When looking at the listings, your price would be the lowest price listed. Shipping is typically in the ballpark of $150 to the US. Import duty to the US is ~8% of purchase price before shipping, though I've been told you don't get nailed for import duties from Ikebe for some reason.

It shouldn't really be a big deal... I've never done it with Ikebe but I have done wire transfers. Basically they'll give you an account number. You then call your bank and tell them you want to do a wire transfer, give them the info, and that's it.

For Ikebe ship times and stuff like that you'll have to ask someone else

If you do this also keep in mind (assuming you're in the US) that you'll have a customs fee that you'll have to pay when the guitar is delivered. I believe it was 8% but don't remember for sure.

I already repped you for it.

Just a side note, if you have questions about it talk to Mark 7, he has bought a few 7's from them and will give you plenty of info about his experience.

I bought my 7-string from Ikebe Gakki and it was quick and easy. It took a week from my transfering the money to actually receiving the guitar - that's very quick, considering the time difference, shipping from Japan, customs clearing etc..

Great service and great correspondance with Riyo - Ikebe Gakki comes highly recommended!

Cheers

Eske

Awesome, Eske. That's very fast shipping, I was expecting it would take a little longer than that. Cool.

I miss Japan and I want to go back there, they have some very nice guitars over there and Ikebe Gakki has all the top of the line Ibanez models.
