I guess I could earn a few bucks teaching English (aka just having "conversation lessons")...
I guess some people pay as much as 3000 yen an hour for private tutoring where you don't really use much teaching skills, just conversation with a native speaker..
I've found one prospective student, but I'm kind of a softie so I might just give free lessons..

Re: hard case for me

The Steve Man, if you are seriously interested in making some $$$, PM me.
I could probably give you some tips how to make $$$ while you are there.
No,it's has nothing to do with taking a roll in a porno video.

What the crap? Why don't we get cool stuff like this in America?!? Nooo, I have to buy an old RR7, but if I lived in Japan I could have had a neck thru King V? Hardly fair!

People in Osaka are taller. The shorter ones are mostly living in the rural areas (no idea why).

Re: hard case for me

Got a pic of my Jackson Stars custom in progress!! Body/neck are attached and she has frets and routes. Looks great, just needs a finish, hardware and electronics!
I don't know if I can/should post it here.. I kinda don't see why not, like if they were willing to share the pic with me then maybe they don't care if I show people?

What do you guys think?

[dinkyjacksonman]

Re: hard case for me

You should opena new thread and post the pic.
Will be better than here.

Re: hard case for me

If you look at an online store (like Ishibashi) or whatever, they seem to show you two sale prices. Without, and with tax.
Usually the "With tax" comes after without, and is in parentheses, or maybe in red too...
For a rough estimate just hack off the last two digits.. and it comes out to a few bucks less than what that estimate gives you.

Re: hard case for me

How does one acquire such a guitar?

And more importantly, how much do they cost in $ (or better yet euros?) I'm not exactly eloquent in the following language: '@#§!hlfè!ç§....'

Re: hard case for me

Considering how much you would spend for an import in U.S., I think these Japanese Jackson Stars are expensive unless you get 50% discount.
You will have to pay the shipping fee and many times they only come with gigbags.

If you can find something you really want, go for it.

About the language, try this site and just copy/paste the URLs.
