I love to learn how to play an electric guitar, but they priced them at around $400 (give or take with the currency ups and downs these days) each, so I don't think I'll be getting one.
 Very nice though.

Those look... lame. If I saw a band try to use them I'd probably laugh at them. They should have taken a regular guitar design-- like this:
and worked with that. Although really, once you start adding anime designs I suspect that any guitar becomes significantly less cool. |

It's a Fernades ZO-3 which is probably more common in Japan. Especially for being a Fernandes for under 100,000 yen and not needing an external amplifier. RHCP Dave Navarro likes his (his is probably a Nomad). Fernandes is one of the bigger names in Japanese guitars if not the biggest. At one point their Fender knock-offs were considered to be superior to the crap Fender was building at the time. They still make some damn good instruments. |

Seems like an interesting concept. I don't like the shape of the body though... and the neck looks short (could be the picture). Wonder if there is anything on the flip-side?
This really depends on the image the band is trying to portray. You wouldn't see the image of a cute little school girl on some metal band's guitars, but you might on some band that is going for geek pride or whatnot. |

They'd probably get more sales off guitar hero guiters based on Bleach

I have a feeling that they're not really targeting bands with these...  These guitars are probably meant for teenagers and hobby-guitarists who are fans of the franchise. And for that, they look pretty cool IMO.

I'm kinda surprised Bleach was the one to get themed guitars. If any anime were to get themed guitars, I'd have expected FLCL to get some first.

The shipping on this would be crazy, but I kind of want to expand out of acoustic. <---and im not really good at that, but making more noise sounds like a plus.
But i'm torn between the death and strawberry , and the kon one. |

The Fire Soul model seems sufficiently metal.

The show did, but I mean in terms of merchandise, like these Bleach guitars. FLCL guitars could be awesome. Canti Guitar, Atomsk Guitar, Haruko Guitar? I'd want one. |

But then, Bleach is a bit more popular than FLCL... (I don't suppose anyone really remembers FLCL anymore in Japan.) |
