Multi-Coloured Guitars

At the Memphis-Days Inn At Graceland there’s a big blue guitar (yes, of course it’s a pool – here’s ground-level shots).

And all the way over in Tamworth, New South Wales, Australia, there’s the Big Golden Guitar, which is exactly that – a big gold guitar. There’s a ground-level picture on the official site of the Big Golden Guitar Tourist Centre, which is the location for Australia’s Tamworth Country Music Festival.

You can see previously-featured guitars here at Google Sightseeing, and I recently read about a huge piano-shaped pool in Florida… Can anyone find it?

Thanks to Mary and our resident Australian expert, woowoowoo.

    You used to be able to see the actual guitar, but i guess the last update changed that.

    Well, you can see what’s left of the original Hard Rock in Orlando:

    The neck of the guitar stretched out over the road to the right, but they tore that part down when they moved the Hard Rock over to the CityWalk section of Universal Orlando.

    Disney’s All-Star Music resort has a piano-shaped pool:

    Not very easy to tell in this shot, tho, but it’s there!

    Thanks ResideoRob, I’d heard about the Disney one but couldn’t find it! Anyone know of another?
