The one at the Martin factory is bigger but I doubt it's playable.

Here is our tour guide in 2014. It doesn't give you a good idea of the scale. The guitar was built for parade float years ago.

Here's another picture from our 2015 tour.

And it would take a crane to haul the hard case around. That is not a very friendly travel model...

Bet it's got no bottom end.
The mids are half way up, and the highs are so high you can't reach them. 😀
