Model S-100 where the unique style that seemed to destroy some SG is impressive is the arrival!
There is some usability generally, and ?? is on the head tip.
In addition, a color is burnt and is hard to understand a head with the photograph, but it becomes the color that is near to dark brown.
I keep a clean state without a big wound other than it!
It is recommended one of them for the collector for the player!

Love the results of letting first year foreign language students translate the text!

The price in Japanese currency is 98800 which is about 1221 in greenbacks. A bit on a higher side but hey, that's the deal with all vintage US-made guitars. Although it is much better than the original price tag of ~$1495 (122000 yens).

Oh and it's sold out. Just noticed that written at the bottom of the advert. So the chances of it still being in Land of the rising sun are 50/50.

^^^^ Cheers, Kent.

I asked a few questions & got a reply which seems to be in some scrambled code which I can't even seem to copy here here as I get an error. Maybe because I am not actually reading via Outlook but directly from the webmail server.

:?

It was on sale last June and sold out then - that what's written on the site:

"Sale from 6/16/11 12:00 AM to 6/30/11 11:59 PM (Japan time)

This item is sold out"

I guess everybody saw past that and was thinking about the early reish with HB1s and a cool early serial number :)

Nah, I saw that...I was just hoping the deal had fallen through!

:lol: This reminds me of how GAD in order to justify LTGers' zeal in finding and buying S-100s with HB1s assumed that they were laced with crack cocaine. I think for every S-100 owner/owner-to-be the search for S-100 is like a search for the Holy Grail.
