worldwide ... But I called sweetwater and they said Gibson restricts to
ship their products to outside the U.S. But Marshall does not.... I
called music123 and they said they both restrict ......... Thats
laim..... can someone PLEASE PLEASE FOR GOD'S SAKE HELP ME OUT ON THAT

Gibson, like other companies, has a tendency to be protective of dealer
territories. Send an email to Gibson asking them clearly what their
position is on international sales, and how you can most easily obtain one.
If you're trying to buy a new one, part of the reason is for the warranty,
and you don't want to buy it in a way that automatically invalidates the
warranty.
You mught try other places. I believe that The Twelfth Fret in Toronto,
Canada regularly sells Gibson product internationally - though perhaps used,
not new - and you can ask. But, I've also mentioned the agreement you must
reach on payment before going very far with this process. Buying used
from a reputable source can save you a fair amount of money.

And as it happens, they have a few Marshalls in stock.

Two others with international service and a good stock of used Gibsons are
Gruhn Guitars and Elderly Instruments. Don't know much about Gruhns, but I
have had very good service from Elderly, exporting Guitars and accessories
to Australia. They seem a bit cheaper than Gruhn overall.

Doing a little homework before bidding can protect yourself tho.

How's everything going over there? There a big scene for guitar music
or is it mostly hip-hop/rap "dance lite" like the US ?
