Tesla coil guitar amp

It may not sound that great, but I'm a big fan of any technology that allows arcs of electricity to shoot between the amplifier and the guitar during a bitching Metallica solo.

Gary61: Agreed, especially if it's Jack White.

Jack White 'plays' guitar? Is that what the kids are calling it now?
(and his sister, what's-her-name, 'Off White'??)

I know Jack Black plays guitar ....

You guys are aware Jack White shows off a Tesla coil in COFFEE AND CIGARETTES? (he doesn't play guitar next to it though).

Take a look at this

I say let's get Jack White and Jack Black to compete in 'Celebrity Air Guitar', we can sell the idea to Fox and make MILLIONS .... millions, I tell ya .....

and I bet Jack Black wins.
Or maybe Jack Gray will win.

Sounds more like Ministry than Metalica. And I'm still waiting for someone to wire one up to a vocoder, so we can have talking Tesla coils. Steven Hawking would definitely need to upgrade to some sort of lightning throwing monster robot body at that point.
