Welcome to The National GUITAR Museum The guitar is the most enduring icon in American history, and is the world's most popular instrument. The National GUITAR Museum is the world's first museum dedicated to the history, cultural impact, and excitement of the guitar. We celebrate everything about the guitar: the way it's made, the way it's played. This Museum is for the people who play the guitar, the people who make the guitar, and the people who love its music.
We will be launching a Touring Exhibition called "GUITAR: The Instrument That Rocked The World" that will tour the United States beginning in 2011. At the completion of the tour, one U.S. city will be chosen to become the permanent home of the Museum. It is our goal to become more than a National GUITAR Museum; we're going to become the National GUITAR community.

The Instrument Gallery This is where we'll talk about our collection and go into detail about everything from archtops and amplifiers to Spanish guitars and the SynthAxe. It will also be where you can post pictures of your guitar, ask questions about different instruments, and generally learn as much as you want to -- or stare as much as you want to -- about the thousands of makes, models, styles, and variations of the guitar.
A sample: A guitar designed by Alistair Hay, of Emerald Guitars, known as the Bahamut dragon guitar.
