Totally epic Whoa! Yeah, "whoa" is right.
It's a solid emerald flying-V guitar, smelted together from a thousand years of pure heavy metal.

That's the most metal thing I've ever seen.
You want it? Heck, yeah! Hold on there, rock star.
This guitar comes at a cost.
If I give it to you, you will owe something to me.
Cool.
It may come at a time and in a way that you shall most dread.

So you may want to think about it.
Meh.
It could come at any time! Sure.
Like tomorrow.

I didn't give it to you.
In fact, it's time for you to pay up, Buttercup.
Pay up?! I don't have any money! Buttercup, what's going on? Oh, I don't need money.
All I need is a drummer [snaps fingers.]
[Screams.]
And a bassist.
