Ive been looking at there site. Are those prices in Japan Yen. Has anyone actually bought a guitar from them. What is the payment procedure?

Cheers!

Yes, they're in Yen. Shipping is about €120 and you pay about 25% import duty and VAT. I believe a link is emailed to you to enter your credit card details. Doctor J ordered a bass from there.

Japanese guitars are excellent

I just bought this one of them the other day and it exactly as Feylya said, they also give you the tracking code for your order. Koichi the guy that deals with international orders is very helpful and obiously speaks english. What are you thinking of getting? You should check out their U-Box if you want to save a couple of quid, having said that its not very user friendly but I found an ex demo model in it and saved €100 on the list price. I just have to wait for mine to arrive now.

Hey man when you we're looking through the used box on there where do you see pics?? I was looking through last nite and couldn't get pics?

You got to search in Japanese to get the pictures, don't click the for overseas button just click the drop down menus beside it. I can't remember which ones are which but one has the manufacturer and another has the price range. Then what I did was copied and pasted the ones I was interested in and emailed them to find out about the condition they were in, the spec, and if they were still available.

Thanks man...

Doctor J · 28-01-2005 12:54pm

Daram got one from them too. They are a class act.

daram · 28-01-2005 3:15pm

They sure are. Cheap, good guitars and super quick delivery. Bought an aerodyne jazz bass from them, and a ashdown mag300 from music123 on the same day about three months ago. bass arrived in about 4 days and the followed about 3weeks later. although the amp was an unswitchable 110v so I had to order a new part from ashdown in the uk and install it myself. howanever, as of yesterday, it all works, and it all sounds great.

Doctor J · 28-01-2005 3:36pm

Do the Aerodynes live up to the hype? They look amazing.

Im looking to get a Yamaha sa2200 . Sweet guitar but its not much cheaper than musicstore.com.

Jonathanpbk · 31-01-2005 8:53am

after the price of the product, how much extra do you have to pay? for shipping, duty tax etc...

Doctor J · 31-01-2005 9:13am

Duty @ 4% & Vat @ 20%

daram · 31-01-2005 9:27am

Aerodyne seems like a sweet deal. Our bassist is thrilled. Although, if you saw his old bass.....

Jonathanpbk · 31-01-2005 9:58am

daram · 31-01-2005 10:00am
