13 foot guitar

[RB86]

Just thought you guys might get a kick out of this. The guy I work for was comissioned to build a "big metal guitar" for a local restaurant chain (wild wing Cafe).

Having been a guitarist for most my life I was able to help guide the design process for scale, placement, etc.

His friend has an industrial Fab shop so we made it there. CNC plasma cutter, massive rolling bender, plenty of miller mig welders, etc.

The large majority is 1/8" mild steel, although some details were 16 gauge and 18 gauge.

Pretty neat project. The first pic is myself standing next to it (I'm 6'1).
