The exhibit also boasts a display of incredible celebrity guitars like the Gibson Firebird held by rock legend Johnny Winter and Vic Flick’s Essex Paragon used to create the memorable “James Bond” theme. There is plenty more for the music-junky to explore in this spectacular exhibit dedicated to the guitar.
