"The rest of the center's walls are lined with instruments that can be plucked off the wall, taken into the sound room, plugged in, and played by visitors. Each instrument accompanies an informational pick-shaped plaque and is surrounded by photos, album covers, and advertisements that help tell the story. The main wall opposite the entrance features classic examples of Fender's iconic guitar shapes: the Tele, Precision Bass, Strat, Jazzmaster, Jazz Bass, Jaguar, and Mustang."
