A Must-Visit Stop on Your Nashville Trip!

💗Tucked away on the Belmont University campus, The Gallery of Iconic Guitars (The GIG) at Belmont may be compact in size, but it's full of surprises. 🔆The five-dollar admission offers great value for money. As we followed our guide Lauren through the display cases, her explanations brought each guitar to life. 💎From 19th-century classical guitars to custom instruments owned by contemporary stars, nearly a hundred exhibits quietly narrate the evolution of music. 🌈Henry demonstrated the tonal characteristics of different guitars for us. When he played that 1965 Gibson, the entire space seemed immersed in the ambiance of bygone days. ⭐The collection includes many precious items: custom models used by Elvis Presley in performances, the folk guitar Taylor Swift used when writing her early songs, and those classical instruments inlaid with mother-of-pearl. #GalleryOfIconicGuitars #NashvilleMusic #InstrumentMuseum
