'We have decided to try a different approach at this year's London event at Kempton Park where the first ten minutes in each half hour will be "noise time" (within reason) and the next twenty minutes will be quiet.
During quiet time, electric guitars and pedals can still be demonstrated through an amplifier but at acoustic guitar volume only. We would suggest providing a headphone facility for demos if you want customers to experience overdrive or volume during quiet times
During "noise time" we would still ask for restraint and for exhibitors to demo at necessary and reasonable volume only. '
I've been doing quite a few shows for the past couple of years, and the only significant noise problem was at the Wigan (North West?) guitar show earlier this year when a guy selling amps demo'd the things with a backing track for almost the duration of the show (to lure-in buyers?) Potential customers trying stuff out tend to be at least a little self-conscious and don't go on for ages.

I'm going to try and check this one out
Rift Amplification
Brackley, Northamptonshire
www.riftamps.co.uk
Chameleon humbuckers & Frigid Haze loaded partscaster
Texan Hailstorm loaded Strat (with a dummy coil experiment I've been messing around with lately)
Murky Horizon staple P90 loaded LP
And just a few pickups.
And probably whatever bits and bobs I can rustle together to round out the table.
Going to be fun to finally be on the other side of the tables.
No matter what your thoughts on vintage guitars or us are, we would more than welcome any forum members who can pop in, say hello and have a look, touch, feel, smell or play some of the rare items we will be bringing to the show. Even if it's just to chat about guitars, you would be most welcome.
See you on Sunday!
