We present optical observations and radio non-detections of the bow shock nebula associated with the pulsar B2224+65 (the “Guitar Nebula”), and fit an analytic model to the observed bow shock to estimate its inclination and constrain other parameters (distance, pulsar velocity, ISM density). We also test scaling laws for bow shock parameters.
