About this mod

Adds a series of scratch-designed electric guitars to the Capital Wasteland alongside a factory.

Permissions and credits
Some guitar models put together using CAD software (Read:inefficient models) and transferred to Fallout 3. Six varieties: natural, wine red, stealth, denim, a signature model and of course the obligatory secret model.

You should occasionally stumble across guitar strings in loot; these can be used to repair your guitars. The original idea was that the strings found in loot would reveal the location of the factory and thereby the guitars, but it just didn't really work that well. In any case, there's plenty of strings in the factory.

The sounds were recorded by myself. If you'd like to use them (some are spare, such as the harmonies loop) feel free but please accredit.

The Geo Signature model is a bit odd because it's a flamethrower with a steel neck and a golden embossed dragon... what happens when you let a nine-year-old design a guitar, I guess. (though he's not allowed to play the game, don't worry)

There was a raider party very close to the factory. I have moved this ~50m backwards to reduce weird behaviour. The pathgrid has also been adjusted to accomodate the factory.

Although I spent many hours adjusting the guitars to fit the player as well as possible, it isn't by any means a perfect fit and some clipping is to be expected even when without armour and especially with power armour. Ironsights are disabled to stop the player sticking their head down the neck i.e. through the body.

I'd advise even if you usually have specular maps disabled, enable them just for this mod. The woodgrain looks superb when the highlights come out.
