ESP™ The Samurai – KYOMOTO SPECIAL

This guitar is so cool! Though it probably weighs more than a normal guitar should and would be a burden to play because of it’s size and irregular shaped neck.

It stays true to its name – It’s got a real samurai!

This nifty guitar has an elegant hardcase too!

Of course, the strap goes along with the samurai theme.

Oh, did I forget to mention that it’s not for sale? Even if it was, it would cost half your body and a pinky finger.

Kei’s custom ESP™ guitar

Kei is the guitarist of the band visual-kei band Kannivalism. I have not yet heard him play yet, but he’s on of those with a cool-shaped guitar.

Syu’s Custom Edwards™ V

A white V-shaped Edwards. Not exactly the color I expect Syu to use, but it’s still a great guitar!

Syu’s Gundam Guitar

This is probably one of those “workable props” for their band. Animetal Custom guitars really kick ass!

Now THIS is a real “AXE” guitar!

More info can be found at Syu’s Equipment

Syu’s custom ESP™ Explorer

Another of my favorite guitarist, SYU from the Band Animetal, Aushvitz and Galneryus. Syu’s style focuses on speed combining powerful Legato and picking.

This is the same guitar except for the disarmed pick guard

ELECOM M-DY2URDR

M-DY2URDR is also available in assorted yummy colors

This is a smaller version of ELECOM’S ELECOM M-D7UR with the same assortment of colors. It’s costs less too but offers the same features. Great for laptops!

It still incorporates the wireless technology and compact storage of the usb link device.

ESP™ Snapper-S – Ohmura Special

Still glittering but now in gold! I don’t like this one much but still it’s one of the high end guitars out there since it’s customized like all of T-Ohmura’s guitars, having their fretboards scraped though only half of Yngwie’s customized Fender™ Stratocaster.

ESP™ SNAPPER – OHMURA SPECIAL

Another one of T-Ohmura’s customized guitars. Somehow he fancies all those glitters on the paint job of his guitars. So far, his Cherry Red esp™ is still the best of all his guitars in my opinion.
