mass driver Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Nice! Pic of the day. Too bad the thing costs almost as much as a friggin Gibson Les Paul custom. Edited July 28, 2013 by mass driver Quote
Guest davidwhangchoi Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 it actually costs more... i guess the value is in it's low run (print) and exclusivity for Macross fans as a collectible... definitely not for the pure musician looking to spend high end for the perfect guitar. (i kept making fun of it in previous posts but backed off since it's decent) Quote
Valkyrie addict Posted July 28, 2013 Posted July 28, 2013 (edited) Was Mylene bass released also? Edited July 28, 2013 by Valkyrie addict Quote
Reïvaj Posted July 29, 2013 Posted July 29, 2013 Was Mylene bass released also? No, it's not. It's homemade. Quote

barurutor Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 It's a cool concept but too rich for my blood. Also they should've at least put the ESP logo on the headstock even if it's covered up. Quote
skullmilitia Posted October 25, 2013 Posted October 25, 2013 I'd play it, but I'm not a hug fan of the music of M7. If it wasn't double the cost of the guitar I was going to buy I might have been interested. Quote
mass driver Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Cmon, someone here must be planning on to purchasing one of these.. Quote
Actar Posted October 26, 2013 Posted October 26, 2013 Man, if they ever do produce a bass, I'll be very hard pressed to control myself. Quote
Tochiro Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) So, any guesses on how much this will be? (thanks to SAVE for the pic) Edited April 2, 2014 by Tochiro Quote
UN Spacy Posted April 1, 2014 Posted April 1, 2014 Man, if they ever do produce a bass, I'll be very hard pressed to control myself. Tochiro just called you out. Quote
Jasonc Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Definitely not made for someone like me.... a male. Quote
Reïvaj Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 So, any guesses on how much this will be? I'm pretty sure the answer is somewhere between a lot and too much. Quote
VF-Zer0S Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 Somewhere down the line I'd like to pick one up but man these are expensive. Quote
Dimis Posted April 2, 2014 Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) I'm pretty sure the answer is somewhere between a lot and too much. If a Mass Effect rifle replica can be sold for $1000 - a piece that does nothing other than look authentic to the design - and if this still being made by ESP my guess would be $1500 ? The customer is the well-off hardcore fan so even higher would not surprise me- because tribute bands, the best use of these guitars i think, will probably not be able to afford this and Basara's guitar together anyhow :-) Edited April 2, 2014 by Dimis Quote
aaajin Posted April 10, 2014 Posted April 10, 2014 not sure if this has been posted before or not, but here's the guitar in action! (by Yoshiki Fukuyama) : *well, maybe not made by Arcadia, but Fukuyama-san was also using Basara's replica* Quote
nekki Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 FINALLY!! So, back in 2005: [Yoshiki Fukuyama presents Fire Bomber 2005 A tribute to Nekki Basara] concert, I had the chance to see Fukyama san live for the first time @Osaka. That's when he revealed the first Basara Guitar replica (well, in Tokyo actually), he had made. He actually talks about it on the 2nd disc of the concert DVD (Translation). It is also the one used in Electric Fire 2007 concert. After which came the Arcadia/ESP version. Ever since I saw it back in 2005 I have always wanted this, since Macross 7 is my favorite anime and I am a huge Nekki Basara fan... And after a lot of research, work, patience and saving $$ ... I can Present my New Electric Guitar straight from Japan!: Quote
abbadon Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 ^Nice! I love Macross 7 as well! Congrats man! Quote
Renato Posted June 13, 2014 Posted June 13, 2014 NO TOCAR. Congratulations! Is that the ESP one, though? Something about it looks a little different. So, you were at the 2005 one, too? I was there as well! I was living in Kansai at the time. But I think that the guitar he used there is different to the one in the 2007 Electric Fire concert, because it was supposed to be a headless one where the tuning was done at the bottom, after removing the grey cover. And the head was stuck on with tape, which broke off during Totsugeki Love Heart on the DVD. The 2007 one, unless I'm misremembering, is totally different. It actually has a head and the tuning is done at the top, like the new ESP one. Quote

Thanks Abbadon! hey Renato san, "No Tocar", because I was showing off at work and people just kept touching it!!! >_> This is not the ESP\Arcadia one, this one was custom made for me , I hope to make a review video at some point so when/if I do, I'll link it here. I did go tothe 2005 concert in Osaka (Which I believe was the second show). I also went to the 2006/7 Makka Na Chikai concert in Tokyo and then Otakon 2008 @Baltimore where I got my Fender Strat signed by JAM Project. As for the guitar in the 2007 Electric Fire concert; I really don't have data to back what I said, so you might be right in it being a different guitar from the 2005 one; however, based on the video posted just before my post, by aajin (Seventh Moon (Duet)), the 2007 one still uses the Steinberger system; tuned at the bottom. Almost sure it's the same guitar from 2005, but open to be corrected. Quote
ULessa Posted June 21, 2014 Posted June 21, 2014 Which company did you order your custom from? This is reminding me to go sell my guitars as I don't touch them much anymore. Quote
Kicker773 Posted November 7, 2014 Posted November 7, 2014 So long shot here is this thing available? Quote
nekki Posted June 17, 2015 Posted June 17, 2015 Hi guys... been away from the forums for a short while... (1 year? ) So, First off, I'm working on the un-boxing\review for my custom guitar -> https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eZOixE2rljA To answer some questions above: Bridge is Steinberger (I'll go into more details on the video review) This is a Custom made guitar, so availability depends on your budget (a bit expensive, but for me totally worth it) Who made it? I don't remember 16... So... this was possible thanks to several key players Thanks to: Sena-Guitars who linked me their contact for the guy who made this version: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiyzH7RW0sQ Thanks to GuitarDock & Studio for actually making the guitar: http://www.studio-vegas.com Thanks to: Satoh Takashi san for being the middle man\translator since I live in USA territory and almost no Japanese skill. (Ebay store closed Cheers! Quote
UN Spacy Posted November 4, 2015 Posted November 4, 2015 Posted recently by Mr. K at Arcadia...unsure if it's fan made or something in the works. https://twitter.com/Mrk_arcadia/status/661850172448608256 Quote
