Did you check with any Japanese retailers directly? I recommend Ishibashi, either new or used. I don't know if they've a used CIJ Fiesta '57 reissue, but I should check.

Hi Orvilleowner: actually, I hadn't looked at that one before. Very interesting... Do I recall that you have imported direct from Japan, or am I misremembering?

Charlie Chandler is going the distance for me so I'm going to stick with him till he tells me otherwise. But if that happens then this is tempting, very tempting. Thanks so much - website duly bookmarked!

Cheers - C

Nice guitar kind of partial to that color myself... it reminds me of my school colors UNC Chapel Hill...

On a side note Orville there is a doubleneck custom shop Strat on Ebay right now... very pretty very pricey...

I have gotten three guitars direct from Ishibashi's U_Box (meaning "used") over the last 10 years. Yes, the first time was 1998! Give them your credit card number and get a guitar delivered to your door in three days just like any other internet retailers. At least, that's all it took for me, but I'm just across one ocean from them, not oceans and continents!

Oh, yeah, I see it. $8K asking price, huh?!?!? Wow.

The masterbuilder of mine was: Mr. Warmoth and me!

I don't like the gold hardware on that one, but I'm sure it's right up someone's alley! Go for it, guys!

Of course, a guy could buy 8 Road Worns for that price --- I don't think there are 8 different colors on the Road Worns, unfortunately.
