SlopeD · #1 02-21-2018, 10:17 AM

Border fee's and exchange rates are killing my GAS!

Looking for a dread, OM or 000. Prefer, Martin, Gibson, Stonebridge/Furch, vintage tone. Located in Ottawa ON. PM me if you want to part with something like that. Budget 800-2k ish.

I feel your pain on this one. Last guitar I bought at $3000 USD cost me $4200+ CAD by the time I got her!

A Reverb search based on Country might be helpful. I use it a lot.

Good luck with your search!

I think you should throw caution to the wind and head on down to the 12th Fret and buy this one. I tried it out last week and it was....rather nice:

On a serious note, there were a couple of dynamite, Brazilian David Wren guitars for sale locally - I think one was posted here. Due to the CITES issue the prices were quite attractive.

I've got a very nice Irish built Avalon S200 listed here on the forum. I used to live in northern New York State close by Prescott and Cardinal in Canada, and have a soft spot for Canadian friends. If you were interested maybe we could work out a price that works for both of us.

I have a minty Huss & Dalton Crossroads for sale in the low 2Ks. I live in Buffalo, NY and could easily bring it right to you.

Unfortunately the “low” 2k’s for you is 3k + for us and our low Canadian dollar...
