On February 28th of 2014 Siinamota posted on Twitter that he had purchased this ESP Edwards E-LP-115C/3H Ace Frehley Model Les Paul. On June 23rd of 2015 he posted the guitar on Twitter once again saying that he was looking to sell it, the caption was

”【売ります】エドワーズの3ハムレスポールです。4万円くらいがよいと思います。都内に出られる方を優先させて頂きます。” ([For Sale] Edwards 3 Humbucker Les Paul. I think around 40,000 yen would be good. Priority given to those who can meet in central Tokyo.)

"I'm a very loyal Cakewalk by Bandlab user. Been using Cakewalk in one form or another since 1993. Powerful stuff, and it's free. Can't ask for better.

My sound interface hardware is a PreSonus Studio 1810C box. It's very stable, very reliable, although the driver installation is a bit confusing. It wants to install everything under the sun. Also, if you want full interactive access to their support forums, you're going to pay through the nose. The bang for the buck quotient outstrips the negatives, IMHO, at least for now.

VSTs and Soundfonts? Good lord. I have hundreds of VSTs, but I don't use Soundfonts. For VST sounds, which ones I use depends on which kind of music I'm writing. For electronic music, I'm defaulting lately to those by Cherry Audio. I use Addictive Drums 2 for my drumsets a lot of the time. However, for classical, guitars, and some drums, I don't use VSTs - I use Native Instruments' KOMPLETE, namely the KONTAKT software and plugins made for it.

In the KONTAKT realm, I like Aaron Venture's Infinite Brass and Infinite Woodwinds. I also use Orange Tree Samples for guitars, and the SCARBEE basses that come with NI KOMPLETE 13. I use various other SFX sounds as well.

One bit of hardware that's hard to replicate is my Roland SC-88Pro box. I use it for strings, drums, basses, synths, and other sounds. I also use it for fast prototyping, and for full composition in the Doom MIDI realm.

For FX VSTs, I use those from Waves and the MEGA bundle from Plugin Alliance, plus dozens of specialized FX VSTs.

I'll edit if I think of anything else. Let me know if you have any questions."

"Yes, I did, although I don't have some of it anymore. I used a Kurzweil K2500RS rackmount synth/sampler for hardware, and a software DAW called SAW Studio (which isn't in production anymore). And for the record, I only used a plain SC-88 - I didn't get my pro until after I was no longer at Apogee/3D Realms."
