I go every year just to drool over incredible guitars that I can't afford. There were certainly no shortage of them this year. One thing that was a bit of a change was that there were noticeably less of the super high end vintage guitars like Fenders and Gibsons from the 50's and 60's selling for $20,000 and up, although there were some. I recently bought an Epiphone ES-295 Scotty Moore model, and was suprised to see four of the Gibson models it is based on - the original ES-295 from around 1953. They are pretty rare.

 

There seemed to be less booths this year, and not as many people as in previous years, at least when I was there - Saturday around noon. I wonder how much the slow economy is to blame? But it's always enjoyable to go feast your eyes on a roomful of awesome guitars and feel like a kid in a candy store.
