Great thread and info here that helped me a lot while shopping around. I haven't pulled the trigger on anything but I haven't made any dire mistakes either!

I take it currypowder and zombywoof are our resident experts on MIJ models and importing them. Very cool.

I would never consider myself an expert, but Zomby and I have a lot of experience, among many others.

What CP said....
There are many here from whom we've learned as well.

Experts rarely consider themselves to be experts, but when they do proclaim so, it usually results in contention.

Hello, i am on thr mkt for a MIJ LP and strat, probably a Greco custom and maybe a tokai springy, but i have a couple of questions for you guys:

1) is it safe/ok to buy them on ebay from Japanese sellers if they put free shipment to Europe let say. I know i would have to pay like 25% customs on declared value. Any advice on those?

2) Is there a better place to get more choice, local website like yahoo auctions?? What is the place to be, webpage to use right now?

Thanks a lot for your help, i really want a 70s Les paul custom as i always wanted one since the 90s

fromjapan or zenmarket are the two I prefer but I'm in the US.

Fromjapan is very good choice for Germany, too.
Works easy and safe. You can buy from any japanese shop (digimart is a very good platform where shops sell, also rakuten jp) or have them bid for you at yahoo jp.

I don't have a lot of experience with the Cool Z brand, but the little I have has been very positive. They are a price step below History, but still made in Japan at Fujigen.

My guess is that this guitar is a great buy for around $450 or less all in.

You can hardly go wrong with this for barely over $400.

I bought it. With shipping it was just over $600. I'll post some pics and some impressions of the guitar this weekend!
