About France Guitare Spare parts Fender France Stratocaster Telecaster

• The shipping costs are exorbitant and non-negotiable, including for a small $10 piece weighing barely 100 grams with $50 shipping costs (a real false good deal!!);
• In the event of a problem, the buyer has a virtual right of withdrawal but inapplicable with a seller based in the USA : returning your part at your expense for an exchange or refund will become too expensive. Any carrier will cost between €50 and €100 including tax to ship a neck or body to the USA against signature with insurance, and without guarantee of being reimbursed if the product was not in good condition once delivered to the merchant;
• Any guitar part whose value exceeds €45 excluding tax is subject to customs duties and VAT upon arrival on French territory. These taxes apply to part prices as well as additional shipping costs. A part purchased for $250 including shipping costs in the USA will actually cost you €320 with handling fees;
  
• Chronopost controls and delivers the goods after customs clearance. To do this, Chronopost will charge you a flat rate administration fee of €22 including tax regardless of the value of the piece. Same with the American post office USPS which redirects to colissimo in France which will apply taxes/VAT and handling fees;
• If the merchandise is shipped via another independent carrier, the latter will be responsible for collecting taxes upon delivery to remit them to the state. This is the case for all carriers such as DHL, UPS, etc.;
• Declared or not, the goods are controlled, if the seller does not mention the contents of the package and its shipping value, you risk an estimate of the value of the goods at the convenience of customs: the value of the imported goods will be fixed according to a scale calculated on the basis of known new prices for foreign brands marketed in France. In fact, a part whose second-hand purchase value is €100 may be estimated at double its value if this is not declared on the package. This is at the buyer's risk with a possible fine. The seller will place the invoice inside or outside the package: During an inspection, customs will be able to check the real value of the good before calculating customs duties and the amount of VAT due;
• There is no real good deal on purchasing in the USA because the right of withdrawal is only possible in Europe, if you encounter an incompatibility between a neck and a body, or a part that becomes defective due to transport, the The exchange operation, if possible and offered by the seller, will be excessively expensive. Paying €100 just to return a guitar neck and request an exchange is not a good deal. Knowing that you will pay taxes again for the part exchanged in return;
• If a returned part becomes defective during transport, the seller has the right not to reimburse you, you should know: The burden of proof is on the buyer, it is therefore the importer who will take all the risks .

New and Used Fender Guitar Parts

Simply compare the prices with those charged by professional sellers on ebay such as Stratosphere Reliable Fender and/or the prices of used parts offered by individuals in the USA : once shipping costs and customs fees have been applied, the FranceGuitare prices are more competitive or at least equivalent on high-end pieces. Furthermore, France Guitare is available to advise you and help you in your choice using a free telephone number. By email we will respond to you within 48 hours max!

France Guitare markets new or reconditioned used parts. Some rarer spare parts (necks and bodies) are sometimes second-hand manufactured in the USA by luthiers or " Custom Shops " with a license to manufacture parts to Fender® standard. Some of the pieces sold on our site are sometimes unique and offered on the auction market on www.ebay.fr.

All guitar hardware and electronic parts are branded parts, whether switches, tremolos or machine head tuners ( Kluson or Gotoh , TIP, CTS , and others), thus meeting the specifications of all Fender® category guitars.

It should also be understood that used Fender Stratocaster parts sold occasionally by individuals on ebay are not representative of the price and quality of Fender® parts sold new on the French market. Apart from the risk of purchasing a false or counterfeit part, a new or used Fender® guitar with a retail value of €1,500 will never see its new (or reconditioned) neck sold at a low price. for 200€ or 300€ on the sole pretext that it has already been mounted on a guitar!!

New marked-down necks very often sell for between €350 and €500 depending on the level of range: You should therefore not hope to find new (or reconditioned) Fender® brand parts sold at the same price as marked-down parts. Connoisseurs will understand: prices on the spare parts market are not the same as those of second-hand guitars!!

France Guitare also and more rarely offers unique objects such as amplifiers or amplifier parts, vintage effects pedals or old ( vintage ) guitars alongside the argus of collector's guitars.
