I've been cruising craigslist a lot lately for historic les pauls, and it seems that every one I see listed in london is vastly cheaper than here in the states. I always input their asking price in pounds to a currency exchange calculator (some website) into dollars. After the exchange, the US dollar amount is always nearly half of what I see these guitars go for in the states. There was an R9 for 1600 pounds, which came to about $2500 I think, and a 69 deluxe goldtop p90 that was 900 pounds which came out to something like $1300.
Is this an untapped source right now because of a foreign economy? last year a lot of europeans were buying up guitars here in the states because of the Euro vs. the dollar and they were getting great deals. Anybody else notice this or have any thoughts?
