She recently bought a special Gibson Flying V made from a special wood for something like USD 8,000 on credit. She made a video about it. (The viewers contributed about a thousand bucks via comments.) As far as I know, all electric guitars (except possibly the cheapest knockoffs) are made of wood, and guitarists can get pretty anal about which wood they prefer. Les Paul was a famous guitarist and luthier (guitar maker) in the mid 20th century, and Gibson sells his design. You'll recognize the shape; it's famous; Les Paul invented it. Gibson guitars are about as expensive for a big brand as it gets.

Miyako has excellent but expensive taste...Miyako's V was made from Korina wood, which in of itself is not a big deal. What makes her guitar expensive is it's a 1958 reissue made by the Gibson custom shop to the exact specifications of the original, which is a rare guitar.

Miyako's guide here is a designer for Ovaltone effects pedals and also supplies electronic mods for Miyako's guitars.

Thank you for the explanation. I really thought they used something else than wood for electric guitars... I'm learning.

[@ChadTheDragonLord]

This is a hidden gem by them. One of their best that few people talk about. Phenomenal performance.

[@xsezz]

For sure! Loved it!

Miyako and all Lovebites members doesn't looks like metal at all when outside in daily live. So casual and lovely 👍😍

[@xsezz]

Yeah, you can't judge a book by its cover.

Some of the things that people also miss on here.. at 3:58 to 4:11, they are standing in front of the 8-string custom ISAO signature model ESP. Isao was one of the guitarists that made up the Kami band for Babymetal after Mikio Fujioka passed away. The headless guitar at 6:07 I believe is one of the models that Leda Cygnus plays (he's also a Kami from Babymetal). And the 4 guitars behind the guy.. 2 of them are the Mikio Fujioka signature model ESP Snapper, while the 3 pink ones (the headstocks and the one to the top left) are Pink Chan - ESP Signature model for Takayoshi Ohmura, whom both Ohmura and Fujioka are Kami.

Btw.: K-On is really a fun anime to watch, at least i really love it 😄🤘🏼

[@xsezz]

I've never seen it...

As you've started to run out of LOVEBITES linked videos I hope you're going to do Miyako's latest where she talks herself into buying a limited edition Gibson V for 1,350,000 yen.

[@xsezz]

Cool, thank you, I'll check it out!

65k holy crap! This one was a lot of fun! 🤘 Miyako recently released a video of her buying a Gibson V on her channel. It was around 10k and she had to get a loan for it. Here is the link - kzbin.info/www/bejne/jYbLn4WGnKuaqrcsi=ikNeTfIDr8n1S5la

[@xsezz]

Yeah, this was fun! I know... you can buy a sick car with that kind of money! Thank you for the link, I'll check it out!

A sick car will cost you at least $100.000 @@xsezz

[@obud3777]

Miyako just bought a Gibson Flying V Korina for $10.000 Dollar !

[@xsezz]

Damn!

[@ericifune5543]

She had to take out a four year loan to get it.

[@obud3777]

@@ericifune5543 Yes, that’s true, but with zero interest for her!

[@beldin2987]

Most guitars are still of wood. There are a few that are made of carbon fiber, best known maybe the Ovation Adamas guitars ( kzbin.info/www/bejne/hHuze5trd6-Feas ). But it are mostly even accoustic guitars, i only recently saw also a carbon e-guitar. And when you search here on KZbin it seems there are quite a few, but still most electrics are still wood.

Cool, thank you!
