Romin with her Duel Guitar.

A Duel Guitar is a hybrid Duel Disk and guitar. It was introduced in Yu-Gi-Oh! SEVENS when Yuga Ohdo modified a normal guitar into one for Romin Kassidy, and another was later used by Princess G. In Yu-Gi-Oh! GO RUSH!!, Rovian Kirishima, a character based on Romin, also uses one.

Characteristics[edit]

During a Duel, a Duel Guitar hangs on the Duelist's shoulder by its strap and held by the neck with the left hand rather than being attached to the forearm, making it handle similarly to the Duel Vest. Unlike a Vest however, all Duel Guitars have some way to hold the player's hand to compensate for the occupied left hand.

Romin's Duel Guitar[edit]

Romin's Duel Guitar was originally an electric guitar that Yuga used as the basis for one of his Roads, the Noisinator, a noise cancelling device that replaced one loud noise with another, though when strummed it produced a powerful sonic shockwave that could be seen from afar.[1] After seeing that Romin seemed to like it, Yuga modified the guitar into a Duel Disk and gave it to her before the RoaRomin concert at Big Seven Arena.[2]

The head of the guitar has a red "7" shape, the neck is purple, while the white body of the guitar has a vague "7" shape, with the bottom section containing the card zones and glowing the same red as a Duel Disk used for Rush Duels. When in its compact form, the neck slides over the soundbox and the body sections hinge parallel to the neck. When activated, the neck slides forwards and the body hinges outward, and the Deck slot contained in the top section hinges parallel to the bottom section. The top section has a slot along the ridge as the hand holder. Romin's Duel Guitar also contains a compartment in the top section that can hold a candy bar, which can be dispersed at the touch of a button near the corner of the top section.[3]

Princess G's Duel Guitar[edit]

Princess G's Duel Guitar.

Princess G used this Duel Guitar for her Rush Duel with Romin. Hers does not appear to be collapsible. The head of the guitar has a red "P" shape and the body and neck are predominantly black; a stylized red "G" forms the frame of the body. The Deck and Graveyard are in the brown section on the top edge of the body, outside the "G", which also contains the hand holder.[4]

Rovian's Duel Guitar[edit]

Rovian's Duel Guitar.

Rovian's Duel Guitar is an acoustic guitar as opposed to an electric one, with a traditionally shaped body. The body and head are white and the body has a red "R" over the sound hole, while the neck and saddle are black. The Deck and Graveyard section is concealed above the "R" and can be deployed when necessary, while the card zones are constantly tinted with the blue of a Duel Disk and are concealed beneath the saddle until the Duel Guitar is activated. There are also two sunken circular sections with a teal color resembling screwheads. The slot to hold Rovian's hand is along the neck of the guitar as opposed to the body.[5]
