Blingking Posted January 24, 2008 Report Share Posted January 24, 2008 Are you not interested in a nice custom built guitar? Be different;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HateEvent Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 Are you not interested in a nice custom built guitar? Be different;)With regards to our friend Paul, I believe that the decision on definitive specifications would be too short lived so the time frame for it being constructed would be ever extending due to change of heart!

Bigsby Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 You know, if I was you (and I'm not), I would probably buy a nice used Historic from the States. Even with shipping and duty, with the exchange rates just now you will get a good deal.Check out Mark's Guitar Loft, at the moment they have a super sweet oxblood for 2450 and a 58 reissue for the same price. Mark's Guitar Loft ~ electricsThey get new stock in all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bigsby Posted January 25, 2008 Report Share Posted January 25, 2008 There's a great shop in Houston called Fuller's Vintage Guitars, just off the I-10, opposite the Astrodome.Fuller's Vintage Guitar - Welcome to Fullers Vintage GuitarThere's also a Guitar Centre where I bought a Grestch for a great price, but the place is staffed by clowns and unless your mate really knows what he is doing I would urge caution. Fullers Vintage are straight up guys though.Bear in mind that if he is taking it back himself he MAY be able to get through Customs without paying duty, but he might get stung. Also, although I have been lucky when importing guitars and been allowed to take them on as hand luggage, they could just as easily have made me place them in the hold and there would have been a decent chance of them getting smashed up by baggage handlers.

Good advice as always First there was the Barbarians Hordes then Hitlers Stormtroopers and then came the Baggage Handlers. Cunts to a man. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonhenry Posted January 26, 2008 Report Share Posted January 26, 2008 Call my buddy Nick, he'll get you sorted: Nicks GuitarsHe's got at least one Les Paul in stock that might do the trick. If not, Gbase - Home is the on-line inventory of the vintage dealers in the US, most ship internationally. Or you can have it FedEx'ed to the depot in houston for pickup and have your friend pick it up there.I've been to Fullers, didn't find them very nice to deal with. Might have been a bad day, but if people are shitty to me I take my cash and walk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So on I went with a guitar in one hand and my backpack over my shoulder. No argument from anyone at security.Dig deep in the Airline websites and you'll find the exception page. Print that page to carry with you in case you need it. But the folks at the xray amachine know the regs. It's the idjits at the ticket counter you need to convince.This is from BA's web site, it's not their rules, these are government regs about airline travel in the UKHand baggageYou may take a musical instrument on board as hand baggage as long as the item is guitar sized or smaller.
