For a musician or music lover, a guitar headstone is a striking, personal tribute. We carve electric and acoustic guitars in granite, painted to match their own guitar, with real strings fitted – set into a black granite headstone or standing on their own.
5 designs shown. Every design can be made in another size or granite colour, or changed to suit you.
Real strings and painted finishes
The guitar is carved and painted to look like the real instrument, then fitted with real strings.
Any guitar, any size
Send us a photo of their guitar and we’ll match its shape and colour.
Granite, size and lettering
Most of our memorials are made in Premium Khammam Ebony Black from our own quarry, which takes a deep mirror polish. They can also be made in Blue Pearl, Bahama Blue, South African Grey, red and green granites – see all granite colours. Cemeteries and churchyards set their own rules on height, width, shape and colour – lawn sections and children’s sections are often stricter. Check with your memorial mason before you choose, and we’ll make the memorial to fit.
