eBay of the day: Awesome sword guitar with wings

eBay item #170122441600 is a ludicrous gold sword guitar made by ESP, up for $4,500 . It was made for this baroque-looking guy who is Takamizawa, guitarist in Alfee, who has a frickin' awesome collection of stupid guitars. (via Table of Malcontents)

Did someone say it's dragon slaying time? Cause I think I heard someone say it's dragon slaying time.

If it's such an expensive, custom-made instrument, why did they resort to using an Strat-type jack socket turned inside-out on the back? What a nasty little detail.

you're not lying! Also note the ill fit of the neck against the body, and the large paint chip on the back nearby. Guitar paint should not chip before it dents- and a guitar thats getting its worth entirely from its looks should have a better paint job than that.

That is the ugliest thing I've seen in some time. But then mediocre guitarist try to hid inferior playing behind gadgetry and ludicrous effects

I love the opening words on the auction:

"If you don't need a sword guitar please be sure and check out my "other items" link..."

I mean, is there anyone out there who actually "needs" a sword guitar? :-0

Try taking that sword thing through Heathrow Airport.

To be fair, the weird looking Japanese guy does have a Doraemon guitar which is daft yet cool.
