Hi all,
I'm on the hunt for an Ibanes JS1000 in sparkle black (like the photo below). If anyone knows of one for sale (preferably in the UK) then please give me a shout. I've seen a couple in the states for around £600 but I don't want to pay a load of shipping costs or imp[rt duties. Anyway Rob said there was not a floyd rose job anywhere in my collection and that I should put that right so I sold the Tele and the Ibanez Artcore that I had and I'm on the hunt!!

Farl to be honest I would go with either one from the States or Oz just now the exchange rate is so good it will cover the shipping . You will pay over the odds for it in UK as the Black Pearl is not currently part of UK ibanez range but they are still selling them overseas so more chance of picking one up.

I feared that may be the case. Is yours a JS1000 or 1200 Stew?? As far as I have heard and acording to all that I've read they are the Dogs Danglers!

THe BTB Burnt Transparent Blue is a 1000 which gives it Paf Pro in the neck just like what you are looking for where as the 1200 Candy Apple has Paf Joe. Don't think there is a huge differnce in these pickups so realistically it is preference of colour. IMO the PAf Pro in the neck is awesome. The DimArzio website has pickup choser where you can up about the minor differences. Other than that Farl if you are looking at a BP which is 2001 model it will have lo-pro trem rather than edge-pro which is subtley different.
Oh yes I confirm it is the Dogs Danglers!!! Not really played any other guitar in months.

heres another someone with good feedback too, the brand new one you posted should say edge pro not lo-pro!!but hey hell of a good price for new JS. you would pay over £900 easily in the UK if BP was available.

Yeah, I had a look at that one but.... I kinda think the other one looks better. The only problem is... I bought the Dean only a couple of months back but... ah what the heck, I may just go for it. I'll sleep on it and make a decission.

I just missed a black usa 52 tele (like pauls), I was running the kids back to their mums and it went for £665
I just dont understand why people buy one guitar after another :-| You have great taste in guitars Farl cant wait to hear some trem action from you. :thumb:
Nice aquisition Farl, I love the black sparkle, normally black is a bit dull but that looks the mutts nuts.
You'll be on a high when you see it Farl they are quite something in the flesh...photos don't do the Black Pearl finish justice. Another thing that will blow you away is the aerofoil shape of the guitar. I have never had a guitar that sits so comfortably as my JS. Ah there will be some Satch Boogie'ing when it arrives :smile:

all i can say is EBAY???
what's wrong with ebay?
If it's poor quality he'll send it back, it's all in the UK.
Its from USA Ini not Uk although it was done via ebay.co.uk search but he still has same return rights and it is a brand new guitar not private sale of a used guitar :thumb:

I doubt that though, it's first class brand new JS1000, should be mint.
Yeah should be good Ini it has subtle differences compared to the 2001 Black Pearl model ie edge pro not lo-pro and the nut is completely within the neck rather than having those silly holes in the back.
In fact I have a hankering for the BP model but I have to show restriant just now or I will be divorced.

That should be changed to read "Behind every guitar-nut there needs to be a very understanding woman"

Good news!! It'll arrive in the UK on the 16th!! I guess customs will be on after that to get their pound of flesh! Anyone know how that bit of the deal works??
Farl
You normally get a bill through the post at a later date unless the ebay seller was kind enough to mark it as a gift but that is maybe wishful thinking.
Yep, Stew has it spot-on there. It took about a week for mine to turn up.
This is what they document looks like. I've obliterated certain details for reasons of personal security.

Thanks Six but.... do you mean a week from when it hit customs or a week after you paid the bill?? Also, how long was it from the guitar arriving at customs to you actually getting the bill. If my new toy is going to arrive in the UK next week, how long do you guess it will be before I see it or, in other words, can you do me some form of time line please...
I can't quite read the bill but it looks like £39 for customs plus the standard 17.5% VAT. Is that right??

You have to pay for customs??? That's just a rip-off like everything else in Britain, just another scam from the government i guess!

Yep even if it is used, you pay the taxman. I think you even pay on gifts over a certain value.
Thing is on the 2 guitars I have imported from tokyo I only paid customs on one seems to be random.

The guitar was cleared for delivery by customs, I then recieved the guitar from DHL, approximately one week later I recieved the bill.
Customs cleared the guitar for delivery within 24 hours, it was then in my hands within 24 hours of clearance.
Yes, the customs charge was £39 plus standard VAT.
It took three days from leaving Scott at Vwallguitars to arriving at my house. Astonishing really. Things can take longer from one UK destination to another.
You are dead right there Phil I have bought 2 Boss Effects Pedals in the last month and were door to door in 3 days....really incredible service. I wonder why it is a country our size internal mail is so bad?
Thats cos our government is corrupt.
all goverments are corrupt!
some companies try to charge duty on shipping costs, be warned!
if they try tell them you are not going to pay it!

What a result!! The Parcelforce paperworks reads as follow:
Import duty = £0
Excise Duty = £0
VAT = £25.95
Parcelforce clearance fee = £13.50
Total to pay = £39.45!!
That means it was marked for customs purposes at a value of £148.30!! LOL what a result! and.... it should be delivered tomorrow!!!

It is going to be delivered to my workplace tomorrow Stew. Confirmed the delivery with Parcelforce earlier today and paid the (very low) duty!
As for the cover... er... December?? Maybe sooner, we'll see! Got to get to grips with a Floyd Rose first! LOL

It has arrived!! They delivered to my house not to where I work. Luckily.... Amanda was in so signed for it. I get an hour for luch and live just over 20mins away so I've just been to check it was all OK (and all there!) and it is pukka! Brand new, still in the box, and really nice. I guess (after reading loads of reports) that I'll spend a while tinkering and making adjustments but first impressions are that it looks spot on and felt very comfortable. I'm not used to guitars being that light though and it does feel physically small. Tonight, as luck would have it, I'm booked up for squash so by the time I get home and eat, it's gonna be at least 9pm before I get to play with it and attempt to sort out the action, intonation etc. Oh well, happy days ahead!
Photos later with a bit of luck although it may be better to wait for some decent light tomorrow.

hey farl if you need a hand to squash something I'm the man for that, looking forward to seeing a pic. :grin:
Well chuffed for you Farl.
One bit of advice for you, though it may be a bit late by now, don't spend too much time on setting up intonation and action etc. until it's had time to 'settle in', you see the change in humidity from USA to UK and having spent a few hours in the planes freezing cold 'hold' means that any adjustments made will just need making again in another week or so. It takes a while for the wood to adjust and find its equilibrium so to speak.
