This is Nihei!
To all you guitarists out there, who are your favorite artists or guitarists?
If someone asked me that, the first name that comes to mind is John Frusciante from the Red Hot Chili Peppers!
I’m guessing those of you who watch TCGAKKI’s YouTube videos might already know him a little from our pedalboard and SG2000 review videos, haha.
Over the past decade or so, I’ve come to admire various guitarists, but
in this line of work, I often come across instruments related to my favorite guitarists.
And this time, we’ve received several instruments related to artists I love!
This is a very personal selection, but since I have the chance, I’d like to give you a quick introduction!
YAMAHA SG2000DP
The SG2000 was built on the concept of a professional-grade electric guitar.
Among them, this Deep Purple model is a limited-edition color that was produced for just two months—July and August of 1981!
By the time I discovered Fulcianté and bought my first Guitar Magazine, I already owned an SG.
Back then, I was just a kid who only knew about Strats, so I remember being totally shocked the moment I saw this guitar—I thought, “What on earth is this?!”

Fender Mexico Kurt Cobain Road Worn Jaguar
A model that recreates a 1965 Jaguar modified with two humbuckers—a configuration synonymous with Nirvana’s Kurt Cobain.
Not only does it feature two humbuckers, but everything from the pickup selector to the controls is configured exactly to Kurt’s specs!
This is the iconic Jaguar that comes to mind when you think of Kurt!
I’ve always dreamed of owning one—I even built my own two-humbucker Jaguar at one point (lol).
Any Kurt fan has surely 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 by Jason Smith
SOLD OUT
“Lenny” is one of the guitars that symbolizes Stevie Ray Vaughan, featuring a mandolin pickguard embedded under the bridge.
This Fender Custom Shop Tribute Series “Lenny” is a perfect recreation of that very “Lenny”!
SRV owned countless Strats, but isn’t this “Lenny” just as famous as his “Number One”?
As part of the Tribute Series, every detail—including scratches, autographs, and the repair marks on the headstock—has been faithfully reproduced; just looking at it is a lesson in itself!
I don’t smoke, but just looking at it makes me want to sit down, put a cigarette in my mouth, and play.
If I could, I’d want to own the whole collection...
