Music Gear Expo

Musicgearexpo_2014-1

The Music Gear Expo runs the gamut from well-known guitar makers to indie amp builders, keyboards, mics and headphones to tablet-based apps. New for this year: The Shred Shed (where you can crank up guitars to 11) and the Stompbox, home to dozens of guitar pedals. The Gear Expo Store offers strings, cables, instrument repair and more. Come relax in the Gear Expo Lounge and enjoy daily happy hours. The Expo has become a popular destination for musicians, buyers, gear and tech afficionados.
The Expo is open to the public with free Guest Pass wristbands, available in advance or on-site at the event. Guestpass.sxsw.com for more information.
