I was looking at a blue finish 335Tokai on eBay with white pick up rings, knobs and pickgaurd for $645 and another blue semi with black parts for ony $500.

Hi all, new guy here! Hey I was wondering; if I wanted to collect Orville By Gibson and Orville guitars, would it be cheaper to collect them over there? I realize the cost of travel is prohibitive but the prices of Nippon guitars seems to be going up steadily. They're priced as high as used...
