on 01/10/2011 		I'm a little disappointed that "Premier Guitar" doesn't have premier information concerning Chet Atkins guitars. The Fleur-de-lis guitar is not an SST model. It is a Gibson Studio Classic. I expect better information when it comes to a legendary guitar player. Spend a little more time on your homework, and get your facts straight, Premier Guitar.

To think that many of the guitars in this photo essay have been guitar we have seen or heard at some time during our lives. If you ever get the chance to visit the Martin Museum at the factory in Nazareth, PA, you will see similiar kinds of history. It doesn't get any better than this!

on 11/03/2009 		I love this kind of stuff ... sure it is all sitting in a museum, but it least it hasn't been lost in fires or other catastrophic ends many guitars suffer ... we'd all love to play these guitars, but at least we can appreciate them in a gallery or visiting the Hall of Fame in person, i know I plan on it
