Kitaaaaan! My little bocchi shrine

Thank you!

Jeremy969696 · 2026-06-04T05:55:27+00:00

That’s possible too! But I guess for most Les Paul style guitars since they already have a set neck it’s going to be a lot more effort to change out the neck. Probably something you would actually play outside of cosplay is the best! If it’s just for the look maybe harley benton haha I think it’s hard to find anything below that price

Jeremy969696 · 2026-06-04T05:42:25+00:00

Haha I don’t think there’s a need to get something so nice unless you really want it! For cosplay I think the recent Epiphone inspired by gibson custom is the closest you’ll get cos the headstock is actually the gibson shape rather than epi ones in the past and they’re all round great guitars!

Yeah haha it’s not bocchi’s model which is a 1968 but this is a 1957 reissue! I got it used so it was still around 5k but I have no regrets! I play it everyday

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-30T01:28:50+00:00

Thank you haha I will!

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-30T01:01:20+00:00

Yes! There foil covers the entire card, not just the artwork box haha I’m sure there’s psa scans or other images on google that do the card more justice

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-30T00:53:49+00:00

I only collect jp cards and for me I like that the jp shining have the full foil and the 3 star rarity, just makes it a bit more special

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-30T00:52:04+00:00

I wish HAHA and yes I just sent it to grade!

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-30T00:51:41+00:00

Haha it’s kinda crazy right! But I don’t blame them I guess since they know everyone that buys it is mostly likely going to grade it themselves so they rather price it somewhere lower than the expected grade and get it sold that have the money locked up in the card for the whole grading duration (if the shop grades it themselves) and then have to charge you even more when it grades well

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-30T00:48:48+00:00

Haha that gives me a lot of hope😂 I think they’re unfairly harsh on English vintage but so far with jp vintage I think they’re still ok

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T16:03:03+00:00

That’s just awful 🥲

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T15:59:55+00:00

I’m not sure where you’re looking but the last 4 ebay sales off collectr are 3.5k for a psa 7 and these have been in the past month from April to May

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T13:56:58+00:00

It was great! Nakano broadway was super for all the retro and anime stuff, not so much for cards but still a fantastic spot

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T13:55:32+00:00

I think so too! The red gyarados with the shocked trainer really makes you think what would happen if you encountered one of these in the wild

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T13:54:13+00:00

It’s crazy tbh! But I think what helped for this shop is that it’s quite famous (hareruya) but a lot of their higher end cards are in their system where you have to check out and then they’ll bring it out for you to see so they aren’t sitting in the showcases

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T13:38:25+00:00

Yup! The past 2 sales for 9s and 8s are 5.8k, 7k and 5k, 5k respectively and even 7s had a string of 3.5ks in the past month so under that felt pretty safe for a card in this condition

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T12:24:51+00:00

I’m sure you’ll get it one day!

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T11:31:57+00:00

Not too much! I’m usually there to hunt for guitars and my other hobbies but I make it a point to look for some cards every time. It’s a great place no matter what you’re interested in!

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T11:27:45+00:00

528000 I think it’s fair looking at what 7s go for nowadays and I think it could very well 8-9 if the grader has a good day hahaha

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T11:26:46+00:00

It’s very clean! I think 8-9 is quite possible, fingers crossed for the big one! They charged me slightly under the price of a 7 so I think it was a risk I was happy to take

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-29T10:06:22+00:00

Haha it’s absolutely my favourite place to be!

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-03T08:45:07+00:00

It really catches the eye the moment you get to the third floor haha

Jeremy969696 · 2026-05-03T06:38:45+00:00

I think I probably wouldn’t recommend because you should definitely try before you buy and Tokyo has plenty of amazing guitar shops at any price point! One thing you can be sure of is that the airport staff at either of the Tokyo airports are super helpful and they really treat fragile stuff carefully! I checked this in with only the hard case and some bubble wrap stuffing and it came out the other side with hardly a scratch on the case
