Make: Online : Tesla guitar

Tesla guitar

Dare I say - the most METAL guitar solo ever. To quote its creator, Scopeboy -

I use my Tesla coil as a guitar amp. 250,000 volts of distortion!

Simply put. That is one very electric guitar.

After a day's pondering I still can't figure out how one would connect a guitar to a Tesla coil... Fascinating effect though.
