税込販売価格 ￥72,450　 (本体価格￥69,000)

The above text says "72,450 yen with tax included (69,000 yen without tax)."

Then-what about 96,600?

The price you pay outside Japan would be 69,000 yen + shipping + any import duties your country charges you.

I tried to call the number on the first page, the person on the other end told me I had the wrong number.

I've called all the numbers on their site, but no one spoke english.

I sent an email to the address on the first page but have not had a reply yet, so I just sent it again to info@ikebe.co.jp

I hope I get a reply this time, this is getting frustrating.

I would have preferred talking to some one on the phone, but I will be happy as long as it happens.

Who would have thought buying a guitar could be so hard.

Tried info@ikebe.co.jp with no answer. So I just tried tsuji@ikebe.co.jp and am waiting for a reply...

I agree with Firedragon on this...

Tsuji will reply, he just takes like a week to respond for some reason. Theyre pretty lazy I guess.

I called the number again, this time I asked for Riyo Tsuji, I was told he was at work, I got the impression this was his home number.

I have just responded to the mail and now await the reply, but in the process have discovered a new issue.

These are both pics of the same model, colour TKF

In the second the body seems reddish but I like the black bridge, In the first I like the body colour, but I hate the chrome bridge. I would rather the first over the second but I really hate the chrome.

It's the same stain and hardware at different angles/lighting. If I recall it's cosmo black hardware, which is like a black chrome.

I hope your right but, understand my skepticism.

Those were pics of two different guitars at different stores.

The first two pics are of the first, the other pics are of the second, it always looks like chrome in the first and black chrome in the second and the stain seems red in the second.
