Jackson Stars 7-String Does this Sound Correct?

Just headed to: ŒŸõŒ‹‰Ê

And found a 7 string soloist being sold at the price of: = 117,600 inc. Tax

Jackson StarsSL7-J2B Including tax selling price XXYEN 117,600 (substance price XXYEN 112,000) Product code 0000063831 price XXYEN 147,000 (including tax) handling store Shibuya store (03-3464-2750) Shibuya store /7 chord ソロイスト! !

I just converted it and it worked out at - 117,600.00 JPY = £487.08 GBP or $967.38 USD

For some reason I’m getting the impression that it can't be correct considering the woods its made out of, can anyone confirm the price of it for me? Or explain what I’m doing wrong cause that can’t surely be correct. Can it?

heres the page translated:


Even the symbol of Jackson Stars you can say, the one to unite ソロイスト of through neck structure to 7 chord specifications! With 7 chords it meaning that thickness is thin, it repels and also the thickness of the neck grip which is not avoided, good quality of feeling as expected is. Also the burden for the amount neck whose neck grip is thin is large, is, but by the scarf joint doing the head section and the neck, strength It raises durability and it can play in the neck condition which is stabilized! ! Of course with each position identical performance characteristic is made possible) adopts for the finger board, the conical finger board (the finger board earl with from nut 300 R finishing in finger board ended section 400 R. With the old 7 chord models it was the poplar body, but with the latest model by the fact that the Alder wing body is adopted, the sound which has the filter from the tension which is obtained with non tremolo of the reverse side sequence is produced. Be able to perform with the sound which in the pickup has of the middle limits the core strongly by jazz of the セイモア Don can and the fact that custom is loaded, the technical phrase and with sitting down such as normal Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, europe body form and heel cutting which utilizes the through neck in comparison with the other Supreme Headquarters Allied Powers, europe model, performance characteristic is the first seven ストリングス

That's correct, though you'd actually convert the 112,000 yen price, as you're not liable for Japanese tax. Also keep in mind that you'll have to pay shipping and import duties.

It would also probably be helpful for you to read the sticky thread on ordering from Ikebe

Very good point

But am I right in understanding this is basically made from the same materials as a USA select series? That usually costs like 3 or 4 times as much! ?

I have to be missing something here

i remember reading shipping is like 8%.. but thats still very cheap for a well made Jackson

Well, they're not *quite* to the level of the USA Selects, since the wood quality is probably more varied - especially the ebony for the board. However, they're still going to be excellent guitars - the 6s certainly are - and for your exchange rate, I'd say go after it.

Division - American metal that doesn't suck. Much. Even on MySpace, and Soundclick, too.

If its really that price then I think I will need to go grab a towel to wipe the drool away from my mouth!

Will have to look into this deeper and find out how I’m going to do it

Keep in mind that you can't just pull out the old credit card with Ikebe. You have to do a wire transfer from your bank. Probably a good thing from my standpoint, since it's helped keep me from having a "moment of weakness" over those SL7-J2Bs.
