Michael's 1993 Hiboy Roadster and Yamaha Flame bass are part of the "Axes & Axles" exhibit at the NHRA Motorsports Museum, along with rides from fellow musicians Jeff Beck, Billy Gibbons, Eric Clapton, Jimmy Vaughan and Kenny Wayne Shepherd. The exhibit coincides with the 60th anniversary of the Fender Telecaster and will be open to the public until June 30, 2011.
“Axes & Axles: The Art of Building Cars and Guitars” is designed to show visitors the synergy between guitars (axes) and cars (axles), to see how a guitar is built, and understand how many of the same techniques, and even materials, are used in the construction of both cars and guitars.
