found this place-

http://www.guitaremporium.co.uk/index.p ... uitars&a=4

not had a thorough check of the site as i'm at work, but it looks like they import all those fancy-dan mustangs and jags you can't get here or in the US (including the reissue ash body/maple neck 'stangs). all prices seem POA but maybe worth chucking an enquiry their way.

Didnt this site used to be called fenderjapan.co.uk or something similar?
Nice that they have the non-standard colours you dont normally get over here in the shops, some of their prices are a little steep, check out the Teles. They do however offer a jazzmaster with a B+B neck

Prices don't look too bad - looking at the teles, a double bound rosewood '62 Tele in LH is just a bit more than what it would cost to get it from Ishibashi directly...assuming you got stung on import tax.

These have been knocking about (under a slightly different name, as noted above) for a while now. Never had any dealings with them directly, but for what it's worth, the customer service (and delivery time) direct from Ishibashi are both great, and you'll save a few quid on these prices. In my previous dealings with Ishibashi they've answered my mails quickly and accurately, and been more than willing to compare neck sizes, weights of guitars, and take digital photos of various finishes etc.

I can't view their website though, I can never find the freaking Jaguars.

I've figured it out:

I lust after these JG66B's:

but for Â£609.50 it's just never, ever going to happen.

If you go through Ishibashi's U-Box used store, there's one for a shade over Â£500 (plus shipping though):

for that price it would be more worth it to pick up a beat to shit late sixties jag in a pawn shop, or off a crack head.
