Edwards Guitars

[madnessman]

I've decided to buy an Edwards LP98 LTS in vintage honeyburst. Would it be cheaper to buy it in Japan or buy it in Singapore? How much does Davis sell it for? Ishibashi sells it for 82,320 yen (1378 SGD according to xe.com).

How is t cheaper in Singapore? Aren't I paying for shipping and custom taxes as well?

The prices posted here are inclusive of GST. Why do you want to include shipping and custom taxes?

Davis is a Distributer of Edwards its definately cheaper from them then buying directly from japan. Shipping costs like a additional $100 + 5% tax from the shipping as well. And if you buy from japan you have to pay according to Japan yen exchange rate which is Bloody bad now. 49.5Yen per dollar ridiculously bad now used to be 80-90 yen. Goodluck if you plan on buying from japan it will probably cost you like $500more honestly. Unless you settle for 2nd hand

Hmm. You do not need to pay for shipping and custom taxes. The guitars are already in the shop

maybe he meant he wants to buy it IN Japan cos he's visiting the country or something and that's why he's wondering y it's cheaper to buy from Davis, who has to ship it over, as compared to buying it in Japan itself.

I'm not sure which is cheaper, but it will still make sense if it's cheaper in Singapore because pricing is based on individual consumer's willingness to pay.

Maybe Japanese are just willing to pay more and so they chose to price it that way. Pricing it lower in Singapore still gives them a sizeable profit margin i'm sure
