A guide for this piece: about $1,160, 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 black Gretsch 6128 Duo Jet dated circa 1958, with Dynasonic pickups and thumbnail-style position markers. The combination is identified as a transitional late-1950s configuration.
The Piece
The dating is based on the recorded number on the back panel; the cavity label is missing, so that limitation is disclosed. Refretting has been carried out and the tailpiece is bent. Those details matter as much as the appealing black finish and distinctive pickup presentation. The recorded 625 mm scale and 43 mm nut width provide practical reference points for a player. A hard case accompanies the instrument.
