Guitar Players HELP ME OUT

[Glen-BoB]

Now that I've got your attention let me start by saying if you're in the US then you can't help me. I need my Canadian pals to check out their local music stores and find me an ESP Standard Viper exactly like this one:

I checked most of the big ones online like LAmusic, Mother's Music and Axe but all of them need to be special ordered and they don't know how long it will take for me to get one. Just thought I'd see if there's one one sitting in a shop somewhere before I placed an order. They tell me it could take a few months, yikes.

Thanks!

is this a Canadian exclusive?

 

[Glen-BoB]

no, not at all. It's just that every online (canadian) store that I've tried to buy it from has told me that it's a special order and they do not know how long it will take to get here. It could come from California distributor which means it will have to cross customs and apparently these guitars, with their active pick-ups, have had troubles with security because the guiards seem to think the pickups could be used to make bombs or some ****, hahahaha. Anyway, it could take 6 to 8 weeks coming from Cali. the other option is it would come from Korea and then it's even longer. I'd just like to find a store in Canada that has one hanging on the wall that I could buy. There are lots of online american stores that have them but not sure what sort of duty I would pay on a $1700 guitar. I paid $125 duty on a g'damn football jersey once. It's rediculous.

gotcha. I've still got my contacts and discount from when I worked at a music store, and we were an ESP dealer. Let me know if you want me to see if they have one or how long it would take to get one.

 

[Glen-BoB]

Cool man, I'll keep you in mind. for the duty price I could fly down and pick it up, hahahaha.

 

[Glen-BoB]

I FOUND ONE!!!!

Nevermind fellas. Looks like Mother's Music has one in their Edmonton store. I'll be scooping that up me thinks.

 

[Off_contstantly]

Congrats! Aren't duty prices based off of the sale price?

 

[Glen-BoB]

I used to think so but I have no idea after that business with the Jersey.

 

[Wreck]

What jersey and how much?

 

[Glen-BoB]

What jersey and how much?

it was my authentic personalized Raiders Jersey. I'd say I paid close to $300 for it after shipping, taxes and exchange rate wasn't great then either. THEN I paid another $125 duty when it got here. absolutely stupid but I wanted that damn Jersey with MATHEON on the back, hahahahaha.

Well I bought the guitar from the Edmonton store. Should be here on, or before, wednesday. GIDDY-UP!!! I'm not even a real guitar player and now I have an ESP and a Gibson, lol. Anyone wanna buy a drumset??? hahaha. Kidding.

Here's my new toy. terrible pictures. I don't know what it is about this room but every picture I take in it is terrible. Think it's the yellow walls. Anyhoo, here are a couple pics:
