Is it possible to buy the Valve themed guitar?

I mean, does it even exist? Because it looks great.

I am talking about the guitar in this pic:

You must impress DRiller enough for him to hellicopter down to your spot and drop you an invitation yo his rock lair.

And then you must shred.

You must shred enough to impress him and the rock gods and if you do, then four gigantic valves will turn and unleash a fountain of lava that between the light and the wind created by it will give you the best rocker cloesup shot.

Then, you will be bequeathed the valve guitar. It is said to be made of golden rosewood from a lost island that Christ the Redeemer gazed in the direction of, and magnets in the pickups were of a strange metal that fell to the earth in a space rock. A spaaaaaaaaaaaaace rooooooooooooooooock *crazy fingers*

But will it chug?

[Realigo Actual]

It chugs like a bass.

Marketing pictures are just created in a paint program; I doubt anyone will actually build something just to take a picture of it.

I know that. But maybe there is a chance they will make a limited edition in cooperation with Gibson or so if we ask.

you could imitate it with a bunch of stickers

Why are you sure it's just not a 3D model? They could just render a couple of cool things instead of creating them materially. It's not like someone at Valve didn't share their guitar tho. In my opinion, the most budgetary option for replication is to find the same stickers. You can try to contact well-known Valve employees through the public contacts indicated by them. There will be an interesting social precedent.

I gotta admit, it looks cool! Sadly, I don't think such a guitar exists.

(well, cool from a geeky perspective)

Well, looks like a Les Paul on first glance. You can just track down someone who makes custom body wraps.

want one. Usually, I prefer Jackson. but this looks spicy

I've been researching it and it seems to be a custom made guitar, from the headstock i was able to gather it is an asg (artist series guitars), they seem to make custom guitars, and it seems that this guitar is real! it is featured in this article: https://arstechnica.com/gaming/2015/06/steamvr-the-room-scale-vr-world-that-feels-like-an-imax-in-your-house/ . it will be on the fifth image of the first group of photos. It says that it was custom made and painted for valve and that it wasn't even the final version so there is a chance that there could be multiple of these. from what i can tell i don't think that there is a way to purchase them.

You can just contact some guitar crafter to get something like that (but not 100% equal in terms of legal rights of course). I know excellent guitar master Stanislav Lytvyn (Ukraine, but he frequantly make guitars for USA customers). I can hope to contact him if you want.

If it were to be real I'd expect it to be a plank with cheap fittings. Not much worse than the Gibbo Les Pauls of today

[dävid]

def not a gibson becauseof the headstock, the gibons headstock is more like a curve in the middle.. looks more like a esp ltd LP but tbh, the headstock doesn't really fit with that type of model either.. maybe it's just a cheap les paul knockoff with stickers lol
