- "Epic guitar riffs create powerful shockwaves of death metal."
- —Combo card description
The Power Guitar is a combo weapon in Dead Rising 2 and Dead Rising 2: Off the Record. It is created by combining an electric guitar with an amplifier.
The Power Guitar's normal attack is a single riff that bursts the heads of any zombies within grabbing range. The heavy attack, unlocked after receiving the combo card, is continuous riffing with the guitar, which will immobilize and eventually burst the heads of nearby zombies as long as it is maintained. Beware that the Power Guitar's attacks can affect humans as well; this includes survivors.

Trivia[]
- Regardless of the color of the electric guitar used, the Power Guitar always shows a black guitar.
- A similar weapon, Nevan, appears in Devil May Cry 3. However, Nevan has a different appearance and origin, as well as a far more complex moveset.
- Due to a glitch, if the player has a Power Guitar and uses the bull skull, Burning Skull, or Super Slicer's alternate attack, the music and sound effects from the Power Guitar's alternate attack will be played.
