The Kawai Moonsault (we've looked at examples previously here and here) is one of my favourite guitar designs, partly because it just looks so impractical but also because it demonstrates beautifully the wackiness of the Japanese when it comes to guitars.
These guitars were created for the Japanese home market and are rarely seen in the West as it is, but here we have the extremely rare Crystal Moon version which features a clear acrylic body. Unlike the top of the range Moonsaults, which can be likened to Gibson's Les Paul in terms of construction and quality of build, the Crystal Moon utilises a bolt-on neck. It also lacks the body binding of its siblings, but does have the same "Phase of the Moon" fretboard inlays.
This particular example is currently located in Germany and has an eBay starting price of £1,999.
