Is this a good time for American buyers to look at Thomann’s catalog again?

It has been for a while...

Where else can you get Squier CV quality teles for like than $220 shipped?

Add a second guitar and that tele is more like $185 if you split the $70 cost of shipping equally across a pair.

Or add a case like when I just got my RB-414 bass, I paid just about half of what I would for a Jaguar case (Gator brand) from Thomann vs. any domestic supplier. Same exact case. They both shipped in separate boxes so it was basically like they threw the case in a box for free and shipped it from Germany at cost)

Not me! I tried them out and got a guitar with a neck twist. That happens sometimes. But Thomann made that return the absolute worst guitar purchase experience of my life (even worse than when a guitar was stolen by a FedEx driver).

How can Thomann sell a 50 watt Marshall 1987X for only $1,248?
That amp is 3K at Sweetwater.
Am I missing something? What's the catch? Taxes? Tariffs? Insane shipping cost?
Somebody please clue me in before I make a purchase I'll regret.

They won't sell it to you in the states unfortunately...

Same with the Yamaha Revstar being $200 less than it is domestic. $849 US vs. ~$660 Thomann

I miss when they would sell Gibson/Epiphone and Fender/Squiers too. Got a killer deal on an MIJ 50s strat before they stopped selling to US market.
