[www.keralites.net] Dubai to get tallest guitar at 36 metres
Dubai: Dubai is securing another landmark that comes with the "tallest" tag, and this time it is not a tower.
At 118 feet (approximately 36 metres), the local Hard Rock Cafe is building the world's tallest guitar to mark its re-opening at a new location. The original Hard Rock Cafe closed in March 2009 and will be relocated in the Dubai Festival City in October.
"In keeping with the tradition of Hard Rock Cafe, the new restaurant will incorporate an iconic electric guitar. This will be the tallest guitar anywhere in the world," said Phillip Evans, Director of Commercial and Retail Leasing for DFC owners Al Futtaim Group Real Estate.
"It will be near the cruising boulevard so that the guitar can be seen by those travelling on Business Bay Crossing," Evans said.
In a statement, Hard Rock International said, "Not to be content with the sheer magnitude of the (relocated) cafe's size, this Hard Rock will also include an iconic 118-foot guitar which is anticipated to be the largest in the world and will be submitted to the Guinness Book of World Records".
While construction of the new 26,400 square-foot Hard Rock Cafe is finished, the mother of all guitars is still on the drawing board
