Some lovely guitars on there but blimey, they're bloody expensive.
The main kicker is that they are very much online only. If you look in their FAQ section, they don't allow you to visit and play anything before you buy. When purchasing something running into the many thousands which a lot of their stock is would be an issue for many I'd assume. If you take the risk and you don't like it, they'll even let you pay the return postage too which is nice...
Ludicrous prices.
No movement on price when I asked about one.
Pal... you'll take in any Guitar you think you can flip and make money on... No problem with that at all, we've all done/do it on occasion (and profit margins will be necessitated to run a business), but ffs don't think folk were dug up yesterday and come out with nonsense like that.
And their prices are astonishing. I think I saw a 335 up for like £3.5k + the other day. Production run model. The whole "Yamano export" crap they milk until the cows come home. They're simply some nice examples that were exported to Japan of standard production models. Plenty nice examples remained for the US/EU market at the time. They weren't made any differently.
Don't fall for it!
I don't think it's amateur not to take credit cards ......they are a small business not a hotel chain and that is their choice .
Merchant services can be a real pain from the retailer point of view BUT a £3000 guitar is not easy to buy without credit card benefit for a lot of people so I would have thought they are shooting themselves in the foot
There is nothing particularly special about Japanese guitars.
I was in a record shop on the Isle of Wight in the summer. The shop also sold low cost guitars yet there was no facility to pay for anything other than by cash. The proprietor was repeatedly having to explain why and kept whinging on about the costs involved in accepting card payments. I did actually buy a couple of LPs (cheap enough) but I couldn't help but think how pisspoor it all was in this day and age. I could only imagine what it might be like buying a guitar in that shop and then later trying to get a problem resolved.
