sexygibson Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 One of the old EM models ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JefferySmith Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 The horns don't seem right for an EM. Weren't they more like a long and a short cow horn? Like the Prophecy? I've never seen the off-center fretboard inlays either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ef_in_fla Posted March 5, 2009 Share Posted March 5, 2009 That's the Nigel Tufnel Mr. Horsepower guitar. You could have had one for $5,000 back in 2001. http://www.wolfgangguitars.com/Mr.Horsepower.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The PRO1 and PRO2 have a bolt on neck and different fretboard markers according to the '95 spec list. Here is a photo: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stig Posted March 6, 2009 Share Posted March 6, 2009 From the "This is SPINAL TAP" movie??? How did you even remember it? GOOD CATCH!!! TAP RULES!!!! Not from the movie. From a later Tap reunion. In the movie, it was all super-expensive vintage pieces, except for one scene in a hotel room where he had what looked like a Hondo II. And I think he used one of those tiny Chiquita guitars in there somewhere, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mlp187 Posted April 15, 2009 Share Posted April 15, 2009 I'm holding the brochure right now, no joke. I have 20 of them and I'll be more than happy to send you one, no charge, but I get dibs on that guitar if you sell it =) (seriously!). According to the 1989 brochure I have it is a 935i w/ a set-in neck and a carved poplar body. The official name of the color is Magenta, and the 935i is the only model listed as offereing this color in the brochure. Congratulations, I am truly jealous!!! I have a metallic red 635i.

wedgeSG Posted April 16, 2009 Share Posted April 16, 2009 EF_in_FL thanks so much for the history on the Nigel Music Man... I recoginized it instantly but I had no idea that it/they actually existed beyond the one in the film. Never saw close ups either, it's really put together to stay rather than just look good for the camera....amazing. Last year somebody sold a copy of the Marshall Stack guitar on Ebay I couldn't believe that someone had duplicated it so well...complete with the seperate lower cab even. Recently I saw a fretboard somewhere that had the same marker-inscribed notation on it and I wondered what the thought process behind "that" was now I know. I love the real cut down Muncie shift lever, tach looks like an old Dixco. I'm feeling really inspired all of a sudden........ Wedgie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
