Beat 'em up with Beat Guitars! Powerful and fun melee weapons!

This mod is a collection of Umpa's guitars that you can use as powerful melee
weapons. I know there are mods like that already, but they don't have good
sound, or they have only Baseball Bat vanilla sounds. So I detuned my real-life
guitars and made some twangy impact, miss, block, and equip sounds myself.
Furthermore I revised all damage stats, and added everything to Leveled List,
so that various NPC's can use them. Every guitar is available as a one hand and
as a two hand version. There is a (locked and non-respawning) trunk in Doc
Mitchell's house with all guitars in it.



FEATURES:

- Acoustic, Electric, and Bass models.
- Many different sounds for equip, unequip, miss, block, and flesh impact.
- All guitars available in one hand melee, and in two hand melee versions.
- 1H versions are intended for the player, as they don't block the view so much.
- 2H versions are intended for NPC's because the one hand versions do not look
  right when unequipped.

I made the guitars rather powerful because I don't want my companions to go for
other weapons all the time:

- Acoustic Guitar stats are based on The Humble Cudgel (Unique Lead Pipe), but
  with better damage, criticals, and DPS.

- Electric Guitar stats are based on Knock Knock (Unique Fire Axe) but with
  lower damage for one hand models, higher damage for two hand models, better
  criticals, and better DPS.

- Bass stats are based on Oh, Baby! (Unique Super Sledge).

  One hand Bass models have higher attack multiplier, very high critical
  multiplier, resulting in very high DPS.

  Two hand Bass models have higher damage, higher attack multiplier, very high
  critical multiplier, and high DPS.

  (By the game's design, one hand models always have a higher DPS.)

- Gibson Firebird has flamer effect on impact.
- One hand Bass models have paralyzing effect "MissFortuneParalysisSpell" on
  critical hit.
- Two hand Bass models have "MaulerKnockdownSpell".

- All guitars available from a locked trunk in Doc Mitchell's house
- All guitars are available from vendors
- Two handed Acoustic Guitars will appear frequently on many NPC's, from level 1.
- From level 8, two handed Electric Guitars will appear on NPC's such as Fiends
  and Legion, but they are rare.
- Bass Guitars should appear from level 16 on Supermutants. Go to Black Mountain
  if you're past level 16. The Bass Guitars are perfect for companions.

- All guitars can be repaired with other guitars

- I did not make artistic changes to the models/meshes, that is way out of my
  league. I did however change the metal collision sound flag for some guitars
  into a wood flag so that dropping guitars on the ground gives a wood impact
  sound and not a metal sound.

- I have left out Umpa's BC Rich guitar because that's not a guitar.

TODO:

When unequipped, the one handed models are worn like a sword, at the side of
the NPC. I'd like that to be changed to wearing them on the back. When equipped,
the two handed models have the back of the guitar forward, which is maybe a
little odd. Maybe they should be rotated 180 degreed on their axis.

I know next to nothing about modeling and editing meshes, so any help would be
appreciated.
