Funny you mention now this exhibition is taking place at the Met with the teardrop guitars produced by John D'Angelico, Jimmy D'Aquisto, and John Monteleone as the center pieces. Their are quite a few of the blue guitars on display too. I wonder where (parts of) Scott's collection ended up after his passing.

Cool guitars Will. Scotty was a gem. I would love to have a collection of Blue guitars like that and I think the harp guitars would be interesting to hear.-- Darwin

My friend Tom Barth made one of his "Tommyhawk" guitars in blue for that collection. What a collection. Where they are now, I don't know. Not here... No lefties!
