Messages

• Weapon-Specific Hit Messages:

You play a wincingly off-key tune on Zim Merman's guitar, shouting "How does it FEEL?" Apparently, it feels like X damage. POW! BAM! SOCKO!

You play a tune on your guitar, just like a woman. It breaks just like a little girl, taking X damage. BAM! SOCKO! BAM!

You strum the guitar and sing twenty verses about an obscure 1960's cult icon. It takes X points' worth of confusion. SPLAT! BOOF! ZAP!

You say, "look out kid, you're gonna get hit," and hit it with a tune from your guitar. Well, you did warn it. BIFF! KERBLAM! BAM!

Notes

• When first rolled out, this could not be used on the stone mariachi. This was eventually fixed by Jick as a minor update.
• Having this item, or any other guitar, and Elvish sunglasses equipped enables the wielder to use the "Play a Guitar Solo" ability once per combat.

References

• The name and description refer to folk singer Bob Dylan, born Robert Allen Zimmerman.
• "And the nice lady" is a reference to comedian Jerry Lewis.
• The first, second, and fourth combat messages are references to the Bob Dylan songs "Like a Rolling Stone," "Just Like a Woman," and "Subterranean Homesick Blues," respectively.
• The third combat message may be a reference to the song "Sad Eyed Lady of the Lowlands," by Bob Dylan.
