A guide for this piece: about $1,171, 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.

Condition
Historically unused, without an individual letter grade or fresh function test. The reflective finish shows lighting and surrounding colours; it is not solid-gold construction or a newly certified mark-free surface. The pictured case and documents require matching, and standard model dimensions are not new measurements of this individual instrument. See Japanese condition ranks.
Authenticity & Care
A qualified luthier should inspect the neck, fretwork, hardware, electronics and any repaired or cracked areas before regular playing. Keep the guitar supported in its fitted case, away from abrupt heat or humidity changes. Avoid abrasive polish, especially on mirror finishes and plated parts. Setup measurements change with strings and environment.
