definitely a . . . unique piece. Very Nigel-esque, to say the least. Will say though that the craftsmanship is downright amazing. Agree with Axilla. A true work of art. How do you guys do it?

See you on the battlebayfield dave!

This guitar is pardon the pun - Out of this world - lights and everything - very tap, very ball.

Well done guys this will surely be a huge talking point.

Hilarious and amazing all at once. I love everything about it. I'd love to see footage of Nigel upon receiving the finished piece...

I think the guitar should go to whoever can get the highest temperature reading on the fingerboard!

I just talked to Chris GUest at rehearsal. He had just seen it for the first time 10 minutes ago. He was pretty much speechless. He could not fathon the workmanship, creativity and engineerng and the best neck he has ever felt. He had to hand up because they were up but Jeff Beck was standing there and he is getting a photo of Jeff playing the guitar.

He also couldn't believe that we would go so hard at this. He couldnt thatnk me enough and pass on the compliments to Dudley Jon and the crew.

Dramatic Irony

Of couse the beauty of the moment is that the character of Nigel Tufnel is based on Jeff Beck.

This was a test of creativty, logistics, timing and precision. It must feel great to know your team is up to the challenge. I'd say all expecatations have been exceeded.

Will undoubtedly be MUCH discussed/admired/pawed/groped/drooled upon/ and of course derided by the envious/ backstage.

"Did you see the Global Warming guitar?? You have to check this thing out! It's got, like, this snow globe and a thermometer in the neck and a fruit dispenser in the back! I think it has a cfc filter that converts carbon emissions to upper level ozone. The more Nigel plays, the more he repairs the ozone layer! Who? EBMM. Exactly - who else could? Nigel is sooo lucky"

(It could happen...)
