IMPORTANT — U.S. CUSTOMS DUTIES PREPAID: Since April 14, 2026, U.S.-bound shipments sent via Japan Post EMS require applicable U.S. import duties to be prepaid before shipment. The applicable customs duties and Zonos processing/clearance fees are already included in the shipping cost shown in this listing ( I PAY THAT UPFRONT) so the recipient should not be required to pay these duties again upon delivery.

The guitar is in very good condition considering its age . The frets appear to have about 80% life remaining and it’s very easy to play. The truss rod has room for adjustment in both directions . The neck is currently straight, so no adjustment is needed.

Please note: the 3rd photo is for reference only (how the guitar originally should look like). The actual guitar has been modified — the volume/tone knobs, pickguard, and pickup have been changed. However, all original parts are included (the original black pots knobs, pickguard, and pickups ), so the guitar is effectively 100% original. If you’d like, I can reinstall all original parts before shipping.

The finish has a more yellowish tint than usual. It appears that a previous owner may have applied some kind of product, which likely caused this aging effect, in addition to natural aging over time.

Other than that, the guitar sounds excellent and plays great. Being an E-serial model makes it especially desirable, as this period is widely considered a “golden era” for these guitars, known for their outstanding quality.

Don’t miss this opportunity.

The guitar will be carefully packed and shipped in a cardboard box. Case is not included, but I can provide a hard case for an additional cost if requested.

Thanks for looking!

please take in account that I accept return ONLY in the case the product is different from what is published, i expect the buyer to communicate smoothly and I am even willing to video call to show you the instrument so you can buy with confidence, so please make sure to know what are you buying, and do not hesitate to ask! i will answer with the best of my knowledge( sorry if i cant answer more technical question, i am not an expert).

there has been many cases in reverb where people buy out of an impulse of unreal expectations toward the instrument, and then regret buying and return the instrument, damaging the community trust, so please, lets communicate and make sure you know what are you buying, but rest asure all my instruments are in excellent conditions and are jus as published!
