I'd buy from Ishibashi, but I'm too much of a div to work their site.

Damn it. My wife is always on at me to get a pink guitar, and now I can't get this out of my mind. HNGD





Do it - Ishibashi still have stock....





I know. I've checked already!

Any chance of a link? I tried to find it but couldn't. Re. Plasticky finish I had a pink paisley Strat a 2004 model and that's how I would describe the finish of the body certainly.

Then neavigate to Electric Guitars > Fender Japan > Telecaster

Only use the text link, otherwise it doesn't work

click through the pages until you find the pink paisley They have a really good selection of guitars!

Can you actually buy direct from  their website/web shop now?

When I bought things from Ishibashi a few years ago you had to arrange it all by a series of emails then they'd send you a link to make the payment.

Teetonetal

@Philly_Q 

No, it still the same, you find the product code, email them with it and your address, they give you the price - sales tax and a link for the payment. Once done you email them back a couple of details so they can link the pay.

then they send out the item without the postcode and town. and Re-ship it a few days later

All in all, easy and works fairly well!

Looking at the prices on ishibashi was a mistake.

I like them but I think it would look better if the paisley pattern went right the way up to the neck pup hole.

I guess they don't because of the way they route it... not sure if the Crooks guitars do it though..?

Where do they send the guitar from?  Japan I take it as opposed to a warehouse in the EU?

Just want to work out how much it costs with tax and duty.

How much is shipping? 

jeztone2

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought Ishibashi were not allowed to ship new Fender Japan stuff anymore? I thought this had been the case since 2008?

I thought it was just U-Box that they shipped?

Not having a go, just genuinely suprised.

Lovely guitar by the way

Teetonetal

Hmm I don't know. Maybe being in Switzerland and therefore out side of the eu makes a difference?

jeztone2

Ahhh yeah I bet it does.

Well I'm sure @meltedbuzzbox bought a new jap Jazzmaster from them. In fact, I've played it!!

Why couldn't you buy a new guitar from one country and personally import it to another. I'm not aware that jap guitars are made from banned 'tone woods' - so why do you think it's not possible?

i am pretty sure that IshiBashi can't export MIJ guitars to the USA, I seem to recall seeing it either on their webiste or on one of the emails they sent me. I would think that this is an agreement with Fender rather than actual trade law.

I am pretty sure the guys on OSG order from Ishibashi and deliver to USA

My best mate is currently living in Japan. I wonder if he could send me a guitar as a gift? Or I would I still be subject to the duties?
