Arlington 2015

Post by GrantB »

Yes, this is for this year - too soon for me.

Who would have a vague interest in going to Arlington Guitar Show in October 2015? I see it as providing potential for loads of beer, late nights, sight seeing, random acts....oh, and guitars.

I have a more than vague interest.

It's a no frills show chock full of mainly vintage electric guitars so if that's your thing it's a must do.........much the same as visiting the Louvre in Paris in the art world :winky:
A good bunch of like minded gat enthusiasts from all over the world go there every year.

Looks awesome but I don't think my pockets are deep enough :(

Grant, if you haven't already, you have to check out the Dallas International Guitar Festival.
Usually happens around April-May each year.
Caters from the affordable to the "shit that's worth more than my house" vintage stuff.
Plus always a host of smokin players like Johnny A, Eric Johnson, Johnny Hiland, Rick Derringer etc to check out 8)
