[johnny_be_goode]

I'm checking with them which courier are using, was told

"The delivery data will be about 2-3 weeks after a receipt of payment.
From
Japan to Singapore, it takes about a few days by EMS."

Hi All,

Total Cost (with delivery, GST, Duties and Tax, T/T fee, banking fee) 8O
Gotoh FR Black = S$115
Gotoh FR Chrome = S$111

I hope there will be no surprises.
This seems too good to be true...

If order alone will cost around S$174
US retail USD$165 for Chrome!!! (B4 Delivery)
Street price USD120 - ShredCow.

I calculated for 10 sets
2 more spots FCFS and then no more. In case anything goes wrong, just 10 people cursing me.

Let’s see how this goes...get 10 sets and we order. This is first time dealing with this agent. If anything goes wrong, don't blame me. It’s a lot of saving already. :lol:

If you are not willing to risk S$100++, please back out now! I’m in the same boat since I’m also ordering 1. I found this great deal and got excited and shared with everyone who are interested. Thought you all should know this. Did not expect mass order to be such a hassle… anyway if you are a cautions, calculative type, please back out now.

Only sensible, adventurous musician who can make firm decision to join this mass order! Don’t want any hard feeling or conflict since we are dealing with money here. :wink:

[bluepowder]

just wanna know the difference between a black and a chrome one :lol:

 

[johnny_be_goode]

Gotoh FR Black = S$115
Gotoh FR Chrome = S$111

S$4 :lol:

 

[bluepowder]

alright smartass :lol: answer the question :lol:

 

[johnny_be_goode]

don't think there is any difference besides color and price, just that usually gold hardware cost more than black
and black cost more than chrome.
function wise should be the same

my decision to get black is to replace a black trem and that all the hardware on that guitar is black. It will look weird if I got a different color. :wink:

 

[ShredCow]

In order of less durable to most durable

Gold
Black
Chrome

Gold wears off the fastest.

 

[johnny_be_goode]

are you referring to color wear or material wear?
All same material right?

 

[ShredCow]

In my experience, once the colour wears off, whatever is below it, starts rusting/tarnishing really quick.

Ibanez Cosmo finish is one of the weakest, worse than gold.

Black and Chrome are pretty much up there, but chrome, depenidng on the thickness of the coaitng, is usually more durable.
