    Try contact these guys:

    http://www.westsidedistribution.com/index.php?option=com_rsform&Itemid=12

    They are the offical distributor for them in Ireland/UK. If you ask them who does them in Ireland or at least who one of their dealers are in Ireland then you should be able to get one here.

    I bought a factory second schecter Hellraiser off ebay and its loverly.

    The only reason its a factory second is that they went a bit heavy with the polisher on a tiny part of the headstock.

    It was way cheaper than Billy Hydes here in melbourne and I can only imagine what you would pay from a dealer in Ireland.

    Give it a look. I came set up beautifully.

    The only problem I have with buyin from America on ebay is the amount of tax I would have to pay on it when it comes over. Would it be worth it? Ages ago There was a load of factory 2nd schecters on ebay, including the one I want but there's hardly any now.

    Think i got that one :p

    I dunno about Ireland but in OZ I didnt have to pay any duty because it came in under $1,000 which is where they start charging it.

    Yeah I've seen a few in FSV but it's on the top of William st is it not?

    I got my C7 Helraiser from eBay of a guy in the UK. It's still my main guitar after getting an Ibanez and having a few Jacksons too. Lovely instrument for a very good price.
    If you get a guitar from the US you will have to pay customs on it. I just got a guitar shipped from the US and I had to pay €140 when it came into the country, you won't have to pay this if you buy within the EU but then you have less options. The dollar is so weak at the moment you can get a guitar from the US and it will still be cheaper after shipping and customs are paid on it.

    Got my C7 Hellraiser off eBay - http://stores.shop.ebay.ie/STRINGS-AND-THINGS-GUITAR-WHOLESALE__W0QQ_armrsZ1

    Great price and free shipping. I was lucky enough not to get charged customs on it but, as always, no guarantees there.
