More than 110 of the world’s premier guitar makers will meet at the Estrel Hotel and Convention Center, Berlin, for the first edition of The Holy Grail Guitar Show. This event will showcase the best of the current boutique guitar building scene. A first in Europe, this show is conceived and organized by a group of luthiers who felt the need for a show presenting and
promoting the handmade guitar.
A stunning selection of electric guitars, acoustic guitars, archtops, classical guitars and basses, from the most avant-garde to the traditional, will be exhibited here in one location by the luthiers who created them. Each exhibiting luthier will be present at the show.
The hand made guitar has emerged as a strong alternative to the factory made instruments widely available. The ability to tailor the instrument to a client’s wishes, with woods, features and tonal character individually chosen, and the great quality of work done today, make the custom boutique guitar a choice for any serious player.
The range presented at The Holy Grail Guitar Show ranges from expensive and exclusive instruments by today’s foremost builders, to rugged working musician’s tools, designed for daily use on the stage or on the road.
With a strong international presence, this show might become one of the major yearly events for guitar lovers from all over
the globe - a rare opportunity to see so many great and exciting instruments assembled in one place. The guitars will be available for try-out, and for sale also. Sound booths equipped with amplifiers will be available for testing the
instruments.
In addition to the exhibit a series of demo concerts will be offered during the show, featuring the instruments exhibited at the show, plus a program of lectures and seminars by well-known luthiers, covering topics of interest to guitar
lovers.
The show will be open Saturday from 11:00 - 18:00, Sunday from 10:00 – 17:00at the Estrel, Sonnenallee 225, 12057 Berlin, Germany. |
