Gibson Les Paul

Okay,the picture above is Heritage Cherry Sunburst Gibson Les Paul Standard.The Gibson USA 2008 Les Paul Standard is an elegant revision of a true classic, with upgrades and new features that make it the best Les Paul Standard ever produced. Based on consumer feedback and a drive to uphold and enhance the legacy of the Les Paul Standard, Gibson USA’s 2008 model sets a new guitar benchmark for excellence and achievement.

Again,why am I posting this?
Oh,I know,somehow,this electric guitar caught my attention when I was watching K-ON!
The guitar above is the same guitar played by the main character in K-ON!,Hirasawa Yui.
Yui,first time seeing her guitar at music shop and attracted to it


Yui sleeps with her guitar
Yui playing dress up with her guitar
From left to right: Nakano Azusa (rhythm guitar), Hirasawa Yui (lead guitar), and Akiyama Mio (bass)
Yui is the main character, guitarist,and lead vocalist. Having misunderstood that "light music" equals "easy music" (like whistling), she joined the Light Music Club and picked up guitar with absolutely no prior experience. She is the type of person who doesn't read manuals and relies on her own intuition and self taught approaches. Yui takes good care of her electric guitar- Gitah (she named her guitar), she sleeps with it, plays dress up with it, and even also have tea time with it.Yui is clumsy but kind-hearted.

Now,let's move to the price.
From what I found (from the internet,Gibson pages),the electric guitar cost $3899.
Now,that's in US dollar.Change in ringgit Malaysia and it will cost you RM10000++.
Good guitar comes with expensive price.

Have a blessed day~^^

Fender Mustang

Okay,first of all,I want to make it clear that I don't know how to play electric guitar.In fact,I touched it only once when I went to music shop.
So,why am I posting this?
Haha~well,I've never play electric guitar before,but I do play an acoustic one.
Believe me,playing guitar bring so much fun in my awesome-filled life. >.<
The above picture is from Fender Mustang,(Classic Series Mustang®, Rosewood Fretboard, Dakota Red).It has been reissued.1965 was the first full year of Mustang production.
Originally,it was designed to be a “student model,” however,Mustang was destined for greatness, and has been used by great players such as David Byrne, John Frusciante, Kurt Cobain, Todd Rundgren, Graham Coxon and Adrian Belew.This reissue Classic Series ’65 Mustang has great color and cosmetic options, and many period-correct details (body wood, logos, etc.). 
It's beautiful,isn't it?I came across it when I watched the anime K-ON!. Nakano Azusa in the anime use the same guitar.
Azusa is a new student who joins the light music club and plays a Fender Mustang electric guitar.Her role in the band is as a rhythm guitarist. She has been playing the guitar since the fourth grade and her parents are working in a jazz band. She is in the same year and class as Ui and has quite a mysterious demeanor. 
 Hmm...how about the price?
The last time I checked(on the internet of course),the price is $1199.99.
Wow!Convert it to ringgit and the price will be triple.
Okay,have a blessed day everyone!
