I was gonna ask, why Japan? There's a gazzilion available here. Then I saw it. WOWZERS!!!! My kinda LP!
Give ya a dollar for it.:hank
The very end of his post says he is in Portugal.
very cool! Love that color, reminds me of my TH. I bought mine online and was nervous as hell too, but was SHOCKED at how lucky I was to get one that floored me! Online purchasing is a gamble because one cannot try before you buy. Enjoy the heck out of that thing.:hankthanks all!! muito obrigado ff ; )
didn't have time to reply yet cause i couldn't lay her away - it sounds so great it's ridiculous!!! never held a humbucker guitar in my hands that sounded so well. i just had the chance to crank my deluxe reverb and it never gave me chills like that before... had to stop now, cause i've got a feeling my ears are bleeding and my head makes WHOOM WHOOM in rythm with my heartbeat... john bonham 26" bass drum WHOOM... but hahaha so well worth it!!!!!
i started searching the web for a 58 and with the first click i landed on nico-nico guitars in tokyo. it was the first guitar on their homepage that caught my eyes... i started writing with the seller, asked him about some other models he had and let him compare them for me, did some research on the shop and yeah.... i was in touch with a handful of other sellers - also u.s. and europe of course - but i couldn't get this first lp i found out of my head. in the end i thought, screw it, there's a reason why i ran into it in the first place and pulled the trigger.... after some long nights and some cold sweat i'm so happy i did it!!!
cheers
