Even if the manga and anime are done with for now, the notorious mania of K-ON! fans for high priced guitars has reached the usual frenzied levels, with an Azunyan guitar bearing the signatures of all 5 seiyuu reaching ¥5,081,000 in mere days.
Such auctions have a certain reputation for attracting spurious bids, and indeed there are some fresh accounts bidding improbably high amounts for the instrument – however, there are accounts in high standing bidding as much as ¥3,000,000, so a high price seems inevitable.
The guitar itself was originally laid on by Lawson as part of their highly successful efforts to part otaku from their none too closely held shekels.
Although perhaps a step up from buying 1,000 copies of the same CD, online the prices the guitar is fetching are fuelling the usual scepticism about the shopping habits of otaku, and especially K-ON! fans.

lol, i'm imagining a white person who's crying while on fucking SANKAKU COMPLEX, because he can't understand why K-ON is popular, and why he was born white XD
仕方がない。
hey, don't make fun of me just because i'm frustrated that i was born white.
Somehow, a mere 5,000,000円 for a guitar signed by the seiyuu themselves doesn't seem that much. I mean, that's anime history right there.
agreed, i bet the guy selling it is gonna regret it.
Except, within a few years, nearly everyone will have forgotten about K-on, as they do with practically every anime, and the guitar will be worth significantly less. The person selling it sees this, and is offloading it before its value has a chance to plummet. :3
K-on's gonna be forgotten.
and civilization hits another low...
>anime history
oh please..
i'm sorry, let me rephrase that: Japanese anime history.
white "localized" anime has its own history, naruto, pokemon etc.
Anime History... april fools was long past its due date, guy o:
That's probably the only post-1970 guitar in the world that's worth that much.
Both Fender and Gibson, plus some famous luthiers are making new guitars today costing 15.000 USA Dollars and more. Custom Shop piece, anyone wants?
This Fender Mustang Made in Japan has original price of 80.000 Yen, so those signatures are worth a lot.
Muttan
Moe in guitar form.
that gives me a great idea for a new manga...
Relic status achieved.
rejected by their fellow white people because all the stuff they like is asian. rejected by asian people because their skin is pasty white.
they truly live miserable lives.
don't forget molested by koreans when they were young, and forever being buttfrustrated by that.
You can buy a new Fender Mustang for 1 grand. You can buy a true vintage one for 3-4 grand.
Surely, a motivated fan could pay the Seiyuu $10,000 each to meet them - probably less than that - and get their autographs.
You would end up spending less money, and have a truly personalized bit of memorabilia.
A rather "ordinary" Fender Jaguar is not that valuable. Heck, you can get one for $300.
It's a mustang
at least, it's supposed to be.
It has been modded. Bridge and tremolo are swapped to Fender Jazzmaster/Jaguar parts.
not only do they get Azusa'a autograph, but Kirino's as well.
well, she signed it as 中野梓 (nakano azusa)...
Only K-ON! die hard fanboys will buy this.
Actually, i'd rephrase that title into "Rich guys who are bored not dead yet"
Hey, If i could afford it I'd buy it...
And then I'd play all the K-ON! songs with it! :)
I'd buy it, then take video of me destroying it and burning its remains.
Somehow i do not wonder you don`t plan to play it. Too difficult for destructive idiots with more money than sesnse?
Attention whore.
Screw video, take it to summer comiket and then destroy it there. THEN upload the reaction video on youtube.
idk, attracting attention at a big event is like begging to be trampled.
Nah, you don't have the money nor the balls to do just that, faggot.
They got no guts.
buy it, ntr millions of azunyan fans by jizzing on it
I BET YOU'VE NEVER DONE THIS TO IT BEFORE HAHAHA
Go read SanCom's old articles again. There are several Otaku related murders. Surely one otaku from a comiket crowd is crazy and rabid enough that he has guts to kill people.
Prepare to die from an angry mob of K-On fans...
What!!!???! To destroy a Les Paul is EVIL! Kitten-killing EVIL! If you wanna burn a guitar, it must be a FENDER!!!
@10:33 I don't know about that guy, but I'd rather burn a Fender or even a Gibson over an Ibanez anytime.
That is a Fender, you nitwit. It's a Fender Mustang, the kind Azusa plays.
And no, if you burn a guitar, burn a fucking Ibanez.
i wish i could of bought that guitar for like 65,000 dollars. if i could pay for that then i'd at least be a trillionaire before considering paying an absurd amount for a guitar
...trillionaire? really?
I feel that they should keep K-on! going in the form of an OVA produced every year or so (I also feel the same way about Lucky Star and Haruhi). All three of these ended in very open ways - it won't be that hard to pen additional stories.
you're probably one of those people who hasn't even realized that the lucky star manga has continued for 5 volumes with its girls in college...
I thought at first that the price in title is in Yen. I thought "800 bucks? I'd buy that myself".
But then I read the rest.
FFFFFFFFFFFFFUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU-
since when is the anime done for?
There are still 2 seasons coming
And thus you shall buy the power to play azunyan pieces, masterfuly like the bearded man behind it.
People bidding on it probably don't know howto play a guitar but whos to blame them? :p
if you're buying this guitar to play it, you're doing it WAY wrong...
nice looking guitar would be better if it had the girls painted on it
