Default The Woodstock Invitational 2018 - TGEG

So The Woodstock Invitational 2018 is coming up just around the corner, next week in fact! And I am SUPER stoked to be attending it for the first time, all the way from Singapore! I think this is an incredible opportunity to meet many of you AGFers in person and I cannot wait. If you see me, please introduce yourself; I shouldn't be too difficult to spot as I will be sporting my "THE GOLDEN ERA GUITAR" t-shirt so come and say hi!





I am going to be posting updates of the festival here in this thread so if there is anything in particular you folks want to see at the festival, let me know in advance so I can see to it that your demands are met see you there!!

I feel your excitement, brother, and look forward to reading your reports!

In May I attended my first ever luthier show in Berlin and had the time of my life. I recommend that you try to get a lot of sleep between now and Woodstock, because once you're there, you'll probably wind up pulling a couple of all-nighters! Wish I could be there as well (sniff!).

Thanks for sharing my excitement! I'll definitely try my best to keep this thread brimming with updates whenever I can. I am not sure of the internet situation there haha

I think you're right @Deft Tungsman, I better get used to the NY time zone right now to save myself the adjustment period while I'm there

Hoping to meet the both of you too! I'll be there throughout the entire show so chances are we will get to see each other. If in doubt, head on over to Joel Michaud's booth

Looking forward to having you here, Marcus! I hope I've already prepared you for the chilly weather, but didn't let you know that it just might snow!!! John Osthoff Guitars and the McKnights will have AGF badges for AGF members here, so that AGF members can find each other in the crowd! Safe travels. See you soooooooooon!!!

Default Day 0

So it's been a long but incredible day. It started with an 18 hour direct flight from Singapore to Newark Airport. I waited for Isaac Jang at the airport where we then grabbed some brunch, dropped by Rudy (played a Somogyi there) and then finally made our way to Woodstock, where we met with Leonardo Buendia at our Airbnb.



We were shortly joined by my buddy Joel Michaud and his partner, Lizz. It is incredible living under the same roof as the luthiers whom I am in awe of and have the honour of representing.



Of course, everyone got to play each other's guitars and it was such an amazing moment. So here is a sneak peek of some guitars you will officially see tomorrow at Day 1 of the event. ENJOY!
