There seems to be a distinct difference in pricing for supposedly the same item...

NZ Guitar parts (operating from Aus) = $291 + shipping
https://www.guitarparts.co.nz/bridges-t ... ickel.html

AmplifiedParts (USA) = US$117 + shipping (that equates to NZ$172 + shipping at a very conservative 0.68 exchange rate)
https://www.amplifiedparts.com/products ... dy-guitars

And then there are many in between or even over NZ$300.

So for that kind of $ difference it is a no brainer if Amplified Parts is a trusted seller, right?

Anyone have experience with Aplified Parts? They sell for the same price via Amazon as well.

Yes, although Iain is a real Good Chap.

Bit the bullet and ordered from Amplified Parts via slow mail.

Thanks Ben for the Gretsch link but I feel I should go for a non branded version
