Try this: http://www.glguitars.com/distributors/Finland.asp

When you get it, post pics.

Don't know about Finland, but at least in Norway, Sweden and Denmark there are companies (like jetcarrier.com) that "give" you a US address, and ships the items from that address to your home address in Scandinavia.

I have done it a few times when companies/merchants won't ship out of the US. I suppose you could just order a bass from one of the big US stores, and have it sent to your US "address".

If there's no such service in Finland, maybe you know someone in Umeå? Just a short ferry ride from your hometown.

FYI, I am not affiliated with Jet Carrier in any way.

Oh I see, I'll check that out. Thanks!

But do anyone know if Basscentral.com can make custom orders from G&L? couse they send to Europe if I'm not mistaken.

I believe even those of us in the U.S. need to do custom orders through a dealer.

Someday, when I do a custom order, it will be through Buffalo Bros. Guitars, in Carlsbad, California. http://www.buffalobrosguitars.com/index.html

Most importantly, tell us about this custom G&L you have in mind

I was thinking about an L-2000 with #8 neck, rosewood fretboard, dot inlays, neck binding. Then I'm not sure if I want flamed maple top or not. And then it's the color, I don't what color I would want. Likely Amber or Honeyburst. And last and not least, Lefthanded

FWIW, I have nothing but praise for my dealings with Matt from Guitar Man, and I'm in the Netherlands.

That's http://www.guitarmannyc.com/GuitarMan/Home.html
