Seriously: when do you have enough guitars? Some of us here at ESP have been playing longer than many of you have been alive, and we still could use an extra guitar or two. Or three. Or five. So even though we just introduced dozens of new ESP models at the NAMM Show in January, we still found room to add some killer new guitars and basses at the worldʼs largest music products show, the Musikmesse in Frankfurt, Germany. In no particular order…

rare collection of British-made Supersound guitars has been found in the basement of a house in the U.K., according to a report from the BBC.
The Supersound brand of guitars resulted from a collaboration between noted British luthiers Jim Burns and Alan Wootton during the late 1950s. Burns, of course, went on to produce guitars played by such notable musicians as Queen’s Brian May, Andy Bell of Oasis, and others.

DBZ Guitars has announced a guitar that will blow minds and turn heads: the Croc Skin Bolero. Straight from the mind of legendary guitar designer Dean Zelinsky, The Croc Skin Bolero combines DBZ’s legendary playability with looks so realistic Dean B. Zelinsky may soon be explaining himself to the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service.
There’s no pattern in nature more rock n’ roll than crocodile skin, and DBZ’s Croc Skin Bolero is the first guitar in the world to wear it proudly without harming any animals. While the Croc Skin Bolero’s curvaceous body looks like it has been covered in real reptile skin, the finish is actually a never-before-seen textured maple top, produced using proprietary DBZ technologies. Of course, the Croc Skin Bolero is more than just looks; it’s made to play.

The Yamaha SBG3000 solid-body electric guitar is a masterpiece of musical instrument craftsmanship. To commemorate the 40th year that Yamaha began selling guitars in the United States, Yamaha is issuing only 40 of these limited edition collector’s items, a model that has never before been available in this country. Each guitar is serialized and comes with a special glass display case (a $400 value).
Originally issued in the mid-1970s, the SBG line became famous for its incredible sustain after legendary artists like Carlos Santana and Bob Marley popularized the models. In 2007, Yamaha reissued the SBG2000 and SBG1000 with faithful reproductions of these two classic six-string beauties.
