Are Kinko etc not shipping international anymore then?

I'm after one of the Aztec JMs. One of the UK resellers has one but it's £1700.

Happy to buy from Japan if anybody is able to suggest the best route. PM if need be.

Ta.

The Aztec Gold ones were an Ishibashi FSR, and as far as I know, they never ship abroad new MIJ Fenders. But, honestly, for £1,700 I'd expect to get an AV65 instead of MIJ and even then it would feel a bit of a waste of money.

Nothing too sexy, but there are Oly White Jags with matching headstock at Shimamura.

Finally picked up one of the Sherwood Green Kinko FSR Jazzmasters after having my eye on them for a while. I had a 4-way rotary installed to add a series option as well as a mastery bridge and push/pull tone pot for out-of-phase. Super happy with how it came out!

Howd I miss this one!!

Great move with rotary, I use on most of my guitars. A couple have 6-ways adding series in/out of phase.
