stevezapp Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 The better half and I are visiting New York in the next few months and I want to pick up a new Gibson while i'm out there. Anyone know any good Gibson stockists in or around NY? Oh, and does anyone have any advice on getting them back into the UK (preferably without duty!)

elessar820 Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 Alto Music in Middletown, it's maybe an hour and a half or so drive from the city, but the prices are pretty good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saturn Posted February 9, 2009 Share Posted February 9, 2009 My wife went to NY last year and bought me a tee-shirt from Rudy's. That's as close as I'm going to get to a vintage LP I guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stevezapp Posted February 9, 2009 Author Share Posted February 9, 2009 Just walk through customs... If you get stopped expect to pay 15% on top of the value... Flight959 Yeah, this is a worry. I did however go to the Cayman Islands to live and took my Platinum SG there and back. Didn't get stopped once... but with a new guitar in tow, i'll no doubt get the sweats, start shaking and dribbling and get stopped. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
