As many of you may know, I have recently been working as Custom Shop Engineer at Hiwatt and it was great to get the opportunity to travel to the Guitar Summit Tradeshow in Mannheim with my Colleagues. Rosengarten theatre is now host to Europe's biggest Guitar, Pedal and Amp show with Exhibitors from around the globe showcasing their products.
Most importantly I had an amazing time demoing products to what is a starved market of Hiwatt, it was great to meet so many great Guitar Luthiers and Boutique pedal companies including Valiant Guitars, Baguley Guitars and Jupiter FX, Was also fun to talk Hiwatt with ex-Chris Cornell guitarist Pete Thorn, Paul David's (YouTube Guitar Guy extraodinaire) plus hangouts with Guitar Nerd podcaster Joe Branton, the Hughes & Kettner Guys, Ashdown and Engl as well as many of the new Amp builders currently making waves.
I also visited one of our dealers in Frankfurt at Cream Music, the oldest serving music shop in Europe.
I was lucky enough to play through a 1965 Vox AC30, which let me tell you...was an absolute ripper!! 🎸⚡🎛️
I'm back in the Fretbuzz Workshed on Saturday 17th September and looking forward to working on all your amazing Guitars. See you soon! Tom
