Susumu Hirasawa

Susumu Hirasawa uses a Mosrite USA 65-SB electric guitar, as detailed in an article by Ikebe-gakki.

In 1983 he settled on T?kai Gakki's Talbo aluminum guitars as his main ones, attracted by their unique material and design. He used multiple T?kai Talbos over an eleven-year period, with the guitar becoming an integral part of his image.

Susumu Hirasawa is associated with the EVO electric guitar, as highlighted in the Ikebe-gakki report by IKEBE CREATIVE.

Susumu Hirasawa is associated with the Fernandes PHOTON electric guitar, as reported by Ikebe-gakki in their coverage of the HYBRID PHONON project.

Susumu Hirasawa is noted for using a 1963 Fender Jaguar electric guitar, as highlighted in a report by IKEBE CREATIVE on Ikebe-gakki.

Starting toward the end of the "Model Room" era and going into the "Landsale 80'" era Susumu started using a Fernandez Artwave V-7 guitar a lot. It can be seen in the clip at 5m20s up close. It appears he only had one of these in yellow. They were also availible in white, and he's the only guy I know of who has ever used one of these guitars, probably because they did not get much distribution outside Japan.

The two switches below the volume and tone controls appear to be Hirasawa's own modification. A Q&A post on https://hirasawaslyrics.edoblog.net seems to indicate at least one is a humbucker coil-tap:

"He explained why the Backlund Model 400, the green guitar, has such a metallic-noise sound. He cancels one of the switches for the two sections in a pick-up to make the guitar play the metallic sound."
