QUOTE(ciwi1166 @ Aug 6 2014, 10:49 PM) anybody here hv 1? how is it... I have FGN LP NCLS 20R bought from Japan through Ishibashi in Shinjuku..   No regrets at all... best built and very classic... better than those current weight relieved Gibson LP. FGN is worth than spending on those caplang guitars..  |

QUOTE(ciwi1166 @ Aug 9 2014, 09:52 PM) good to know that there r alot of good obscure guitar brands out there. at least can give chance to new aspiring guitarist that cannot afford the premium of gibson,esp,etc..........yet. FYI, Fujigen is not obscure brand... they are skilled luthiers who make the J. Custom Ibanez (Team J Craft) and those who made the Orville by Gibson, Fender Japan stuff...This is considered one of the best guitars better than current day Gibson at a cheaper price... |

QUOTE(ciwi1166 @ Aug 9 2014, 10:11 PM) hehe. of coz. 'obsucre' is not mean to be an insult, it's just that they hv less breakthrough worldwide. Their Gibson style models are above 5k but the quality speaks for itself, hence the price.  may be if you like them, try looking at http://www.ishibashi.co.jp/u_box/e/ They ship to Malaysia... add Yen 10k for shipping.... no custom duty... only sales tax 10% can get within a week... |

QUOTE(regiuseven @ Aug 9 2014, 10:20 PM) U bought from Ishibashi ? Direct courier to home or collect at some place ? I have bought 3 guitars from them so far.. all the BEST onesWhere to pay the sales tax ? Sorry am not a business person, not familiar with all those s--t You go to the link I gave, check for the guitar you like, send an inquiry with all details of you. They will send pictures, condition and total price, payment info You pay, they ship by EMS. you will get it here in 3 days @ airport. Keep tracking...... then once you see your item in MY, go to Poslaju hub in LCCT and go to the counter 1 with tracking no... then its all a matter of 10% sales tax only and you can take your barang within 30 mts from there If you ask poslaju to do, you endup spending more money..better you clear your self |

QUOTE(empire @ Aug 9 2014, 10:40 PM) you'd wanna buy a real USA Made Fender or Gibson cos you will be able to re-sell next time easily. No one is gonna run after you if you are selling your FGN. Buying a guitar is for playing... not for resale unless you are a buy n sell guy la.... think positive before buying... even if you go to jamtank, people bjbj to sell their fenders/gibsons/PRS...I myself struggle to sell off my Fender for last 3 months  |
