Smithsonian Exhibit about Guitars

And … to think how upset we all were when Bob Dylan “went electric …”

Here’s an interesting site for you about an exhibit of guitars at the Smithsonian …

“This exhibit features instruments that illustrate how innovative makers and players combined the guitar with a pickup (sensor) and amplifier to create a new instrument and a new sound that profoundly changed popular music–blues, country, rhythm and blues, jazz, and rock and roll — in the 20th century.” — from the website.
