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.
"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.
Remember, you can purchase new ESP guitars online.

A lot of weight, and a lot of playability issues in regards to the guitar getting caught in clothes and wires.

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

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
