Artisan Guitar Show - April 12-14: Whose Going?
I wanted to start a thread here in the AGF Custom Shop to see if others are planning on attending this year’s Artisan Guitar Show in Harrisburg, PA April 12-14, 2019?
https://artisanguitarshow.com/ This is the third year for the show and I attended both the 2016 and 2017 shows and thought that they were very well run by the organizer. Like all new shows, the second year attendance was much larger than year one. I expect this year to be even larger given natural third year grow and positive economic conditions. The exhibition room at the hotel was set up with plenty of space by each of the exhibitors to audition their instruments (with seating) plus there are a number of quiet spaces to go to outside the room as well. Master classes and concerts (see website for details on these) take place in other nearby rooms in to hotel. The event takes place at a Best Western Premier Central Hotel & Conference Center in Harrisburg, PA. The location while unfamiliar to many, is actually centrally located about 1-hour drive from Baltimore, 2-hour drive from Philadelphia or Washington DC and 3-hours drive from New York City and Pittsburgh areas. Everything takes place at the hotel: the exhibit hall, master classes, evening concerts, cocktail party and impromptu jams in the evenings. Being a smaller city (PA State Capital), the room rates are also quite reasonable. I found this particularly convenient to stay at the hotel when you have some personal guitars with you. I know a number of builders who have post in this forum are going (see the list below). This year I am definitely going again. Who else is planning on attending? I will share photos of the luthier’s guitars from the show on this thread as well. Here’s the line up of 55 luthier, guitar companies, amp companies, retailers, tools, woods, accessories and services and other exhibitors for this year: List of 39 Luthier Exhibitors: 1) American Archtop Guitars (Dale Unger) https://www.americanarchtop.com/ 2) Bethany Guitars (Phil Brunwin) https://www.bethanyguitars.com/ 3) Borghino Guitars (Mirko Borghino) http://www.borghinoguitars.com/borghinoguitars.html 4) Circa Guitars (John Slobod) http://www.circaguitars.com/ 5) Circle Strings (Adam Buchwald) http://www.circlestrings.com/ 6) Comins Guitars (Bill Comins) http://www.cominsguitars.com/ 7) Dammann Custom Instruments https://dammanninstruments.com/ 8) Davide Serracini http://www.serracini.it/en/liutaio/ 9) Everett Guitars (Kent Everett) http://www.everettguitars.com/ 10) FE Tellier Guitars (Fred Tellier) https://fetellierguitars.com/ 11) Galloup Guitars (Bryan Galloup) http://www.galloupguitars.com/ 12) Greenfield Guitars (Michael Greenfield) http://www.greenfieldguitars.com/ 13) Ken Parker Archtops (Ken Parker) https://kenparkerarchtops.com/ 14) Kostal Guitars (Jason Kostal) https://www.kostalguitars.com/ 15) Lattanze Guitars (Anthony Lattanze) http://www.lattanzeguitars.com/ 16) Laurent Brondel, Luthier (Laurent Brondel) http://www.laurentbrondel.com 17) Lehmann Strings (Bernie Lehmann) http://www.lehmannstrings.com/ 18) MacCubbin Guitars (David MacCubbin) http://www.maccubbinguitars.com/ 19) Maegen Wells Guitars (Maegen Wells) http://www.maegenwellsguitars.com/mwg 20) Maxmonte Guitars (Massimiliano Monterosso) https://www.maxmonte.com/en/ 21) McKnight Guitars (Tim McKnight) http://www.mcknightguitars.com/ 22) Mirabella Guitars (Cris Mirabella) http://www.mirabellaguitars.com/ 23) Monteleone (John Monteleone) http://www.monteleone.net/ 24) Osthoff Guitars (John Osthoff) https://www.osthoffguitars.com/ 25) Les Guitares Pellerin (Michele Pellerin) http://guitarespellerin.com/ 26) Pfifer Guitars (Woody Pfifer) https://www.phiferguitars.com/ 27) Ribbecke Guitars (Tom Ribbecke) http://www.ribbecke.com/ 28) Robbins Acoustics (Tyler Robbins) https://www.robbinsacoustics.com/ 29) Atelier Rosenkrantz (Rachel Rosenkrantz) https://www.atelierrosenkrantz.com/ 30) Sam Guidry Handmade Guitars (Sam Guidry) http://www.samguidryguitars.com/ 31) Sexauer Guitars (Bruce Sexauer) http://www.sexauerluthier.com/ 32) Skytop Guitars (Eric Weigeshoff) http://www.skytopguitars.com/ 33) Tim Bram Guitars (Tim Bram) https://www.timbramguitars.com/ 34) Trenier Guitars (Bryant Trenier) http://www.trenierguitars.com/#trenier-home 35) Kathy Wingert Guitars (Kathy Wingert) http://www.wingertguitars.com/ 36) Wilborn Guitars (Ben Wilborn) https://www.wilbornguitars.com/ 37) Note for Note (Yen Lai) https://www.notefornote.net/ 38) Zimnicki Guitars (Gary Zimnicki) https://zimnicki.com/ 39) LeGeyt Instruments (Burton LeGeyt) http://www.legeytinstruments.com/ 16 Other Exhibitors: 1) Acoustic Guitar Magazine http://acousticguitar.com/ 2) Acoustic Remedy Cases https://www.acousticremedycases.com/ 3) American Music Furniture https://americanmusicfurniture.com/ 4) BAM Cases https://bamcases.myshopify.com/ 5) Bourgeois Guitars https://bourgeoisguitars.net/ 6) DHR Guitar Experience https://www.dhrguitarexperience.com/ 7) Duke of Pearl http://www.dukeofpearl.com/ 8) Froggy Bottom Guitars http://froggybottomguitars.com/ 9) Hearne Hardwoods http://hearnehardwoods.com/ 10) Henriksen Amplifiers https://www.henriksenamplifiers.com/ 11) Heritage Insurance Services https://musicins.com/ 12) Humphrey Amps http://www.humphreyamps.com/ 13) Jack Daniels https://www.jackdaniels.com/en-us 14) Lie-Nielsen Tool Works https://www.lie-nielsen.com/ 15) Solid Ground Stands https://www.solidgroundstands.com/ 16) Take a Stand http://takeastandinc.com/

Hmm. An easy choice: go see my good friend Courtney. But, on your way, stop by to say hello.
