The Metrolina Fairgrounds is the new location for the Charlotte Guitar Show.
My criteria for navigation is 2 hours after the gate opens.
Plenty of room to navigate the vendor booths.
Lots of vintage gear: guitars, amps, basses, and parts.
Shot the breeze with the dealers I know from previous purchases. Always good to see them at the shows.
The reps from
Antique Electronics AZ were there, and picked up tubes and electronic components, at a show sale price.
Tony was the rep that filled my order.
I informed him that the tube parameters posted on their website, was a great addition, and sure saved looking up the info elsewhere.
He is a bass player, and that lent to a discussion of equipment.
Told him to check out G&L, natch!
Say Darth, Tony is a lefty. What percentage of production are lefties?
If you are not familiar with Antique Electronics, they stock a lot of amp and guitar parts.
Tubes, speakers, pickups, and other parts for amps and guitars.
Fast service.
Only one G&L dealer from Reidsville NC. Said the G&L lineup was a big seller for him.
My local G&L dealer, Concord NC, had a previous commitment, and wasn't at the show.
A great time.
