Guitar-Shaped Pool

(Tennessee, USA) 

Guitar Shaped Pool by Ace
Armstrong

Spence Manor, a complex of condominiums, was once a hotel of suites famous for having Elvis Presley as a guest while he was recording music in Tennessee. It’s right across the street from the Country Music Hall of Fame, so the owner came up with the idea to install a pool that was shaped like a guitar to draw the attention of tourists. The hotel is no longer functioning; however, the guitar-shaped pool is still there and people who live in the surrounding complex of condominiums can use this curiosity. Furthermore, the popularity of the guitar-shaped pool has spread all across the country and many famous movie people from Hollywood came here to shoot several sequences for their movies.

The design of the pool is brilliant, including small details such as the strings that create the image of that round opening in the guitar, as they are painted in black at the bottom of the swimming pool to look just like a guitar when seen from above.
