Hi, it's Nihei!
Guitarists, who are your favorite artists or guitarists?
If someone asked me that, the first name I'd say is John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers. John Frusciante !
If you've watched TCGAKKI's YouTube videos, you might already know him a bit from Effector board introductions or SG2000 review videos, lol.
Over the past decade or so, I've come to love many different guitarists.
Working in this field, I often come across instruments connected to guitarists I admire.
And this time, several instruments related to artists I love have arrived!
It's a very personal selection, but since they're here, I'll give a quick introduction!
YAMAHA SG2000DP
The SG2000 was built on the concept of a professional-grade electric guitar.
Among these, this Deep Purple model is a limited-edition color produced for only two months, July and August 1981!
In the first Guitar Magazine I bought after discovering Fursianto, he already had an SG.
Back then, I was just a kid who only knew Strats, so I remember being stunned the moment I saw this guitar—What the heck is this?!

Fender Mexico Kurt Cobain Road Worn Jaguar
Nirvana Kurt Cobain A model recreating the 1965 Jaguar modified with two humbuckers, synonymous with Kurt Cobain.
Not only the two humbuckers, but everything from the pickup selector to the controls is Kurt-spec!
This is the iconic Jaguar that defines Kurt!
I've always admired it so much, I even built my own two-humbucker Jaguar at one point lol
If you're a Kurt fan, you've probably dreamed of owning this Jaguar or that Strat with the Vandalism sticker at least once, right?

Fender Custom Shop Tribute Series "Lenny" Stevie Ray Vaughan Stratocaster Jason Smith
SOLD OUT
Features a mandolin pickguard embedded under the bridge Stevie Ray Vaughan (スティーヴィー レイ ヴォーン) guitar.
This Fender Custom Shop Tribute Series "Lenny" is a perfect recreation of that very Lenny!
SRV owned many Strats, but this Lenny is just as famous as his Number One!
Being a Tribute Series, it faithfully recreates every detail—scratches, signatures, and even the repaired chip on the headstock. Just looking at it is educational!
I don't smoke myself, but it makes me want to sit down, put a cigarette in my mouth, and play.
If I could, I'd want the whole thing for myself...
