Sorry, I don't understand Japanese

 

[Citizen_Insane]

Metal as fuck.

 

[L Thammy]

Looks like a greatsword. Shouldn't it be a charge axe?

...Or the Zinogre hunting horn, now that I think about it.

 

[dreamfall]

So utterly badass!

 

[Toxi]

New Hunting Horn perhaps?

 

[Crimsonclaw111]

That's pretty fucking awesome.

 

[ComputerMKII]

So utterly badass!

The price is badass too ($22,000, according to xe.com)

 

[JRBechard]

2,300,000 yen = about 23,000$!! Wow holy crap, if the guitar cost 1/10th of that it would still be overpriced.

 

[SatoAilDarko]

Capcom is making bank on all these Monster Hunter anniversary items.

 

[ComputerMKII]

2,300,000 yen = about 23,000$!! Wow holy crap, if the guitar cost 1/10th of that it would still be overpriced.

But it comes with a hardcase!

 

[Antiwhippy]

Looks like something made for GWAR.

 

[Teknopathetic]

That is atrocious. An affront to all 5 senses.

 

[The Bankslammer]

should be made of real rathalos for that price

 

[udivision]

Nice... axe?

 

[Leunam]

Meh, bolt on neck.

 

[friskykillface]

0_O $23,000

i'll take my broke ass outta the thread, looks cool though

 

[shaowebb]

Looks metal as fuck but I'd hate to use the lower frets. It looks crowded down their...plus god help you if you tend to thigh rest occassionally when upright playing.

 

[Nekofrog]

ew

that rosewood

streaked ebony or maple only

edit: oh and an emg to boot, why throw in an emg81 into a guitar that pricey. go big or go home with some bkp's

 

[ComputerMKII]

That is atrocious. An affront to all 5 senses.

I've seen much worse from ESP:

 

[sixteen-bit]

For the MH fan who has everything

 

[serversurfer]

Metal as fuck.

Dat first post.

 

[kasane]

ew

that rosewood

streaked ebony or maple only

edit: oh and an emg to boot, why throw in an emg81 into a guitar that pricey. go big or go home with some bkp's

Because they are aiming for mon hun fans

Looks atrocious, price is atrocious

 

[ss-hikaru]

Should've been the Black Lute hunting horn instead. Or perhaps the Zinogre one (don't rmb what it looks like but it sounded like an electric guitar right?). This thing is UGLEH.

 

[Mechazawa]

Why is it so blurry? Are they using an actual texture from the game or something?

 

[fred]

Fucking hell, I need to win the lottery lol

Shame it doesn't have a Floyd Rose, a guitar that looks like that needs some dive bombing action!!!

 

[Lumicide]

That's hideous. And they're called axes not swords, so why not use an axe head from the game? It looks like a derpy paddle.

 

[Meesh]

As both a nerd, dork, and lover of anything MH(unhealthy obsession?) I vow to fuse my peins to said ax and play to the unholy gods of satanica!!!!

Mighta been cooler though if it was a GoreMagala version.

 

[TheMink]

I have 1 of 18 of a Matt Bellamy signiture Manson guitar. It didnt cost nearly as much as that.

 

[Muskieratboi]

I'm sorry.. but...

RATHALOS TAIL ELECTRIC GUITAR?!

BEST.

HUNTING HORN.

EVER.

 

[Zimbardo]

ugly as sin.

would not buy.

 

[Kinsei]

They make a MH guitar but the don't base it off of the guitar already in the game? Why?

 

[facelike]

But it comes with a hardcase!

Lol!!

That is sic!

 

[elementalsin]

ESP has made some great guitars, and I certainly love all of mine... But damn they've made some really questionable designs, haha. That's just... something right there.

 

[Haunted]

They make a MH guitar but the don't base it off of the guitar already in the game? Why?

To be honest, they're cool fantasy weapons. Actual guitars... not so much. Not that the final product is any better.

 

[Wynnebeck]

Meh, bolt on neck.

Should have been first post.

 

[Toxi]

Seriously, this is one ugly guitar. The tan destroys any color consistency and shape chosen is a poor one for a guitar compared to other weapons in the game.

 

[blackjaw]

Looks really uncomfortable to play. Also, only one EMG pickup?

 

[tensuke]

That's so fucking brutal

 

[robox]

the monster hunter Ducati Monster 1200 is better and cheaper

http://www.capcom.co.jp/monsterhunter/10th/goods/16.php

 

[Pops Maellard]

Looks incredibly uncomfortable and ugly. Also one EMG? Really?

Not feeling it.

 

[Stainless]

well if it's only going to have the bridge pickup at least it's an EMG

 

[Infernostew]

I've seen much worse from ESP:

Worse? That's amazing! With Andrew W.K. on the back too?!?! Best dude.

 

[morpix]

Well, that's gonna be a shitty guitar. Looks cool I guess. $22000 for something to hang on your wall.

 

[Manu]

Impractical as fuck, but awesome nevertheless.

 

[Mixolydian]

$23000 with $500 in materials.

 

[RurouniZel]

That's a bitchin' guitar! XD

 

[ComputerMKII]

Looks really uncomfortable to play. Also, only one EMG pickup?

If you play metal you only need one pickup anyway.

 

[Seanspeed]

That body better be super-lightweight or its going to be unbalanced as fuck trying to play that standing.

They also should taken off all the fretboard dots and just had the custom inlay.

And painted the headstock something other than standard black. Looks weird with the rest of it.

If you play metal you only need one pickup anyway.

If you only ever play super heavy distorted stuff, but most metal guitarists are a bit more versatile than that.

This obviously isn't the sort of guitar that covers all your bases, though. Anybody who buys this will likely have other guitars.

 

[kogasu]

Oh ESP.... I love some of their crazy guitar designs.

As for this one, I think its a pretty neat looking guitar but I see a lot of stuff that I'm not to hot on. Definitely not very versatile but it's expected as its more for show and dayuum on that price!

That body better be super-lightweight or its going to be unbalanced as fuck trying to play that standing.

Hah, imagine trying to play it sitting as well.
