    Which I take to mean he believes that this Guitar is of the same price in Europe or US.

      I meant to say that the guitar will cost you about 399 coins, and it does not matter if you have euro- or dollar coins. This shows that there is a price difference, if you take into account that the dollar is on an all-time-low against the euro. Conclusion: U.S. guitars are way too expensive here in Europe, when compared to the US dollar price.

    Netherlands: 399 euro http://www.maxguitarstore.com/store/index.php?productID=2133

    USA: 389 dollar
