I'm mid process buying a guitar from Zenmarket and so far so good. Shipping via Fed Ex has been quoted at £55 and you can expect to pay import duty of 20-25% I believe but that would still be a lot less than £899 quoted for the one above.
@Eviltwin14 definitely worth looking into?? Thanks very much
I bought a pre-owned JV Strat (export) about 10 years ago and found the 21 Frets forum a good source of information. No idea if it's much used these days but worth a look if it's still running.
A lot of people now question the relative quality of JVs against what you can buy today, suggesting the prices are over-inflated and better options are on the table. Depending on what you want from a guitar, that may be true. All I can say is that mine has something about it that makes me want to pick it up and play - and this despite that fact I'm not keen on the vintage radius fretboard. Occasionally I think about getting a new neck with a more bend-friendly radius but I worry it might lose something! Also, the body carve is sublime.
Don't shy away from one with dings and chips. For a poly finish non-high-end guitar the JV finishes are pretty thin. Mine has plenty of 'character' - because it wants to be played!
Be wary, however, as I'm looking at buying a looper off the guy but he's only accepting bank transfer and also has a PS5 for sale which he "accidentally ordered 2 of" which is putting me off...
