PAPER BACK BEIGE. Condition: GOOD. Covers: mimimal wear. Interior: charts. cott Chinery was best known as the owner of one of the world's most impressive and extensive guitar collections. But his greatest accomplishment wasn't the fact that he acquired more than 1,000 instruments-his foremost achievement was making the general public realize that the guitar is a work of art and an important icon of American culture. Scott worked ardently to elevate respect for guitars and to make Americans realize that the guitar was a valuable national treasure. Perhaps his most significant contribution was inspiring the Smithsonian Institution's Museum of American History to devote an exhibition to the American guitar. Scott Chinery suddenly passed away on October 24, 2000. He was only 40 years old, but the enthusiasm and respect for guitars that he inspired will live on for many generations to come DATE PUBLISHED: 1984 EDITION: 109.
