One of THE COOLEST Guitars (PIC)

gizmodo.com — O Lord, bless this thy Angel Sword Guitar, that with it thou mayst blow Christina Aguilera and A-HA and Ricky Martin and Enrique Iglesias to tiny bits, in thy mercy. If you want it, follow these steps: first shalt thou get to eBay. Then shalt thou pay $4,500, no more, no less. Sadly it won't play Guitar Hero. Jump for a high definition image.

    Yeah, let's just call everything we don't like "gay." Mr. Green Jeans, you're gay. You're gayer than gay - you're gay gay. See, I'm cool, because I'm saying things are gay because I don't like them.
    </sarcasm>

    *sigh*... I hate people.
  • hansblix, on 10/11/2007, -6/+146If I saw a someone in a band using this thing, I dont think i could ever stop laughing.

    What? It's true.
  • bendedavis, on 10/11/2007, -12/+48I'd take a Fender telecaster over this any day.
  • FatalTragedy316, on 10/11/2007, -2/+35I will only become a paying customer if it is used to slay teen pop idols during live performances.
  • mrgreenjeans, on 10/11/2007, -83/+107He referencing Monty Python's "Holy Grail" The part with the Holy Hand Grenade.

    The guitar is gay.

  • 4degrees, on 10/11/2007, -3/+24"Guitar hero is the greatest guitar playing game of all time"...

    can you name any other guitar playing games? (honest question)
  • DeathBorn, on 10/11/2007, -9/+30This is the perfect guitar for emos. You cut your hands while playing it!

    Thank you, I'll be here all week.

  • rosefu, on 10/11/2007, -3/+21Just because it's pretty doesn't mean it's...

    Hrmm. Maybe a female's opinion on this subject matter is not going to help.
  • readme, on 10/11/2007, -10/+27Give me a Les Paul any day. 50-years of the same design and parts can't be wrong.
  • nesibus, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17I don't NEED no instructions to know how to ROCK!
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -0/+16By the power of grayskull!
  • actorboy, on 10/11/2007, -1/+17Is Manowar making a comeback?
  • guitvinny, on 10/11/2007, -3/+18@ DrDragun : http://www.yourdailymedia.com/i/u/h30GSy1i.jpg
  • stratdog25, on 10/11/2007, -5/+18It's unique... I'll give it that. I still prefer my hot magenta HM Strat (yeah, the one Greg Howe used to endorse. Now THAT looks gay).

    @engme - It probably uses double ball end strings, like the old Steinbergers used. The spring-loaded bridge moves forward, you slide the strings in, then you tighten and tune via the machine heads on the back of the bridge. Its a fairly common design for headless guitars. The big problem I have is there's no discernable volume pot.

    A lot of these guys are right - Ibanez, Jackson, ESP, and Fender are still making great instruments... Gibson, not so much, ever since the company was sold in 1986 for a mere $5million. Modern SG's and 'Pauls just don't sound or feel the same as the vintage stuff... But I'm all about a unique player having a unique instrument... it really becomes part of you.

    But it DOES look gay.
  • Xfrost4, on 10/11/2007, -0/+13Dugg because it slays teen pop stars!!
  • kingofthisnight, on 10/11/2007, -8/+20Something tells me somebody is not very good at Guitar Hero.
  • MikeonTV, on 10/11/2007, -2/+13I thought it was a guitar pick!
  • codechino, on 10/11/2007, -0/+11@h3ndrix -- uhh, no humbuckers? look again. its got one pickup, and its a humbucker.
  • inactive, on 10/11/2007, -3/+12Yes! Telecaster!
    wouldn't even lift my head off the bar to look at this cheeeeeeesy cornball thing
  • thcobbs, on 10/11/2007, -1/+9"O Lord, bless this thy Angel Sword Guitar, that with it thou mayst blow Christina Aguilera"

    Didn't know "she" was packing.... "She" tucks very well.
  • bendedavis, on 10/11/2007, -3/+11For you to even know anything about guitars and think that this is cool is just pathetic. Have fun restringing it (floyd rose, uck).
  • pr0t0, on 10/11/2007, -7/+15I wouldn't go so far as to say it's gay...because that is totally insensitive, disrespectful, and juvenile.

    I'm just saying it's something you would have seen at a Queen show.

    "...We are the champions, my friend..."
  • h3ndrix, on 10/11/2007, -7/+15No humbuckers? Bet it wails like *****.
  • 4degrees, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8no, it better come with a TV.
  • bendedavis, on 10/11/2007, -1/+8@lasko

    ***** that. '72 teles ftw.
  • crazybrit, on 10/11/2007, -3/+10I'm good at actual guitar.
  • theseventhyear, on 10/11/2007, -2/+8Hmmmm i believe i'll just keep my les paul
  • dclowd9901, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Or Deathklok.
  • Vic333, on 10/11/2007, -0/+6Man, you would have to be wearing the very tightest of spandex to get away with playing that guitar!
  • t0ad, on 10/11/2007, -0/+5Someone call up Dragonforce, they need a few of these badboys.
  • jagenjg, on 10/11/2007, -5/+10$4,500 for that? It better come with a lot of beer.
  • Lifeprong, on 10/11/2007, -2/+7Bah! Draco for the win!

  • 1stJonnyDee, on 10/11/2007, -1/+5@ 4degrees;

    Yes, Guitar Freak has been available for many years....in Japan. There are quite a few arcades all around the world that carry the machines and there are home versions available on the PS2.
  • wyrdness, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4I'd rather have one of the Lemmy signature Rickenbacker 'ock leaf' basses. Limited edition of 50 and very, very expensive:

  • soil, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4how heavy is that beast anyway?
  • zephc, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Needs to be black, with demon wings to be totally kvlt and troo.

    Anyway, its looks like a glorified Steinberger ( http://img503.imageshack.us/img503/7916/18479896zq4.jpg ) (Yes, I see is an ESP)
  • razrielle, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4http://www.carverdoug.com/wang.html
  • suriyou, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4@4degrees

    Yeah, but Dave recently switched from ESP to Dean :/
  • hikaruzero, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6ESP makes great guitars. So does Ibanez. And Fender. And Gibson.

    But all of them also made crappy guitars.

    It's not like brands *only* make godly or foul guitars.

    IMO higher-end ESPs are rather nice but the LTDs are pretty lame. I admit I do prefer RGs over an ESP any day though. ;)
  • strafefire, on 10/11/2007, -2/+6Somebody has been playing TOO MUCH Final Fantasy...
  • Caleb83, on 10/11/2007, -0/+4Alright, this is a cool looking guitar. But that comes second to what it sounds like.
