I am in need of the studs and inserts for a Muller #10 bridge. The post is threaded (so is my bridge) and the bushing inserted into the body is unthreaded. I believe that’s the first generation of the S100 bridge. I’ve been looking online for a few days trying to find something that will work, with no luck. Any advice on where to look or who to ask is greatly appreciated!

Hello F44:876,

Welcome! May be able to help you out, but postage for sending small items has become quite expensive, so try to find the parts on your side of the 'big pond' first and if that doesn't work, get back with me.

Sincerely,

Thank you Hans! I'll see what I can find over here first.

This guy is a repair person (and LTG member) in CT, and might be able to assist:

Ohhh ok! Thanks for the info. Hopefully somebody has the goods, I'm FIENDING. I'll buy from anywhere if it gets my bridge up and running - but would prefer to work it out with an LTGer for peace of mind.

Shipping from Europe is now like $40 just to start because of some new regs separating mail form packages, but in some case well worth it.

I easily charge $20 for any parcel of value, USPS Priority always, so double that for an overseas trip really isn't a bad deal.

I just bought a guitar from the UK, this is rare for me, maybe even a 1st, but sometimes these things have to come back to the motherland ;]

The shipping was $208, which is high enough to cloud people's judgement about buying a guitar, but not mine, I charge damn dear that to ship around the lower 48, again Priority insured, all Reverb bells and whistles.

And then this, I paid $140 tax, to my state granted - and my they must be getting rich - but this is a relatively new thing, tax on everything, out of state, even out of country purchases.

Not such a bad thing, pays for roads, school buses, health care, but we won't go into that ;]

The legal obligation to pay the tax has been around pretty much as long as sales tax. What is new is that technology to collect it at point of sale rather than hoping an individual will report and pay it, usually on their income tax return.

I suppose many were troubled, knowing they weren't being charged for buying something, I however was not among them.

In fact, growing up, you could go to the state next door, pay less tax on a new truck, etc, so the understanding was that there was no tax on out of state purchases. Until a couple years ago now.

I should get a plaque for having sent the state this much money in a short time, it's undoubtedly in the thousands already.

At any rate, this is the new norm, just pay it and forget about it.

But, if a guitar ends up costing me $800 instead of $600 - a magic number for me - because of the associated shipping and tax, I will always try to get at least that much out of it, so it becomes part of the price of the guitar.

It's a virtuous cycle. Everytime someone pays $100 in tax they try to recoup that, and seller fees, by raising the price accordingly, so the item sells for more next time around - inflation notwithstanding - therefore generating a bigger tax revenue each time.

Mmmmm....

Current laws hold you liable for sales tax to be paid to the state where you register the vehicle. If you're lucky the seller will collect tax on your behalf and then pay it to your state. Difference between tax rates should result in a credit or a bill when you register the car.

For decades one of the perks of being in the military was that you could legally register your car in your "home" state and not where you were stationed. If your home state had no sales tax then you either paid none when buying a new car locally or eventually received a credit or refund on your income tax.
