any one try the gibson bfg ?

Is it selling in singapore?
How much?


From review it either you love it or hate it!

Most hardcore les paul would hate it cause of the look...but for new wave of guitarist would love the raw , unfinish look?

What are you view?

usa - selling less the 1K USD ( around or less then SGD 1.6K + shipping - due to weak USD).....

Do you think some stuff in singapore are over price as compare to US online retailer?

 

[markedymark]

it is priced slightly higher.

but the pup config on that baby is orgasmic.

 

[PatheinRaindropMoe]

Add in your shipping price from the USA then tell us if our people are pricing it higher.

 

[markedymark]

you cant compare directly, people like sweelee get straight from gibson, + bulk shipping

unless youre telling me you wana order a container of gibsons?

So?


You have to ship the guitar over a large distance... over different climates...

You can't ensure it will arrive in 1 piece...

You don't get to try the guitar.... BIG minus point

Methinks its not as simple a thing as "good deal just ship". Many other factors to consider... but i suppose if you are just going to buy a lower priced guitar, its not as crucial to have that 1st hand experience.
