Famous K-ON! goods maker Fender has announced an Evangelion collaboration, with Ayanami Rei themed ita-guitars set for release.
The guitars, both featuring Ayanami Rei, are set for auction on the 1st of December, with a high price looking likely thanks to the notoriously indiscriminate purchasing patterns of hardcore otaku – Fender in particular have benefited from the position their products enjoy in moe blob hit K-ON!.
Fans will doubtless be wondering where their Asuka is…
Specifications for the guitars can be seen at Fender’s site. Via ITmedia.

Shave of that Rei pic, leave Nerv and Longinus alone, and you have an epic Evangelion Guitar. Though it's still a Fender...
I think the guitar is much suited for the fiery Asuka than the boring rei. Rei can have the piano.
String through stratocaster. Its not only a novelty, I do see people getting this for reasons other than that.
The inlays are awesome. Would have been better if it only had the inlay and something like a pinstripe which hinted evalangaleon.
I wonder how many SC readers actually play guitar? I play a black Dean '79 series Z
I do, but i only got a standard acoustic guitar and a very old red fender stratocaster (w/ a double white stripes design) that was just given to me - this one's too old for its condition you cannot use it anymore so i'm only displaying it in my room).
yuck deans.
Get Your Wings Buy A Dean
My main guitars are a 1991 Ibanez RG550(Maple/DY) and a 2008 RG1570SDB. I would buy this if I had the cash.
Holy Shit! Do Want!...oh yeah by the way I actually do play guitar.
Just gave me another reason to hate Fender.
And another reason why you should stick with Ibanez...
Love Ibanez, a friend of mine has one and it plays like a dream. I'm more of a Gibson and PRS kinda guy though.
As my friend said about it "why does the Telecaster is called the Stratocaster? Is it because of teh Rei?"
Really? Nobody else gets that joke? I am disappoint :(
I get it the telecaster and the stratocaster are two different models of guitars the joke just wasnt funny
It wasn't even a joke. The guitar shown above is actually a Telecaster. But it's labelled as a Stratocaster
Nice guitars! By the way, PS3 rules, Xbox sucks!
u fat
Beautiful otaku guitars~ <3
To be honest I think it looks like shit.
Awesome fretboard, to bad there isn't a bass guitar version since I play the bass. I wonder how expensive it would be to get the Lance of Longius painted on my fretboard...
Even if I bought it, I wouldn't know what to do with it. I doubt anyone would want to go through the hell of me playing a guitar. >_> <__>
I think they should give both Rei and Asuka a guitar, seeing as they were both equally as important, Fender shouldnt have singled her out...they probably will make an Asuka guitar, which would be awesome...until you reach the point of choosing which one you want...then you're screwed!
Now all we need is dutch wife with anime characters
Gitah?
Wow, really stylish without looking too geekish. I wouldn't mind buying one since my next purchase is going to be a stratocaster. And that inlay on the fretboard is really cool.
Well, it may look cool now but there is no way you could rock out on that. It would confuse your rock n' roll boner...
I think it's just amazing that Fender would make something like this. Unique to say the least.
Has anyone seen what the paint job looks like on the back of this guitar yet?
Dibs on the Telecaster...
OH WOW, i really want that, and i don't care for fender guitars that much. The lance of longinus pearloid fret inlay is soo cool.
NOW i have a reason to learn to play guitar
I would want this but I see no point...I wouldnt be able to show it to the world so whats the point...I rather spend that money on mio's headphones
As long as you only buy one set and not six then it's fine.

I don't want one.
I don't play guitar. But if I did and I had some extra cash I would get it.
oohhh want. i could use a new guitar
I would love to own this if only it was Asuka and not Rei...Still want
I might not know how to play a guitar but I must own this.
"Anta Baka"
Cool looking, but since i myself don't play guitar or have the money, I will skip this.
Evangelion's instruments of choice are the violin and chello.
As Asuka would say, "Anta baka?!"
We need Haji's cello.
a cello with haji printed on it? dont think so
I would buy an Asuka violin actually
I'd buy a pair of her panties.
Wait, wut?
Buying goods for novelty makes me sad.
You make me sad.
I am a sad person.
my monster cock is too big, can't play :(
I'm gonna play that with my dick!
but what does buying goods for usage make u?
Sad?

Isn't almost every good bought for novelty? I mean really, how many of the things anyone, including you, owns that we really need?
Depends where you draw the line of need.

I would say things you buy to supply you with the bottom tier are most likely needs. Although you could then argue that it's possible to supply those needs without using money.
Such an awesome fret board, too poor to buy though... :(
Indeed the fretboard is awesome, especially seeing as it looks like its inlaid into the board, not just some sticker overlay. Too bad everything else pales in comparison...and Rei's eye creeps me out.
FENDER DOES NOT USE STICKERS ON FRETBOARDS. What are you thinking? You can always get everything painted over, except the neck, if paintjob on guitar body does not suit your tastes. If you want to paint the guitar body yourself, dont forget to unmount all hardware & neck and mask all the openings before you get loose with spray paint.
Lance of Longinus on fretboard is so epic the universe is gonna break!
Shredding on the Lance of Longinus... how much more Metal can it get?
Strats and teles aren't meant for metal... dumbshit.
What are you guys stupid? Strats and Teles are totally metal. Iron Maiden plays all Fenders, Strats. The Rhythm guitarist in Slipknot plays a Tele. And Kirk Hammett loves Strats, why do you think his KH series from ESP are Strat look-alikes, not to mention he also has a plexiglass Tele he uses as well. Kids like you who think ESP and EMG = Metal are exactly why so much crappy metal is coming out now. Oh, and Alder? Really? That's cheap wood companies use in lower-end guitars. Mahogany with Ebony fretboards baby.
Ever heard of a company like ESP?
Alder body+humbucker = metal... dumbshit.
If anymore metal were to invest its' self on this piece of masterwork the universe would crack, the Lance of Longinus would fall from orbit and smite all non believers
yeah the fretboard wins.....too bad the rest is pretty lame.....but then again these types of customizations aren't really known for being subtle and classy.
+1
These guitars are just horrible, save for the fretboard.
But it's not a Gibson EB 0 D:
Type 01?????? Type 00!
Dammit Id buy this if I could afford it.
This Is Definitively Something To Looking Into
Nice. Like the spear of longinus.
~ Legendary
if only i cud play the Guitar maybe i cud have a coconut instead
Finally a chance to finger Rei's G-string!
That was actually funny ;-D
Nice one.
Indeed. I stiffled a laugh. But it was done in a good style
Would only be epic if it was a GENDO IKARI guitar!
Scenario doori
When Rei and Electric guitars collide, the song Arue from Bump Of Chicken rings out..
I bet Fujiwara is going to buy this :3
I'd get one if it was Yuki Nagato instead xD
Rei stratocaster+lance of longinus fretboard=GUITAR PWNAGE How come I always like the characters in anime series are the emotionless looking ones? Rei from Eva,Yuki from Haruhi,That quiet green haired bitch with no tits from Lucky Star, Nana from chaos;HEAD anyone got an answer? ............. I hate the bitchy type leads
Looks pretty badass.
