..a guitar is a guitar is a guitar..
As my friend Tina says.. Why do things in SL have to look like they do in RL?
Look at this guitar:
It´s Blindboy Gumbo playing, and I can tell you the guitar sounded really good 
Check Gumbo out – he´s really good! I´ll get back on him later!
No doubt, he is an original – not totally my musical style, but does deserve a place of his own, hehehe
