Yoshiki Signature Guitar

friday · **on:** June 19, 2008, 11:47:20 AM

Does anyone have any details about Yoshiki's signature guitar? Anything about the hardware etc or when it was (or is it still?) in production?

I find it rather amusing that he has his own signature line... I mean... Its not like you see a "B.C Rich Dave Lombardo Signature" or anything like that

He's got a signature guitar? Thats interesting..
I would have expected a YOSHIKI custom drum kit or piano or violin (what with all the string works he does : P) ahead of a guitar..

He has a custom drum kit and a custom piano

My memory is failing me here, but I believe it was made by Yamaha? There is a video on youtube of Yoshiki recording guitar on a Violet UK track - the guitar he is using to record with is the guitar in question

Thanks for the information. I'd be interested to see this signature guitar of his.

Sorry to revive an old topic, but I randomly found yoshiki's Fernandes Signature Guitar on the Official Fernandes Japanese website.
Looks like it is not in production anymore, so it should be quite expensive if someone actually sells one.

Looks to be the one he used to perform "X" with during the hide Memorial Summit a couple of years back.

Too bad it's just another cheap bc rich rip off..

Taiji played a fernandes warlock, hide a burny mockingbird and Yoshiki a burny bich (he can't even play the guitar).

A bit too much fake bc richness for me

do you have a pic of Taiji's warlock?

never seen it. btw, i saw Yoshiki's guitar on yahoo auction once, it was like 60 000 yens.

Wrong! Yoshiki can play the guitar too! Saw it on hide's memorial summit and also on youtube I saw him playing the guitar in his studio, but I don't remember which youtube link it was.

he does play at the end of the vid. He's not a great player but he can play some stuff ^^

He can but some people mean to say that he sucks at it.

(I have no opinion on the subject as I can't play any instruments.)

well, yoshiki is no hide, pata or sugizo, but he can play

@topic
too bad that it's just a rip-off... I thought it was more original........ thanks for the info wick

Yoshiki can also be seen playing guitar in this live where all the members change instruments for a performance of 20th Century Boy back in '92.

Yeah that's right hehe

Yoshiki is really good at piano and drums. Isn't that enough?! A signature guitar is too much for him...
It's fun he tries playing the guitar sometimes but not too often if you ask me

Taiji is a pretty good guitarist. I'll try to find some pics of his warlock.
Really fun though they're switching instruments.
