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.

    (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.

      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.

    “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.
