I went to Ochanomizu back in the Winter of 09' as well...that place completely blew my head off, as I've never seen a street dedicated to guitar before...I was literally in heaven. Would have bought myself a proper Japanese ESP too...if my family were there and I didn't ditch them to find this magical place. Great guitar man, hope you cherish it for the rest of your life.
@leoseanster Thanks mate yeah I love this axe. I went back in January this year and bought an RGR1220 which is pretty badass as well. In New Zealand we barely have any guitar stores.
@nzSkitzo Tell me about it man, I'm currently studying in Melbourne and the few guitar stores that are available here suck-ass compared to Ochanomizu. I might make a trip down there again this December to finally get an ESP or another Ibanez. Japanese guitars are superbly made, possibly better than the American ones in my opinion.
@leoseanster Couldn't agree more, went there in fall '09 - made 48th St look like an alleyway. It was like landing on a planet populated exclusively by hot girls - which is what most of the guitars there were! Nice purchase, nzSkitzo - hope you rock that J Custom for all its worth! Japanese ESPs (old style neck-throughs), Kramers and Jacksons - the old school stuff just kicks.
very interesting!!
