GOTGuitars – The Gothenburg Guitar Show 2023

It’s time again!

GOTGUITARS – a fair for those who love guitars and music.

Welcome to buy, sell, be inspired, or dream.

Date: 25–26 March 2023

Time: Saturday 10 am–6 pm, Sunday 10 am–3 pm

Location: Auktionsverket Kulturarena, Gothenburg, Sweden

In 2022, the Gothenburg Vintage Guitar Show was a success! In 2023 we aim higher and therefore changed our name to GOTGUITARS to include even more guitars and music.

Established traders and private individuals are equally welcome. Everyone is allowed to sell and buy guitars and guitar gear. As a private, you must purchase a VIP ticket to bring an instrument to trade.

Welcome to buy, sell, be inspired, or dream.

The Auktionsverket Kulturarena can be found at the beginning of Tredje Långgatan, seen from Järntorget.

Långgatorna and Långgårdarna are old harbor quarters now Gothenburg’s most vibrant neighborhoods. Food, drinks, and coffee will be available next to the venue.

Team V&R visited the show in 2022. Here are a few video interviews we did with exhibiting dealers:

Gothenburg Vintage Guitar Show, April 2022

It was big excitement and anticipation that we in April 8 & 9th, 2022 went to Sweden for the first edition of the new guitar show in Scandinavia: Gothenburg Vintage Guitar Show.

The show is located in an old auction house house from the 18th century. Very beautiful facility and located in the center of town.
