The Electric Guitar is a musical instrument that doubles as an improvised two-handed weapon. It trains the Long Blunt skill. It swings fast for a two-handed weapon and has a high crit chance.
As a weapon it sits between the Acoustic Guitar and the Electric Bass. It hits far harder than the acoustic model and a little softer than the bass. When it breaks it leaves a Broken Electric Guitar Neck, which still works as a club. The Electric Guitar is a common find in house closets and band practice rooms. The Construction Worker is the best occupation for long blunt. It starts with the most Long Blunt skill.
Combat
The Electric Guitar swings faster than the base speed and reaches 1.35 tiles. Each hit deals between 0.8 and 1.2 damage. The crit chance starts at 55 percent, and a crit doubles the damage.
Both hands stay on the neck while it is equipped. The quick swing and long reach let it keep a single zombie at bay. It suits a fight against one or two zombies in the first days.
The Long Blunt skill raises damage, crit chance and swing speed as it levels. The Electric Bass hits a little harder, crits more often and lasts longer. The guitar is lighter and swings slightly faster. The Acoustic Guitar is far weaker and breaks within a few hits. A proper bat or pipe replaces any guitar as soon as one turns up.
Repair
The Electric Guitar has 10 condition, and each hit has a 1 in 7 chance of taking a point off. The Long Blunt and Maintenance skills both lower that chance. Duct Tape and Adhesive Tape repair it with no skill. Zip Ties need Maintenance 1, Epoxy needs Maintenance 3, and Epoxy with Rags needs Maintenance 4. Every repair restores less condition than the one before it. Once it breaks in a fight, the neck stays in the hands as a one-handed club.
Locations
The Electric Guitar is a fairly common find in homes. The best odds are in closets and in band practice rooms, where it sits in boxes, crates and metal shelves. Bedroom boxes and crates and pawnshop storage rooms hold one now and then. Attics, halls, garage storage and living room lockers turn one up less often. Pawnshop display cases, storage units and survivor safehouses carry only a small chance.
