A guide for this piece: about $380, based on the 10% US charge on the declared value of goods made in Japan.
The final figure is set by US Customs and depends on where the piece was made and the kind of object it is. Many antiques over a century old carry no ordinary duty; most jewellery and leather goods add a single-digit rate.
With EMS, any charge is collected by your postal service on delivery. For pieces of significant value we can often arrange duties prepaid before dispatch.

An early PGM300 Paul Gilbert signature Ibanez from 2002, a basswood guitar with f-holes, a maple neck and a locking tremolo, with the cream ageing of its white body.
The Piece
Ibanez is the guitar brand of Hoshino Gakki of Nagoya, and since the late 1970s it has built its name on electric guitars made for virtuoso players.
The PGM300 is the Paul Gilbert signature Ibanez, a basswood body cut with f-holes on an RG outline and fitted with a maple neck and fingerboard and PAF Pro humbucking pickups. This one is from an early run and carries a locking tremolo that clamps the strings at the nut, so strings are changed by cutting them and holding them with a hex key.
It was bought new from a music shop, and the white body has since aged to a cream colour. There are some scratches on the back of the body and the frets are noticeably worn. It is shown with a gig bag and a carton for transport.
