Default Les Paul pool?
Just a "news of the weird" story:

https://www.chron.com/neighborhood/k...e-13515289.php

An 87K Les Paul shaped swimming pool! Now that is one jumbo guitar!

If I was him I'd ask for my money back from the builders. It looks like a PRS singlecut to me.

Ha !! given it's the shallow end, you might get out of tune very quickly, unless you play everything severely flat

Well, OK. Maybe a Whammy bar might be more appropriate for the shallow end!

No Les Paul is complete without a slide.

It needs a couple of PAF inflatable rafts.

I design and build pools for a living. No ones asked me for a guitar pool yet.

That would be a cool project if you could get it.

Cool pool and no need to worry about humidity. Here's what they said, "Teguh Inarsoyo of Katy loves guitars so much he constructed a 60-foot in-ground swimming pool modeled after the Gibson Les Paul 1960 Classic edition in his backyard."

I think it would have been better if they had done a 1961........
