Hi everyone, I've been looking around for the guitar used by "Gackt" in many of his performances and PVs, but I can't really find them on Ebay, and definitely none of them show up on a US site for guitars... I was wondering if anyone knew a way to get the guitar? The models are called "Venus" and "Marcury", and the manufacturer is a company named "Caparison"... they don't make the models anymore, ofcourse. Any help would be good.

I took the liberty of moving your thread to this forum as chances are if anyone knows how to find what you're looking for, someone here would probably know. Good luck!

Mercury...xD

But weren't they custom made just for Gackt...? Meaning, only for him and no one else? As in only the one(s) he has...? xD

No.

Gackt has designed two guitars, Mercury and Venus. As far as I know, they were limited to only several hundred each.

I use Japanese auctions often. If I ever find the guitar, I will post it here.

It depends who supplies them to Gackt, for example on Luna Sea`s site and CD cover credits they tell you they get their guitars from ESP (electric sound products) bands such as Dir-en-grey, Tetsu (from L`Arc) The Alfee, etc, all have their own custom style guitars from ESP, but I can`t say I have ever seen Gackt`s on their site, sorry. I will check his CD credits later to see if it mentions his guitars, and let you know if i manage to find out.

I'm going to fly to Japan, go to a Gackt concert, and snag Venus. I want that gorgeous guitar.

No, wait. I'm gonna fly to Japan, go to a Gackt concert, snag Gackt AND Venus. Mwa!

Seriously though, if I ever see the guitars I'll let you know, I've been looking for them for 6 months now.
