| ■ About Us |
|
Owner Masaaki Shimasue, has been in the guitar business since 1986 and has extensive knowledge in both vintage and luthier made guitars. He opened Blue-G in Tokyo in 1997, and the shop has quickly become the leading boutique guitar shop for acoustic guitars. A new and larger store opened in 2003 in the middle of Ochanomizue, Tokyo's busy music district.
The shop is known for its fine collection of vintage Martin, Gibson, Larson Bros., etc. The shop also employs a full time repair person, and all of our guitars are adjusted to the best possible condition.
We are also known for our collection of fine luthier made guitars from the U.S., Canada, Germany and South Africa. We represent the following fine luthiers: |
|
| U.S. |
Julius Borges, Merrill & Co., Kim Walker, Taku Sakashta, Roy McAlister, Ed Claxton, Michi Matsuda, Kent Hamblin, Mike Baranik, Steve Kovacik, |
| Canada |

We always have a wide selection of these fine luthiers' guitars, and other hard to find luthier guitars. We can also custom order from these luthiers, to build your dream guitar! We are in the “Golden Age of guitar building” and are proud to represent these fine luthiers in Japan.
We invite you to stop by, and see for yourself what makes our shop and guitars so special! |

| ■ Purchasing from abroad |
|
We have many customers abroad (US, Canada, France, Australia, Singapore), and we receive inquires from abroad daily. If you have questions on the condition and specs of a guitar, please send us your e-mail in English. Our staff at the store cannot speak English, but we will reply within 2-3 days via-email. We do not accept credit cards from abroad. If you are interested in purchasing a guitar from us, we will ask you to wire transfer the money to our account, and we will ship the guitar as soon as money is received. We can ship the guitar insured via EMS, or other shippers such as UPS and Fedex. The shipping & insurance charge to US is about $250-$350 depending on a value of the guitar. Please inquire regarding shipping charges. |
