I find myself often perusing Japanese guitar sites. Unfortunately, I can't read Japanese, so I look for the few English words, and numerical specs to sort of get a notion. I know I'm missing out on lots of cool stuff otherwide.
So, I need to learn Kanji, right?
Kanji is only one third of the written language, in addition to two syllabaries. In fact, the key word you are looking for in the description, "refinish," isn't even written in Kanji.
You will have a very hard time getting any Japanese shop to respond to an English language inquiry, let alone do business overseas.
