$2000 NZ = $1559.40 US?
Really
Currency exchange isn't the only thing that determines the value of products. Products in general are more expensive in NZ than USA (hence why i bought mine from the US to begin with)
It's still cheaper than in the NZ music stores, if you factor in $150 USD I paid for the case as well (which comes free). Licensed Floyd Rose replaced for an OFR, standard die cast tuners replaced with Gotoh tuners, I think it comes to a fair price (FOR NEW ZEALAND RESIDENTS). (Plus add in fan boyness to buy it )
