Well then, we've established it's a V. We've established it's either an ESP or an Edwards...on the ESP Japan page, he's got a slew of sigs and this one was one of em.
Yeah, it is this one for sure. I think he's got an older V signature too, which has a Floyd and 3 singlecoils (no P90 in the bridge), but I haven't seen him using any Floyd guitars lately. And it can't be anyone else really, since Sugizo was the lead guitarist in the new X Japan lineup. Even though I think there's been some other guys in the lineup too, even Wes Borland and Robin Finck played some shows IIRC
He has probably over 20 sigs and none of the ones he uses are Edwards. He's got some crazy stuff, including a 7-string LP with singlecoils and a Floyd, an Es-335 with singlecoils and a Floyd, a fretless LP with singlecoils, Floyd and a sustainer etc. There are Edwards versions of some of those, just like there's e.g. LTD versions of Alexi Laiho's or Stef Carpenter's sigs, even though they themselves don't play the LTD models. There are some Grass Roots versions too.
That Edwards which was posted above looks like a Zemaitis copy. Or is it actually a Zemaitis, as it has that Z -logo?
Recognize the guitar? This is Sugizo playing with Luna Sea, the band he originally was in (which was actually signed by hide from X Japan, that's how they became friends): [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JiQ6m0bJxLw&fmt=18[/ame]
As I said, he's got a great lead style, which I really like: [ame]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aKKKfgY7864&fmt=18[/ame]
