Re: Forums have been slow, how about a 'In the mail' thread?
So the wrap-up is I ended up adding $1k (in round figures) to my initial purchase price. Anyone want an approx figure for a $2kish USD guitar import (assuming you get reasonable shipping costs, which should be more like $250)? Bank on around $3700 ballpark depending on the exchange rate at time of purchase. Mine ended up just shy of $4k in total.

Med relic surf green. Actually damn nice in the flesh, phenomenal relic job really and feels better than the other Suhrs I've had with the roasted then treated neck (and I'm at Suhr # 8, so I'm getting a pretty good feel for them now!).Conway wrote:Bloody hell.

Got it from Prymaxe, emailed for 20% off. Ended up $340ish shipped I think?finn61 wrote:Aww man, i've been keen on one of these! Where'd you get it from? How much?TmcB wrote:

They sound amazing, have simple on board controls but can go mental with app and midi.
You can even replace the options on the front to be different ones.

Prymaxe will give you 20% in the chat if you ask I reckon. They're pretty sales driven...
Larrivee 00 Acoustic. FAV Strat for electric. Ibanez SDGR5 for bass. Push for Ableton. When not doing that, 3D CAD for tunnels...

Turns out I know the seller of this SG. Quick phone call, bish bash bosh, leave it aaaart guvnor, nod's as good as a wink to a blind horse, and it's mine. Decent hardware for the money.

Nice one. A good deal indeed. I kept looking back at that auction. I'm not sure i could've lived with the colour. Too much like one of those entry level Epi sgs. Might be all good in the flesh though?

Yeah, know what you mean but I can look past it if it turns out to be a good guitar. I had a SG Custom in the same red (came with EMGs from new) and I liked that.Mattallica wrote:Nice one.

Ah well there you go, no worries at all. It's the only SG i've seen with an ebony fretboard, that'd make it a winner for meI had a SG Custom in the same red (came with EMGs from new) and I liked that.
Putting some chrome pickup covers on would help i reckon. Are you going to give the pickups a go or take them straight out?

Putting the BK Mules in that I bought recently so those existing ones will be straight out.Mattallica wrote:Ah well there you go, no worries at all.
