    I think my guitar arrived:

    From the EMS site: Posted from Japan
    Jul 6
    1:58 Processing at delivery Post Office NAVAN IRELAND

    Jul 6
    12:00 Final delivery NAVAN IRELAND

    No one is home. I rang the local postie and they said they haven't received anything for me? What courier does EMS use when it gets to Ireland? There could be something in the door when I get home but that means I won't get my guitar for the weekend, waaaah.

    Sorted (pun). Rang the sorting office and he got in contact with the driver and confirmed that he has a large parcel for me. T minus 7 hours.

    Ooooh, very tasty, an exquisite choice, if I may say so. We'll be needing plenty of pics and a review of that one:)

    Congrats. Not a LP man myself either, but I know a few ex-Gibson guys who won't be buying one again after getting their first Edwards. Quality guitars.

    €710!! :eek: With the Duncan pickups I stuck on my Epi LP that works out cheaper! Feck. I can't help but feel slightly (and by slightly I mean unbelievably) pi$$ed off and jealous! Sweet axe my friend. Enjoy, and spare a thought for fools like me how insist on buying here still.

    You never know, it could be in more than 1 piece when I take it out of the box :eek:

    Isn't there someone you can call who can shake the box on your behalf and count how many pieces rattle? :D

    Jaysus thats sweet!

    Just had a quick wiff on the calculator there. Did you buy one of the ones that cost 77,280 or one that was more expensive? Just looking at the site now. I presume you paid around 18000JPY on shipping? If mine works out to be that price I might just get one like it...

    Or even a semi..

    mmm...:D

    Ah Jaysus thats loverley!!!

    I'm thinking of buying the P90 version of that guitar, it looks so sexy....mmmm P90 Custom!! :D:D:D


    Ishibashi???

    If it was ishibashi who you bought it off, it will be in one piece. you should have seen the amount of bubblewrap around my bass. it was ridiculous! its one case where you want it to be overkill.. :)

    Can I ask something about Ishibashi!

    Whats so great about ishibashi? Cheaper? And also do you just order from that like you would on thomann? Credit card etc.


    And also how do you find a english version of it? :(

    payments can be made by credit card. you email them about what you want and they reply with the total cost and provide a link for submitting credit card details.

    If you're buying from them please remember you will have to pay Import duty+Vat. Have fun!

    If you want to order, email web-shop@ishibashi.co.jp and Daisuke will reply with very good English and will describe the condition of the guitar if it's second hand. And believe me, if they says scratches can be seen if look ever so carefully, you will not see them!

    @ RHCP - Check out the tax calculator in the resources sticky as well. I still haven't decided what I want from ishibashi yet!

    They're ESP's Japan only brand. Better quality than ESPs apparently.

    Having owned an Edwards, I wouldn't say they're better than ESP. They're very good, but personally I would rate real ESP's higher.


    This is a good read on the different brands

    I always get confused with the ESP brands. I thought the quality went:

    Navigator - Edwards - ESP - LTD - Grassroots

    Spose there is the possiblity that I might be slightly wrong :p
