helping identify my charvel

I love this forum. I was ready to pile on the OP too with the modded 6 ID until I saw QR's post. Awesome knowledge being dropped here.

Me too... learn something new everyday.

Thanks, QR! Always cool to learn about a good player you hadn't heard of. Lots of older videos on youtube if you look for "Seikima II", and newer stuff with his fusion band "Face to Ace". In the oldest one I saw, he has an Aria (I think) that's just like the Charvel. Looks like he's with Caparison now, and his sig models still have the black stripe around the body edges.

The guitar in the video has a Fender style jack.

That video was awesome...the Batman style "Zonk" fight scene...the giant robot slipping on the banana peel....so cheesy.....and fan-freakin'-tastic!!

There are two models/versions used in the video.

Ace with the striped sides, normal jack input and sharkfin inlays:




Ace(?) with a non-striped, Fender-style jack input and dot inlays:

The guitarist's stage name is "Ace Shimizu".

Thanks! Now I know a bit more about this guy Ace. He is in the 1993 GJ cat as well:

The guy with the hat is the other guitarist, Luke Takamura. Ace is the dude playing the Gibson ES-335 in the jazz club.

I watched this video for the first time after seeing it linked on this thread. A boozing 8 year old boy, dancing bums, and robot ninjas... What more could you ask for in a music video?

Chuck Norris?

Chuck Norris fighting the dancing bums, robot ninjas and 8-year-old boy?

[QuantumRider]

Please don't tell Chuck that I had forgotten that he is necessary in every music video.

If he finds out, he may roundhouse kick me into the future where I will be transformed into a robot ninja, after which he will travel in time to kick my ass all over again!

Just watched a few more Seikima II videos. All awesomely cheesy, and every one of the dudes can bring it, especially the singer!
