The National Vintage Guitar & Amp Expo

Sat/Sun 24/25 March 2012, Statesman Hotel Canberra

Saturday: 10am - 8pm, Sunday: 10am - 6pm

Welcome to the website for the National Vintage Guitar & Amp Expo. This is our fourth year for an event which is now looked forward to by guitar aficionados across Australia. Have a look at some past highlights in the photos on the right

Also we have a short video of a past show available here.

The Expo is a great guitar community weekend event where guitar fans can catch up with some great vintage, rare and hand-made guitars plus classic valve amps, together with a room full of great guitar people. A weekend pass is still only $10 and there’s concessions for family groups. Spend a few hours or the whole weekend!

Whether you like classical, acoustic, resonator, semi-acoustic, electric guitars, basses, amps or ukuleles we will have several hundred instruments there to look at: a real guitar and amp smorgasbord provided by a big bunch of vintage guitar and amp exhibitors from across Australia.

Then we’ll also have a series of live performance sessions by great local and interstate players, this year including Don Morrison, Steve Russell, Jenny Spear, Chris Johnson and more.

Finally our “vintage roadshow” sessions will again provide free appraisals for items brought in by members of the public. And on the Saturday evening we’ll round up our Fender expert panel to talk about, play and celebrate 60 years of Fender guitars and amps.

If you like Fender, Gibson, Martin, Gretsch, Guild, National, Rickenbacker, Marshall and more…let your guitar friends know and we look forward to seeing you there. For any queries about the Expo, please email info@zot.com.au or call 0413 644 243.
