Guitars in the USA

Are they that cheap? I'm going to New York on the 8th September and if I have any money left from my pay cheque I'll be looking at bringing a guitar back - if it's cheap...

Which poses another question I guess, if I walk back through customs with a shiney new guitar in a shiney new case I'll have to declare it, right? How much will I pay if I do, and is there any way I can get round doing this? :confused:

Are they really... interesting... I've heard the RG series is pretty good, and I've always wanted a Satriani model but they're a bit on the expensive side, even with the generous exchange rate.

If there's any money in it for me I might be able to help.

Where do you live?

Essex, UK.

You're not from customs are you...?

Nothing in New York is cheap. There you'll get burned with a 13.5+% sales tax. That's more than twice what you'll see elsewhere.

If you must, grab a train over to New Jersey.

Ooh didn't see your post!

Is New Jersey cheap? Is it far away?

Cheaper then New York city and New York county. It's indeed far away from Essex.

lol, yes, that much is true.

I meant from NY.
