This Alabama pool plan is based on a Les Paul guitar shape. The owner is a musician and wants the pool to be shaped by their interest. The spa is an infinity spillway into a trough the forms the neck and fretboard that travels into the main body of the pool. The main pool features a vanishing edge in a small portion to accent the shape. There is a shallow area dedicated for the young children to play that helps keep them from entering the main pool. You would be hard pressed to find another pool plan in Alabama that is as interesting as this one; it even has a planter bed for the guitar pick.
