Melbourne show makes successful return

The Australian Music Association’s Melbourne Guitar Show returned on August 8th-9th after a break of ten years.

Featuring the cream of Melbourne’s guitar talent it hosted major brands as well as local makers and luthiers, and a good collection of vintage and collectables for the enthusiast. The show is billed as “the biggest guitar store ever seen in the southern hemisphere”. It attracted more than 5,000 visitors to the Caulfield Racecourse venue.

 Rob Walker, CEO of the Australian Music Association, told MMR Global: “It was so good to see the retailers and suppliers positive and dealing with customers face-to-face. Lots of gear was sold, and everyone was happy! Not often I could say everyone was happy.”
