Five Emeralds and no tax/duty. I don't understand why some people get charged and others don't (but I'm not complaining about being in the don't category).

No fees here either on several stock and custom build Emeralds. Since GuitaLuva is from the "Great White North" (presumably Canada) there may be different tariff and customs fees than coming to the US. None between US and Ireland to my knowledge.
Thee was a case a couple of years ago where someone here reported customs fees coming into the US at the end of a calendar year, but he filed an appeal. I don't recall any report of the eventual outcome.

Not really a hack since the question revolves around how long it will be before Earl is back at the carbon fiber. How are you Earl? Keeping an eye on those Emeralds?

Posting is tricky because my upright time is limited, so not much computer time. Touch screens on the iPad and iPhone don't work well with guitar-calloused fingertips on my left hand. Who knew? Evan, all five Emeralds are safe but lonely. I was able to play some before the operation, 20-30 minute sessions. Surgery was a.week ago today. Life is challenging when your dominant hand cannot be used for anything.

Hey glad to hear Earl! You'll be better in no time just thinking about playing guitar (visualize yourself getting there). Glad to hear the pain isn't as bad as expected. You might just find that you play better than ever

Hey Earl! I’m glad to know that you’re now on the mend, hopefully with ongoing noticeable improvement. I hope that playing guitar will be part of your physio. It’ll take patience, but likely will be worth it. Good luck!

Thanks all. I told the surgeon that my range of motion goals were a) reaching around to strum my X30, and b) getting that arm to lift the elbow even with the shoulder for tai chi. Anything else is a bonus, but 100% motion would be nice.

Thanks for the update, Earl. I would imagine Alice can play those guitars for you so they don't get lonely... and you can hear them from out front... good incentive for going after that PT! Sending good vibes your way for quick healing, my friend.

On that slip next to the amount someone wrote the word "customs" in pen. I have the box that my X30 came in stored away in my attic. I'll have a look at it tomorrow as the slip on that box might have better detail on what the actual charges are for. I'm currently leaning more toward GST than customs fees. Either way I got raped by someone and it wasn't enjoyable!
