I have a couple pounds of Mammoth tusk that was given to me by an native Alaskan friend. He teaches traditional carving at a college up there.
Pretty cool stuff, but I don't know what I'm going to do with it, yet.

Mammoth material needs a mammoth guitar
This is a picture postcard of ex Narrandera Policeman Kevin Barber outside the Tourist Information Centre with the World's Largest Playable Guitar - 5.820 metres x 2.019 metres and it usually resides inside the Narrandera Tourist Centre, Australia.

Nice guitar but the action is kinda high.

Is that a short-scale or long-scale Brobdingnagian giant guitar?
Betcha Paul Wilczynski would know

It is definitely too big to fit into my trunk...

Umm ... I think "wooley" in the title should be "wooly" ... and wouldn't the Cavern be an appropriate venue?

The only Cavern that guitar would fit in is Carlsbad!

I was driving through Narrandera during Easter '06 and tried to play that guitar, Kent..... c'est almost impossible!!
I managed to get an out-of-tune Em of sorts out of it but......
Ideally you'd have one person per string to do the fretting and something like a tennis racquet to strum it.
Oh..... and a very large pair of fencing pliers to tune it!!!
