ESP Shinigami Custom V

This has probably been posted before, but I did a search and nothing came up.

Anyway, today I was looking at the custom shop section of the ESP website and I saw this:

After a little searching a came across a bit more information...

ESP are well known for their crazy creations out of their Custom Shop but how about this one to kick off 2008! The Shinigami, it reminded me of the Masaki Kyomoto Special also from ESP. Unfortunately there are no details currently available for the Shinigami but I will update this post as and when information comes in.

UPDATE: Shinigami first appeared on the header bar of ESP Japan site in December. It was produced by the Craft House. The guitar is likely to retail at over $20,000!

Hmmm. I can see it's appeal as a novelty. But not much else.
What's the body made from?

Not my thing at all, especially at the price!

Umm... It's... One of its kind..?

I'll admit, if I was a high end endorsee like Hammet, I would definitely have one made for me. Sans the skull in the middle. Instead I'd have useful pups.

They should have made the heatstock all crazy like the body, looks out of place. Guitar art pfft!

It's an art piece, not really meant to be played. As art it is pretty impressive. I dig it a lot, very cool.

Peace

The work that had to go into making that is nuts. It's an art piece, not to play. Looks cool but it's not for me.

It was posted, for me it's a piece of art, looks cool, but what about playability
