Wilmington Guitar Show

Here is some coverage of the Wilmington Guitar Show held 11/16/ and 11/17..yes Friday and Saturday instead of the usual Sat and Sun.

They had some other event booked on Sun so the show was on Fri and I hear it had good turn out. I went on Sat and found it to be a nice but small show. I saw some new vendors there and that’s always a good thing. Nice show..its by BEE 3 Vintage as well, and I hope it continues. Turn out was good, and I almost bought an amp there..more on that larer.

So…here is the walk in…




As you walk in, there were a few vendors before the main hall.

This guy had some Django style guitars. I played these, but didn’t really fall in love. I want one of these, but this maker did not feel like the real deal.

They felt like some of the cheaper stuff coming out of Korea. They are about a grand or more. BTW..i LOVE some of the Korean stuff and play mostly Korean guitars these days.




This was an amazingly clean 175 from 1961.

I swear it looked about 1 year old. No checking at all, and the gloss was still there. The person never played it.

I think the price is high at $8,750, but it’s nice. I had one of these from /63 and sold it for $500. Ill never get over that.
