• Even when the Engineer doesn't hit anything, his guitar still breaks into pieces.
• The model for the guitar is right handed, but the kill icon guitar is left handed.
• Like the Soldier's Kamikaze, the Engineer seems to able to carry a limitless amount of guitars, always having another one ready despite how many he smashes. Unlike the Kamikaze, however, the Engineer is not meant to be killed with his Taunt attack.
