Thread: Montreal Guitar Show - Pics

Weather could have been better, rained on and off up until Sunday. Here is a shot of one of the many stages around town.

The show was held at the Palais des congres de Montreal this year and was very well layed out. Perfect venue for this kind of thing. Electric guitar room on one side and across the hall was the acoustic section.

One of my favorites at the show. Pete Swanson from Niagara On The Lake with three of his guitars on display. Pete is a self taught luthier with some very unique designs. All one off creations. You can check his site out at www.dagmarcustomguitars.com

The picture does not do justice to this work. Fabulous guitars from Brian Kingston. That chocolate brown had me reaching for my Visa card until Marnie pulled me away. www.bckingston.com

This builder from France does some fine work. This one in particular. His specialty is concert classical guitars. This jazz model was built for the show.

A little something different from Ken Parker

Sucks i could'nt go. I wonder why everyone is crammed into a single room?. small Boot would be better i think. more private for each builder.

The general area is pretty busy but they have all kinds of places in there that you can go and chat with a builder. Plus, they have many private sound booths set up for you to try out the guitars.
