Orlando International Guitar and Music Expo 2025

I planned this trip for 3 months. Never been to a guitar show. I was shopping for a 4-string lefty bass. I'da thought I'd see maybe 5-7 of them. I saw ONE low end 5-string. I spent way too much money for this trip. It won't happen again. This was a huge disappointment for me. I know lefty bassists are in the few but c'mon! Most music stores would have a tenth of what was at your show, and I'd likely find at least one lefty bass. Would it hurt to plan for ALL customers. If every 4th vendor had a lefty bass I would likely have gone home broke!

Didn't see anything too special. Dealers just wanted to low ball.

Not as many venders as I thought there would be and very slow traffic flow of attendees on Friday Not really worth the drive from Venice FlHopefully bigger next year

Having lived in the Chicago area where we typically had 2 or 3 great Vintage Guitar Shows a year, the Orlando Show is very disappointing.I had a booth at the Orlando Show several years ago and it was OK. This year's show had about 1/3rd of the booths than the last Orlando Show I attended. Hopefully, next year will be better. Not sure why nobody puts on a show in Palm Beach County, Ft. Lauderdale or Miami???

Almost all of the gear was over priced. Can buy it on Reverb or Craigs or Ebay for much less. Plus it cost $12 to look at stuff you might want to buy. Its like paying to go the the mall !
