Got you. That is REALLY cheap for FedEx international. :yesway:

Yea, I don't know what the hell is going on there. Either their business rates are stellar (that's good even for non-covid times) or they had enough margin where they could subtract some of the true ship cost out of the purchase price.

I'd be happy with $150 to send a guitar to the US at this point.

That is what I though too. I figure $160-180 these days. The guitar was used and not super expensive and I do not think they put part of the shipping in the cost of the guitar.

Still, this is a pretty standard size guitar box (190cm l+w+d), Tokyo->Utah:

Kinda looking like I'm getting a 2x12 or a loadbox, leaning towards the loadbox since I really don't wanna use the ribbon mic I'm getting for my sax on a cab.

When Fender releases a guitar with a matching headstock, an angel gains their wings.

And I gain a boner. :lol:

@Bloody_Inferno Orange is such an underrated finish on a guitar. Sure, it immediately makes me think of Halloween and carved pumpkins but still such a nice finish. Would love to see a Fender Strat in that bright orange finish with a maple fretboard. They should do some sort of neon series. Anything but sunbursts and other vintage specs. :rolleyes:

I love that my wife’s first reaction was “oh you need that, you don’t have an orange guitar”.

The Player Strat Capri Orange is the closest thing Fender has at the moment. As for Neon finishes, they've got those HM reissues and the Lead II series, though none in orange.
