○ About this instrument
The story
A carefully selected piece from our Tokyo workshop — set up, intonated, and inspected before listing.
Sourced through our network of long-standing Japanese consignors and music shops. We string up every guitar, plug in every amp, and run every keyboard through a full diagnostic before a listing goes live. If a control is scratchy, a fret is high, or a tube is microphonic, we say so — and we price accordingly.
Tone is subjective; honesty is not. If our description does not match what you receive, we make it right.

○ FAQ
- Has the instrument been set up?
- Yes — every guitar/bass leaves with a fresh setup, fresh strings, and intonation checked. Keys and amps are bench tested.
- Can I request a sound clip or video?
- Absolutely. Message us with what you'd like to hear and we'll record it within 1–2 business days.
- Are MIJ models different from US/EU equivalents?
- Often, yes — different woods, hardware, or pickups. The specifications table above reflects the exact item; we don't generalise.
- Is the voltage compatible with my country?
- Japan is 100V. We will note voltage on every electronic listing — most modern gear is multi-voltage; vintage gear often is not.
