Description[edit]
"The Guitar" was released as the third and final single from Apollo 18. Most of the EP releases, including the US EP, use the "Williamsburgh Mix" of the song (sometimes called the "Williamsburgh Extended Mix"), which adds an 8-second breakdown to the album version.
The cover artwork for the EP features Laura Cantrell (appropriately, holding a guitar), while John Flansburgh appears on the back cover.

- The back cover erroneously credits the front cover photo to "Rolf Conanl", a misspelling of Flansburgh's usual pseudonym, Rolf Conant.
