Seen in Chicago, IL in Lincoln Park.
Apparently...not a guitar, as originally thought. I'm no musician or identifier of musical instrumentation nor have I ever claimed to be such.
UPDATE:
Scott Smith at Time Out Chicago featured this photo in one of his blogs.

In my back garden, Worcestershire, England, United Kingdom. Taken in the morning of Friday 15th November 2016.
Note: My camera was incorrectly set to the wrong year, the EXIF recorded the year as 2015, but it is really 2016.
About this photograph.
This is Marie, whom was known as LadyArtist on the model booking websites.
Marie was booked for a two hours photo-shoot project at my home. The first hour was to be standard modelling as part of a graphic design project, and the second hour was to be glamour kind of modelling.
The first hour was split into two parts. The first part was to be a general winter style fashion wear, modelling in fur coats, wearing a scarf, with jeans tucked into knee-length boots. Those can be found in my Photostream and Albums. Most of the shoots were to be used in various graphic design projects, such as magazines, catalogues, adverts, etc.
Now about the second part…
I explained to her that for this task, I needed a fictional female singer/songwriter posing for a fictional CD album art cover as part of my graphic design project. The character she pretends to be, would be a singer/songwriter, is a guitarist, and plays rock / alternative rock / soul or thereabouts. Say for example, the likes of Sharleen Spiteri, Sheryl Crow, etc.
It is not just only for a CD album art cover, but also for anything else related to the album, like tour poster, advert, magazine interview, etc, in additional to the mock-up CD case.
I asked her to pose in this black fur jacket, while keeping the rest of her outfit as she worn, carry my acoustic guitar, and stand beside the back wall of the outbuilding. The reason for this location, the need for this kind of background, is because I may want to create the album’s title on it in the form of a writing on the wall.
I may be deaf with speech impaired, so communications can sometimes be difficult, but as a very good and experienced model herself, she was able to understand my project, my plan, and my instructions, and carried out her task very well. I got the kind of shots I planned for and hoped for.
After that, bearing in mind that I was a busy full-time single parent, I did manage to get some graphic design artwork done while the kids were at school. But that task was done using CorelDRAW software on my old 32-bit Windows XP computer, and I later upgraded to a new computer with 64-bit Windows 7 Professional Edition, so sadly the old CorelDRAW software was incompatible with the new computer. As a result of this, I took the opportunity to switch to Adobe software (InDesign, Illustrator, Photoshop, etc.,) but I have not yet had a chance to try to convert the old Corel files into the new Adobe format. I also consider on redoing the project, by improving it.
So, this is the story of the photo-shoot.
About LadyArtist.
Marie was a model (either professional or amateur, I forgotten which), and adverted on a few of the model booking websites like PurplePort and similar, under her handle of LadyArtist. But at least two years after this photo-shoot I did, she had passed away of cancer or something. I only found out two years after her death (four years after the photo-shoot), when I saw her online account was turned into some kind of a memorial by her husband. I believe by now, most of her accounts have been deactivated.
About my project.
In 1987-89, I studied traditional graphic design at college, while working for a professional photographer as a darkroom technician and photographer’s assistant. After leaving college, it was difficult to get a job because of discrimination, due to my being a deaf person. Because the college did not have much computers, the graphic design I did was the old fashion way, pencils, pens, masking tapes, prints, glue, etc., so while unemployment and seeking a job, I did self-study in digital graphic design.
For me, photography is not a hobby. I do enjoy doing photography, but not as a hobby, I would prefer it should be as a career. I considered photography as my first choice, while graphic design as my secondary choice. When I became single parent, I put it all on hold to look after the kids.
At first, when the kids were old enough, I attempted to do some graphic design for myself, mostly to keep my skills going, and to keep a portfolio full of fresh ideas to show to employers during interviews. Or if needed, I would consider going freelance for myself.
Most of my graphic design projects are generally more of publicity and media, like posters, book covers, DVD covers, etc., Often I would design CD album art covers, and this photo-shoot is part of the project. Usually I prefer to try to use my own photographs rather than rely on stock images.

Bass anyone? Guitar or perhaps a ukulele? Keyboards were off to the side, fiddles or, if you prefer, violins were in the other room along with guns, lots of power tools, jewelry, videos, etc. I was in a pawnshop and walked out after buying a fiddle for my youngest son. It was a birthday present purchased a month late.

Walking through Battery Park, ten years ago, I remember coming across all kinds of serendipitous musical experiences. A band was playing soul music; next I saw a rabbi performing a wedding, singing the whole thing, בָּרוּךְ אַתָּה beautifully in Hebrew under a חֻפָּה (huppah) that was almost blown away by the wind, and a little farther up, a distinguished gentleman was playing a tune that the Shazam app does not recognize, on a string instrument I think is an erhu.
I loved it.
If anyone knows the tune, please let me know the title, though I probably will not be able to read it...😆
The double bass, also known as the upright bass, standup bass, or contrabass, is the largest and lowest-pitched bowed string instrument in the modern symphony orchestra. It's the only modern bowed string instrument that is tuned in fourths.

As part of the Festival Mosaic 2013, String Theory ensemble performed their Renaissance to Rock style of music, with dancers, to a sold out crowd in See Canyon this weekend, 7.21.2013.
This hybrid performance group uses some invented string and exotic percussion instruments to produce unique and contemporary sounds. The circular or long string harp uses brass strings up to 100 feet long to resonate a linear vibration, vice, the normal round/circular vibrations of all other string instruments. It is played with resin coated gloves and can be viewed and heard in this 1 minute youTube video here:

See images below for a peek at this one-of-a-kind instrument.
