The largest body guitar you will ever see!

Andy McKee is playing what is called an Arch Guitar or some people call it a Harp Guitar.

 

Lidsay Mac is playing a cello.

 

This is the biggest one I've seen:

According to http://broadwaymusicco.com/harmony.htm it is 9 foot tall and absolutely functional. It was made as a promotional display item by the Harmony Company in 1970. The Harmony Guitar Company ceased operations in 1975 and all equipment, supplies, parts and completed guitars were sold at auction. No word as to whether this behemoth was among the auction items.

 

I would really, REALLY, love to know the whereabouts of this guitar.

 

Reports say that even though it was 'functional', the tone was kind of dead and quite low, as expected.
