Desperately seeking?

[BarryH]

I'm looking for an American Vintage 57 Strat reissue in left handed, anyone got one for sale or might know where there is one?

When you look on the net, most stores seem to have one but when you phone in they don't but, of course they can get you one. Having phoned Fender UK, they say there's no lefties until January and, because of the pound dropping, there is a 10% increase on all new stuff.

I have a new left handed Fender Deluxe Strat in 3TS and a new left handed American Tele also in 3TS for sale if anyone's interested. Both complete as they came, still with all the goodies and the plastic on the scratchplate.

Cheers
Barry

HI BARRY H,,,,,,,,, HAVE you tried australia as you pound should go a long way over here as it costs a lot of our $$$$ to buy from the UK it should be in reverse for you in UK...
THERE"S a lefty-guitar shop some-where on the net as I have seen it at some stage,,,I'll look..
If I find I'll let you know,,
JUST curious what would be the average hourly pay rate for say a factory worker in UK..,It would be interesting to know ,I think here it's about $20-25.oo per hour ''aud''...
I am a pensioner these day's & Its about $ 200.00 odd ,a week..

Hi Bazz,

Had a quick look for Aussy guitar shops on Google. Fender stuff looks much dearer over there.

I compared the new Fender Standard strat as they are available just about everywhere. An average price in the UK is about 1650 Aussy dollars, the same model with you is in the 2500 Aussy dollars region. I think the exchange rate is roughly 2.37 to the GBP at the minute.

Not sure what VAT and import taxes we'd have to pay from Aus but if it's the same as the US, it adds about 25% to the total.

Cheers
