I hadn't played my guitar almost at all for maybe 10-15 years. Then I watched Bocchi, looked over at my guitar, saw that it was a black Les Paul epiphone that looks almost exactly like Bocchi's and thought "fuck it, that's destiny." Back in the game.

@@MattyyyM as a long time Les Paul owner, the worst thing is the angle of the headstock. It is a straight up design flaw IMO, as guitars with a less angled headstock stay in tune much better.

Yo! For Bocchi’s effect chain, you can see her board in episode 12 at 5:14 and at one more spot I believe. It looks like a Boss BD-2 (as you mentioned) as well as a ProCo RAT and also it looks like a Dunlop Crybaby GCB95 looping into a Boss MS-3 which is most likely where she’s getting her fuzz and rotary sounds from.

Bocchi the Rock has a special place in my heart. It helped me get through a rough time in my life, and as a result it motivated me to play guitar again. You could say that Bocchi the Rock changed my life for the better. Last year, I finally saved up enough cash and bought the Les Paul Custom directly from Gibson. I was surprised to find out that out of sheer coincidence, the certification date of my Les Paul Custom was on my birthday! Bocchi also has the same birthday month as I do, too. I overall love the Les Paul Custom. While it does indeed have its own quirks and oddities, I can't help but smile each and every time I play it. It's a part of me I can't let go of. Thank you for posting this video. I'm always glad to see Bocchi and her guitar get the love they deserve.

Bocchi speaks deeply to me, I think it speaks to any 30+ guitar player who spent his teenage years locked in his room playing more guitar alone than having human interactions and witnessing the birth of KZbin with people like Jerry C, wishing to play that good and be seen on the internet. The Ano Bando song specially is a banger with those lyrics and it makes me feel quite emotional. "I close my eyes there's a halo in the darkness I cover my ears there's a steady beating pulse within Deep in my chest my heart makes my body sway I don't want to hear anything else Nothing but the sounds I'm making" Congratulations on your Les Paul, I almost bought one that looked like this 8 or so years ago but in the end I got a PRS clone from a Korean brand as my H-H mahogany axe, still have it.

In the anime, it was left ambiguous if it was a reissue or not, but the in the manga it is clear that she is using a reissue due to the pickguard design, I think from the 70s but not 100% sure. She uses a jcm900 amp for the school festival show. And the amp she uses at the Starry doesn't look like jcm800 because of the imput jack, the jcm800 has two, while the Starry amp has one. I am not too familiar with marshall amps so I don't know what model the Starry uses. Although I know Kita uses a Roland JC120 with a foot switch to activate the inbuilt chorus that wasn't animated for some reason dispite Kita using the foot switch during the school festival show.

[@xaeraellockwood2365]

Important Amp correction. In the show, it's a JCM 900. You can tell this by counting the dials. 800's only have 6 dials, where as 900's have 10. The amp everything is recorded on (if it's a Marshall) is most likely a JCM2000 though, since that's the more readily available Marshall in Japan.

Was about to post this myself, I've also been looking at these things. Push comes to shove I can just replace the knobs and it's pretty much show-accurate, just cheaper. And, hell, it's already as close as it gets without that.

[@hollyc5417]

theyve been doing those for months but they're still very much built in several ways like an epiphone. the scarf joint and how the binding continues from the neck to the headstock is very much not like a gibson, not to mention the difference in trussrod and the cover.

[@guitarhampter]

@@hollyc5417 the truss rod cover is obvious, I kind of assumed the fret ends would not be bound, it's the scarf joint that's surprising. Their announcements made a very big deal of the "one piece neck" thing, implying the contrary. But I haven't actually had my hands on any of the new pricey Epiphones so all my info is secondhand. Apparently the retailers in my country don't even have any of these yet. As for the whole binding situation I'm only familiar with Standards - and they obviously don't have headstock binding at all edit: I just had a look and I see what you mean, the way they do the binding on the Epiphones really looks like a scarf joint, the Gibson binding looks just uninterrupted.

[@MarkusFortius]

Hey! I can’t find the info about it! Can you share it please?

[@ImnotgoingSideways]

I got a lefty version of this back in 2020 and totally love it. I have 8 other guitars of varying build and quality. It quickly became my favourite one to play. Seeing it show up in Bocchi was a huge OMG moment for me. What drives me nuts, though, is that she gig-bags the thing. In spite of the price, the neck and headstock are practically designed to fail. The angles they're set in makes it as play-able as can be, but puts them very precarious position for anything less than a totally form fitted hardshell. Mine was made with the "original" non-relief body which weighs in at a hefty 9.8lb. I can't imagine the average gig-bag holding up to that kind of weight for very long.

yeah there's no way I'd be setting it down on the pavement too like she does xD

Great video, love the guitar. The effect pedals were as you mentioned a bd2, rat(older one, newer ones are angled) and boss ms3(effects switcher but also has built in effects which Bocchi uses that's where the rotary and delay sounds come from). But I think the amp is jcm900 and not jcm800 because the one we see in the anime has more knobs(like the jcm900).

Well spotted! I don't have any experience with amps so I wasn't 100% sure with the shot being not entirely accurate in the anime of the amp

I was under the impression that it was a 57 custom. I absolutely want to play as good as this some day. Currently rocking an Epi Studio in Alpine white but if I got good enough to justify a $6k guitar, I'd certainly choose this one.

And for all us poor people 😂 MSA VISION guitars have a very similar looking Les Paul style model LSG3 (except the pickguard is cream ivory) for $130 and HB (Harley Benton / Thomann) has the exact same looking model named "SC-500 BK Vintage Series" for under $170 (I'd go with the HB, have several copies from them - one in the Telecaster style, one in PRS style, one Gibson DC Junior style, some from their own creations - they always have exceptional QC and value for money - on par with the top tier Epiphone, which I also have as a Les Paul style and are just a tad under the lesser Gibsons, highly recommended)

I recently started learning guitar didn't watch bocchi till 3 days ago and will say it definitely just made me want to practice which is cool

[@kenjikodai]

id love to say Bocchi made me pick up the guitar again and continue learning from where I left off but Metalocalypse is the reason I'm doing it lol, I will say I freakin love Les Pauls tho and I was close to getting back into it when I saw her rocking one

The prices of the Gibson Ebony Customs are miserable considering a flame-maple top Gibson, Heritage, or Gretsch can be had for around half. I still want one, of course.

Got myself the epiphone les Paul custom and have to say its worth it. Sounds and feels amazing. Cant tell Something better in its price range imo. Up to 1000 bucks with a nice hard case and you can even get the Gibson Pickups. Sure other companys make also pretty good guitars in that price range but this one feels just perfect 😅

I mean She started playing guitar during her first year of middle school which is around 12, now she is 16. She doesnt do anything else other than going to sch and staying at home playing that guitar. 4 years of lifting that heavy guitar, she is definitely JACKED

I love the bocchi's guitar tone it sounds so cool

[@elijahlingzhaozhong6398]

I started guitar because of Bocchi the Rock and wanted a Yamaha Pacifica at first, but settled first with a Squier Stratocaster then a Fender Stratocaster after some months. Now I am liking my Stratocaster. (I still want a Les Paul in a future though). 😄😄
