Got another MIJ Epi LP on the way.
Last tracking info is "Inbound into customs" on 05/25/13.
What a PITA.
Looking forward to this one.

Congrats, dude. Curious: where in Japan do you order the guitars from? Lots of JDM guitars that I like.

Many times from Ishibashi, Katana, and Ebay.
This time from James at http://www.tokyoguitarsafari.com/ (Also Meestursparkle on ebay, I believe.)

How do they get stuck in customs? I bought an amp from a dude in Slovakia once, and the day it arrived at US Customs, I took the paperwork down there, cleared customs, and picked it up from the carrier. Just curious.

It's in Chicago, was delivered EMS express mail.
It's up to the USPS to get it to Cincinnati.

Ah, makes sense. I got lucky by living close to customs and was able to spring it myself. Never thought about how hard that would have been otherwise. Hope you get it soon. Killer looking guitar.

Very cool... I didnt know that the MIJ Epi's had the Gibson headstock. I get why the Epi's in the US have the different headstock to differentiate them from the Gibsons, but I never liked the looks and is one of the reasons Ive never considered an Epi LP.
