Big!

Anyone else seen this series on the Discovery Channel?

This week they built a 30-some-odd feet guitar (ten meters or so) based on a boutique design from Baratto Guitars. They got a gigantic humbucker custom-built by Seymour Duncan himself, who also helped build the guitar. It had a poplar neck, a walnut fretboard, a density-board body with truss framing, and custom-built tuners and bridge-plate built from aluminum. Then they used piano wire for strings, tuned it to open-E, and got Peter Frampton to come give it a try through a massive Ampeg amp putting out 600 watts through a 36x10" speaker cabinet (that's 36 speakers).

It was pretty cool to watch... most of it was pretty cheesy, but hey, it's still kinda cool. The Seymour Duncan stuff was especially good.
