Hi Don,
Many thanks for your comment. Yes, I've seen it and it's a beauty isn't it. Maybe the two of them will meet up one day! Mine, JB100, is one of my favourite guitars. J's website is an Aladdin's Cave of information for anyone interested in his guitars.
Best wishes

Hello Yuji,
Many thanks for your message but this guitar is definitely not for sale.

How much is this commodity?
Can you buy it though it is Japanese?

The method in that case?

Thanks for your comment Espen - she is quite a special guitar for me. She plays as good as she looks - and even the string tree spacer and the truss rod adjuster nut are gold.

This is the most beautiful guitar I've ever seen

Hi Joe,
Thanks for your comment - this one's not for sale I'm afraid.
