The Great River Guitar Show is a two day event. September 7-8 of 2019 at the Minnesota State College Southeast in Red Wing Minnesota. Regional luthiers as well as renowned luthiers from across the country will be presenting their hand made acoustic guitars, archtop guitars, electric guitars, basses, mandolins, banjos, basses and ukuleles and hand made amplifiers.
