Music Shops Leap onto K-ON! Bandwagon

Can someone rewatch ep 1 of K-on! and watch near the end of the anime. What brand Yui brought? She brought a Epiphone Les Paul Standard, Not a Gibson/ Epiphone Guitar is own by Gibson, just Epiphone is cheaper but have some guitar that are the same style as a Gibson. Why do people still say it a Gibson..arghhhh!

You know, once a character from K-ON has sex, something that's almost inevitable (lol yeah right) considering that its a rock band, I wonder what the otaku are going to be doing with those instruments.

It would be a damn shame to see perfectly serviceable instruments go to waste if the work themselves up into a shitstorm and start smashing everything K-ON related.

i wanna see if someone buys them.

"Come the Revolution,guitars will be taken from those who just collect them and given to those who play them."

My drummer is fa**ing on k-on drums

those instruments would stink with fap trace after the otakus bought it....

need ita violin! (any?)

Of course they wont buy a random guitar that's not in the anime! Only buy the real thing Otakus! The real ones! ^_______^

yeah this is pretty crass but... if they paint a mio on the headstock of one of the basses i'm ordering one.

I still go for the Flying V of Legend of Black Heaven Gabe Tanaka. Micheal Shenker and John Sykes are still old time favs.

the less awkward term would be "orgiastic consumerism".
this is the holy grail of capitalism! the creation of demand out of nothing! fuck you properuseofguitarfags!

But Yui plays Gibson Les Pauls! not Cheap knock offs!

GIBSONS SUCK BALLS. Seriously their pieces of crap. Most of the japanese "copies" of gibson's guitars exceed them in playability, value and quality. Then again the Gibsons in Japan are usually made by the japanese branch.

Apart from the japanese stuff, US made Gibsons suck. They dont stay in tune, and they just have appaling quality.

If I got one of the instruments from the show I'd definitely play it rather than just put it on display. I've actually been considering it, too. I've been thinking about learning bass guitar for years (I've played tuba and baritone since I was 8), so even though it'd be a cheaper version, and probably right-handed, I'd try and get a bass that looks like Mio's. ^_^ That is, as long as the K-On boom hasn't affected American music store prices as well...

"a perverse display of consumeristic onanism"

Aaaaand that's one for the quote archive. Funniest thing I've seen today.

So now otakus can fap all day long with a guitar, a bass, a drum, and a keyboard. I wonder how they're gonna do that. I mean, yea, guitar is okay, but keyboard?

Ah, the power of brainwashing....

Buyers should consider, whether or not they will be using the instruments loyally before purchasing...

though most otakus will buy it for display purposes only

I hate Les Paul

SG forever !!!

sigh.... wish an otaku wud buy a guitar for me.... it'd be a total waste to just put a perfectly good guitar on display...

hahahaha... but how many of them will buying that instrument and play with it rather keep it for display only...

You should also be able to bargain for a really low price.

Moar K-ON!

What I need is a god damn K-On Drum set.

Lawl What's this? :P

The world is filled with idiots.
Well, in the view of the crisis consumeristic onanists in Japan will be more interested in finding something edible in several years, cause Japan is in "dead zone", having no resourses, declining GDP and money kept in US obligations.

lol japanese businessmen are quick to take advantage of this as expected~

as expected
damn opportunists...

Yahhhhh trying to market guitars that have like 0 resemblance to the ones shown in the show is very much fail. Don't expect them to sell much from this kind of advertisement...

well it not sell well because every otaku idiot already buy one even before the anime launch!

only guitars and bass?? hey,,where's the keyboard!!?? this is conspiracy!!!
