i8 dont know what to say really but i would be happy if someone could tell me what is up with this? my friend sent me this picture and i just went ""

That is Mister Horsepower.
Go here for more info Harmony Central®: Ernie Ball Revs Up with 25 Limited Edition "Mr. Horsepower" Spinal TapGuitars

Ah yes. That'd be one of Nigel Tufnel's guitars. One of the guys on the forum owns one, I think Dizzy but correct me if I'm wrong. It's called "Mr. Horsepower" and no, unfortunately they are not available. Trust me, I tried. Those pickups are four humbucking wired to on-off switches with LED lights under each one to indicate status. The VU meter measures how fast you are picking, and there is a Pool ball on the end of the trem arm. It's a pretty amusing instrument.

 

[Spudmurphy]

Forumite Daveb has one.

There was one on the Strings n Things stand at the Birmingham NEC last week.

 

[guitarman23]

if i win a millions on lottery, ill buy that from someone for soooo much! lol

"The VU meter measures how fast you are picking"

[guitarman23]

well it would be cool to see someone in a video play that baby!

 

[Multiversal]

haha I remember when these came out. I was like.. WTF?!

Hehe....you guys need to stick around and read the forum more. That is indeed a Mr. H - my all time favorite EBMM. BP explained how it came into existence quite some time ago. If I can find the link, I'll post it. DaveB has one, and Scott (not sure of his forum name, but I met him at the open house and at the Desert Bash) has 3 of them. Nigel used his in the 'Return of Spinal Tap' movie. There were 25 made, numbered and signed by Chris Guest.

I'd still give my left @#$ for one.

One of the coolest axes ever made by any company.

 

[Colin]

[mcvinyl]

Yep, Mr Horsepower, plug that in to an amp that goes to 11 and you get the ultimate in tone

Plug that into an amp that goes to 11 and since the Mr. Horsepower probably goes to 11, you've got 22. And I'm pretty sure thats off the scale

[koogie2k]

Yep...Mr. Horsepower. I had the pleasure of playing DaveB's at the SLO Open House. What a fun axe!

I believe there were only 25 made.

I also believe that the #1 was Casey Lee Ball's and it was stolen. So, keep an eye out for it!

 

[glockaxis]

Wow, it was stolen? I don't remember hearing that. Koogs, do ya remember any details of the theft?

Also, there is one on display here at the local music store. Don't know if the owner, Randy, bought it or is just displaying it.

Where is the global warming guitar? Did the auction take place?
