The picture is fairly recent.So it can be assumed she switched to Sabian,at least for the time being.I won't know for sure until i have some ONE MAN pics of her cymbals and drum set.

Updated the thread again.More pics of Mami's new guitar.Still with the sticker on.Jeez peel it off Mami!LOL

LOL Mami likes stickers on her guitars a lot, doesn't she? At least for the white Strat, she doesn't mod her other guitars like the Strat ^_^
Btw, where do you keep getting these pics of Mami's guitar? LOL XDD

From a source,porcupine,from a source.Until the time comes i can't say where i got these pics from.

Updated the thread yet again,this time full blown info on Mami's double cutaway Gibson.

Ooh, keeping secrets from me eh, Eugene? Hahaha XDD
I'm just kidding, I love the pics on Mami's "modded" Strat; I wonder if she'll ever run out of place to put her stickers on her Strat .lol.

Her Strat is pretty much filled,but i dun think she'll paste any on her other guitars,make that guitar a unique one.

Mami really loves her Strat a lot, doesn't she? It must really hold a lot of sentimental value to her. I wish she'd use the Gibson a little more too, it does provide a textural and deeper sound during lives, especially when she's performing the solos since Haru's guitar evokes a lighter more jangly sound during the lives

I think the Strat's good enough,that's the mark of a Fender tone,bright and twangy.Gibsons have deeper and richer tones.Either way i'm cool with both guitars so long as she performs.

I do agree with you on that; however I feel that with certain songs like "Kagerou" and "Hitotsu Dake" the Gibson would be a better choice to bring a certain depth and richer texture to the sound .smile. But that's purely my own personal opinion

Hahaha akuma,slowly,slowly!

akuma XD nice siggy lol!! ur infamaus red font XD

@akuma: you can still contribute! whatever info you have about SCANDAL's guitar gear or otherwise will be just fine, don't worry about it!
I wish I was as hardworking as you guys, I don't have any more info on the girls, guitar gear or otherwise... .whiteflag.

Updated the thread.Found another guitar for Haruna,the Classic Series '72 Telecaster Custom.Added another photo of Haruna's acoustic and a from-the-top view of the side of Mami's sticker-laden Strat,and the side has.....Yeah.More stickers.

Dude, great pics! Arigato gozaimashita .hail.
My guess from the acoustic is that it's either a Martin or Yamaha (knowing Haru-chan, her acoustic guitar probably cost a bomb LOL XDD) Where did you get the pic of the acoustic from? Maybe I can help you find out what make and model it is

I got it from their blog,went excavating yesterday.

Oh, ok... myabe you can get Fujiko or Kakouyi to help translate the blog for you? I guess the guitar's model and brand is mentioned somewhere in the blog entry .smile.

So far the entry i read just mentions that "I" (meaning Haruna) got a new acoustic.I'll read it again later.

thanks for the info. i'm trying to get a fender telecaster as well but it's too expensive

Get a MIJ Tele,it's cheaper and in my opinion the quality is about the same as the USA Teles.

I have an American Fender tele and strat ;D
I won the strat at a game I was soooo happy!!
Im gald she liked fenders
I love fenders back in the days..
Good info btw xD
Her acoustic looks similar to
my old one...
I cant remember what it is @.@

Eugene, dude, you're right about Haruna's acoustic, it's a Martin DC-15E to be precise. And Mami's acoustic isn't an Epiphone, it's also a Martin but it looks like it's a limited edition D-100 acoustic... I'm trying to find more details but you can find these guitars on the Martin website under the Catalog section: http://www.mguitar.com/catalog/PDF/Martin%20Catalog.pdf
Alternatively, you can look here: http://www.mguitar.com/catalog/ there's a wide range of catalogs on the various guitars available on their site. Hope this helps in any way and sorry for any confusion, peace!

Sorry porcu,but Haruna's guitar isn't a Martin.Her guitar has no pickguard,the cut of the body is a little different,her guitar has special fret inlays,the headstock isn't from Martin and a different brand can be seen on the headstock.Looks like Takamine.Argh.

I'm still searching for info on their acoustics.Can't find Mami's acoustic on Martin's site,the pic is too small for me to see anything else that's useful except for the body shape and the pickguard.

Oh,and Haruna's blog entry only stated that she practised with her acoustic and commented on how cute her acoustic guitar bag was.

Finaly
After a back tracking at my friends guitar shop
This seems to be Haruna's acoustic guitar x)
Its in different color but reasonable ;D its 800$ ;P

Nice work nysuke.I'll go get the details now.

great info.. thanks for sharing
