I’ve been visiting The Guitar Show for the last few years now, and it’s great to see how much it’s growing year on year. This year was a sold-out affair on the Saturday, and easily the busiest I’ve ever seen it, with guitarists from all over the UK descending on a quiet industrial estate south of Birmingham to check out the latest gear.
From electric guitars, both mass-produced and handmade, to vintage instruments costing over £50,000, there was a huge selection of instruments on offer to try and buy, as well as plenty of other gear like pedals, guitar amps, recording gear, and accessories. It’s a great way to get an overview of what’s going to come out in the year, as well as getting hands-on with instruments as a way of trying them before buying.
