I went to this a few years back, its always the same weekend at the big NAMM (National assoc. of Music Merchants) convention in Anaheim.
which is kinda weird you'd think they wouldnt want to compete, but I'm sure most people that go to one, wouldn't appreciate the other.
also Deke Dickerson is doing the Guitar Geek Fest that Sat. night also.
at the Jolly Roger in Anaheim, right by the Convention center.
the info for that is here:

I went a couple years back. It's cool to see all those vintage guitars, but the price tags really are intimidating. It get's a little boring once you've looked at your 20th vintage jag. And you'll still find plenty of shmucks strumming away "Stairway to Heaven" on a $50K Les Paul ![Rolling Eyes Rolling Eyes](/media/smiley/images/icon_rolleyes.gif)

haha yeah totally the prices are really high. and some of the vendors were jerks, specially this one guy that was selling stand up basses, my friend asked him if he could try one out, and he said "you got money?" and he said no and he's like "then no". mann he even asked my friend for his pick back after he took one that had his shops phone number and stuff, saying "picks are for customers only" i still want to go though haha

I went to this 2 years ago. Saw some scruffy guy from behind with grey hair sitting on a tweed fender amp playing a Telecaster. The guy was pretty decent. I dod a double take but it was really Neil Young.
