Of Interest to Carvin Fanciers in UK Re: Prices

I thought this would interest anyone else in the UK with GAS for a Carvin 727/any Carvin.

I emailed the dealer listed on carvinworld.com yesterday, Guitar Lefty, Left handed guitars online, Home page for a quote on the following spec'd DC727:

Quote:

DC727
Right Handed 1 $829.00

WAL - Maple Neck & Walnut Body $50.00
-CG - Clear Gloss Finish (Standard) $0.00

WL - White Logo $0.00
SL - Dunlop Straplocks $10.00
HC11 - Form-Fitted ABS Hardshell Case $49.00

Guitar Total: $1,133.00

The price I was quoted including shipping/customs etc. was £875. I would imagine the price of ordering direct from Carvin (if they bothered shipping to the UK that is) would come to about is £760 (that's £550 guitar, £75 shipping, £135 customs (22%)) so this seems a fairly reasonable price to me. What are other UK peoples thoughts on the price? Worth it?

I thought this might be able to act as a decent benchmark for anyone else wanting a Carvin in the UK too.

I'd originally only intended to spend about £500 but this throws a whole new light on the subject. Need to research other sevens in the £800-900 price range now.

Thanks for info

Should have mentioned they said they need a minimum of 50% deposit. I'd rather pay it all off as soon as possible anyway.

Ahh thanks for the info man!
Been wondering how much a Carvin would be over here for a while, and as I thought, much cheaper than the competition.
