baka sir Firemodel was pertaining to some models like yung american deluxe nyo is almost a hundred then yung hotrod alam ko a little over a hundred grand?
Correct. For example, EJs now in the states can be had for around US$1,400-1,700 while the converted price of P120,000 at current exchange rate might be closer to US$2,800. Clearly, taxes, VAT12% and air freight do not add up to this margin. At US$2,800, we Filipinos should get Custom Shop level... Hindi pa nga iyun masterbuil
If Fender did say that it was the top 1% sounding EJ they had then I would consider the price but given that it really was only above average, the price is just too much. For info, for maybe an additional US$500, I could get a Strat style Baker which is entirely hand made by Gene with select woods and a lifetime warranty who was by the way a Masterbuilder at Fender.
