Thommann does, Im not sure if Stratoshphere is a big enough fish for IRD.
They have a lot of Charvel parts I would like at very affordable prices.

If they do, it should show when you check out. I just visited the site, added a body to my cart, entered my address, and it said $0.00 tax.

Nice one, cheers mate.
What Im wanting to do is put together this model on the cheap

Ive seen the loaded body for $300 on special once, I wish I had jumped on it, its the neck that is often the issue, Im not sure any non Charvel necks would fit the neck join, let alone be the correct scale length to avoid intonation issues with the FR1000 bridge.
Im new to partscasting, so not sure the best way to go about it?

I think I will likely get some of the San Dimas pickups first and put them in an existing axe, they seem to be a cheap way to get quality electronics.
Im looking into cheaper bodies that will fit a Charvel neck which are awesome, something like

I spent about $NZ700 with them a couple of months back and didn't get pinged.

The Rock Shop sale has some decent discounts on Charvels right now if you wanted to scope that angle out instead.

I bought a loaded Tele body last year and didn't get pinged either.
