Ornament measures approximately 5 inches and looks just like an electric guitar, made of mouth blown glass and hand painted and glittered in red, black and blue.

The Electric Guitar was developed in the 1930s and firmly established the following decade with Gibson, Fender and Les Paul all offering their own models. Working to eliminate feedback with a solid wooden body, the sound was amplified electrically. In time, The Electric Guitar became "America's instrument."
