Pics first because you’re gonna wanna see this:
Never thought I’d be typing up an NGD for one of these, but here goes. Managed to find a 1/10 Katakana a few months back in Finland and after some back and forth with the buyer he agreed to let me pay for it gradually as I sold off some guitars. I let the KKV and the LIM go to fund this, and had it dropped off at a friend of mine who was local to the buyer over the holidays.
It arrived at my place last week, and I’ve been playing it as much as I can, and comparing it to my 2022 CS arrowhead and 2007 SV-1 NT.
In short it’s an incredible guitar. We all know by now how good these are and this one is no exception. Neck is beefier than my custom shop but not thick at all. It plays itself.
The Katakana model was originally conceived as as a collaboration between Alexi and Musamaailma and a run of 10 Standards was ordered. Alexi’s one and only Katakana was from this run and he played it until his passing.
What makes this model unique as opposed to following runs is that the boost is a Finnish designed and built copy of the Jackson JE-1000 boost, and that it features the old cutaway prior to the deeper scoop added from Pinky onwards. It also doesn’t have a belly cut nor the COBHC logo on the rear that the following models would have. Logo placement is slightly different and the two tone truss rod cover is also unique to this model.
I’m super stoked to have this. Been going through a lot of Bodom leads recently and having about as much fun as you possibly can on the guitar. This rules.

It's the Bodom Bar, not coincidentally
