Anime guitar, with a Typo on the neck, With the 69 serial number, and 420 bridge pickup god damn if this isn’t a collectors guitar I don’t know what is
Anime.... Japanese cartoons with sex created by virgin men that only have fantasy images of distorted feminine ideals... guys that never even seen a real female naked..
Jason Wise You not appreciating or not willing to understand the art form is, in fact, narrow. You straight up said anime is "gay." A dated insult for someone with dated taste (though old school cartoons are the foundation and there's no reason to diss them.) ua-cam.com/video/mdblUnP3b8M/v-deo.html
dude... an anime guitar, tele shape, bridge humbucker, serial 69 and pickups were made on 4/20?!?! best guitar ever made WTF HOW DID I GET 1,000 LIKES?!?!?!
I think the 'nunber' was deliberate. They made that error a long time ago early in Fender Japan, and those typo are now sought as rare and special. This may be an homage to that long ago legitimate 'english as not your language' error.
Oh, and "Serial Nunber" is an honest mistake. In Japanese, number is spelled like this: ナンバー so it's like 'nanba.' Plus, an innocent mistake adds to the value lol.
That and the fact that "nunber" is closer to how Japanese works, since you can't have the consonant 'm' before another consonant, but you can have ’ん' before a consonant。
@@michaelmoore7975 Right. More specifically, there is no 'm' or 'n' in Japanse. Then sound we attribute as 'n' is actually kinda in-between an M and an N. There is a 'ma mi mu me mo' and a 'na ni nu ne no' but as far as sounds in Japanese that sounds like a consonant without a voiced vowel sound, they only got ン, so they get by the best they can. It works well enough, so one of the only problems you can run into is stuff like the back of this tele headstock when an english word has to go back from Japanese to English. Presuming, of course, it wasn't just a straight typo.
It's a mistake commonly found throughout Japan--not only in this instance. They're just spelling it the way it's been adapted into the Japanese language. It sounds like that spelling in Japanese. Or maybe not? Because the anime reflects an imperfect universe, it could be an intentional imperfection. It could be an inside joke--a parody of this mistake being common throughout Japan. Or it could be an intentional Japanization of the word. In the end, very few Japanese would care. To the Japanese, it is probably no different from the American spelliing of "color" and the British spelling of "colour"--or "theater" and "theatre." Who's to say what's right or wrong? If these squiggles communicate something, that's all that's necessary, right? Oh, and hardly anyone gets fired in Japan. In Japan, you are given a chance to learn from your mistakes because the assumption is you will and that will make you a better employee. And you got #69? All you need is one rich hentai guitarist Evangelion fan and you could sell it for a million yen!
StP71 wood people write essays trying to find and discuss the meaning in the show. It’s _seriously_ messed up... there are very strong religious themes seemingly only because the writers found names in the bible to be interesting or nice-sounding, so they’ll mix around the meanings of everything which can seem disorienting at first for people in the west raised with Christianity. It does nothing to help trying to understand wtf is going on 😂
@@_C0KE everybody dies except the main protagonist and the girl, I wouldn't consider this a happy ending. The main series' ending is much happier no matter how you look at it.
Your playing has much improved over the year. The Serial Nunber and the pickup date actually makes it even more collectable. I've never heard of the show (my daughter probably has though.)
Evangelion is in Japan like Star Wars is in the west. It's absolutely *HUGE* , the show, the movies, all the shops and centres and stuff themed after Evangelion, the merchandise, the advertising. It's crazy. I tried to watch the show cos of all the hype I heard, but it's terrible. It's like all anime, they all seem to be terrible for the same reasons. I absolutely cannot stand anime, just drives me mad. This show has the typical enormous amount of misogyny and peadophilia like most anime has. But maybe it gets good later on. There's only like 27 episodes. I bailed after 5. The only anime that's any good and has none of the typical misogyny and peadophilia and homophobia and transphobia etc is the films of Hayao Miyazaki, films like Spirited Away which is just so beautiful, it's like Alice in Wonderland and the Wizard of Oz mixed together but much better. All his films are among the best ever. He's arguably the greatest director/writer ever Oh and that film that blew up a few years ago and became the biggest grossing anime film ever, called "Your Name". That is an astoundingly good film. It made me cry big old man tears, full on bawling. It's so emotionally effective But yeah like 99% of anime is trash. Think of the kind of westerners who are obsessed with anime, neckbeards with casual misogyny and body pillows. Watch any random anime and you immediately understand why these guys who've never heard of a shower exist.
Neon Genesis Evangelion is one of the great Anime series of all time, with an ambitious plot, deep religious themes, emotional tragic characters, along with a great music soundtrack. The Asuka Telecaster is a cool guitar. This guitar should become quite the collectors item. Great review.
I might actually check out that show; Thank you for the tip! My 12-year-old Son had recently gotten me into Anime so I'd been watching several shows and had no idea which one to watch next :-)
@@mightyV444 Just a warning while on the surface it seems like an edgy kids show with some darker themes it gets progressively more mature in the second half and defiantly the movie is very mature not for young kids without some serious parental guidance. Fantastic show as an entire series and has some tough life lessons throughout.
Dripzly isn’t it great how opinions differ from guitarists, I thought the pickups sounded absolutely horrible! They sounded as thin as they actually are, take care
Actually I think the wild color scheme works. I've never heard of the anime, but very cool guitar. Alumitone pickups sound unique too. God bless and rock on 😎👍🎸
The solid white I may makes perfect sense from a design and color perspective. They didn’t stray from the bold solid colors by adding “sparkles” with some kind of Mother of Pearl or faux MoP. Then, they were able to make the logo stand out with the silver against solid black, matching the silver frets. Well done. I do agree with you that the bridge pu cavity should’ve been better finished since it can be seen. Looks like a nice guitar. Would love to hear some R&B on that - some Jimmy Nolen!
Kinda funny you posted this on the day when they announced they're finally re releasing the show physically in the US on bluray for the first time since 2005 next year
Being someone who’s usually hanging out on the fringes of popular culture most times, this is very timely. I could 100% see one of these emo-rap crossover acts using this for when they finally go pop punk. 💯
I just got mine a few months back. It is my most expensive guitar that I have, but it was definitely worth getting. My tele has "nunber" 17. just one off from the one in the vid. lol
@@zuke-ci4vd I have not actually... been holding off on messing around with the guitar, but I assume it's the same thing. I did however like the pickups so much that I put it in my strat. I bought the deathbuckers and it is super clean.
A Lace Alumitone humbucker and single coil, stock! Very nice! Makes sense though as Fender has been using those Lace Sensor pickups for years. I have a set of Alumitone humbuckers in my Agile Les Paul, and they sound great! Can't say enough good things about those pickups. I'm not really a tele guy, but when I saw those pickups, I started salivating instantly. Good job on that one Trogly!
I love when 2 things I like crossover and I'm not talking about Fender and Eva am talking about Trogly and Eva! Been watching you Trogly for almost a year now but just watched Evangelion for the first time about a month ago and its actually inspired me to start trying to draw some of the art form the show specifically staring with Asuka. The youtube algorithm did its job!
Trogly, esa es la guitarra de mis sueños, me alegra que la tengas, ojala pudiera comprarla pero no tengo plata :( Trogly, that's the guitar of my dreams, I'm glad you have it, I wish I could buy it but I don't have money :(
I love this thing so much. I'm a huge fan of the Anime (and of your show of course Trogly) and Asuka has always been my favorite character. Unfortunately I think I'll never be able to afford this guitar😅.
If they had one left handed, I woulda bought one without a second thought. NGE is one of my favorite animes, and the fact Fender made the guitar just makes me want it so much more!
Very cool, an Asuka tele is the thing I never would have thought of that about 3 seconds after seeing I absolutely need in my life. Looks amazing, just one issue... love the look of the pickups, the sound though.. not so much.
@@Trog oh im just making a silly pun. NGE is filled with references to christianity, from the angels and adam and lilith to the lance of longinus to unit-01 literally being crucified in end of evangelion so like. nuns. nunber LOL
evangelion is literally a big metaphor for depression, and it's also one of the best "beginner" anime shows out there because while it's very sad it's also very, very good and doesn't go too hard on typical anime tropes that would turn most people away btw asuka is best
I want THAT particular example, i mean, imagine yourself arriving at a gig with a blank fender hardshell case, you open it up and suddenly BANG! An Asuka 69-420 telecaster appears, even if you’re not the owner that sure is a night to remember
Who said i was arguing anything? I was stating a fact. It's an old anime and if you haven't seen it yet it isn't your fault but don't expect other people to necessarily care about spoilers. Dude, go play guitar and quit bugging others.
If anyone should get fired it should be the person that set the price point. The Alumitones don't add that much value. I could get a lot more guitar for that money.
@@benlove443 Not necessarily true. At the end of the day it is just a Fender Japan Tele with a couple upgrades. Just ask Trogly about the Donzi LP. It was a limited edition collab with a high end brand that lost value in the long run. That guitar was custom shop with historic specs and if I remember correctly he had a hard time getting rid of it and took a loss. Time will tell...
@@EarlofBaltimore It should be clear to you by now, you aren't the targeted consumer for this one. Nor are general guitar enthusiasts. This is primarily domestic product and as someone that lives in Japan and sees these type of products regularly, the price point for collectibles is extremely high. Feel free to research some of the other Evangelion goods to come out around this time, their prices will surely offend you as well.

Very cool, an Asuka tele is the thing I never would have thought of that about 3 seconds after seeing I absolutely need in my life. Looks amazing, just one issue... love the look of the pickups, the sound though.. not so much.
I actually had to hit rewind on the playing demo in this video to hear it again. Nice skills!
This thing looks red hot - makes me rethink custom colour and design entirely.
So this is the ultimate Midwest Emo guitar?
A Shinji purple and green jazz master would be sick though
Came here to see if Trogly says it right, or if he says A-soo-ka.
I’ll stay subscribed since my man got it right
It’s already up to $8,000-10,000 and it’s beautiful
that is hilarious i want a guitar with typos and cool body defects
As much of a traditionalist concerning Telecasters, I LOVE this guitar! The pups are amazing. I've not seen those before.
Feliz jueves a todos
Man Trogly, you’re absolutely killin it playing on this video! Love it
'nunber' is actually a reference to christianity. only REAL fans would get it
please explain further...
@@Trog oh im just making a silly pun. NGE is filled with references to christianity, from the angels and adam and lilith to the lance of longinus to unit-01 literally being crucified in end of evangelion so like. nuns. nunber LOL
@@opensourceq I was so scared that it was a reference to something on the show when making this video haha
@jared r I think you're reaching on that one.
Kabbalah
I think your description of Evangelion is spot on, great review.
evangelion is literally a big metaphor for depression, and it's also one of the best "beginner" anime shows out there because while it's very sad it's also very, very good and doesn't go too hard on typical anime tropes that would turn most people away
btw asuka is best
Yeah
I agree on the "beginner anime" thing. I choose to watch Ergo Proxy, Jihoku Shoujo and Kaiji.
Should have gone with Evangelion.
Or Dragon Ball.
You are ahead of the game Trogly! Fantastic Work!
Hmmm... I'm not an anime fan, but I am a Telecaster fan. Holy cow! I want one!
Why the heck was I unsubscribed? I was wondering why I haven’t seen a video of yours in a while!
I’m glad to be back.
great tele! i wish there is a Eva 01 strat that would be great
Awesome episode trogly! Cool guitar. Love that u actually played the asuka theme
The look of this ax is so not me. But the pickups intrigue me and well serial 69 and then misspelling Nunber. Almost makes it worth 3k to me.
Love the 90s neon electroclash color scheme on a Telecaster
SOMEONES GETTING FIRED POG
Thanks ! Your videos are always so much fun .
Spoiler Alert! ...
She looses her flippin eye!
Eye no! (I know)
Woo woo! I'm part of the 25% who knows this show! I also know that the Telecaster is one of last shapes she would play.
I dont understand how those pickups even work. Crazy
I want THAT particular example, i mean, imagine yourself arriving at a gig with a blank fender hardshell case, you open it up and suddenly BANG! An Asuka 69-420 telecaster appears, even if you’re not the owner that sure is a night to remember
“When she loses her eye...”
Spoiler alert anyone?
Only a minor spoiler for the rebuild movies, which are inconsequential alternate universes lol
Yes, a spoiler alert for a decade + old anime
@@patrickyoung7101 that’s a dumb argument. Have you read the epic of Gilgamesh? No? You’ve had thousands of years to do it dude
Who said i was arguing anything? I was stating a fact. It's an old anime and if you haven't seen it yet it isn't your fault but don't expect other people to necessarily care about spoilers. Dude, go play guitar and quit bugging others.
@@saturnjr9136 Also i have read that. 6/10 the Iliad is better
that misspelling just sky rocketed the value.
If anyone should get fired it should be the person that set the price point. The Alumitones don't add that much value. I could get a lot more guitar for that money.
Still cheaper that a lot of Gibsons
Limited Edition and Collaborations always drive higher price points. It isn't just a guitar.
@@benlove443 Not necessarily true. At the end of the day it is just a Fender Japan Tele with a couple upgrades. Just ask Trogly about the Donzi LP. It was a limited edition collab with a high end brand that lost value in the long run. That guitar was custom shop with historic specs and if I remember correctly he had a hard time getting rid of it and took a loss. Time will tell...
@@EarlofBaltimore It should be clear to you by now, you aren't the targeted consumer for this one. Nor are general guitar enthusiasts. This is primarily domestic product and as someone that lives in Japan and sees these type of products regularly, the price point for collectibles is extremely high. Feel free to research some of the other Evangelion goods to come out around this time, their prices will surely offend you as well.
Licensing does
