Vader Guitars recently introduced a limited-edition electric guitar officially licensed from the 'Naruto Shippuden' anime series, marking a unique collaboration between music and animation. According to Music Instrument News, the launch event occurred at Dingwalls in London on October 19, 2026.
The instrument’s debut included a live performance by Yasuharu Takanashi, the composer for 'Naruto Shippuden,' as part of his 'The Battle for Glory' European Tour. Takanashi reportedly shared his enthusiasm for the guitar, exclaiming, “Wow…..amazing!”
The guitar features several distinctive design elements, including Rasengan artwork on the body and headstock, double-coil humbuckers, and a twin-pivot vibrato system. Only 100 of these guitars will be made globally, each accompanied by a certificate verifying authenticity and a custom gig bag styled after Naruto’s signature orange jacket. The instrument also boasts a maple neck with Naruto’s name inscribed in Japanese kanji.
The broader 'Naruto Shippuden' collection, available exclusively in the United Kingdom, also includes guitar straps and a metal tin with themed plectrums. The Rasengan Electric Guitar has a suggested retail price of £299.00 and is available for purchase immediately. Vader Guitars’ Billy Smith believes the product appeals to both avid anime collectors and professional musicians.
