A guide for this piece: about $1,276, 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.

A 2015 Gibson Custom Shop Historic Select 1959 Les Paul BB Cover Burst with a maple-and-mahogany body, mahogany neck and rosewood fingerboard. Custombucker and Custombucker-S pickups are specified for the instrument.
The Piece
The finish recreates the colour of the guitar featured on the Burst Believers cover; this is a recreation, not that original guitar. Recorded weight is 3.78 kg. Fading and wear are disclosed across the headstock, neck and body. Two conflicting scale measurements appear in the specifications, so neither is silently treated as definitive. The original case, certificate and selector cavity panel accompany the piece.
