Yesterday, I did a Google Images search using the words “guitar shaped”. Here are some of the things I found.

Guitar Shaped Ice Cubes

These would be perfect for a fondue/cocktail party where a lot of guitarists would be in attendance. Doesn’t seem too wise, does it?

Guitar Shaped Boat

Seems a little awkward but, in a charming way.

Guitar Shaped Elvis Popcorn Container

There are a lot of Elvis related, guitar shaped items; wall clocks, handbags and such but, this was one of the more unique things I saw.

Guitar Shaped Pool

I suppose we’ve all at least, seen photos of a guitar shaped pool. This one is of the pool at the Super 8 across from Graceland, speaking of Elvis. I’ve stayed at this motel but, when I was there the pool was out of service and looked a little slimy. I don’t have my own photo but, I found this one at a page called “Richard and Suzanne’s Big 1999 Road Trip Stage 3″. I wonder if Richard and Suzanne envisioned this being used as a reference.

Guitar Shaped House

I was unable to find any information on this house but, as if by magic, J-Walk had a post on this very house today! It was built by songwriter, Elvis Carden.

Born and raised in Georgia, Elvis started singing and playing the guitar at age 9. He joined the army and served 13 months in Vietnam, after which he wrote and recorded “Vietnam Blues,” which became a #1 hit. After leaving the Army, Elvis came home to Palmetto, Georgia, and designed the house of his dreams: The Guitar House located in Fayetteville, GA, where his mother Lois Carden resides.

Guitar Shaped Estate?

Couldn’t find much about this place other than it’s in Birmingham, Alabama.

Guitar Shaped Museum

Tennessee seems to have the most guitar shaped landmarks, this museum is in Bristol.

70 feet long, three stories tall, the guitar neck inlay and sound hole are windows.

The Guitar Museum houses collection of rare and unusual instruments, including guitars, ukuleles, lap steels, resonator guitars, banjos, mandolins, dulcimers, auto harps, and violins. They range from primitive American handmade to exotic instruments from different countries.

Guitar Shaped Toilet Seat

From Jammin’ Johns, of course.

Guitar Shaped Coffin

Made by Vic Fearn and Co. It’s a little unsettling that the coffin model seems to be having such delight.

And finally….

A Giant Chocolate Chip Cookie!
There are all kinds of guitar shaped cakes, desserts and such out there but, I’m partial to Giant Chocolate Chip Cookies and Stacey makes the best stuff.
