A new limited edition guitar manufactured by ESP and designed by Takamizawa Toshihiko, who plays with the long-running Japanese rock band the Alfee, has been put up for sale.

According to Neo-Tokyo 2099, the model was created with the support of Toho—the studio behind Godzilla—and was designed to commemorate the 65th anniversary of the movie monster. Features include an alder body, a three-piece hard maple neck and an ebony fingerboard. There's also a Floyd Rose bridge, Gotoh tuners and a single EMG-85 pickup.

The Godzilla guitar will be available in an extremely limited run of five examples, with a price tag of 5.55 million yen (approx. $51,600). Orders are available from today, August 7 through September 30.

Before clicking this thread I had an awesome picture in my head where Godzilla's head was the body and his atomic breath was the neck and then I see this garbage.

I know right, it's such a fucking no brainer i think the designer went out of their way not to do it. The neck just looks like a huge turd

I'd buy for 1% of that price. ESP are ok, but I'd never spend much over a few hundred on one in all honesty, and even then you can get a better sound and feel for the same or less.

The ALFEE's guitarist Takamizawa is a collector of crazy guitars. Like this one:
