Then there’s the gear! Over 400 gear manufacturers will have their wares on display for you to check out, up close and personal, hands on. There’s a huge musician’s flea market where you’re sure to find hidden treasures. Then there are the insane gear deals — save up 83% in the GearFest DealZone. And, speaking of gear, we’re giving away more than $80,000 worth of gear in our hourly giveaways; you could be a big winner.
While you’re here, be sure to pay a visit to our newly expanded music store. You’ve never seen a store like this before. And take advantage of free restringing for your guitar or bass. Bring your ax with you and we’ll put on a fresh set of D’Addarios for you.
