m0n5t3r Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Does it qualify as a toy? http://www.yamato-to.../?infolnk=index that's cool! Quote
anime52k8 Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Does it qualify as a toy? http://www.yamato-to.../?infolnk=index that's kind of really awesome. I wish I knew how to play guitar. Quote
Graham Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 that's kind of really awesome. I wish I knew how to play guitar. Very cool, if I knew how to play guitar, I'd be all over that. Graham Quote
kensei Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 I'd want a Guitar Hero version of that. Pretty cool. Quote
nightmareB4macross Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 So would I. Maybe, Yamato could also release Mylene's hand-held keyboard and a Gubaba to go with it. Pure awesome. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Damn, that's pretty cool. The specs on it actually look pretty damn good too. Seymour Duncan makes great pickups, and it's by ESP, the same guitar manufacturer a lot o big bands use, including Metallica. If I can swing it, I'll try to get one. It'd be awesome to play shows with this, and have people wonder what the hell guitar it is. I always wondered why a guitar manufacturer never made this, and well, here you go. Quote
Chronocidal Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 You know, I've been looking for a good excuse to learn guitar. This might just qualify. Quote
Fly4victory Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Why couldn't this have come out two or three years ago? So what level of debt are we looking at to get this. Quote
Raptor One Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Looks like I'm gonna have to learn the guitar Quote
Jasonc Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 Hahaha, maybe I'll start guitar lessons for the Macross fans. Anybody wanna learn some Fire Bomber? I think this is probably gonna cost in the high hundreds, if not in the $1K range. Quote

You'd play at a punk rock gig with that???? Quote
Jasonc Posted May 23, 2011 Posted May 23, 2011 You'd play at a punk rock gig with that???? Probably not, but, it'd be a great gag for that. I have two other guitars for regular playing, a Les Paul, and an Ibanez. Quote
ff95gj Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 That's a very, very cool peripheral for an anime show. HOWEVER, I hope they'd spent their resources on the Phalanx and Spartan. (sorry for bringing it up again and again... I'll be very persistent!) Quote
Renato Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I posted photos of this guitar at the end of this super-long post here: http://www.macrossworld.com/mwf/index.php?showtopic=31300&view=findpost&p=911320 Quote
00Geass Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 I want this, so bad, I even know how to play. It's gonna be expensive ain't it? Sorry Vf-19 and VF-17 Quote
MacrossJunkie Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Pretty neat, but how do you tune this thing or attach replacement strings? I'm guessing the head of the guitar can open up or be removed? Quote
badboy00z Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 How about make a scaled one for the 1/60 Kai? lol Quote
skizz Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) He's the real thing in action guys!! Click below^_^ ^_^ Edited May 24, 2011 by skizz Quote
connor99 Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 Man, if I'm spending that much money on a guitar, I think I'd rather invest on a GIBSON DOT or an EPIPHONE replica . Hahaha, maybe I'll start guitar lessons for the Macross fans. Anybody wanna learn some Fire Bomber? I think this is probably gonna cost in the high hundreds, if not in the $1K range. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 He's the real thing in action guys!! Click below^_^ ^_^ That's probably not even close to the replica that's going to be offered. High end performers usually get all their gear tweaked to their specifications. Man, if I'm spending that much money on a guitar, I think I'd rather invest on a GIBSON DOT or an EPIPHONE replica . I have the Gibson already. As for my next "real" guitar purhase, I'm looking at a PRS, I believe the Swamp Ash or the ME Quatro. Here's one of them. http://prsguitars.com/swampashspecialnf/ Quote
Axure Posted May 24, 2011 Posted May 24, 2011 (edited) I'm a guitarist, and I know it's not going to be cheap. If it's an ESP/LTD version, its should be between $1-2K. If it's an actual ESP, were looking at $2.5-4k. LTD is the "intro/intermediate" level guitar brand for ESP. Like Epiphone for Gibson, and Squire for Fender. It's fun, but I've got other instruments, and mecha FAR up my list of things. It's pretty though, and the hardware is no joke. ps. stringing it looks like a pain. Edited May 24, 2011 by Axure Quote
Fly4victory Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 For those that bought the Ultra Fire CD with the pick now here's the guitar. It has been almost three decades since I have had a guitar and if this was to show up...well...wife prefers Johnny Cash and think I would be asked to leave if started playing "butchering to be honest" Fire Bomber. Quote
Jasonc Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 It looks great, but functionally, I'd only play this with my band of friends amongst the "anime" crowd. To that extent, how much do I really want it compared to the one I put up the link for, and there's a big difference. It's also something I'd have to play first to see how well the setup is. The Seymour Duncan p/u's are great, but that doesn't mean that this guitar would play well. Quote
connor99 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) Well, if ya asked me, I don't think we can even compare this guitar to the one that you put up the link for. That particular PRS is just absolutely beautiful, but of course, I'm a guitar player too so functionality appeals to me more than anything else.

bigkid24 Posted May 25, 2011 Posted May 25, 2011 (edited) So would I. Maybe, Yamato could also release Mylene's hand-held keyboard and a Gubaba to go with it. Pure awesome. Wow, all these posts and no one has corrected him yet? Okay I'll do it. Mylene played bass. Ray had the keyboard. Sorry. Had to do it. But yeah seems like a fun collectible to have.

m0n5t3r Posted May 26, 2011 Author Posted May 26, 2011 (edited) i would rather they make the tv style helmet/s if they were thinking of making more of these uber expensive stuff... but yeah, it's M7 time for Yamato so that probably wont happen. Edited May 26, 2011 by m0n5t3r Quote
Cuda Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Who do I have to shoot, Golgo13 style, to own this???? For real, it looks to be a HSS Strat with a bit of a modified body. Really nice specs for a guitar player actually, pickups are more a medium output vintage sound and the neck/fretboard on that will be damn comfy and you can get all EVH tappy on the nice maple. I like 22 fret models for that tone. $$$$$$$$$ Wonder if they will make a short scale Flying V like the fire valk for the 30th =P My experience with LTD have been decent, nice feel to them, but a LTD SC207 and a ESP SC are worlds apart, even with the LTD being nice as well... I'm just rambling now. Anyway, if someone happens to have one and need to let it go to a pro, track me down. I can give a kidney or something for collateral. Quote
mandol Posted May 26, 2011 Posted May 26, 2011 Why do the round thingies remind me of Pokeballs? Quote
Maiden Japan Posted May 27, 2011 Posted May 27, 2011 They should also release this in non-function dummy model for less cost. Quote
derex3592 Posted May 28, 2011 Posted May 28, 2011 I would LOVE to see a "mini" replica of this. Something about 10 inches or so tall. Put it on a little stand right next to the Fire Valk. Quote
Cuda Posted June 1, 2011 Posted June 1, 2011 http://youtu.be/3mh8Aj5yhHg I know it's too loud, but \m/ Quote
