Official Luthiers Forum!

With Healdsburg Guitar Festival right around the corner (August 19-21), I just wanted to see how many of you will be showing your guitars? Also, how many will be there just for the fun of it?
It's a great place to talk to old friends and meet new ones. I always come away with new ideas I would like to try.
If any of you make it, lets get together for dinner and a beer at the Bear Republic Brewing Co. It shows on their web site that they can setup for 100, so bring a O.L.F. friend.
   
   
   

I'll be there with some guitars and ukes...

I'm in...will have 3 guitars and will display the 13th Fret collaborative luthier built OM at my table.

Oldman,
There is now a complete exhibitor's list at the festival website: www.festvialofguitars.com
You are now able to order tickets to the exhibit, player workshops (many more this time!), luthiers seminars and evening concerts online.
We are really excited about this festival and think it will be the best ever!

Bruce, don't you have some sawdust to make?

Arlington, VA

I'll be there with a few guitars. (though contrary to the listing, they won't be archtops) Beer is always good and the Bear has some of the better around.

Last I talked to Roy McAlister he said he would have something there from one of the back and side sets that I sold him. I will be curious to see which set he uses.

Don, cut and paste, took a few seconds, you don't think I typed all that in did you?   

Besides I was gluing bindings, I'd already made the sawdust...   

Wow, it's gonna be a crowded place huh.

Invitation only? Just register?
I'd like to get in there, looks like I am too late.
Do you have to be a builder?

You could probably man an exhibitor's booth and get a corner of his table. I put in for it a couple years ago for this year and got the call.

I didn't feel ready to exhibit on a national level, really international in some respects. Just contact LMI and ask to be put on the list for 2007. One of your buddies here might work a deal with you for this year.
