ESP KH-2 White Zombie
My new guitars have finally arrived! The first two of their kind. I went ahead and doubled down lol. Thanks Jason at DCGL, and Dave R. for making this possible.
Some pics of my White Zombie when it arrived at ESP in Cali.

A lot of it is paying the artist's wages to take him off other projects/artist guitars. It's not a guitar that is mass produced with decals. I felt the burden as well with my custom painted KH-3 spider. But in the end I think it was worth the cost for me. Looks a lot better.

Some people actually do that. Travel abroad to purchase high end guitars. I can't say that it is a common occurrence but it is nothing new.

Madtown. I grew up around Chicago but went to school at UM Ann Arbor. I once muled a Les Paul overseas on a flight in 2005. Back then it was no big deal, they let me take it carry on and had no issues with customs. No questions asked.

I called up a the dealer that is not far from where I live which is in Melbourne, Australia. Looking on websites from where you live (I believe it was GB) is a bit different. But that's what I was told, $25,000

If you really want it then try another dealer in Australia. It's under $20k including gst on an Australian dealers website. $25k sounds like another 5k Markup on top of what you can get it for.
Yes I'm in GB but that doesn't change the price I'm telling you that you can see. It's the same price and includes all Aussie taxes.

Eh? The guitar costs the same in Japan regardless of where it's going, I can only imagine the difference would have to come from regional import costs (which would mean you US folks pay very little) or the dealer is making a bigger cut?
€17000 is over US$20000
That's pretty sweet!
