If you're not into guitars you wouldn't understand but let me tell you that Bocchi the rock is so big that it's making the Yamaha Pacifica a hard to find, hot selling guitar.

A Yamaha guitar is flying off the shelves. This has never happened before.

I played one the one time I found it in guitar center. Clean action, the fret board is a little wide, considering it's going for the stratocaster market and it's got a really well balanced trem system. Sounds good, plays well, would be easy to come by...but Bocchi.

I'm letting my guitar rot in a closet so that it has a more authentic grunge sound later

for a TRUE grunge sound i recommend blowing your brains out with a shotgun

It was murder

Just buy used.

Ow, the edge.

No it wasn't. Courtney was in California at the time.

I just want to clarify that the version I used had a two screw trem, not a six screw, pic related. Yeah, Bocchi plays a six screw pacifica (Which I think is restrained and overkill).

all the bocchi guitars are hot now

Yeah. But that's just proof of success. Nobody seems to be out there scouring for an ESP star because it was in Bang Dream!

Which is a little sad, because it is a cute guitar.

Not for me, though. I'd want the full explorer shape without the back end cutaway.

Weren't there lots of stories in Japan at the time of airing of people returning guitars because they'd buy them and try them out for a few days or weeks and then give up and return them?

Yeah. A gift! They subsidized the prices for the real players who were getting like new axes at a preowned discount.

I'll say one thing, though, I don't care how popular Modesty Rock gets you won't see just about anybody with a pink PRS.

Not my style of guitar, either, I had a black one for like a month before I returned it. Something about the design is just off. Chonky frets and a fretboard in a weird zone halfway between fender and Gibson. Lukewarm feeling towards this guitar.

I've heard other guitars featured in Bang Dream were selling quite well back at the height of its popularity, no idea how true this is though.

Really? Well, now that I think about it, I'm sure it's possible.

We must blame the original sin for the inflated anime instrument market. Damn you, after school tea time.

Okay? Left-handed MIJ Fender Jazz Basses were hard to find beforehand because the world hates left-handed people

I can go OFF on lefty basses. Don't get me started.

Skill issue. The actress who plays this girl is a leftie who learnt to play right-handed so you can do the same

Before you fucks go dive into buying a guitar let me tell you check your fucking fingers if they are not slim and long its gonna cost you triple to learn to play. Its fucking hard as fuck. Bocchi is God of the guitar

I remember when K-ON first went viral, everyone wanted Yui's guitar, only to realize that it cost five fucking grand. Needless to say, it didn't become a popular Christmas present despite the ubiquity of the show.

Honestly, if you want to learn how to actually play music, you should buy a keyboard, not a guitar. Any composer worth a damn can play piano, while a guitar won't take you far, it's a cute toy at best if you're a NEET like Bocchi.

Are guitars older than keyboards? Japan is very traditional and wants to live in the 60s and 70s forever.

Electric keyboards (aka synthesizers) and electric guitars developed around the same time.

I'm an Ibanezfag that can shred like Vai so it's not my problem

the Yamaha Pacifica a hard to find, hot selling guitar

you can get them on sale all day every day

Make way for the king

Honestly, you don't necessarily have to buy anything to write music. There's a handful of free and open source programs that can more than pull their weight. I have a guitar and a keyboard, and most of the music I make is just clicking notes into a piano roll, though I do like recording guitar because it's so much more expressive. Dynamics, slides, bends, harmonics, dead notes... you can get a lot with guitar plugins, but working with the real thing in your hands is just so much more expressive. You really don't have to spend a lot of money on a guitar, though. I just use a Squier strat.

Why would anyone voluntarily choose to be Mark Knopfler?

Epiphone probably made a killing, though.

Ironic because Yoko Hikasa is a righty who learned lefty to perform live.

Make way for the grandpa. You know the telecaster almost never makes it out of country music unless it's a humbucker model. (Which rock, by the way)

Uhhh not trying to be an asshole but Yoko Hikasa has never played an instrument at a live in her career.

...Yeah. It was all an act.

What if I want bitches?

Tomo still hasn't fucking given it back

keep your ugly 3dcg shit somewhere else please

I seem to remember how a number of bocchi fans gave up playing the guitar because people find it too hard

Same thing happened with K-ON
Nothing ne w

This. The keyboard is the bread and butter of music and most importantly you can use it at home or anywhere without noise. You can buy a guitar later when you have more knowledge of music.

never getting it back

Nah
Pick up a low brass instrument instead. Guitars are too meta. Pianos are overplayed. A baritone or euph will make you special. Tuba if you're manly enough.

Probably because they go after too big material. You want to start off with Nevermind, Ramones, the three or four chord punk stuff, and some scales. Super easy to learn and fun.
