Help my gf be deemed true!

[DaRKoN_]

A few months ago my gf must have overheard me gassing about a Xiphos, and being the awesome champ that she is she arranged to buy one for me for my birthday!!!!

The only issue is.. my bday was back in June... and obviously.. it's now august

She started organising it a month or two before my bday via her friend who is a guitar dealer, and well, I don't know the full story but the net result is it's not here yet...

So basically I need to know if there is a shop you guys can recommend or from someone (in the states) that we can just buy the damn thing from and get it shipped already (out to Australia) so I can start to

Buying a Xiphos locally here runs about $1700

She's all bummed that it didn't arrive for my bday (was a surprise) and is getting annoyed that it's still not here after several months...!

Awesome story bro.
Order from zZounds.com - Musical Instruments Music Store. Shop for Guitars, Drums, Amplifiers and Equipment.
I got a jackson DXMG from them about 3 years ago man.
Maybe you should check it out, or find out a true authorized dealer for it?
or
Guitar Center is always very helpful, maybe u can try from them?

ZZounds do not ship outside the US

IBANEZ 2008 XPT707FX Gray Chameleon XIPHOS 7-String Electric Guitar

Email that guy I've heard of him shipping overseas...

I'm not sure if they ship internationally but if you order from Electric guitars, Acoustic guitar and Fender guitars - Instrument Pro I have a 10% off coupon you could use. I bought an amp from them years ago and almost every month they send me a coupon. They have free shipping too on more expensive items.

Solved the international shipping issue. GF's work has an office in NY, and they can just fwd it on... awesome...

@lobee, instrumentpro don't seem to have the 7 string Xiphos.

zzsounds seem to be $100 cheaper than everyone else.. so looks like I'll go with them.

Ibanez XPT707FX

They have it but it's only available for the U.S. They have a separate, limited stock that's available for international orders and the Xiphos isn't included.

Seems like you got it sorted though, happy belated b-day!

Edit: I just had a thought. Since you're buying it from the U.S. anyway why not get it from Instrument Pro for $720 with that 10% off coupon code? Let me know if you want to use it.

Was just thinking the same thing.. cheers dude I'll flick you a pm about it!

 

[CrushingAnvil]

: ) good luck with all this man, and your girlfriend sounds like a doll. keep shredding.

 

[Snoop]

uh, i wish my GF will present me new cool guitar haha... very nice!

 

[bulletbass man]

you might want to send an Email to Rich at Ibanezrules.com

He's a very helpful guy and I know he's gotten things that weren't necessarily instock for people before.

Plus he gives each guitar a very good setup before he ships them.

I'm getting a rondo fretless from my g/f in october

Some Ibanez dealers will drop ship certain guitars wherever. Thats what my store did with a Steve Vai Euphoria Acoustic
