KCUV, KUNC and KGNU welcome the Colorado Custom Guitar Festival 2005
The Colorado Custom Guitar Festival is a combined effort of the Colorado Luthiers group and Swallow Hill Music Association. Its intent is to present hand-crafted, collector quality, custom stringed instruments in a comfortable music friendly environment.
Although it is titled as a guitar festival, it is in fact a celebration of all stringed instruments in general. Festival visitors can evaluate and purchase a variety of guitars, as well as autoharps, mandolins, ukuleles, and many other instruments. These instruments are objects of art to be enjoyed for their visual, as well as musical, qualities. They are quite different from the standard production run instruments commonly available. Many of the luthiers build multiple types of stringed instruments. If you don't see what you want to buy on the show floor, most likely one of the builders can make it for you. After all, that is what custom-built instruments are all about: creating that one special delight just for you.
