Who else is going to pay when they want to take a chopper out for a 'Jolly' at the weekend ?
The exchange rates are good to us at the moment, it's almost 2 for 1 from the US but yes, the trick is getting them back, a lot of folk ARE doing it though, like most muso's i just don't think i would get away with it.
It's been Dollars to Pounds for a long, long time here and not just instruments, anything from guitars to cars and Harleys, if it's $1000 US it will magically end up as £1000 when you get your wallet out.
I like to support UK builders when i can, Bravewood and the wonderful Errington's (late of Richmond NYorks) but their costs just to stay in business make their stuff even
more expensive.
Ah well, at least the suns out at last ............
