For a truly big gig...

I have always had a deep appreciation for oversized roadside attractions like the world's largest non-stick frying pan and ball of twine. I'm also enamored with gigantic versions of every day objects like pencils, candy and basically every item on www.Greatbigstuff.com.

I recently stumbled upon Michael McBride on the internet. He built two of the largest actually playable guitars in the world. They're modeled after the Fender Stratocaster and Telecaster.

Both are 13 feet tall, which is four times the size of a regular guitar. Each of them weigh about 400 pounds and use electronics similar to regular guitars.
