    Bit disappointed not to see Fender on the list of exhibitors.  The last few years I've whiled away an hour here and there trying out some of their models and I've even bought two guitars on the back of those demo's (though not at the show itself, but afterwards). 
    Never noticed, shame. Presumably that means no Gretsch too :unamused: 
    Still, you can go into any major guitar shop and try new Fenders whereas there wil be stuff at the show that won’t be true of :star: 
    Tipton is a small fishing village in the borough of Sandwell.

    I like to think of it like this, a likely 4000 of their potential customers get to play the competition :)

    Its good for all the builders at the show too, you honestly won't notice they aren't there

    No Fender - but power to you @Jason that you've sold out all the space and probably need more space for the demand

    @guitars4you To be honest I’m stuffed with a pretty healthy waiting list. For some reason the show has attracted a significant amount of interest from  European builders. I am definitely not complaining about this, it’s been amazing, every day I’m getting requests for space now.

    You'll be needing a second show @Jason - just for the smaller builders
    ;)

    Hello all, whilst this may not suit all, I will have a live rig rundown with Dan Hawkins of The Darkness (in association with Marshall) on the Saturday of the show. I've had Dan at Music Live (when he was in the Stone Gods) he is a really nice bloke. Simon Bradley will be interviewing on stage. I should, fingers crossed have another name for Sunday.

    hope it is not @HarrySeven - it will just take far to long to go through his rig

    @TTony ; - has there been any murmurings of a TFB social - starting at the stand and heading out into the hostelries - perchance? I missed it last year but am thinking about having a quiet word with Mrs McToot and the Toot Juniors to see if I might be allowed off the lead for a weekend...?

    Not yet @McToot.

    Perhaps it needs someone with natural leadership qualities, to whom the forum membership looks for exciting ideas and suggestions, an outgoing, sociable type ...

    But failing that, why don't you start a thread and see if you can drum up some interest/support.

    :D

    (The show is well worth a trip to the West Midlands - they're excellent days!)

    As Meatloaf might have drawled, if he were having a bad day,  "one out of three aint bad". 

    First I need to have a chat with the girls.  

    Just popping to the florist now. I'll revert soon.

    I would definitely be up for that. I miss @McToot @littlegreenman @FelineGuitars @Handsome_Chris. It was a great night.

    In fact @TTony even brought a lady!

    I know no ladies.

    Mrs McToot has OK'd but I'm still a doubtful. It's the closest weekend to my birthday and I'll be doing the kids out of a celebration (they celebrate me getting older much more than I do).  If the situation changes I'll let you know.

    Bring the kids too ... they'd probably enjoy a night out in Brum more than you could 
    :D 


    (and do you ever wonder why they celebrate you getting older?)

    It's my 50th on the Friday and we're having a family celebration on Saturday. I've already told the family that for my birthday "I want to go to the Guitar show". And since it's my birthday, not theirs, I'm going. See you all on the Sunday.
