The Stratosphere
Anyone bought any parts from here? https://stratosphereparts.com/
They appear to have complete guitars which are stripped and re-sold, still appears to work out cheaper than the retail of the guitars, WTF?!??!

I've bought stuff from them before with no issues, only small bits though.
So, is that low alcohol or no alcohol at all? mmmm, no alcohol, do you want to try it? Noooooooooo.

Re: The Stratosphere
No GST by the looks of it even with shipping you can land a modern strat in parts for less than off the shelf here!Bg wrote:is that with gst and shipping?jeremyb wrote:Anyone bought any parts from here? https://stratosphereparts.com/

Bought a neck from them. Took 2 weeks to arrive. Expensive but it's a genuine Fender neck. Plenty of fakes out there.
