Opinions on Ishibashi guitars necessary

[RayKnight]

I'd like to purchase this specific model on their website that is under the Used guitar. How well do they maintain the condition of the used guitar? I've heard their service as reliable and etc, but I wasn't really able to find any on the guitar condition.

 

[LadyInTears]

they list the condition already.
just read the descriptions.

They will send you more pictures of the guitar once you ask for it..

I didn't get to see it. The only show the model's name, manufacturer and prices. Other than the 2 pictures of the guitar that was shown, nothing was mentioned about the condition. Do enlighten me, have I missed out something or is there a separate section for specific guitar condition?

do email them and ask for specific pics/parts of the guitar you want, they can do that. can ask them about the cond. as well. sometimes the translated english on their web page is hard to understand what it means. best to email them and enquire...

anyone has any experience in ordering any guitar from them before?

 

[LadyInTears]

yup, i do, not juz guitars, pedals and stuff..

I think ordering online would be much easier than going to the stall itself because when i was in Tokyo, 9 out of 10 Japanese do not speak english at all. :\ makes me wonder why so many bands decide to go there. Lol.

i've bought 2 guitars from ishibashi. thou is used, but still in very good condition.

Thanks for all the responses so far, I e-mailed them and requested for some pictures and information on the guitar.

Okay, funny and not funny. But I rate Ishibashi's customer service with a +1. They e-mailed me back today (I've only enquired yesterday!) with detailed information on the item that I want. Although I have not decided to buy it or not and told them not to put the item on hold for me, I'd like to take this chance to say that potential Ishibashi customers should consider Ishibashi!

10000 yen for shipping 1 guitar. 18000 yen for 2 and so on.
For guitar that got hardcase it will be 12000 yen.

Than 7% GST for total price when come to SG.
Takes about 24hrs to reach you once they shipped it out.
Very fast.

Ishibashi has been very reliable to me, shipping both my guitars and pedals. Good communication and excellent packing makes me trust buying anything from them. And not to mention before the Yen grew strong, things there were generally much cheaper than getting them here.
