I love how the Japanese market never wholly left the 80's behind. I almost wish I wanted this guitar because it's so bold, but I don't totally love the look and I have no idea who or what Evangelion Asuka is. If it was $1,000 cheaper, I'd seriously consider it.

[Manual Slim]

Yikes! I want to buy the living heck out of that but I can’t really justify the expense at the moment.

 

[3-Chord-Genius]

I want that tacky-looking guitar... NOW! That thing looks freakin' awesome!

 

[GGardner]

Wasn't Matthew Sweet's "Evangeline" written about a Japanese anime character? Great song and great performance whatever its inspiration.

What’s that price work out to in usd?

 

[gimmeatele]

Yes please!

 

[Antigua Tele]

What’s that price work out to in usd?

1 yen is about a penny, so about $2,200

 

[ElJay370]

Fender Japan keeps all the cool stuff for themselves.

 

[Steve 78]

Funny, I just stuck a NERV sticker on my home-made footswitch. Looks like I need a matching Tele

And I thought I had seen it all. It appears to be an art piece or statement; something you would display on a wall. Very strong visually

 

[fasteddie42]

wow

never thought I'd see a neon genesis telecaster tie in.

 

[Jackson753]

I like the look of this it's got it's own thing going on.

[paulbaribeau]

I want it.
Pretty sure that show is on Netflix now. Weird show to make into a telecaster tribute but that fade looks cool.

 

[arlum]

You wouldn't have to worry about not being noticed on stage with your band.

From the cheap seats ...... There's Daddy.

 

[wblynch]

That thing is gorgeous. Even the pickups are cool

 

[RodeoTex]

I like it.
Are those Alumitone pickups?

 

[PsychoMX]

I'd order it in a heartbeat if the price wasn't that high, I love Telecasters, I love Evangelion and that guitar looks sick IMHO.
Too bad it's so expensive

 

[Dismalhead]

Wow. The future is bright and I gotta wear shades.

 

[Switchy]

I want this. This brings back many teen memories of............. cool guitars, yeah. Anime and guitars.
