The Les Paul custom guitar was designed by Aqua-Tech for avid guitar collector Garry McBurney. In 2011, Aqua-Tech created this creative project, which was originally intended to be a hot tub. McBurney asked Aqua-Tech specifically for a Les Paul Custom guitar that no one else would have. The owner of Aqua-Tech Glen McGillivray used a 3D computer software called Pool Studio to create the design to resemble McBurney’s favorite guitar.
Aqua-Tech stencilled over the liner to create the on switch and strings. The expansive, impressive pool has two staircases and is 63-feet long. The entire project’s planning process took six to eight weeks, and another six to eight weeks for its actual construction. McBurney and his wife now have a unique backyard pool that doesn’t compare to any other.
