RE: giant guitar (in reply to boral)

hey, this would be a great idea for a flamenco bar.
A huge flamenco guitar with a little stage and a bar and some chairs in it....

This guy stole my idea. I'm currently building one in my backyard. The soundhole is a pool.

yeah, but you would lose some of the projection of the trebles with a guitar this big.....

i seem to remember there was a picture of a giant guitar in one of Donn Pohren's books, with all the moron del gastor crowd he hung out posing with it....

Hi boral,

No, I haven't gotten one yet. However, it is on my Christmas wish list so hopefully Santa got my letter

I'll tell you who could play this thing. Vicente Amigo. Have you seen his fingers? Surely long enough to wrap around a neck that big.

Tom,
I'm sorry to have to tell you that Santa has gone into receivership and the dwarfs have been laid off.

Only a taxpayer bail-out can save them now.
