I've seen them go for everything from 350 GBP and up, a drag for a student that makes that much money a month. :P
Well that UK plug won't be any problem, got a converter (or what it's called), so I guess I'll just have to find the cheapest flight to LA now.
Such a shame, they are nice instruments. But I guess all material things have to fall apart at some point, just sad that they always seem to break when one's living.
