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.

This nifty guitar has an elegant hardcase too!

Of course, the strap goes along with the [...]

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.
