High-end Guitar Accessories Available at Sound House

Hello, my name is Yuya!
One of the most common complaints from people who play music, especially instrumentalists, is “Equipment costs so much money!”
Guitarists, in particular, have to buy new strings, shields, picks, and all sorts of other things as they wear out and break, and all the money flies out of my wallet…
Sound House is convenient for such situations, but what should people buy when they’re rich enough to spend a lot of money on equipment?
In this article, I will take a look at some of the high-end guitar accessories that you can buy at Sound House.
(These are the prices at the time I’m writing this article)

■ Guitar Strings

(Price per set)

La Bella / AM Argento Pure Silver Medium Tension

High-grade strings for classical guitar. The price is 8,180 yen!
Lower strings for classical guitar are usually made of silver plated alloys, but these strings have a high content of pure silver, which makes them resistant to rust and gives them a delicate sound that can be used for concerts and recordings.

■ Guitar Strap

ESP / ES-S-580 Noel

This guitar strap is a signature model of Noel, a member of the fictional new band VANISHING STARLIGHT that exists in a parallel world. This high-end strap is made of genuine leather and produced in a limited edition of 150 pieces at a price of 51,000 yen.
The limited edition is very strong indeed...

There were many other straps priced close to 30,000 yen that are made of genuine leather!
Please check them out if you are interested!

■ Shield

KAMINARI GUITARS / K-JR3SS(3mSS)

Shield cables are important to the sound quality of an instrument.
Among them, this shield of KAMINARI GUITARS is one of the most expensive.
The price for 3m is 16,800 yen, and for 7m, the price is 29,800 yen! (You can buy a cheaper guitar for that price...)
I wonder how much the sound quality will change compared to a normal shield...

■ Picks

V-PICKS / V-INSANITY Insanity

This pick can be purchased for about 100 yen, but the price of this high-end pick is a whopping 4,980 yen!
This pick shines like a jewel, and its thickness gives it a very strong presence!
I'm curious to try playing with it...

■ Capotast

G7TH / Heritage Guitar Capo Wide Silver

The G7TH capo is one of the most expensive capos in the market.
The price is 16,280 yen!
The difference from a regular capo is that it is easy to install and prevents the sound from getting chirpy!
It also comes with a special leather pouch, something you probably won't find in a regular capo!
Maybe after using this, you will never go back to a regular capo...

■ Guitar Stands

Mexarts / SOLO ASH BR Acoustic Guitar Stand

This stand is exclusively for acoustic guitars, but it is also a stool!
The price of this excellent stand and stool, which allows you to pick up your guitar and sit on it, is 66,000 yen.

I also found something like this

Mexarts / CLASSIC ASH BR Classical Guitar Frame

This is a stand for classical guitar.
This is a stand and bench!
This guitar-shaped appearance looks like it could be part of someone’s interior design decor!
The price is 150,000 yen!
