Has anybody heard about the Nashville Guitar Show taking place at the Factory in Franklin this weekend? I just heard about it this morning.I was wondering if any OLF members will be there? I`m thinking about checking it out and dragging a geetar with me.It would be fun to meet some OLFer`s if any are attending.

James, I guess no one has ever heard of it.

Let us know what you find.

It seems to me that once ASIA met in Nashville, quite a few years back. May have had nothing to do with this show? I remember Frank Ford posting some pics about his trip there.

Don't forget your camera.

Oh by the way, there is a watercolor artist there in the Factory at Franklin. His name is Dean Shelon. If you see him, please say hello. We studied under the same artist: Stephen Naegle

Here is a page of thumbnails of his work. Pickers, fiddlers, and all kinds of stuff.

Oh, have a good time too!

http://www.texasguitarshows.com/ The Nashville Guitar Show is sponsored by Vintage Guitar Magazine and Texas Guitar Shows by the Four Amigos. You'd thing we'd have heard about this show, but your post was the first mention of it. Hmmm.

Well ,I went to the show.It was all about vintage instruments.Mostly electric.There was only 1 booth with a builder named Hollenbach,who built some nice archtops.So nothing really to take pictures of.We`ve all seen tons of Les Pauls etc.Bruce I looked around in the mall and couldn`t find your buddy.I did run into and spoke a minute to George Gruhn,who was after the usual suspects. Old Martins.There were a few of them in the 20-30 thousand range.A bit to rich for my blood.The highlight of the day was going to Artisan Guitar Store,also in the mall.They had a few of Tim McKnights guitars in the store.They were absolutely spectacular.So for anyone coming to Nashville in the future ,be sure to check Tim`s guitars out,very special.

Is the "artisan guitar store" a new store? I havent been to the nashville mall for a few years, last time I was there the gibson store was a zoo and the instruments had handled by too many people.

Judge the Artisan is at a mall called The Factory in Franklin Tennessee.It`s just a few miles south of Nashville proper,on franklin Road.I`m not sure how long the store has been there.I know at least a few years.

I have a couple of posts on the forum about visiting Artisan guitars, and specifically playing one of Tim's Guitars. Paul Woolson had a gorgeous Red archtop up there a few weeks ago. Artisan has been around for at least 2 years, I'm sure. I hate I missed the show, but we're going up to Nashville this weekend. I usually try to stop by Artisan every time we go that way. The proprietors are extremely nice.
