Two of Australia's most popular luthiers are presenting their own guitar show in Fremantle, Western Australia, November 22nd, 2008 to a limited number of guitar enthusiasts, both electric and acoustic. The "Custom Guitar Show" by Ellis Guitars and Ormsby Guitars will be a mixture of workshops, live performances and a chance to "meet the makers". Perry Ormsby and Andrew Ellis both make custom instruments from a variety of exotic and Australian timbers, enjoy working with local and international clients, and both have waiting lists of up to two years depending on the complexity of the instrument commissioned. If you would like to know more about custom guitars, either electric (Perry Ormsby), or acoustic (Andrew Ellis), then buy your ticket below to this exclusive look at Australian Luthiers up close. Clinics on Timbers, Guitar Making, Pickups, Tone, Styles of Guitar Playing and more.
