unfortunately I am  . I really want a Republic I have read such good reviews and watched Sarah Rogo play and review on youTube, but although there are a few Republics here I am disappointed to say we do not have a UK distributor |

Remember that you will have to add import duty on the guitar price plus VAT on the total of the guitar price and shipping costs. Reckon in the region of 30% or more on the guitar price. ...and they quote £29.20 for shipping from Japan to the UK? Hmmm...seems cheap to me unless it gets stuck in Suez  |

If you can find an old Continental (preferably mahogany neck but the maple neck ones are nice too). The one I had was lovely* (newer maple neck one) - not quite Beltona/Fine reso levels but I thought it was nicer than the (new) NRP tricones I played and I think they can still be had for South of £1000.
*Washboard Chris thought it was a nice one too.
Disclaimer: I haven't played a vintage national tricone for any real comparison.
