There’s just one thing that’s a little different about this park, which will be located at 2400 South Massachusetts Street. It has a fretboard.

A proposed design for the park was unveiled last summer. True to Hendrix’s legacy, it resembles a guitar. (But no reverse headstock.)

Take a look at the preferred design.

The park will feature lyrics from Hendrix songs on fixtures, rain drums, a sound garden and a performance area. It’s funded partly by a donation from the rocker’s sister Janie Hendrix.

The pool took roughly six to eight weeks to plan and another six to eight weeks to build.

The stunning result is a pool that looks exactly like a 62-foot-long Les Paul Custom guitar, down to the last detail.  McBurney is ecstatic about his rock ‘n roll oasis.

“There’s no way it could have turned out any better than it did,” he said.  ”Every detail is perfect.”

Leo Fender is in the second shot.  No CNC machines back then, everything was done by hand.  It is amazing to realize that every guitar made that year is now worth a small fortune.

Aerosmith 

At the Macy’s shopping launch of the event, Tyler told WWD he was thrilled fans could now buy into the “freak style” he wears onstage and that he’s “honored” to be a new member of the extended Hilfiger family.

As for as the marriage between Tyler’s personal style and his day job as a musician, he said, “I’ve just got more female energy. I like that flowing and nurturing and I’m a songwriter, so I’m into form and fashion and how it all goes together. Always have been, so it’s just perfect.”

Gere sold more than 100 guitars at Christie’s on Tuesday, realizing a total of $936,438, the auction house said. Only four of the 106 instruments on offer failed to sell. The collection was expected to take in about $1 million.

The top lot was a Gibson 1960 Les Paul solid-body electric guitar, which sold for $98,500 including commission, beating the $90,000 high pre-sale estimate. It was bought by a private U.S. collector.

Three of the sale’s top 10 lots were purchased by the CF Martin & Co. Museum in Nazareth, Pa., including a 1931 CF Martin guitar and case that went for $62,500, right in the middle of the pre-sale estimate range.

An anonymous buyer paid $47,500 for a 1960 Gibson Inc. electric guitar, or twice the low estimate.

Which organization would you donate to if you had a million dollars?

Keith Urban

The country music star is showing his support for the Susan G. Komen for the Cure breast cancer charity by playing with the bespoke black Fender guitar throughout his shows.

It also has on its body a pink ribbon, the international symbol of breast cancer awareness.

Urban specially requested for the electric guitar to be produced in time for October, which is National Breast Cancer Awareness Month.

Formed in 1982, the Susan G. Komen for the Cure is a global leader in the fight against breast cancer.

Since it began it has raised $1.9 billion (approximately $1.2 billion) of funding.
