JP6 2011 Saddles

[TGSTK85]

Hi All
I have a "pre stainless steel frets" JP6 with piezo, mystic dream...Great guitar although recently the metal thingy on top of the lower E saddle ( ie the part touching the string) came off and I have been suggested by the CS to buy the whole set. The issue here is that I am located in Europe and on top of the 200+ USD I have to pay another 100 for customs duty and VAT which is a bit too expensive I reckon.
Any chance somebody has some spare old JP piezo saddles in EU?
Thanks for the suggestions in advance,

Regards,

Dave

Hello

Where are you located ?
Perhaps you can check with the European distributors if they have something in stock or if you order thru them.
In France, the distributor is Algam : Pièces détachées pour instruments de musique | Algam Webstore

Good luck

(perhaps, they will say “I’m sorry, Dave. I’m afraid I can’t do that,”) ...

Hi Dave!

Import duty and VAT should in the range of 22% - 25% of the total cost of the saddles + shipping. I'd be very surprised if it's a full 100€ on a 200€ sale.

In the chat box where they make the calculation it was something like that. 100 ca. USD

I don't think that's right. I think it's an outside company that supplies that information. But I know that import duty in the EU is less than 5% (my search is giving me 3.2% for instruments and parts) and VAT as we know is about usually 20-25% depending on the country. I'll get in touch with Music Man and let them know.

What country are you in Dave?
