Few things are better than owning an Alfa Romeo, and even fewer than an Alfa Romeo guitar handmade by the Harrison Custom Guitar Works in the UK. Fusing one of the world’s most celebrated sports cars with one of the world’s most adored musical instrument, this marriage of sorts plays on the similarities between the two.

The Similarities
The sameness in the two objects that we generally tend to miss are many, such as their capabilities to give off breathtaking performances, and their ability to draw crazy attention of the female population. When you put the two together and get an Alfa Romeo guitar, you can only imagine what kind of elation you’re in for.
Recreating The Alfa Romeo
Custom made by Harrison Custom Guitar Works, this deadly guitar was created to recreate the very curves and intensity that a typical Alfa Romeo gives off. The Alfa Romeo guitar is made up of carbon fiber composite behind its grille bars, and milled aluminum pickups, a bridge and tail piece in the back.
The Alfa Influence
The body of the Alfa Romeo guitar is fashioned in a maple-fronted poplar, which is colored in the same vibrant red of the Alfa Romeo. The neck is made out of a carbon-reinforced 25-inch scale in Korina, that is covered by an Ebony fingerboard. To complete the look, the guitar is given an Alfa badge functioning as volume control to deliver the decadence that it stands for.
Sale And Make
The company is building only 11 of these majestic guitars to reflect each decade of the history of the Alfa Romeo. They might increase the number of guitars built at one time soon though, because the 12th decade of the Alfa Romeo is fast rolling in. You can get yours made to order within eight months of placing your order, and you will be charged about $6,800 in USD.
