Hey Bong -

Have you been to the Experience Music Project here in Seattle? One of the major (permanent?) exhibits is a history of the guitar, which has many very beautiful examples of guitars through the ages. Appropriately, a quite large chunk of the exhibit is Hawaiian steel guitars. I bet you'd love it. I've always thought the EMP admission price was a bit steep at $20, but I'd say that for you, it would be a definite not-to-be-missed exhibit. puamana's husband Rob (he posts here & DJs as Selector Lopaka) used to work at EMP, he may be able to tell you more about it.
