Hey Lou
Yep, it's a big pond, although although Josh Pike may just have the answer.
http://www.acousticcentre.com.au/ will give you an idea of local prices. Real quitars just get more expensive as they get older. If one is in the market for a serious guitar in the $3-5000 range, it's almost cheaper to fly to Vancouver or the US West Coast, buy one and fly home. Even the plastic Martins sell for over a grand here.

I just put my 12 string Washburn up for sale. I have it in a local shop for sale with a 20% fee for $275 but I paid $600 and barely used it. Instead, I bought a beautiful (6 string) Zager guitar. If anyone is in the market for a Martin sounding, $2000 guitar for half price or less, check them out. I got the ZAD 50 CE (acoustic-electric) on sale for Christmas for $595. My friends have $1500 guitars and they all admit, this one gives it a run for its money.

Hmmm... $275 for the Washburn, $1302 for the airfare from Melbourne to N'Orleans...maybe not.

Yeah, but just think of the fun we can have.Originally Posted by Dicky Knee
I had an Yamaha, Ibanez and the Washburn. Didn't like the Ibanez...played fine but the sound wasn't what I wanted and I stuck out when playing with friends. So, the Ibanez and the Washburn and a crappy 30W Line 6 amp went on the selling block.
I got the Zager and a great deal on a Hagstrom Swede ($390 plus free shipping). I've been a bad boy. So now I have the PRS, Hagstrom and Strat and the Yamaha, Zager and an Ovation Mandolin.
