    Listen. If you’re in a metal band of any variety, you need this guitar. Sure, it costs nearly $12,000 and looks a little awkward to play, but you’d be an instant legend when taking the stage with it! Doubly so if you’re in a death metal band. I mean really, fuck an Ironbird body shape at this point. Swords are the future.<\/p>\n

    According to seller Guillaume<\/strong> on Reverb: “This guitar was custom made by ESP for Takamizawa<\/strong>, the guitar player from Japanese rock band The Alfee<\/strong>. It has a Steinberger style bridge with tuners. Single humbucking pickup, marked Takamizawa<\/strong> custom. Carved bird\/angel shaped body. Headless bolt-on neck is shaped to look like a sword, and has a locking nut.<\/p>\n

    “An inscription in the sword handle reads ’20th<\/sup> Anniversary. The Alfee<\/strong>. Since 1972 \u2013 ’93.’ This suggests it was made to commemorate the 20th<\/sup> anniversary of the band formed by Takamizawa<\/strong> and 3 friends.”<\/p>\n
