A guitar set on fire by Jimi Hendrix during a performance is to be sold after it was found in a garage where it had been lain for 40 years. The blazing guitar was a stunt, designed to generate publicity for Hendrix (he was then a relative unknown on the swinging sixties scene).

This giant Flying V style guitar was seen at the New York guitar show. The massive scale length means you can get almost subsonic notes on it. An even bigger guitar was made as a school project at the Academy of Science and Technology, Woodlands, TX. It is over 43 feet long but still playable.

13 year old Calvin Prior wanted to get a £1100 Marshall Amp, so he started busking with his electric guitar on Brighton seafront in the UK. He says he is earning around £70 an hour. He has already bought a £2000 PRS with earnings from busking. I would think it is better to busk with the crappiest guitar possible, people will think you need the money.

This is a picture of some handmade guitar picks (plectrums), posted by a member at MAKE.com. They are cut from gift
cards,  credit cards, hotel room keys, etc. Some are made from other materials like cardboard, "Handi Snacks" stick, CD, Toshiba laptop, and plastic
packaging.

Looks like some lost their assembley instructions from Warmoth!

You can buy this if you want for $400.
