How much does an ESP custom shop ACTUALLY cost?

sakeido · 02-13-2007, 12:44 AM

I was just wondering how much an ESP custom shop guitar actually costs. They seem to be way cheaper then a Jackson custom.. but they quote the retail price too, which seems to be way higher then you actually have to pay. My last Jackson custom quote was something like $6400usd but it was marked down almost 50% and ESP's custom quotes are like $4700usd for a 7 string but what is their markdown on those?

Anyone know? Please?

I heard in the 3000-3500 price range, depending on options, dont quote me on it tho

Either way since ur across the border your going to have to pay retarded customs fee.. isnt it like 17% or something??

Id say best off getting a kxk, their only around the $1500 range so customs wont totally rape you, not to mention exchange of USD to CDN

Why would you pay retarded custom fees? You just order it through the dealer.

I have no idea how much it would cost, best bet is to talk to your local dealer.

Customs fee and import taxes are in the law. That's why I'd have to pay extra 22% for the product+shipping here in Finnyland. And I think about 3% of all that as customs fee.
If I ordered through a dealer, someone else would have to pay those (maybe not as much though), and they'd charge me in the end.

I suppose in Canada it'd be cheaper to order it through some friends/whatever in the US and just take it across the border as luggage.

you wanna find out? do the online quote at esp, then contact a dealer and findout how much it is, simple as that.

Find an online dealership that'll let you make and order a custom through them... because tax from buying it "in person" on a $3000 guitar is just nasty. I learned that from when i talked to GC about getting a Jackson Custom. So i talked to the guys at www.GuitarAsylum.com, and they can order the customs and sell it to you online. So find an online dealer in Canada if you can hehe

Of course it depends on your dealer, mind was like 6300ish list/retail price what ever. I paid just a tad under 4000 for mine. Mine is pretty loaded too, it's going to be 7 banger bari, ebony board, 24 frets, no inlay, camo paint job(this added quite a bit to the price), neck thru, string thru, emgs, pointed headstock, horizon. I should have her anytime now, supposed to be arriving here this week or next week. I priced out same thing but just in snow white, and it came out to be just under 3000 for it. It all depends on your dealer though, you got to find a good dealer.

Peace
