Cool custom Ibanez only available, to my knowledge in Japan.

How much is 83,000 yen anyhow?

PS - the new forum is the bomb!!!

Here's a currency convertor i use.

Ishibashi isn't a "custom shop"... they're just a big retailer that sells Japan-only models to people around the world.

Hey, they have BSB finishes in a regular RG. They also have an RG with a double stripe bubinga (?spelling?) neck.

I have bookmarked this one. The prices seem OK. Thanks for the conversion link.

This threads pretty old, do I win?

Christ! 7 years old! I thought the Swirled Straps thread was pushing it, but this one wins by far! LOL.

But yeah, Ishibahi is awesome. They have stupid prices on J Custom's in the U-Box occasionally. I was trying to buy an ESP Kamikaze from there a while back. I could have bought it and sold it here, easily doubling my money. Unfortunately it was gone already, that's the only problem, they don't update often enough.

Actually, this very old thread reminds me of something...how much does it cost to ship to the U.S. from Japan, on average?

damn i wanted to win....

This thread is older than my youngest guitar student, rofl!

Just increasing my post count here...there's no other use posting in this ridiculously lame and old thread...

16,000 yen or 135 dollars

Does that include import fees and things like that, or is that just the shipping rate?

I'm not sure. I never payed any import fees for my j custom. They might have been included or maybe I just got lucky and customs decided not to charge me.

I simply WTFed on this thread....

damn you guys playin' who can revive the oldest thread game?

Damn, seven years..........

10 yrs at this point
