Fun afternoon seeing friends and meeting folks at the So Cal vintage guitar show. Managed to pick up a very nice 1966 JTM 45 from as I was leaving. 😎👍

On January 24, 10AM-5PM, and January 25, 10AM-4PM, the OC Fair and Event Center (Arlington Avenue just off Fairview Street in Costa Mesa), will host the Amigo SoCal World Guitar Show.
This event is one of the largest consumer guitar shows on the West Coast and is the 247th in a forty-two-year series of mind-boggling shows by the Amigos. If you have guitars, amplifiers, effects pedals, drums, audio gear, parts, banjos, mandolins, or other musical items to sell or trade, you may bring all you can carry into the show at no extra charge. We encourage you to bring a small cart with up to eight items to roll your merchandise around the show. Many of the nation's top buyers will be at this show to pay top prices for your vintage, newer, used, or rare gear. You may see stars, collectors, authors, retail stores, foreign and domestic buyers, appraisers, vintage dealers, builders, manufacturers, parts purveyors, and others at this great annual show. These events are regarded by many as the smoothest run guitar shows in the country. They continue to provide great opportunities for buying, selling, and trading old, new, used, and vintage pieces. All Amigo guitar events are co-sponsored by Vintage Guitar Magazine.
Tickets will be on sale at the door for $25 cash. Children eleven years of age and younger are admitted free if accompanied by an adult.

Remember to mark your calendars for the fabulous upcoming 2nd Annual Amigo Guitar Show Mesquite. This event (formerly known as Guitarlington), was held in Arlington for almost 40 years. We have chosen the fabulous Mesquite Convention Center, on the eastern edge of the Dallas Metroplex as the permanent location for our flagship show. The event will convene Saturday October 18, 10-5 and Sunday October 19, 10-4. As you know, the Amigo shows bring America’s best vintage guitar buyers and sellers to this legendary Texas show, known as the finest event of its kind in the country. Find that guitar or amplifier of your dreams at this show. Start cleaning out those closets and bring all those musical items you no longer need or use to this great show. The Amigos always encourage you to bring all the instruments you can carry to sell or trade. You may even utilize a small cart with up to 8 guitars and or amps (items) to show your merchandise around the venue. Be prepared to meet vintage dealers, used and new product vendors, buyers, appraisers, authors, repairpersons, builders, collectors, artists and an occasional celebrity.

Admission is $25 at the door. No charge for children eleven years and younger when accompanied by an adult.

Booth space is still available.
