Curious lang ako...bakit sobrang mahal ng Music Man guitars?

[keithX]

Dapat ata "bakit sobrang mahal ng equipment sa JB Music?" ang pangalan ng thread na to.

Bumili ako sa JB ng Mesa at MusicMan. Fair naman yung discount. Mas mura ng konti sa HK. Pero kung ikokonsider yung tax na sadyang mataas dito sa Pinas, fair na yung bigay sa akin. Nakakagulat lang naman kasi tag price nila. Pero pag nakausap naman ng maayos, ok naman.

Same experience. Humingi ako ng gusto kong discount at binigay naman nila. Mahal lang konti sa internet price.

Ok na din considering wala pang shipping price un nasa internet.

 

Tama. Mas mahal lang ng konti sa internet price. Ako yung taong hindi makapaghintay. Kaya satisfied na ako sa deal.

Don't get me wrong ha. I'm not from JB. Alam kong taga yung ibang items nila at wala nang discount. Yung isang EBMM ko inorder ko sa labas. Pero medyo mataas din yung tax pagdating dito. Pero mas mura pa din kesa sa JB.

With the case of Mesa, panalo talaga ang deal with JB. 220v with warranty. Pag kumuha ka sa labas 110v lang makukuha mo tapos walang warranty.

When talking about local prices on music instruments, most people seems to forget that the Philippines has a 35% customs duty on imports of everything music instruments. If you add other standard duties and taxes you get to about 60% on top of the import price.

Kahit yung EHX Metal Muff nila mas mahal ata ng 1.5k kesa sa Lazer. Considering na pareho naman silang brand new. )

uy pareho tayong seaman. Malaki talaga ang difference ng mga prices sa TomLee tsaka sa JB. Meron pang ayos na music store na pwede mong puntahan,, yung sa Singapore. nalimutan ko lang name!!

Napadaan kasi ako sa JB Audio Solutions kanina at nakita ko yung mga Music Man nila, around 210k ang isa. 

Conversely, I could say bakit cheap ang budget mo... Heh heh.  But seriously maganda workmanship ng Music Man if I could find one that has hiyaw.  Still searching though.  I would still say 95% of Musicman Guitars just don't meet my requirement in terms of hiyaw.  Just tested a JP6 sa JB Megamall.  Ang ganda pero patay ang tunog.

With regards to pricing, we all know the FCKED UP pricing policy of JB Music.  But to truly benchmark the correct street price in the U.S., always check the themusiczoo.com.  They have an extensive selection and are priced fairly AND most importantly, they will honestly tell you if a specific guitar is NOT responsive if you ask.  But the most important thing I like about the music zoo is wala silang staff na Pinoy na bolero.

and also the peso to dollar conversion when they import items. most people do not know that you will have to pay more to buy US currency

1 USD -> 41 PHP
43 PHP -> 1 USD

Let me correct you there, duty on electric guitars is 10% (AHTN Code 9202.90.00).  VAT is 12%.  Whatever is charged to the importer in terms of VAT is deductible from their OUTPUT VAT.  So it is NOT 35%.    Other standard duties are documentary stamps and processing which is less than 1%. Please PHILMUSIC check your facts before you post.  Ito nga ang ayaw ko sa Pinoy, hindi thorough bago magsalita.
