how much 35,000 yen? so it's priced about like an epiphone then. probably aimed at girls who are fans of the show.

Maple + Nato for a Japanese guitar? The CIJ Beck Telecaster suddenly looks rather enticing.


Now for some NATTO!

I remember there was a licensed BECK mustang posted on here a while back, only that was a real Fender. Despite my avatar and having watched the first season of K-ON!, I wouldn't go for this; it falls in the same category as the Hello Kitty guitar for me.

Just get the guitar that Yui plays: a Heritage Cherry Gibson Les Paul Standard.

That's nice but I'm not that hot for Les Pauls + I got the Mustang from the show already + need to save up for a vintage Vespa. This internship I'm in is paying through but I'm afraid I'm gonna get the shaft, doing nothing for 28 hours a week. I'm only relying on the contract I signed to not fall through. But no where in it did it say that I need to actually do any work, being a high school internship. And if I were gonna get another guitar based on an anime, it would be, even though I've never played bass:

Nothing on that guitar looks drawn to scale. I didn't notice it before but the body, knobs, headstock, binding all look wrong.

I love how Gibson will issue its headstock on cheaper than epi-standard models like the best buy/walmart Maestro guitars and this K-ON exclusive but won't on even the highest end Epiphone.

What I want to see is Korg issue a K-ON exclusive Triton Extreme for $400.
