From Europe to North America, from Asia to Oceania, Guitar Show 2024 is gearing up to open its doors with brands and manufacturers from 25 different countries and 5 continents. This unmissable event, now in its seventh edition, promises to offer the most exciting experience through the world of guitar and bass, with a variety of brands, products, and artists never seen before.
The Guitar Show, now in its seventh edition, is set to open its doors at the Padova Fair on May 18th and 19th, 2024, confirming yet again a continuous and exceptional growth.
With excitement, we can announce that the number of exhibitors has soared to approximately 300, compared to 190 the previous year, and continues to grow even in these last days. This signifies a significant increase of 57%, a result that underscores the extraordinary positive trend and the growing global resonance of the event.
Accentuating the international character of the Guitar Show is the diversity of represented countries. While last year we welcomed exhibitors from 20 different countries, this year we boast the presence of 25 nations from Europe, North America, but also brands from South America, Asia, and Oceania.

The impressive growth of the Padova Guitar Show is not an isolated phenomenon. Since its debut in 2017, the event has recorded steady growth year after year, but never as extraordinary as in this edition. The winning formula of maintaining the event with distinct areas ranging from “moderately noisy” to “completely silent”, contrary to other international events that do not allow instrument testing, has managed to win over both the public and exhibitors.
With an increasingly wide range of electric and acoustic guitars, effects, amplifiers, and musical accessories, the Guitar Show reaffirms its position as one of the largest events in its genre worldwide. Padova thus becomes the beating heart of the music community, a place where artists, enthusiasts, and professionals can share their passion for music and discover the latest trends in the industry.
The Guitar Show is a unique opportunity for those seeking unique and high-quality instruments but also to find the perfect opportunity among used, unusual, and rare instruments of all kinds. Many brands present, especially those artisanal and niche productions, are practically unavailable in traditional stores. Here, visitors have the opportunity to directly connect with the involved manufacturers and artists, discuss their needs, and discover the hidden details of each instrument. The collaboration with Vintage Authority also allows involving a curated selection of vintage guitar professionals with a collection of instruments that will be displayed unprecedentedly. A unique opportunity to explore and appreciate the history and craftsmanship behind these precious pieces of musical heritage.
