The Museum collection has 200 instruments with 70 on display in the exhibition, including the "Boostercaster".
". . . Tony Cochran designs guitars using found objects - and many of the resulting guitars fall into the Steampunk realm. He is also a cartoonist who has a nationally syndicated strip called Agnes."
". . . more interestingly, Tony takes guitars that would be worth very little on the vintage market and creates bizarre histories . . . "

Steampunk Guitar Building with Tony Cochran
By Garrett Frierson on May 15, 2012
"Every guitar has stories to tell. Some were played by masters, many were destroyed, and all contain a secret history that only exposes its edges when pressed through the fire of an amp. Tony Cochran knows this, and builds guitars that look as legendary as they sound, which is one of the reasons his Boostercaster is currently featured in the National Guitar Museum’s traveling exhibition, Guitar: The Instrument that Rocked the World."
