IanHenry Posted September 2, 2023 Share Posted September 2, 2023 Hi Marco, how are things in Milan, great city, and a beautiful Duomo I've had the pleasure of stopping there a few times on my way to the Mille Miglia. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Marco, I don't have a car that would qualify for entry into the Mille Miglia, The nearest that I do have is a Morgan but as Morgan never entered the Mille Miglia that doesn't count, I nearly go to spectate.

I hope you enjoy that motorcycle and it serves you well. Gibson shortage in Italy. That's just not good enough... but good luck with the quest Marco Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pinch Posted September 13, 2023 Share Posted September 13, 2023 I was gonna suggest Thomann - they really are good and their customer service is great - but when it's an expensive guitar it really is best to try it in person. Hang in there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael13Fr Posted September 26, 2023 Share Posted September 26, 2023 Well, i like those models. My favourite is the '60 with 60s cherry finish. But the blue ones are great too. Too bad the price in France is much more expensive than the conversion rate (it should be lower with the change from $ to €) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael13Fr Posted September 28, 2023 Share Posted September 28, 2023 The prices are the same and i have to pay the import tax from UK. But i see that Gear4Music has a storage house in Germany. I will check about that. Thanks 😉 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marco mancini Posted September 29, 2023 Author Share Posted September 29, 2023 If Sweetwater hasn't still got it in store that means that this nowhere to be seen , the italian dealers cannot even pre- order it for their customers https://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/LPSt60FTBbB--gibson-les-paul-standard-60s-figured-top-electric-guitar-blueberry-burst Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rct Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 You would be amazed to see all of the things I can't get from Italy. Like, books worth of things that I can't get from Italy because I'm in America. rct Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rabs Posted September 30, 2023 Share Posted September 30, 2023 Cant you buy directly from Gibson these days? Im sure they ship internationally now.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michael13Fr Posted October 21, 2023 Share Posted October 21, 2023 I have another question. Has Gibson a storage house in Europe ? Cause i would know if i buy from Gibson France, i have to pay the import Taxes (and the cost is high) or not (depending on whether the guitars are sent from the USA or Europe) Thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Michael13Fr Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 (edited) Ok Thanks It's good to know (In France, it's +20-25% of the price to import from outside the UE) Edited October 23, 2023 by Michael13Fr Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
merciful-evans Posted October 24, 2023 Share Posted October 24, 2023 Kryst... guitars will need passports next. Maybe that's why Gibson started putting pictures in the case? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
