With The Last of Us 2 dropping this weekend, fans are more excited than ever to jump back into one of gaming's most essential stories and experience the next step in Ellie and Joel's post-apocalyptic adventure. With critics and Twitter consensus claiming that the game is yet another slamdunk for Naughty Dog, it seems the game is destined to receive the same lineage that made its predecessor such an iconic landmark in video game history.

It seems some players are so invested in Ellie and Joel's world that they're looking to buy themselves some incredibly realistic merchandise that replicates some of the pairing's most iconic moments. While many are content with pieces of Last of Us themed clothing, badges and stickers, or even the incredible collector's edition figurine that came with more expensive versions of the game, it seems Naughty Dog is preparing an incredibly expensive replica for diehard The Last of Us fans.

That replica is none other than Ellie's new guitar, which is a significant new aspect of The Last of Us 2 that leads to some of the sequel's quietest and most intimate moments. Sadly, however, guitar players who want to channel Ellie's music through their own replica of her soon to be iconic instrument will have to fork out a pretty penny to get it. The guitar is currently selling for a whopping $2,299 and will be shipping exclusively to the US, Canada, and Mexico. The model itself is known as a Taylor 314ce, with the PlayStation Gear website (where fans can go to purchase the collectible) claiming that the custom design has a "distinctive rich tobacco sunburst top and a custom moth fretboard inlay in grained ivoroid."

According to the site, the guitar is also "built with solid sapele back and sides and a Sitka spruce top, this model produces a balanced voice across the tonal spectrum with a rich midrange and clear treble notes." Supposedly, its shape offers a "comfortable playing experience and a versatile sound, while a slender, easy-playing neck accommodates players of all styles and skill levels."

For fans wanting more details about the insanely realistic Last of Us 2 replica, PlayStation Gear's site features a full and extensive breakdown on this beautiful guitar model.
