As I have previously said in other posts, HIDEKI used to personalize his favorite guitars on his own by painting or simply adjusting to his extravagant fashion taste .The public had long admired his famous guitars which once with HIDEKI have become part of his living legend.
Sometime in 2011 , Fernandez the company who produced HIDEKI's famous guitars had agreed with the Head Wax company to re-edit a real success. The set of HIDEKI's loved guitars was reproduced again under another display but keeping the original design. So " it come to life" a box-set of 6 lovely reproductions of HIDEKI's instruments on a scale of 1/8 , as I present them here in the order of appearence of the original guitars in HIDEKI's closed LOL :).
Fernandez Burney MG-X - hand painted by HIDEKI , this guitar is as you guessed a signature guitar in all the ways, the original guitar was autographed by HIDEKI after finishing painting and varnish it .
This guitar model is Burney -MG-SW and "SW" comes from "Snow White" HIDEKI name it like this because he want it completely white, tough he wasn't much fun of white mostly preferring "live colors" he didn't chose his guitar in that color by chance, when we talk about HIDEKI all it has a mystical symbolism and a hidden meaning. The next guitar is model Burney -MG-LD , it comes is a beautiful "twetty bird" yellow color and was named...you guess Lemon Drop (it seems there was always a very tight connection between HIDEKI and Lemons... LMFAO )
The next model is Burney MG-CS also known as the Cherry Sunburst guitar due to the lovely color, I love so much how it sounds "Cherry Sunburst" that I imagine HIDEKI playing one of his songs using it...something like..."Tell Me" let's say
Next...the beautiful green over here is another signature model special created for the Psyence a GO GO , yes you've guessed we're talking about the Burney MG-PS Science model. isn't that a beauty.
And now we get to the legendary Yellow Heart or LEMONed Heart guitar, basically when you think about HIDEKI, the first thing coming in your mind is an yellow font with red hearts on it, doesn't matter you picture in your mind the guitar itself or you associate the yellow-red-hearten background with HIDEKI's image in your mind, the result is the same. As years have past we reach to identify HIDEKI's memory with that image which become his visual signature in our hearts and minds. Here it is, the "Queen" of his guitar collection as I love to call it...the Fernandez Burney MG-YH model guitar .
HIDEKI was very innovative person and very much in trend with the new technology, he was committed to offer the best sound, he never quit practicing his gigs and by the default modesty never pretended he was the best ever. In his perpetual search for alternative way to offer a quality play with best sound ever he requested from Fernandez a hybrid guitar which was special modified and doted with sound switchers for amplifying the sound and resonance, you could say for example that this guitar is the ancestor of Hizaki's Rose Maiden (Versailles super guitarist...my other secret lover...well not that secret since I pester him around wherever can find him). This stunning guitar comes in black, simplicity is what HIDEKI liked the most tough he was an walking paradox in all the ways...and yes I would have said the same thing if he was alive and standing in front of me right now, we'd probably end up fighting and kicking each other, but in the end we'd be friends...we're too much alike in some aspects not to notice we're bit different but to be perfectly fine with that :) . I will post again my precious Cherry Sunburst , it is so amazing how was so detailed reproduced at the small scale in such an artistically way. I love it !
This collection I've presented you above it comes with a "secret" guitar. It is little known to the public that while HIDEKI was still alive he actually requested from Fernandez another prototype Hybrid guitar the model is called Burney HR- Hybrid "Reverse" Prototype . Due to HIDEKI's sudden disappearance from among us, the "Reverse" guitar had never become the 7th of his guitar collection and never reached to become a part of HIDEKI's shows. The miniature was released by Fernandez as homage for HIDEKI as if honoring his last tool request, Ikind of become very sentimental when seeing it...maybe cause I'm such a crying baby LOL.
Later on were released other editions of same guitars presented above, this time being at a 1/6 scale they are a bit more realistic as the ones offered to us by Fernandez and the price is pretty good as well if I'm not wrong it was 3800 Jpy for each of them and they were each one released separately. Here it is as a compassion the new 1/6 scale guitar beside the 1/8 scale original Fernandez release. It is up to you to decide which one you'd love adding to your collection. Thank you for reading, and I await for you back soon :) , cheers !
