On Electric Guitar Day, it's appropriate to highlight Wichita's proud history of the iconic instrument. The first electric guitar debuted at Wichita's Shadowland Dance Hall, where band leader Gage Brewer played it on Halloween in 1932. You can view a 1932-33 Ro-Pat-In "Electro" Guitar Spanish Model used by the Gage Brewer Orchestra, plus other historic guitars at the HISTORIC WICHITA-SEDGWICK COUNTY INC in downtown Wichita. Rock on. #guitar #music #travelandtourism
