How to buy a Kurokomo?

[halfpast]

Are there vendors online? Seems like I've looked all over and can't find anything...well, at least anything that's in english

Here's Kurokumo's email address, you can try and see if they'll answer inquiries in english: info@kurokumo.co.jp

Thanks! I'll give it a shot.

i think they might not answer that email. The Kurokumos are hard to find outside of Japan and I think the best chance is if you know someone in Japan.
I recently got a Kurokumo Super Excellent through a friend of mine and plan to buy a couple more at which point I may have one for sale, if I do decide to sell any I will come to this forum first before ebay or such.

There is a site called Jauce, sort of like a Japanese only ebay, I found this out from the Les Paul forum when everyone wanted to get Japanese Les Pauls. It's an auction site, you need to pay in to have credit on your account and then you can bid and buy. Good prices too.

Let us know if they do answer - I got GAS for a Royal 63!

Hydra, they never responded

Keep me posted on your potential sale - maybe we can work something out...

I imagine after the lawsuit Kurokumo is more careful about selling them. There was an excellent on Reverb.com a month ago, and there's a Super Custom on ebay -

It could be a month or two before I decide to sell one of my Mosrites, but I can definately look you up before I decide to post it on the forum.

Good luck with your search, they're out there and they're excellent guitars!
