Apparently, you can get the JM, Mustang, and Jag via eBay (some priced slightly higher with free shipping, some priced lower with $120.00 shipping).

Based on comments in another thread, I have an email into Ishibashi to see if either the Mustang or the Jaguar are available to be shipped to the US.
If they won't ship them directly, just use fromjapan.co.jp. They charge a $3 fee plus shipping (they have corporate-rate DHL and FedEx, which is cheaper than private seller shipping). They pack well and I've bought a ton of stuff through them including guitars. Easy as pie. They even have a blog post detailing how to order guitars through their service:

You can order from any Japanese store with FJ.

So, it looks like ~$1,350 shipped is the going rate on ebay for both the Mustang and the Jaguar.

Prices seemed a bit higher on FromJapan.

Does that sound about right?

FromJapan is just a proxy service (they do not sell any items), the prices are from the Japanese stores in yen (Ishibashi, Ikebe-Gakki, etc.). For example, if you want this 2021 LE black Jag:

https://www.ishibashi.co.jp/ec/product/0bb0gpowg-8784

It is 113,500 yen, which is $1035 USD at today's rates. The shipping will be another $150-$200 (for DHL -- EMS will be closer to $100), so you're looking at around $1150-$1250 total if you buy it through FromJapan's service. You can pay with a credit card and you don't have to pay any extra paypal fees.

The ebay prices are $100-$200 more because they add in ebay fees and a small profit to the purchase price.

OK, now I see that a number of affiliated sites offer these within the core From Japan search function. I'm not sure how I missed it the first time, but it's pretty cool...thanks!
