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.

Sweet looking Gutair
i wonder how they tune it
Beutiful, but no comfortable IMHO
4 all U Jerk Wadz who posted “I wonder how it soundz”
(1) A real guitarist can make any guitar sound good.
(2) It’s from ESP of course it’s going to sound GREAT.
(3) Do you really think that after taking all the time to design this magnificent piece of art they would not make it sound just as awesome as it looks.
Quit Smoking Dope U Bunch Of Brain Dead Looserz
It’s…. stupid. That thing doesn’t have much to do with proper looking instrument. I appreciate the effort needed to build it, but.. it’s damn stupid…

I think the guitar is breath taking.
Mmmm…
Beautifully Designed, artfully crafted, and played wondrously.
Though the wings on the sides are a bit gaudy. It may have looked better without the wings marring the over all appearance.
Don’t get me wrong, they’re beautiful, just not what I would expect to be on a ‘sword.’
how the hell do you TUNE this beast lol
¿cuanto cuesta la guitarra? quiero comprarla
dude that is INSANE!!!
you fine tune it at the bridge its a floyd rose speedloader trem i think
wat is that pickup though and is that fretboard made of metal or is it painted?
dude i NEED to play this axe
that is too awesome for one man to hold!
They just need to customize one that looks like a Battle Axe for the true idea of a Guitar. LOL
ya but how do u tune it and just because its a sword doesnt mean its the best and rarest guitar ever its rare b/c its a custom
WAL!
this guitar is fucking insain are you guys gana put this in to preduction cos i fucking want one!!!
Awsome!! Battle of the bands material!
esta pichudisima!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
DUDE!! where is the freakin tone knob and volume!?!?!?
i dont think that its a auto tuner but thats just me but i see 6 knobs right above the handle thats probably to tune it and i wonder if they make one with more than 20 frets
To the guy wanting to know how to tune it, it has a tremolo system on it clearly visible. The 6 knobs near the bridge move the strings forward and backward while, looking where the head-stock should be, you’ll see three Allen keys; these lock the strings in place assuring it will hold it’s tuning for a very long time.
I have a custom guitar with a tremolo system and a floating bridge and it will stay in tune for a very long time;
the flipside is changing turnings drastically is a massive pain in the ass.
restringing it wud be the hard part lolz
i cant fukn believe how insanely sexy this guitar is nd IDIOTS I HAS AN AUTO-TUNER!!!
how the hell do you tune that thing?
its fucking awsome
Just tell me how to tune the f**king thing .
Totally Awesome Axe.. I’m going to make one just like it.
it turns me on
How would you tune it??? Well Im in love with this guiar never the less I would pay 20Grand for it!!
“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.
it looks stupid and must be completely unplayable while sitting. what’s next – a guillotine guitar??
omg! im in love with it!!!! lol.
Looks like this guitarist took “slaying the crowd” waaaaaay to literally
when did dragonforce start avoiding scrutiny?
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!
I WANT THIS FUCKIN GUITAR… I WOULD KILL EVERY ONE IN THE WORLD TO OWN THAT GUITAR
this fits well for power metal..
yes yes nice ohhhh is “coool” …. sorry but this isn’t a great guitar is just a guitar with a strange shape, probably a normal fender or also a normal esp guitar will “sound” a lot lot better…
thats freaking amazing how can you ppl say this is bad and everything
i would love to have this guitar
it is defentely one of the cools guitars ever
shame on you ppl who say this amazing guitar sucks
