Is that actually an ebony board?  I thought they were usually rosewood on the Japanese Customs.

Simple answer is that I do not know - it looks like ebony to me too but it could be the light in the photo. Most had rosewood but some of the high-end models were ebony. We'll see when I get it !

Just tell the Mrs. it followed you home.

Sometimes guitars are just like puppies or kittens standing up against the glass.

So hard to resist.

Philly - yes it is in Japanese but...

I recently discovered something called

www.rinkya.com

Now you will find out where all the dealers get their stuff!

Fees are not cheap (about 12%) but they will also sort out shipping back to the UK for you.

Now you now my secret!

With luck you can get a nice Jap guitar landed to your door for less than you would pay a dealer before shipping and taxes....
