A guide for this piece: about $1,392, 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 1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop with mini-humbuckers and a hard case. Its substantial 4.50 kg weight and the smaller pickup format give collectors and players concrete details to consider alongside its appearance.
The Piece
This example is described with approximately half its fret life remaining and ample truss rod adjustment room. Green oxidation is present near the outer edge of the top. The written information gives conflicting descriptions of the case's originality, so only the inclusion of a hard case is confirmed here. Component originality is not independently guaranteed. The complete nine-image gallery should be reviewed before selecting this vintage instrument.
