$800AUD delivered by DHL Express!!
Thomann is great, their cheap shipping rate (for under 30kgs) makes a huge difference
Damn right. When I bought my Ampeg B100R combo (65lbs) shipping here from Germany cost all of €8!

For anyone living in NSW this is the man to see... Charles Cilia. He made his 15 minutes of fame playing with this band; Jerk. He is the gentleman with the mohawk.

However, website has been "under construction" for years. If you could be bothered dropping in on his shop, he manufactures some of the most beautiful guitars I have ever seen.

Another Aussie luthier worth noting... But I couldn't imagine his products suiting the demographic of the Orange forum. Hehe. Still definitely worth the eye candy...

Funnily enough, a good friend of mine is also good friends with Johnathan Devoy from Jerk. I remember playing pool with John and Charles one night in Newtown after a Mz Ann Thropik/Tourettes gig about 10 years ago. He seemed like a nice guy. I had no idea he was building guitars now.
