The Bay Area one has been quite disappointing of late. Still, I'm gonna go for a couple of hours...

If it's the same people who put on the show at the O.C. Fairgrounds in Costa Mesa, CA a couple of times a year, I have to agree with Erik. Those shows ARE lame!
The JETGLO finish name should be officially changed to JETGLO ROCKS! :-)

They are, and the shows are a bit lame.

I've been to the one at the O.C. Fairgrounds once. I met a really good amp cabinet maker named Kerry Wright, and saw some cool guitars, but nothing to write home about, and I don't need to go again. the only thing I could kick myself for was not buying a beat up looking Roland JC120 for $200 for, that worked great. I could have had Kerry recover it to look brand new if I'd wanted.

I think Graham will still be in for the fishing, Steve.... the guitar show is the Saturday and Sunday and I guess he'll pop over on one of those days.

Tammy not going to SoCal or not interesting in catching a big 'un?? :mrgreen:
