I would say no for overseas shipping in of guitar. The only exception is probably Ishibashi.

in the first place i dont think musicians friend will ship here.

but if you're in the states, yes its safe to get from them.
i've gotten stuff from them when i studied there.
musicians friend are actually the online counterpart to the famous guitar center, both are owned by the same company.

kahuna: if u wanna get ESP/LTD guitars, why not try Davis? They can help u order + its alot safer.. all u need to do is - pay deposit :wink:

P/S: they are nice people imo, regardless of what had been posted of them in other thread.

Their website do offer a english translated version.

Although I have not bought from Ishibashi before, I had enquired them on the shipping cost for a guitar and its 12,000 yen. No tax levied from Japan but I believe theres a 5% GST charge from Singapore.

If you see a guitar u fancy, just email them to make the order. Can make payment by credit card or bankwire.
