ESP sword guitar kills knights dead, plays a pleasant tune

If you ever wanted to cut through a crowd of screaming fans all trying to plant their greasy little fingers on the precious talent that is you, ESP has the answer.

ESP Sword Guitar

"Here is an absolutely awesome sword guitar from the ESP Custom Shop. It was custom made for the Alfee's guitar player Takamizawa" reads the auction page for the Lordi-esque Sword Guitar. "The Alfee is one of the biggest rock acts in Japan and Takamizawa is well known for his Angel and other Gothic themed guitars."

"It is a pro quality instrument that actually sounds AMAZING plugged and unplugged. Very loud and resonant unplugged. The action can be set anyway you want it and is currently super low. It is all hand carved etc. These start at around $12,000 or so new so offer accordingly."

Hows this for service: The owner will even deliver it halfway across the world if the ticket costs less than 500 clams.

Visit the auction here.

nice guitar bys but it looks liek it weighs a ton and by the looks of it its not really that playable but its a nice show peice non the less

> guitar shreader | 31.10.2007

man fuck that, that guitar is fucking prime, sure it may be slightly difficult to play but, if u can pick up a piece of wood and play it, whats the difference if its shaped like a sword or a strat? toss on a fucking strap and stand up to play it, sling it down low and rip some shit. who cares if its odd shaped, i think its fucking mint and would shred the shit outta that thing, but it seems pricy, so ill stick to my jackson warrior and strat-o-blaster

> waywerd-jayberd | 05.11.2007

P.S. i would totally shank the shit outta ppl with that thing after an intense shred, as to add to the intenseness of the moment

> the last guy who posted | 05.11.2007

> Layla | 06.11.2007

how much would that be It AwEsOmE!!!!

> Layla | 06.11.2007

it may be 12 grand but it is hand made, stuff like that in england goes far in money, some of my mates sell for 2 to 4 grand, it does take them about a month to make them though. looks great though, perfect for the wall 8) lol

> quick shot productions | 18.11.2007

by the way, everyone moaning about weight? cmon strat lovers buy an old les paul and then feel how your back breaks slow after time 8)

> les paul custom craze | 18.11.2007

lol, well the description said it was little japanese rock dudes right? well everyone knows prolly any type of japanese band cant play for shit.
they're just for looks.
so this guitar is perfect. its got looks and is good for the japanese "rockers" that can play an open E.
hooray for them.

> nameless | 23.07.2008

I WANT THIS FUCKIN GUITAR... I WOULD KILL EVERY ONE IN THE WORLD TO OWN THAT GUITAR

> RANDOM PERSON | 29.07.2008

Unique yet it doesn't feel right. Perhaps due the fact that it is massively overpriced and you absolutely have to play in Dragon Force to avoid the embarrasment and scrutiny....oh lord the scrutiny!

> Von Ludwig | 02.08.2008

when did dragonforce start avoiding scrutiny?

> guy with poop in his drawers | 23.08.2008

Looks like this guitarist took "slaying the crowd" waaaaaay to literally

> SUPAH JEEW! | 30.08.2008

> john | 12.09.2008

it looks stupid and must be completely unplayable while sitting. what's next - a guillotine guitar??

> uuuugly | 21.09.2008

"it looks stupid and must be completely unplayable while sitting. what's next - a guillotine guitar??"

well you obviously dont have a fucking clue abuot guitars then, and/or never played one, cause it would be easy to play, you'd rest the wings on your lap.... the only thing you'd need to worry about is making sure you dont make TOO much love to it..
This is such an epic and amazing guitar, i'd totally buy it if it was $2000- cause i dont feel like spending $4500 or whatever it was.

> in the pictures above you see the most sexiest gui | 16.10.2008

How would you tune it??? Well Im in love with this guiar never the less I would pay 20Grand for it!!

> KRISTIAN | 03.11.2008
