Guitars and other fretted instruments 1920-1970:
50 years of growing popularity.

To the collection
Since 2004 I've been collecting guitars, banjos, mandolins, ukuleles as well as a host of related items. Each one has its own significance, and all together they tell a story: what lay behind the popularity that evolved over half a century or more, and how did instrument makers respond to the growing demand for cheaper, louder and better gear?
If you thought you knew everything: here's more!
