- I recently purchased a Fender sunburst Strat down here for $1500 NZ
- ... which is not a common amount of $$$ to spend on a guitar down
- here. Eric Clapton Signature models run at $2700 NZ as do many Gibson
- Les Paul guitars.... divide those figures roughly by 2 to get an
- equivalent $US figure. But it's all relative.
-
- I only bought the Strat last week but spent hours playing hamers,
- Fender, Gibsons Ibanez before finally deciding. Because it was a lot
- of money to me, I had to be sure I was happy with what I was buying.
