I CAN'T find a guitar, now that I have cash in-hand.. I want this one! But, it seems Japan is my only option, can't find one in the U.S., (that's clean, or priced right).

I have bought about 10 guitars from Japan. I have never had to pay a customs fee. But it is a possibility. Shipping takes 7-10 days on average.

Correct
It's my understanding that the woodworking and painting is done at an ESP owned and operated factory in China. Complete assembly and finishing touches are done in Japan.
ESP oversees what goes on, on both accounts, and I've yet to see anything less than superb quality reviews.
Obviously, the price reflects these processes, and certainly doesn't effect my desire to own one. Still head and shoulders above "hand-crafted in China". I've owned a Wolfgang earlier run EVH, and 2 ESP's made in China that were all the biggest pieces of shit ever. Fretwork, painting, setups, electronics and flaws all apparent, and just hideous.

He's Dangerdog on MLP, and if you talk to him over there he'll kick you a discount. If he doesn't have what you're looking for he can find it. Nice guy.
