bought from ishibashi before. delayed by 3 weeks (factory problem, not ishibashi), but other then that everything is good.
the most impt thing to ask is return warranty. if your axe arrives fked up, will the company take responsibilty? i tried to order a guitar from a american shop, but the owner told me there will be no returns for international customers. basically, i pay and hope my guitar comes in 1 piece.
