The electric guitar featured in the hit anime has leapt straight out of the comic page.
Yamaha Music Korea, a global specialist in musical instruments and audio equipment, said on the 1st that it will hold a special collaboration event with the anime “Bocchi the Rock!” at its online and offline stores, as well as at Yamaha Music School, through Nov. 30.
The company explained that it planned the event so fans who became interested in band music and guitar through “Bocchi the Rock!” could experience instruments in their daily lives and enjoy the pleasure of music.
The centerpiece of the collaboration is the limited-edition electric guitar “PAC611VBTR.” It is the instrument used by Hitori Gotoh, the anime’s main character and guitarist of Kessoku Band.
It recreates Yamaha’s signature electric guitar, the Pacifica series “Yamaha Pacifica PAC611VFM,” in Hitori Gotoh’s custom specifications.
Its features include a glossy black body, a black pickguard and a chrome bridge pickup. A premium gig bag embroidered with the “Bocchi the Rock!” logo and a certificate bearing Hitori Gotoh’s signature also add to its collectible value. The consumer price is 1.29 million won.
Yamaha Music School will also offer a three-month short-term lesson course where students can learn popular songs from “Bocchi the Rock!”. The classes will cover electric guitar, bass guitar, drums and vocals.
Special exhibition zones decorated with life-size standees of “Bocchi the Rock!” characters and posters of memorable scenes from the anime will also be set up in stores.
