Notes
- Used in obtaining Hey Deze nuts for the Pagoda Quest.
- On May 28, 2006, this item was changed from being a usable item to a weapon. It was initially classified as a guitar, but was then changed to an axe. Using this item from the inventory before this date yielded the following messages:
- If you had a guitar pick:
|
| With your pick in hand, you rock the house for a bit. Then the house steadies, and you go about your business. |
- Without a pick:
|
|
| You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't play this guitar without a pick. |
Messages
You play a lightning fast Malmsteen-esque MEEDLY MEEDLY MEEDLY riff. Your opponent writhes and takes X damage. BIFF! BOOF! KAPOW!
You play a song by Maiden. MAAAAIIIDEN! Your opponent sustains X damage from head-banging-induced whiplash. KERBLAM! BOINK! SPLAT!
You smash your perfectly good guitar against <it>. If <it> thinks <it> won't take X damage, <it> has got another thing coming. ZAP! KERBLAM! BARF!
Your heavy metal thunderrr guitarrr goes SKREEDLY MEEDLY MEEDLY WEEEOW SKRRRRANG for X damage. WHACK! BARF! BAM!
References
- The description is a reference to the lyrics of the Steppenwolf song Born to Be Wild, from their 1968 album Steppenwolf: "I like smoke and lightning / Heavy metal thunder / Racin' with the wind / And the feelin' that I'm under"/
- The Melee Damage +11 bonus is certainly a reference to the rock band mockumentary This Is Spinal Tap
- The line "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't play this guitar without a pick" is a spoof of the common nose-picking saying: "You can pick your friends, and you can pick your nose, but you can't pick your friend's nose."
- Axe is a common slang term for an electric guitar.
- The majority of hit messages ("MEEDLY MEEDLY" etc) for this weapon come from Strongbad Emails, a cartoon from HomeStarRunner
- The hit message "If <it> thinks <it> won't take X damage, <it> has got another thing coming." appears to be a reference to the song You've Got Another Thing Comin' by heavy metal band Judas Priest.
