Guitar World Records

Guitar world records go beyond the standard rockstar posturing. Record holders have played the instrument at high speeds, shown off their riff repertoires with a little help from Led Zeppelin or Hendrix's back catalogs and even used their guitars as paddles for hitting table tennis balls. For those who are about to rock these records, we salute you.
