Until today I never had a problem with not being a musician and not being able to play an instrument. This guitar really makes me regret this condition for the first time in my life. And the design-oriented guy in me does not make this circumstance any better and screams at me out of joy when he sees this work of art in such detail. My deepest respect goes to the lovely Ms. Kobato and the creators at Zemaitis for this outstanding work! And of course congratulations to you on this very special piece. 🤘🏻🕊️ 【 'Pigeons will save the world.' - cluppo / Miko Kobato】

Miku is so tiny they should pack her in there, too, and have her help with the unboxing. Sexy guitar, congrats.

The only trouble with that is there is only One Miku and over 50 Flappy Pigeons

Honestly, a rock hall induction does not carry the validation that it used. A better name would be the pop culture hall of fame. Band Maid is too good for them. I live about 50 miles from that hall of jokes.

[@greatd6030]

So beautiful.

[@markberry9233]

Beautiful guitar. Lots of hidden/subtle content too - the whole metal pick guard is one giant pigeon; beak is the sharp edge facing upwards, eye is the circle right below that, and feathers are the leaves. Also, the bottom of the inlaid leaves spells something out in Japanese characters (Po, if I remember correctly).

[@sjnix7044]

I'm working on a deep dice video currently covering all of that as well as the tech specs. :)

[@R2robot]

Congrats! That thing is amazing! I had no idea the artwork on the back was inlaid, I thought it was a stencil. I love it even more now. I kinda wish she would have picked ebony for the fretboard, but either way, the rosewood is so pretty.

[@sjnix7044]

The fretboard on Miku's original is ebony. Not sure why they did it that way but I love the color on mine.

I knew that but the thing I DIDN'T know, was that the outer ring of engraving on the plate were pigeons. I remember her saying there was 55 pigeons on the guitar and thinking "where?" Now that I can see it up close, they jump out at you.

[@nihon-daisuki8673]

I must be living under a rock, was this a one-time special by BAND-MAID? If anyone can explain I would appreciate it, thank you kindly!

[@sjnix7044]

Miku and Zemaitis collabed on a signature model for her. There were only 50 made and were a Japanese release only (though Zemaitis USA ended up with two that went to a wait list). The retail before tax was about $3800. Several have made it to the US. I personally know of 6 plus mine that are in the states. There were a few still floating around Japan up until about two weeks ago but all the Ebay and Zen Market listings are gone. I don't expect to see one on the open market any time soon but when they DO come up, I'm guessing it will be about $7000+ to obtain one.

[@nihon-daisuki8673]

@@sjnix7044 that's amazing and my god. I used to play instruments but never the guitar, but for this I would be interested to learn thanks to Miku and BAND-MAID. Thank you for taking the time to explain to the history of this beautiful guitar.

[@andrewrussell9653]

Where did you order the flappy pigeon?

[@sjnix7044]

it was a limited run. Originally it was supposed to be 50 guitars. Then, they released another 30 (which pissed off those who got one of the original 50). There are still a few out there but it will cost above $5000 right now. Just search Flappy Pigeon on Ebay or Zenmarket. Just be warned there are several offered up but it is really only one or two actual guitars. Those guys don't actually have that guitar, they just know what shop it is in. They are basically scalpers looking to make $1000.

The guitar is “kuruppo,” while the new Kobato project is “cluppo.” And howJapanese it it; unable to differentiate pronunciation “R” from “L.” Or maybe this is another April fool joke from her and Zemaiis.

Miku plays the rhythm guitar in BAND-MAID. Why do you say "can not play guitar"?

[@johnp.johnson1541]

@@yikunshao4627 If you played guitar, you would know why. Kobato hardly can play. Signature guitars usually get made because the guitarist is among the best all-time, e.g., Yngwie Malmsteen. No maker of guitars would consider making a Kanami Tono signature guitar. Yet, she is the better of the two guitarists in her band, by far. Good luck!

[@yikunshao4627]

@@johnp.johnson1541 I think her skill is enough for play the rhythm part in her band. But I know what you mean. Owners of signature models need to have something like great technical or huge musical stylistic influence. Thanks for your reply.
