Los Angeles Guitar Festival

The 2024 Los Angeles Guitar Festival will be held May 17, 18, and 19, in Santa Clarita, California. I'll be there showcasing several of my guitars. So will Jason McGuire. And some great players, including Antonio Rey. Here's a link to the website: https://www.laguitarfestival.org/

Wish I had know about this three weeks ago…

Planed to be in SoCal just a week before this…

My family is on the south side of LA and San Diego so not exactly an optimal drive unless it’s 3:00am.

Have you done this show before? I’ve been to various trade shows around the world for the hospitality industry, they like to have fun and party but mostly it’s a lot of standing around…

I haven't done this show before. I did one similar event once and for the vendors it was a lot of standing and sitting around because that's what we do at our tables with guitars on them while people come around and see them. It can be tiresome, which is why I don't do this sort of thing often. This was me in Oregon in 2015.

Decided I’ll give it a go as a vendor.

Bringing a couple/few guitars will be a challenge all the way from alaska. Any good suggestions Ethen?

Hey, great. It will be nice to meet you there.

I had the same concern about getting guitars there. Tavi Jinariu suggested that I send guitars to him and he would be happy to bring them to the Festival. So I am planning to risk bringing one on the airplane and to send one by UPS to Tavi. He also said he would drop it off at UPS for the return to me after the Festival (so I'll come prepared with a shipping label and packing tape). He would probably be happy to do the same for you.

Yeah, I know it's expensive, but then everything is. I feel like this is important and I don't plan to do it often.

Ya, looking forward to mixing it up with builders and players, although I’m a little apprehensive. It will be good to get some constructive critasism.

Thanx for the note about shipping, that will save me much trouble. I’ve reached out to Tavi

So, kinda funny, had been planing this trip to see my dad in so cal and was planning to do a layover in Seattle to stop in and see you, hadn’t figured it all out yet, anyway this will be great!

You’re going to go?
Good for you. You can meet Jason, he’s a lot of fun, and a spellbinding guitarist to sit with and listen to.

Ya, and going to be a first for me.

Caught me by surprise so I’m not prepared but I’m not worried about it.

Looking forward to hanging out and soaking up some playing that’s for sure.

I’m out in remote west alaska for a couple weeks away from my shop etc… it was the best of times, ot was the worst of times ;)
