Just some guitar nerds, nerdin' out on guitars.

Uh huh. 1949 prototype broadcaster. It's not an LP. But I like it.

Are the guitars also "on loan"?
I thought from previous threads that they owned all of the stuff in the museum.
I am very anxious to see the "Bursts that sold for a million dollars" [each] as reported by another Forum member. :hmm

Im not 100% sure. But it is my understanding that all of the guitars are owned by the museum. As I only loaned '50s Gibson memorabilia. CD can correct me, but I think there were 12 bursts on display. David said something about cooperation from the others to display the rest of the Bursts at one time. :dang

Well I'll be damned, is that how folks do things down here? Never in my whole life have I poured so much sweat from simple leisurely strolls outdoors then as I think "ah, I'm a bit gamey now" I justify it with this thought "I bet everyone else is too." When I visited friends who went to school down south their solution, essential to every dorm room, was "dude, just febreze it!"

Great pictures! I'm going next weekend. Can't wait! We are staying the choo choo hotel.

They also said if you go to the aquarium to save your tickets, because you get a discount.

I've been to the aquarium once before and it's great!

Just wondering... did anybody get pics and serial numbers from their collection?

Curious what a 1K pass gets you in terms of a guitar that you can play?

Actually, I'd be much more interested in a Burst appraisal session, and a blow by blow analysis of two of my 1960's SGs.
