None taken, but thank you. New Gretsch videos often get a duplicate post unintentionally.
As far as I know, a great part of the instruments in that museum comes from the BTO guitarist Randy Bachman's personal Gretsch collection (he had circa 300 instruments if I am correct). The tell-tale story says that Fred Gretsch came smiling with humor and joke to Randy Bachman "can I buy my museum ?" 
A+!

I remember seeing the grand opening video. Great that we have a "museum" dedicated to these amazing instruments. I just find it disappointing that most of them are hanging 15 to 20 ft in the air instead of available for an up-close view.

Safer that way.
Safer maybe, but if I drove a couple hundred miles to see them and then couldn't get any closer than that? I'd be mighty, mighty disappointed.
I think Blueruins passes the lobby every day(or used to) and posted pics before.
I’m with you on the height thing. Most visitors are likely musicians and would prefer to see them up close. The museum planners designing the layout obviously don’t play any instruments.
They could simply put them in a case of some sort. They’d probably attract less dust than hanging high.

Enough guitars are out of reach already.
