what if.. Voice
Please feel free to share your thoughts!
"I wish it were more like this," "I don't like this part"—we all have one or two of those thoughts, right? But the reality is that we often have no choice but to settle for what's available on the market. We're looking for your thoughts on "If only it were like this" and "It would be great if it had this feature"!You might be worried that your thoughts won’t get through, but here at the TCGAKKI Group, we read every single piece of feedback. We’ve already created products based on customer suggestions! Whether it’s a super personal desire or just a whim—anything goes. Go ahead and vent those frustrations and desires you’ve been keeping buried deep inside!
BaseballEffector
This project started with a single comment from a customer who was a huge fan of the Swallows’ mascot, “Tsubakuro”: “I wish there was a Tsubakuro effects pedal.”
You might not believe it, but we actually obtained an official license from the Central League to produce it.
It turned into a passionate product that our Tigers and Carp fans were so fired up about that we managed to bring it all the way to market! <2020>
Samurai Guitar
It’s typical of TCGAKKI to create something like this, but it all started when our history-loving staff got together for drinks, the conversation turned to the “Shinsengumi,” and someone said, “Why don’t we make one?”—and that’s how the project began.
Since we knew the team that had previously made the square-bodied Pocky Guitar, we thought, “Why not make a square guitar featuring not just the Shinsengumi’s ‘Flag of Sincerity,’ but also Takeda Shingen’s ‘Wind, Forest, Fire, Mountain’ and Mito Komon’s ‘Aoi Crest’!” Once we got started, there was no stopping us, so we ended up producing these three models. <2021>
ROCKMAN Revival
An excellent compact version of the legendary Rockman, famous for the sounds of Boston and B'z.
A masterpiece created by veteran engineers who know Rockman inside and out, thoroughly analyzing the original circuitry and reviving it as a fully analog unit. It retains the legendary sound while being reborn as a compact pedal with modern usability. Trusted Made in Japan! <2022–2024>
Fighter Jet Guitar
A masterpiece born from the whims of an aviation-loving owner, inspired by the rumors of a domestically developed fighter jet and the sight of the test aircraft—nicknamed "Shinshin"—soaring through the Japanese skies .
Despite its innovative shape, the body features a chambered structure in certain areas for optimal weight distribution, and—believe it or not—the bridge is an 80s-era Kala tremolo Recruit.
The owner was meticulous about replicating the aircraft’s design down to the finest details—from the color scheme and position marks to the knobs—and the prototype even featured an arched body.
A groundbreaking electric guitar whose developer, Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, was asked for a license to produce it but was completely ignored. <2021>

My nails keep hitting the strings when I play, so I’d love to see a guitar string presser! There are sooo many women who want to grow their nails but still play guitar—this would definitely sell! Right now, you can only get them on super-cheap Chinese websites, so I’d be really happy if a musical instrument manufacturer made one (Tokyo: Mukk)
I want a modeling wah that combines every wah pedal from throughout history into a single unit (Kagawa Prefecture: Nikubucho)
I want a bridge cover for vintage-style Stratocasters, Jaguars, and Jazzmasters (Tokyo: T.K)
I want a Telecaster that looks like a Stratocaster with F-holes on both sides (Iwate Prefecture: K)
I want a guitar that can produce the same range as a piano (A0–C8) (Saitama Prefecture: E.S)
I’d like to see niche, old, unconventional guitars reissued in a modern style (Osaka Prefecture: S.H)

👍 A guitar that can be easily switched between right-handed and left-handed modes (Kanagawa Prefecture: A.A)
👍 “I’d like an electronic ocarina. It wouldn’t be as intimidating as a wind synthesizer, and I’d like to be able to play it casually in my apartment. I think an ocarina-style version of an electronic recorder would be great.” (Tokushima Prefecture: SO)
👍 I wish there was a guitar equipped with Effector (basically, one that lets you play with just the guitar, a cable, and an amp) (Tokushima Prefecture: SO)
🙏 I just bought a GOAT acoustic guitar! I’ve been thinking about getting a nylon-string guitar lately, so I’d love to see a nylon-string version released too! (Fukushima Prefecture: Kame)
👑 I can’t find a 1960s J-45 bridge saddle anywhere, so I’d like you to make one. If possible, I’d like to try it out with different types of wood. (Kanagawa Prefecture: M.S.)
👑 I love Tom Schultz’s ROCKMAN sound, but since I only have a rack, I’d like it as a Effector. I want to put it in a pedalboard. (Tokyo: K.K)

Because it’s just so much fun! 😆
Work is busy, but the thrill of seeing a product—born from a casual idea like “I’d love to have something like this” shared at a company drinking party—actually hit the market is always an indescribable joy.
A customer’s quiet murmur in a store can spark an idea, and we’re always brainstorming at our get-togethers to create products that really hit the spot!
Your idea might just become our next product—why not join us in creating “that thing you’ve always wanted”?
