So why is this?
Low Volume Guitar Imports
Cambodia doesn’t import as many guitars as other countries, meaning it gets expensive for shops to cover the cost, so they have a smaller collection of guitars at higher prices
Other countries like Thailand or the USA can import a bigger quantity and sell the guitars for a cheaper price.
Cross Country Imports
Some shops in Cambodia buy from other shops in Vietnam and Thailand. This means that there are many middle men involved, and the price is higher.
Alsol, these products are not authorized for resell in Cambodia and have no warranty or are display products.
What does this mean for you as a consumer?
I’m afraid it’s bad news.
– No warranty cover or authorized repair service.
– Sometimes Defective products.
– Very often sold among fake guitars.
– No user manuals in most cases.
– Low stock, meaning you end up buying display models at the full price.
– No refunds.
Consumer Tip!
You should make sure to always buy a guitar by authorized dealers.
Well, you simply check their credentials, make sure they offer a warranty, the instrument is an original and you have a user manual.
Cambodia Credit
Cambodian companies don't pass credit checks from US or Japan, factories won't lend to Cambodia because of its Credit Rating. When shops in Cambodia buy branded guitars (like Fender, Aria, Gibson, Epiphone and Ibanez), they have to pay for 100% of the guitar up front.
Stores in Cambodia have to import goods by paying full price upfront, and paying high import taxes (17.7% of value). It's tough to keep prices low.
