Partners & Sponsors The National GUITAR Museum has already begun forging relationships with partners and sponsors around the country. In an effort to make this a truly national museum, our plan is to work with organizations, individuals, and corporations that have as strong a desire to see the guitar presented, promoted, and preserved as we do. You'll find links to our partners, as well as to upcoming events that the NGM is participating in as part of our national guitar outreach.
