Thanks for posting this up for me, i tried and it crashed on me, I am the organiser and hoster of this event.
Any questions or anyone interested in attending let me know [img=/images/smiley/msn/teeth_smile.gif][/img]
Just when I thought I'd seen it all.
Can I dress up like Chewbacca and show up?
Err no.
This is for serious people only, who have made there own Red Special, or own a replica, and take a general interest in the guitar, and the sound.
regards matt
I am really looking forward to this event and may be reunited with my old set of 60s Burns Trisonic Pickups and switchgear which i sold on ebay +- 8 years ago ,i still have the guitar hanging on my wall..Dammmmmm.....[img=/images/smiley/msn/cry_smile.gif][/img]

My apologies.
I thought this was for just ANYBODY who has any incarnation of a Red Special, not actual Luthiers.
(but I still bet the female demographic will be low... I'd hire some strippers)
4 -5 female guitarists are attending as well as singers. This it not just for Luthiers, it is for anyone whos owns a red special and takes an interest in it, and also for those who have built one.
id rather watch paint dry lol
well have fun with your paint.... sadly no one seems to take much seriously around here. the 30 people who attened last year seemed to enjoy it last year
Female guitarists? I thought you said serious people only. Make up your mind!
does it matter... doesnt matter what gender people are if they have the same interest so be it.
Man.... I want a Red Special!!!!!!!
Too fucking bad I live in Florida! Damn! As a guitarist myself, it would be pretty cool to have a US Red Special meet. But im only 14 and the only shitty music the dumbass tourists around here listen to is rap shit etc.
I think the USA side people have been trying to organise a meet since last year... but its never happened. I think the main problem is the US so many cities... they have trouble deciding where to have it, cause of the distances people have to travel.
Hopefully one day they will figure it out, Thanks for your interest,
I think that its more the fact that over here, real music fans are few and far between. There are tons of people over here that "like" a band. Ill ask them to name one un-generic or non-Greatest Hits song by them. Can they do that? Nope! In my history class, my teacher showed a picture of Led Zeppelin in Tampa in 1973 and someone thought it was Metallica! Too bad we had to move down here from Connecticut in 1988. There are some true music fans in the northeast! And for a town so tourist-oriented as Panama City, you'd think there would be a record shop or something. Nope! I have to go to a antique store downtown every few months and stock up on rare Beatles/Stones albums. Finding a Queen album here is like finding a grain of sand in a mountain of dirt. Sorry for rambling on. I have many pent up angst's for my current dumbass generation.
