But there’s more to this art installation than meets that tired, post-flight eye. These famous guitars sit atop our baggage claim carousels, and are made of fiberglass and decorated with the minds of local creatives. Commissioned by Gibson Guitars almost 20 years ago, the guitars are now part of the …
