Why do the Japanese get all the wacky cool shaped guitars???

[Daemoniac]

I totally want to order all of them, theyre so awesome, in that strange, possibly really hard to play kind of way. Interesting shapes though, to say the least.

EDIT: And that second one has fucking awesome fret access.

Also, sorry mods, this should be in the standard guitars section

 

[stuh84]

Because our male guitarists dont look like this

Yes, male

and also because they can goto ESP Office and tell them they want that shape

[sakeido]

Yes, male

MANA
So fucked up! I had a buddy in high school who was big into Visual Kei and had crazy dir en grey hair and owned a bunch of Malice Mizer CDs and everything

 

[Daemoniac]

Id buy one...

 

[stuh84]

Malice Mizer and Moi Dix Mois own, also Versailles (the second picture is Hizaki from them) are worth a listen too

But yeah, that is why

 

[twiztedchild]

I like MAXIUM THE HORMONE <--that is how the have there name and Dir En Grey

 

[Daemoniac]

I want to buy that first guitar... its so fucking rad...
It looks so much like a violin...

 

[Dead but Dreaming]

ESP has a fuckton of guitars they don't sell here, I wish they would make them available too! I love the designs.

Last time I checked the Japanese website they had a whole bunch of Strat-style ESP's as well.

 

[Dusty201087]

You can actually get those if you go to a licensed ESP Dealer (check the ESP website).

But expect to wait 3-4 months and pay a lot of cash lol.

 

[Daemoniac]

and pay a lot of cash lol.

 

[Dusty201087]

Haha well not custom cash, but to illustrate the difference the Eclipse-I FT is roughly about $1,800 from a dealer + wait time. So it's not like 4-5k or something

 

[Daemoniac]

oh. Well thats ok. Or it would be if i were in the US, so turn that 1,800 into something like $4000AUD and you're probably close

 

[Kagami]

Hizaki is HOTTTTT


anyway, ESP USA says that nobody in the US wants cool guitars.

 

[vampiregenocide]

Do want! They are so beautyful!

 

[CaptainD00M]

I knew the first one was a dude... but the second one i wouldnt have guessed had it not been mentioned.

Man... and people thought the New York Dolls were strange.

 

[hypermagic]

I gas for a sugizo cloud guitar like everyday.

 

[Elysian]

i haven't seen any cool shapes in this thread, whats up?

 

[Daemoniac]

Im seriously GASing for that first one...
