Tibbs Brian T.

Ordered Monday morning US time, Evening Germany time. Guitar order processed within the hour. Shipped and tracking started Tuesday US time. Arrived Friday Afternoon to Minnesota USA. Outer box did get a little beat up. Slightly oversized for the smaller guitar box inside; so anything placed on top of it will squish the cardboard a lot. Inner guitar box was cushioned with crumpled paper. Guitar-box had foam inside its box on headstock and butt of the body, and a soft mesh bag inside a plastic bag with a bunch of desiccant packets to absorb any stray moisture during shipping. Looks equivalent to any guitar off the shelves from a local music store. No additional tariffs for importing, Everything from Thomann website was it's final price. (Final price was under 800 USD which then might apply import tariff/taxes of 5.0%~5.4% for 9207.9010~.9040 "Musical instruments Other" ~ "Fretted stringed instruments")
