World's Biggest Guitar: A GIANT Gibson Flying V Is Actually Playable

You might struggle getting your hands around this one   07-Oct-14

The world's largest playable guitar used to be a Stratocaster, but Gibson have come along to steal the crown.

A giant Gibson Flying V has been unveiled at the New Jersey Liberty Science Center, and it has gone into the Guinness Book of World Records as THE biggest.

The neck on the Flying V would even be a stretch for Steve Vai, with the guitar measuring 16 feet wide and 43 feet long.

But the guitar is actually playable, even though you could never really play it like you would a standard-sized guitar.

The instrument is on display as part of an exhibition celebrating the greatest thing in the world – guitars – and can be seen in the video above.
