Thanks for the replies. I only asked because the email address I got back from Ishibashi looked a little strange.

"$B3t<02q<R(B $B@P663Z4o(B $BE9(B WEBSHOP" <[email protected]>

 

[marcusnieman]

It doesn't look like your translator decrypted it.

Ask them about this guy.They will be glad knowing is this is a scam as they name is regarded and would not like to loose the fame they won....

 

[Rustyslide]

Badger, do you have a Japanese font on your computer? if not, then their e-mails' "From" field will look like that. It's Japanese characters followed by "WEB SHOP".

I have dealt with Ishibashi for about a year. They do indeed take credit cards for both new and used items. I have always dealt with japanese individuals - never any english / anglo / american folks, though. They communicate well, ship promptly - they are great to me. I have had one guitar damaged in shipping. Now, I always request that the item be packed well, and that the headstock and bottom of the guitar be extra protected. A curious note regarding credit cards - Ishibashi may not post the charge to your credit card for up to 6 weeks ??? I think that is a currency exchange strategy. Hope this helps.

 

[Badger]

I think the strange email characters were down to language packs not being installed. Thanks for the help everyone it's been useful.

 

[andersthode]

So badger, have you bought and recieved your guitar? I'm just curious cause I'm currently dealing with David Numrich, and it would be nice to know if he is for real or a scam...

 

[whitehall]

Sure, Ive used plastic with them since they started taking it a while back. Don't know that guy though. They are just slammed busy all the time these days.

 

[tudor]

I tried so often to come in contact with them - NO response !!! :roll: :evil:

I ' ve got no clue what to do instead - since 6 weeks I keep on trying ... nothing!!
