Simple but effective in black. This is better than his other custom guitars with pinstripes. This looks more refined and projects character.

Alexi Laiho’s LTD (600-SE)
It’s a new release from ESP guitars! The 600-SE! wooot! This is by far, the coolest of Alexi’s guitars (next to the similar-styled model with a black finish and no pinstripes). Purple and Black… yum :D

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!

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.
