Sonic proves to the world that he is F'n Metal

Sonic proves to the world that he is F'n Metal photo
     Sega

Ever since we first saw our beloved hedgehog brandishing a sword on the front cover of Nintendo Power and cringed, we've had wonder if hardcore is the proper direction that Sega should be taking Sonic. That is, before we witnessed this "sonic beauty" of a guitar, wielded by Nino of the Brazilian heavy metal band, MegaDriver.

We'll let you view the videos and decide for yourselves if the band is worthy enough to handle his might, but the guitar has us all seeing stars -- on its own merit. This custom axe sports a 24-fret maple neck with EMG 81 active pickups, a Floyd Rose Lo-Pro bridge and a Brazilian body of "Angelim Pedra" wood.

While it may not be a Gibson, Fender, or PRS, if this baby doesn't make you envious, then you obviously don't care much for Sonic and guitars in the first place.

[Thanks, Mr. Destructoid]

I think it's more hilarious than hardcore.

I'll commend the paint job and construction, but I would not want to hold that thing for extended periods of time.

Before that guitar he used to use an actual Mega Drive that was modded into a guitar, it was prerrt epic.

Decent band... he's note perfect in every song he plays. His FFX video was shit quality, but great music.

This looks like the kind of guitar that, just by holding it, allows even beginners to play solos of Dragonforce-level face-meltiness.

Oh I like guitars but I do not like Sonic, so HA!

I have an Orange Fender Tornado, she's purdy.

It most certainly is not a PRS.

I'm glad that was addressed.

I much prefer the Mega Drive guitar, but the Sonic one is fine too.

Also, the Zero Wing song they did blew like two speakers out of my car.

I too prefer the Mega-Drive-itar but this design is still full of WIN.
As for the band, I'm a huge fan of any band that can take either video game or classical music and put electric guitars over it.

Can I be envious while trying to suppress those horrible memories of Sonic Underground?

I dunno....To me, it looks like a guitar made for kids from the early 90's. Something a parent might buy their kid to try and get them to do something besides play video games. It might of worked, even.

The band is actually good. Check out the music at the website. Personally, I think they're better than Minibosses.
