Title: I can't believe the seller is called "fun-japanproduct".

I mean, wouldn't Godzilla fall under that moniker, too?

This guitar is pretty in pink, purple, red, magenta, or whatever, especially with that hardware.  Maybe it's the pictures and some processing, but it looks like a seriously nice finish that plays off the hardware's condition and luster on this beauty, in my opinion.  I can't quite read the serial number on my laptop, though.  Sorry, y'all.

Lovely looking guitar and has been on ebay for a long time.

How much do you think that it is overpriced?

Some of these eBay sellers live near the music stores in Japan. They take pictures of the stores inventory. (In some cases, just copy the pictures from the original websites.) They add a markup and post on eBay.

When I see an instrument I really like, I start looking through inventories of the shops until I find the original post. It's not always possible. Some of the smaller stores may not have a website.
