dem00n Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I went to it last year. Meh... Problem is i don't really fit it, how does a teenager with a MM and a vintage hollowbody going to fit in with old guys with three Les Pauls playing generic blues songs and solos over and over again? Not my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slavestate Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 The Pigtronix guys were there and it was really cool to talk with some of those guys who put the pieces together and know the ins and outs of the designs. Along with those guys a few local techs who put together some pretty cool amps, most of which were eager to talk about their deal. I feel you on the 1-4-5, but that's just what they are into. The prices were insanely high though, that I wasn't expecting. You would think at a show and/or swap meet (which is what it really seemed like) that there would be more reasonably priced used gear, not dealer prices.

The Pigtronix guys are great and lots of cool gear was there and will be there again this time as the show has more than tripled in size. I did not hear a lot of the 1-4-5 stuff, but not everybody is JB afterall...and as for prices..well man you have to negotiate....and remember some dealers livilihoods is selling guitars for profit not a loss... but they are ALL willing to negotiate for sure. They had a very good show and sold a ton of stuff..Same goes for buyers as sellers..if you are asking to sell or buy at insanely high or low prices they are not going to work with you. There were many deals struck and most anybody who brought a guitar in for sale...SOLD IT!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not my thing. because people with the same common interest...vintage gear, always have something to share no matter the age..maybe you need to try harder?? hahaha...as for song choices I heard some outstanding guitar players some did How High The Moon on a vintage 50's LP note for note..excellent!

slavestate Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 I'm well aware of dealers having to make a profit, however paying the price of what it might have sold for 15 years ago is a bit much for me. Most of us are guys who enjoy ripping around in one way or another and I agree that we all go because we dig vintage gear as well as modern equipment.

T Bone Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 When spam is deemed both topical and desireable, it ceases to be spam, and becomes simply an ad or notification (as seen I think above). Seems pretty obvious Gibson is okay with it being here on their board (and since they are participating in the event, no surprise there). I went to it last year. Meh... Problem is i don't really fit it, how does a teenager with a MM and a vintage hollowbody going to fit in with old guys with three Les Pauls playing generic blues songs and solos over and over again? Not my thing. Guitar shows aren't about the playing. They are about interest in, appreciation of, and ultimately the buying and selling of guitars and all associated items. I've gone to many with no intention of purchasing, just to bask in the guitars and amps etc., as well as be among some of the prominent dealers (had George Gruhn sign a reference book he'd published at one) and local players. I did also buy a lot of my former collection at shows. My first tweed amp (a 63 Fender Champ) was purchased at my first guitar show, Dallas TX. I also bought a 62 Stratocaster at one, a 57 Les Paul Jr. at another (great deal on that one) and found my current 1935 National Duolian at another. If I were in the area, I'd be there, even though I'm not in the market for anything right now. You never know what you may see that will leave you awe struck (or not).

ZenKen Posted February 27, 2013 Share Posted February 27, 2013 However you can have a picture taken for $50.00. Will you be wearing the Hendrix hat? I'd pay $50 for that! I'd pay $100 if you'd hold a Les Paul with Mini-Tune. B) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
