The Gently Weeping Guitar is an enemy in Mother 3 in Club Titiboo's attic. Its battle theme, being a 1950's rock and roll-style piece, is quite similar to that of the New Age Retro Hippie. It is moderately dangerous due to its electric attack which can cause up to 35 damage to all allies. It appears in the boss battle with the Jealous Bass along with the Beaten Drum in which it can attack twice if all instruments are alive, causing about 135 HP per turn (in all). If the Beaten Drum is defeated first, the Guitar can use a sobbing attack (very rarely) which causes 50 HP damage to each party member.

Its battle sound is Battle Sound 26 which falls under Code Numbers 514 for regular attack, 515 for Smaaaash! and 516 for Miss. It makes more sense for him to use this battle sound than it does for Crag Lizard and Cactus Wolf since the battle sound sounds like a guitar.

Trivia

  • The Gently Weeping Guitar is based on a Gibson Flying V.
  • The name of the monster comes from a famous Beatles song called "While My Guitar Gently Weeps".
