A History Lesson "The Lemelson Center for the Study of Invention and Innovation at the Smithsonian Institution's National Museum of American History provides this new site, which celebrates the evolution of the electric guitar.

From Frying Pan to Flying V: The Rise of the Electric Guitar It contains sections on the invention process, the commercial success of the instrument, and the development of its design. The centerpiece of the site, however, is the annotated gallery of 40 guitars ranging from acoustic to electric to "innovative design." A section explaining how guitars work (with selected sound clips) completes the site." (Quoted from "Scout Report", Febr. 14 '98)
