Trip to Japan pics

[threeminutesboy]

ok guys so today was a bank holiday in Japan and I had a chance to visit the Guitar district in Tokyo (still have to go to the shop that Hiro recommended though)

this is what I have found (BP was right huge amount of EBMM)

Lots of Silo and Silo Specs

with floyds

I have tried a Silhouette (regular HSH with 24 fret) hardtail. I want one

They also had tones of Axis

note that I found Trans pink Axis Trans Black and Trans purple brand new and looks like new production (hope you can see that on the photo)

and a splatted

below the Axis were the morse and the JP (sorry forgot to take a picture)

I have seen at least 3 Dargie II JP in 3 different store

I have tried a Y2D for the second time, I want one two

some Luke as well

Some nice seconds hands as well

Natural EVH

and a faded Axis

At last but not least, the one I bought

J/K if you can read the tag it was not for sale

more to come, if I have a chance to visit the store recommended by Hiro

I was really like a kid in a candy store

Impressive! Thanks for sharing TMB.

Very Cool, wish stores around here carried half that inventory.............that one axis spalted looks very similar to the top on my JP.

 

[bbake1]

WOW !!! That must have been awesome. Thanks for sharing.

Maybe this is a stupid observation, but I just find it interesting that stores in the US have an abundance of guitars made in Japan - while Japan stores appear to have an abundance of guitars made in the US...

That's very cool, it's just too bad stores in the US don't ALL look like this!

Very nice photos. Are you on holiday over there or is it a business trip?

 

[beej]

Jesus! That is some amazing stock.

 

[HiroD]

This shop is the Japanese dealer direct management shop.
The shop which I introduce seems to sell Luke Guitar most in the world.
Please please enjoy it.

OMG, were those Silo Specials with Floyds! That one store has more Balls than all 5 NY GC's combined! Thanks for sharing bro, those were really cool pics!

That's Japan. Abundance of everything, you just got to have the cash

Amazing stock!! Looks like almost as many EBMMs as F'ing has.

Wow I have never seen a selection like that. MikeVt I loved the point you brought up as it definitely rings true to me.lol Also Funny that I live in NY where it is not uncommon to get shot over a parking space yet I have never been in a guitar store that had the headstock locked to the guitar hangar. I always figured Japan as a low crime peaceful place.lol
