Killer Guitars - Where can I find one?

Does anyone know of a company/individual importing "Killer Guitars" into the US from Japan? I am a big Akira Takasaki (of Loudness) fan, so I've had a bit of a hankering for one. I've searched high and low with no luck...

Killer aren't made by ESP, they are made by guys who come from the same school of building as ESP and are distributed by ESP.

Killer are awesome guitars in every way. They had a brief run in the USA in 19888-91 when ESP owned the awesome shop Sunset Guitars in LA. Still the best guitar shop I have ever been to. Sad it's gone , there will never be another.

I've always wanted one when I first saw one back in 1990. Still want one today but they seem hard to find. Most of the dealers are in Japan.

Any clue where the prime and exploder made in? Can't find any pictures of the back of the head stock.
