Japanese eBay listings

I've bought countless guitars on yahoo auctions as has the original poster of this thread. And by my "europeans standards" your sweeping statements are really funny.

and the worst scenario are those that were refretted by a local Japanese luthier.

if you consider those oxidated greenish frets on the Navigator as "okay", our standards are so different that this discussion is completely pointless. It most likely has all the rest of the issues that you don't even notice.

yes I can see your high standards from the guitars you sell

Until your fretwork looks like this, you won't even understand anything

And they said you couldn't polish a turd. You said it yourself mate... pointless!

I think on this one in particular you polished so much, you wore it in, or maybe it was just shit to begin with.

Plenty of uk dealers are supplying MIJ guitars now.

eg: guitar.co.uk / badlandsguitars.co.uk / guitarvilliage.co.uk

My preferred source of used MIJ is whitstableguitars.co.uk
