  • Guitar: the Shape of Sound
    Located in New York City, NY
    As seen in Harper’s Bazaar UK, Guitar World, and Design Week The 100 most iconic guitars from around the globe, from early modern beginnings to cutting-edge electric models The guitar is the iconic instrument at the heart of all popular music.
