One of the last questions that needed to be answered about the Waukesha GuitarTown Project was where the 10, 10-foot guitars and the 17 playable guitars would reside.
That question has now been answered, as two days before the guitars will be unveiled to the public at the GuitarTown festivities in downtown Waukesha, the locations of the 27 artistically-designed guitars have now been announced.
Below are the locations of the 10-foot guitars with the artists who designed them. They will be part of an outside walking tour in downtown Waukesha for three years.
