Over 50 guitars are located in the Guitar Gallery: The Quest for Volume within the Museum of Pop Culture. One of them is a 1936 Gibson EH-150 guitar. A nearby placard reads:
This Gibson, made of wood, kept its cool on stage
Gibson kept experimenting, and the wood EH-150 followed close on the heels of the failed 1935 aluminum-body model. The wooden body stayed in tune on stage--and its warm sunburst finish gave the traditional classy Gibson look that customers had come to expect.
