Richard Walter, curator for Phoenix, Arizona\u2019s amazing Musical Instrument Museum, joins us on this week\u2019s Fretboard Journal Podcast. We talk about his background, his role at the museum and, most importantly, about MIM\u2019s current exhibit, The Electric Guitar: Inventing an American Icon. The exhibit, which closes on September 15, 2019, gathers a wide array of historic and legendary instruments, including Speedy West\u2019s Bigsby (profiled in a recent Fretboard Journal) and guitars from Alvino Rey, Bo Diddley and Les Paul.
