The Guitar Show Set to be Biggest Ever

With more than 20 new exhibitors and a new Technology Hall, The Guitar Show returns to Bingley Hall in Birmingham on February 24th-25th.

The first day of the show will open at 9:42am precisely (in reference to string gauge size) and, with sponsorship of Ernie Ball’s Super Slinky strings, the first nine visitors through the doors will receive an Ernie Ball t-shirt and set of electric guitar strings (in their choice of gauge – not necessarily 9-42), while the next 42 will grab a set of strings.

New to the show, the European Guitar Builders Association (EGB), an alliance of some of independent luthiers across the continent will be showing some  one-off and bespoke instruments; offering a rare chance to see and try an array of super high-end guitars under one roof.

The Acoustic Hall returns again in 2018, to allow visitors to go unplugged away from the (occasionally) rather noisier main hall. And the show will also host music production gear in the Technology Hall. From mics and preamps to software and speakers, everything visitors need to create polished, release-ready music will be on display from some of the industry’s biggest brands.

The show’s main exhibition area is set to showcase a wealth of great electric guitars, basses, amplification and effects from all over the world (see current exhibitor list below). And with the involvement of retail partners PMT and Fairdeal Music will be available exclusively at the show.

Tickets for The Guitar Show are priced at £12.50 (£6 Under 16s) in advance and £15 (£10 Under 16s) on the door and available from www.theguitarshow.co.uk
