Search for Jackson

Couple of neckthrough KVs for under a grand, including a "Jackson/GroverJackson" Custom (if you recall, Friedman had a Firebird with the Jackson/GroverJackson logo).

There's also a coupel of Soloists for decent prices, for those who like that sorta thing

Wow, the bolt-on KV w/binding is awesome. The Soloist w/rosewood is pretty sweet too.

The Dinky 1H is awesome. Looks just like a model 88. Wonder what it would be like to order from that site. Add another what $300 to the price like some of the other import sites.

Depends on the conversion rate.
Highlight the lower price (the one in red is the Japan price with the tax) and convert it here:

The White KV2 is $664.459

The KV Custom is $886.700

The bolt-on KV is $442.223

Figure $140-$150 shipping to the USA (due to the size), and you're getting a great deal on the neckthroughs. The bolt-on is basically a Floyded KVX10D, so $600 might not seem like that much of a deal. However, compare that to actually being able to find a Floyded KVX10D in that color, and you see that the price is fair.

Cool, I was just looking at their U-Box yesterday (or the day before?) and now there's two more KVs.

Somehow I believe I read that the those items are not available outside Japan... is that true?

Well, seems like it changed to "Contact Us". I think I'll be having a much closer look on the U-Box from now instead of just any other month for shit's 'n giggles...
