About the show
The Artisan Guitar Show is a conference representing the finest hand-crafted guitars in the world for the luthiers, artists, and musicians that love them. The show is an opportunity for musicians, students, enthusiasts, and luthiers as a showcase for the finest handcrafted guitars in the world and their makers. The Artisan Guitar Show will have an international representation of industry professionals and will attract enthusiasts from a broad geographic area.
Luthiers
This show will feature world-class handcrafted guitars and the eminently skilled guitar-makers who craft them. The names of modern-day artisans like John Monteleone, Ken Parker, Linda Manzer, Tom Ribbecke, and Ervin Somogyi are expected to one day grace the pages of history along with Renaissance master violinmakers Amati, Stradivari and Guarneri.
In addition to the showcase of the finest handcrafted guitars, the Artisan Guitar Show Historical display will feature rare vintage acoustic and electric guitars that are both culturally and historically significant. These instruments are derived from both the provenance of past owner/players and the literal historical context of the individual instruments.
Concerts
The Artisan Guitar Show Concert Series will feature 16 great concert performances throughout the weekend with highly talented and respected musicians showcasing only the finest instruments being created. These performances will be diverse and will range from presentations by finger-style masters to players who make jazz arch top guitars sing.
Just as diverse are the educational workshops being presented as part of the Artisan Guitar Show Master Class Series. These master classes will provide historical background on the art of guitar making from industry legends. Workshops will explore the technical craft of guitar making with topics ranging from the art of the inlay to the importance of innovation in design. Presentations on live performance, concert production in the festival environment, and recording studio techniques have been specifically developed.
