Say goodbye to a normal-looking skyline in Hollywood, Florida. The city's Seminole Hard Rock Hotel & Casino has begun construction on a 450-foot-tall guitar, which will contain 638 hotel rooms and a 41,000-square-foot spa when it is completed in 2019, Curbed reports.

"It will be the first building in the world that's truly to scale designed as an authentic guitar," said Hard Rock International chairman James Allen, describing something no one knew we needed. Allen added in comments to the Sun-Sentinel at the unveiling of the concept back in October: "It's not just an exterior façade. The curving of the building will be identical to an authentic guitar."
