essexbasscat Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 Pretty much what it says on the top really. Is there a UK division of Stewmac that anyone's found ? There must be a way around that import duty, surely ? Cheers All Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BassBus Posted January 25, 2014 Share Posted January 25, 2014 CH Guitars sell lots of bits on eBay. Crimson Guitars sell some tools too. Guitarwoodsupplies are based in Portugal and sell through eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

essexbasscat Posted January 26, 2014 Author Share Posted January 26, 2014 Thanks folks I'll have a look at those sites for the right crowning tool. The angled one I'm using at the moment leaves too many tooling marks, so it's looking like a [expensive] diamond crowning tool [expensive]. Trouble with Stewmac is they seem to have all the right tools and no UK branch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You would pay 20% vat on top of the selling price if they had a uk branch and you would pay it on an import. Sometimes if you get a small ish and not too expensive an item it slips through the net and you dont get charges Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Buy 10 and sell the other 9 on eBay. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
