Any Forum folks planning on attending this year? I'll be there in the afternoon.

 

I'm planning on going. More importantly, will there be a meet-up for fellow GCers?

 

In addition to my previously posted pics , I will have these at my table as well . 1964 , 1965 , 1965 .

 

I'm planning on going again this year.

 

Plan is to be there and help the tone brothers guys out.
Tentative for now

 

I think I'm going again this year - should be fun.

 

I'll be attending as a walk in and bringing the following. Should be a great show!

Marc Beneteau Baritone
Rickenbacker Electro Spanish 1935 maybe just for show and tell.

 

The Cat in the Hat is Back!
No beach vacations or daughter's wedding to distract me from what's really important - selling off a bunch of guitars. I will be there, at a table, somewhere.

 

I'll be wearing a black "Norm's Rare Guitars" t-shirt. Feel free to say hi. 😎

 

Good thought! I'll be in a black "Halifax Folklore Centre".

 

Adding some pickups from my parts drawer that I'll be bringing tomorrow.

-Sheptone BK pickup set nickel covers and 4 cond wire (black bobbins) 2009
-SD Seymourized Mini-Humbuckers nickel 4 cond wire (SM-3n & SM-3b)
-DiMarzio P-90 Super Distortion (4 cond)
-Dean DMT Leslie West Mountain of Tone Zebra pickup gold pole screws/slugs, short feet, braided wire NOS MINT with box (like a SD JB)

 

Looking forward to tomorrow!

 

Parking….. looking forward to meeting others who are here as well…

 

Always wanted a fretless bass! Got a nice deal on this one

 

Why is it in Elmira?
I’d love to go but 3 hours of driving is a major deterrent.

 

For me, 4 hours of relaxed country driving was part of the appeal.

 

Went to "look" and I came home with this and a Boss TU-3 pedal tuner.

 

Picked up the 'Valve Warper' pedal by AUDIOFAB at the show Sunday. Stopped by their station where they had a full pedalboard products. The 'Valve Warper' caught my ear due to its cross between a Tone Bender and Tube Screamer which can deliver gentle crunch like distortion to full on fuzz. The tone is detailed and articulate and gives a very nice touch responsiveness with a tube amps clean channel. Every note rings out true and clear and would cut trhough any live or studio mix nicely without the excessive EQ adjustment sometimes needed.

Todd Schneider is the owner, designer, builder with an engineering background. Very nice gentleman with a plethora of electronics knowledge.

Some pics from the show.

Tone Brothers | Vintage Musical Instruments

 

There was a guitar show just recently in Toronto that I attended. Toronto Guitar Expo | The Guitar Show Canada Deserves | Homepage it’ll likely happen again next year.

 

Did you also attend Elmira? If so, how do they compare?

 

I was too busy to go and get the hat from the car. Or to take a photo of our "honest pricing" table, damn! We sold seven guitars and a fancy-ass Strymon thingy. Hooray for the Elmira Guitar Show!

 

I was looking for the hat!

 

I thought having the two rooms this year was a great idea. Not so crowded and you could access the vendor tables easier. Overall I thought the show was great. My son picked up a few accessories, my wife almost bought an acoustic guitar and I had a nice Lewis guitar follow me home. I love seeing the quality vintage stuff the Tone Bros bring but I noticed their display this year was significantly smaller than last year.

 

Agreed, spreading it out over two rinks was a great idea by the organizers.
I was talking to Roman and Philippe of the Tone Brothers and asked the same question as to the decreased display size. He said it was becoming too much of an effort and to some degree risk to continue bringing the entire collection from Montreal. However, their website will show all available sold and new inventory updates on a regular basis.

That is one absolutely amazing collection of vintage gear they have managed to acquire.

Last year I counted 40 vintage guitars with a total value of approximately $980,000CAD. Then there were the 30 vintage Fender Tweed amps with a handful of vintage VOX and Marshall amps sprinkled in the mix which I have no idea of what the total value would total too.

If I had to take a guess there may have been close to $1.3 to $1.5 million sitting on the floor.

Don't think I'd want to be carting that around the countryside too many times either.
