Looking forward to meeting you Peter!

Definitely stop by earlier in the show and say hello and snap a few pics. John Petrucci will probably be in the booth on Friday, but the EBMM guys will know more.

Have a safe flight!

I am not sure if I want to know the Aussie retail price compared to the USA retail price.
I got a bad feeling... :ugh:
But will be happy to humble pie if they are priced the same as the USA.
Hope I eat some humble pie, but if they jack the price on Aussies, they will sell about 2.. lol

Some companies must think we do not watch the exchange rate or USA price lists.
1 aussie dollar is worth $1.05 US at the moment. <<<<<<<<<<<<<<<
So if they are priced higher, Lucy will have some explaining to do. :nono:

Show the Aussies some love with the pricing please. :yesway:

The biggest thing that comes into play with International Pricing is freight.

All Sterling By Music Man guitars and basses are built in Indonesia, then shipped to the USA, where my tech staff (which I also head up) do a complete inspection and full set up to each and every instrument, then they are repacked and shipped out from here to all points around the world.

With fuel prices and world events constantly change and evolving, all of that comes into play with the final cost. Our Aussie distributor, CMC, really does a super job bringing in the product and promoting it (especially with their YouTube Video Reviews), as well as trying to keep a fair cap on the freight costs by ordering in quantity.

JP70 will have a list price of $899 and a MAP street price of $629 FYI.

Time to call that favorite local dealer of yours and tell them to stop by at NAMM and come on board with Sterling By Music Man.
