Lorraine Robinson from Fairy Meadows Miniatures made this dollhouse inside a guitar for her daughter, as a 25th birthday present: "She is a music and travel buff and just about to start a new episode in her life and attend Flinders University."

I write books. My latest is a YA science fiction novel called Homeland (it's the sequel to Little Brother). More books: Rapture of the Nerds (a novel, with Charlie Stross); With a Little Help (short stories); and The Great Big Beautiful Tomorrow (novella and nonfic). I speak all over the place and I tweet and tumble, too.

    Won’t someone think of the luthiers!?!?

    This would be the perfect guitar with which to play the old AQUA hit song “BARBIE GIRL”

    Not familiar with electric acoustics as far as how much room inside the case the electronics and pickups require….. but that would be that much cooler if it was a functioning electric acoustic and dollhouse.

    Also just saying the fact that the guitar has a tiny dollhouse guitar in it is entertainingly meta :D

    The small black guitar on the lower floor needs a dollhouse in it.

    • Randy Walters

      And another guitar inside that…

      From there, it’s dollhouses and guitars all the way down.

      At that rate, how many iterations would it take before you’re at the sub-atomic particle level?

    • noah django

      “… maple syrup and jam”.  annnnnd now I’m cueing up Prince on my iTunes.

      this dollhouse is fucking cool.  anyone know who the group of people in the poster above the mini-guitar is? 

  • beepbeep

    Pretty nifty looking, but nonetheless I can only hope that the guitar was totally non-functional before it got its ‘makeover’.

      I hope it was fully functional
