The Vision Behind the Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show
How It Started
The Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show was created from a simple realization: the guitar community needed a place where builders, players, collectors, and industry professionals could come together in a meaningful way.
For years, the guitar world has relied on large corporate conventions or small scattered shows that often miss the true spirit of the instrument. Many boutique builders struggle to be seen. Independent dealers fight to stand out. Players search for gear they can’t find anywhere else.
Las Vegas has always been a city where big ideas happen. It felt like the right place to create something different — an event built for the guitar community, by someone who lives inside that community every day.
The Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show was born to fill that gap.
This show isn’t just about booths and transactions. It’s about connection. It’s about discovery. It’s about creating a space where the guitar industry can come together and move forward.
A Message From The Founders
When we started planning this event, our goal was never to create just another trade show.
The vision was to build something that truly serves the guitar community.
As a store owner and someone who works with musicians, builders, and collectors every day, weI see the challenges our industry faces. Incredible builders struggle to get exposure. Players want access to instruments they normally only see online. Dealers want a place to connect with real buyers.
The Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show is meant to solve those problems.
This show is about bringing the guitar world together in one room — the builders, the players, the collectors, the innovators, and the fans who keep this industry alive.
When you walk through the doors, you’re not just attending an event.
You’re stepping into a community built around the instrument we all care about.

Our Mission
The mission of the Las Vegas Guitar Trade Show is simple:
To create one of the most meaningful guitar gatherings in the world. This event exists to support builders, empower dealers, inspire players, and connect the entire guitar ecosystem.
At LVGTS you will find:
• Boutique builders showcasing their craft
• Dealers discovering new brands
• Collectors hunting rare instruments
• Musicians trying gear they’ve only seen online
• Industry professionals forming new partnerships
More than anything, LVGTS is about strengthening the guitar community.
Because the future of the instrument doesn’t live in a warehouse or a website. It lives in the hands of the people who build it, play it, and believe in it. And for three days in Las Vegas, they will all be in the same room.
