Default Luthiers tour

You'd have to cover an awful lot of geography!

Yes - much easier to just attend 3 or 4 of the major shows during the year where they are all together!

That is a good idea but which shows like this are open to the public?
I think it could be done if you visit some studios and some venue tours and hopefully catch some artist on tour as well.
I still think it might be a really fun!

Its a great idea but I think it would be reserved for retired guitar geek bucket listers.

I live on the road about 40 weeks a year so I have had a lot of opportunity to tour but even then I have only seen:

Martin (PA)
Taylor (San Diego)
Santa Cruz (Santa Cruz)
Collings (Austin)

As you can see geographically these tours could literally not be further apart in the U.S.

I feel lucky I have had the opportunity to do this but it would be a very expensive bus trip for sure.
