The electric guitar emblem is over 35 feet high and has become the familiar icon for the Hard Rock Cafe.
According to an article in signindustry.com:
"Of the 166 worldwide Hard Rock Cafe's, approximately 35 sites have gigantic guitar sculptures as a frontispiece of signage indicating that all things rock and roll can be found here. The exterior guitar sculptures are upwardly scaled replicas of famous guitars whose size (ranging from 40-feet to almost 112-feet in length)."
"Each guitar sculpture is a perfect replica of whatever original guitar it duplicated including the guitar body, the neck, the strings (which are neon, making it easily visible at night) and all the tuning keys and frets that combine on a guitar to make it the great instrument that it is. Using standard sign materials of fiberglass, aluminum, steel, neon, and paint, the resulting gigantic guitar sculpture facing its admirers is a thing of beauty - a remembrance to an instrument of great musical heritage."
