dont know how it is in Denmark, Andreas, but here in Austria, but guess it's the same all over Europe, even though the Euro has been strong compared to the US Dollar, we European teleafflicted "Americans at heart" have always been paying premium prices for US made guitars..

If I look at the dealers here, mean the ones who can afford to have a full line of let's say premium Fender guitars in stock, they basically still charge the Fender USD prices pretty much in Euros, which make all of those wonderful guitars true luxury items...here, this side of the pond...

Could be shipping and import tax etc etc..

And I for one still need to try out a guitar in the shop..

Could never buy a guitar via internet...

Maybe I'm wrong..

But that limits me to the "high price" dealers here..
