Re: The Stratosphere
Avoided it by seperate orders, both came under the new $1000 limit and stratosphere aren't charging GST at cart time as they likely don't send more than $60k of stuff to NZ.MattH wrote:Did you get stung for GST, or did you avoid that by splitting the packages?

Re: The Stratosphere
Neck arrived, low E tuner was a little more reliced than the rest so gave it a squeeze with the pliers, probably going to replace with locking vintage ones once I have measured the holes and spacing etc anyway

Re: The Stratosphere
Nice looking parts! Did it work out cheaper than buying a complete guitar?

Re: The Stratosphere
Even with shipping it was cheaper than buying from Sweetwater, although Fender won't let them or others ship to NZ, and I saved about $850 (based on comparing US prices vs NZ prices on similar models) on buying it here had this model been available in the shops.Mike Clayton wrote:Nice looking parts!

Re: The Stratosphere
That's great - does the saving exclude the cost of a Fender hard case (i.e. does comparable price include a hard case)? And which model Strat is it? Cheers

Re: The Stratosphere
What did you think of the website? It's an infuriatingly frustrating site to navigate and search for any particular thing! I would love to, and can, spend some money there but it's nigh on impossible to browse for anything in particular!Molly wrote:Finally got around to looking at the website.
