I'm looking for a good Tokai ES (120-175, or whatever the numbers are now) and have a really nice Edwards E-LP-130LTS/RE for trade. Here are specs and pictures: Made in Japan 100% Full Nitrocellulose Laquer Finish (No Poly undercoat like most Edwards LTS models) Long Neck Tenon Seymour Duncan...

SOLD! Thanks Andy.

As I mentioned above, I'm in dire need of an ES-335, and -- though I'd love to keep both guitars -- my bank account says otherwise, so the Edwards must go to pay for the 335. Trust me, if I could, I'd keep it.

I'm in Los Angeles, and bought the guitar about 3 months ago from Katana Guitars (Ebay). Thanks!

Pics below (hopefully):

Well I wrote Koichi and explained my issues (with photos). He wrote back immediately and apologized profusely. Ishibashi is paying for return shipping and the guitar is going back. Can't say enough about their customer service. Now I'm debating whether to order another one. I'm a little gun...

Photos sent -- thanks! Yep -- Ishibashi has always been great to deal with, and I know they'll do whatever they can to remedy the issue, I just want to go about it the right way.

I didn't get any photos before purchase -- which in hindsight was an error -- but they only had one ES130 available, and I was counting on their glowing reputation. I still very much recommend them, and don't want anybody to think I'm bashing Ishibashi -- I just want to find out the best way to...

Hey everybody, I've been lurking around the forum, getting some great info from everybody and finally ended up ordering an ES130 in sunburst from Ishibashi last week. Ishibashi has been incredible to deal with and I couldn't be happier with their service, but the guitar came yesterday and has...
