Quick Draw McGraw is a Hanna-Barberacartoon character, voiced by Daws Butler. He was a sheriff, but sometimes took on the identity of El Kabong. He was accompanied by his deputy, Baba Looey, also voiced by Butler.
Although Quick Draw was himself a horse, this did not stop the animators from depicting him riding into town on a "real" horse.
El Kabong attacked his foes by swooping down on a rope and hitting them on the head with an acoustic guitar, producing a distinctive kabong sound and destroying the guitar in the process.
As ElKabong, Quick Draw would attack his foes by swooping down on a rope and hitting them on the head with an acoustic guitar which is always referred to as a "kabonger", producing a distinctive kabong sound and sometimes destroying the guitar in the process.
On the cartoon's soundtrack, the "kabong" sound was produced by a foley artist striking the detuned open strings of a cheap acoustic guitar.
Quick Draw's "ElKabong" alter-ego has made an impact in the professional wrestling world; the name "ElKabong" was first used by then-Extreme Championship Wrestling commentator Joey Styles to describe when a popular ECW wrestler, New Jack, used an acoustic guitar as a weapon during a match.
