context_page_description: The Bunker Touch Guitar is a double-necked touch guitar developed by Dave Bunker.
context_section_description: The importance of the early Touch guitar to the standard single-neck guitar's evolution was acknowledged by its display at Seattle's Experience Music Project Museum (now called Museum of Pop Culture) when it opened in 2000. Dave Bunker detailed the development of his invention in a videotaped interview conducted by the museum. His uniquely designed touch guitar continued to mature, and was featured in headline shows at the Golden Nugget in Las Vegas from 1964 through 1974.
  Selected patents incorporated specifically into the Bunker Touch Guitar have also been used in other contemporary guitar designs. The touch technique has been popularized by guitarists Eddie Van Halen, Stanley Jordan, Steve Vai, and Jeff Healey.
