Thirty-five rare guitars that illustrate the early history of the instrument in America are on display at the Metropolitan Museum of Art until December 7, 2014.
"Early American Guitars: The Instruments of C.F. Martin" traces the birth of the Martin guitar by shedding light on the contributions of Christian Frederick Martin.
