I work in a restaurant, and every time meals are delivered, I offer fresh ground pepper out of our massive wooden pepper grinder. As it is long sometimes I end up air guitaring it, and thus leads to the Electric Guitar Salt & Pepper grinder.
Basically it is a mini guitar, with the six strings and
each sting when strung delivers a grind of pepper according to the size of the string, so by playing an A bar cord I could deliver a good mix of pepper, or the top E string for big and chunky.
And for the delivery of salt, easy, a couple of tussles on the wa wa lever and out comes your freshly ground sea salt.
PS: May not be applicable to fine dining, but excellent for 60's Elvis wanna be restaurants.
PSS: The internal workings are still being worked on, and I am unsure as what happens if you break a string.

My understanding is that restaurants use over-sized pepper mills to deter theft; methinks this would make them more desirable to the light-fingered set. But what the heck, this is the loopiest idea I've seen for a pepper mill - croissant. |

What the heck. Bun as well, but I bet by the end of dinner you'll be sick of all the bad guitar solos all around the place, like the wretched singing staff of Coldstone Creamery who belt out something obnoxious and off key every time they get a tip. |

“I’ll have 3 bars of Harry Chapin, please.” |

I am a little concerned myself that this device could be taken into the wrong hands, namely by an eighties rock band, where after breaking into a fifteen minute guitar solo, the whole restaurant breaks into a massive sneezing fit... |

a] I take issue with "Bill and Ted's Bogus Journey" being labelled a crap follow-up. Sure, it suffers like many other sequels do with a feeling of stretched and contrived plot to eek out another film from the characters... But it isn't crap. The first film has So-crates but the second has Death. |
|

Was not Neo himself led on a bogus journey? |
|
| |
[jinbish] I'm with you - Death and "a full-on robot chubby" makes this a worthy sequel. |
|
| |
As long as this doesn't end up in the hands of a wanna be Jimi Hendrix we should be okay...Pepper on your Croissant? |
|
| |
+ Love the idea...but, one question: would the pepper grinder have sound and would it correspond to the chords the wait staff plays or does it just dispense pepper? |
|
| |
You might try making a hurdy-gurdy first. |
|
| |
The only sound it would make would be the grinding of the pepper according to the strenght that the string is plucked, oh and the string may resonate. |
|
| |
And if it gets out of tune. Well thats a whole other ball park. |
|
| |
//kinda dissapointed// oh //kinda dissapointed// I thought it would be kinda fun to have the wait staff tryin' to jam out a tune badly. Maybe it could play a little tune automatically when ya start to grind...perhaps a little Salt 'N' Pepa? (Unh, push it! Push it real good!) |

Nobody would buy this for their restaurant. Ever. |
