Thomann has set up a Reverb shop for HB guitars. Initial word is that they are a few bucks more than buying direct. But I would guess returns are easier. Check it out here:

I did see this earlier today, seems like it's about $40-$50ish more than buying directly from Thomann with the only benefit being that in case of a return you're not sending it back internationally as you said.

It's nice that they have this option but I'm still going to stick to grabbing Bentons from GC Used. You usually save 30-40% off the new price, you can see exactly what you're getting (which is super important for me since the figuring in their necks varies from meh to WOW), and you have 45 days to return it with no questions asked.

After my Thomann return nightmare, I agree with @slowhand84. If I ever pick up a Harley Benton, it will be used, with none of my actual money going to Thomann, even through an intermediary.

These are maybe the new good value guitars, like Agiles 2xxx were? Specs are not that bad considering the price IMHO, with free shipping there in the US (what´s the total after tax, I don´t know).

@slowhand84 & @BatUtilityBelt Hopefully this will turn into more HBs on the used market, too!
