Show Notes
Richard Walter, curator for Phoenix, Arizona's amazing Musical Instrument Museum, joins us on this week's Fretboard Journal Podcast. We talk about his background, his role at the museum and, most importantly, about MIM's current exhibit, The Electric Guitar: Inventing an American Icon. The exhibit, which closes on September 15, 2019, gathers a wide array of historic and legendary instruments, including Speedy West's Bigsby (profiled in a recent Fretboard Journal) and guitars from Alvino Rey, Bo Diddley and Les Paul.
This episode is sponsored by Mono Cases with special thanks to FJ presenting sponsors Carter Vintage, Martin Guitars and Gibson.
