What else can be said? hmmmm---Ted Nugent? (motor city mad man) Ozzy is pretty big on props, I could picture his guitarist with one. It would be great to strum at your local Earth Day celebration!!!

       What, in a guitar, needs to be powered? Amplifiers need power, but if the gasoline is used for this you just have a mobile generator, as baked at thousands of outdoor gigs.

       I think you need to read this a bit better it is NOT seen on mtv and its a PROP wich means its not real, I'm guessing this is a guitar with an engine on it, no doubt metalica fans and bogans would love this, and bogan metalica fans would cream themselves.

       st3f: please read the summary again

       So I guess, Ratita, the only thing you never saw is baked since it is the obvious thing left once you eliminate all the things you did see...

       If you had a tiny model airplane engine in a guitar, you could adjust the amount of fuel by pressing against fuel feedlines where the frets are & hence alter the tone. Maybe a REAl 'flying V' at last!

       "...probably the only prop I *NEVER* saw on MTV..."
Emphasis mine.

       Ratita: As correctly pointed out by Gulherme, phoenix and yourself, I completely misread the summary line. (MFD removed). I'm apologise for any trouble caused. Sorry.

       Hey. I am a guitar player myself and I think this is a great idea. If it ever comes out, I will use one in my band sometimes. Most of the time, Im sticking to my wonderful electric.

       Back to angel's question - what part of a guitar needs powered?

namaste, Aug 17 2002
  

       don't you think that a gasoline powered guitar would make a lot of noise?

       I've seen an electric guitar with a built in gas powered chain saw on The Tom Green show, which aired on MTV. It was fully functional as well.
