A Legacy of Strings and Stories
The Indiana Guitar Show stands as a testament to the enduring love for guitars, being the oldest continuous show of its kind worldwide.
Since its inception, it has brought together musicians, collectors, and enthusiasts, offering a platform to share their passion and knowledge.
Even through challenging times like the COVID-19 pandemic, the show has continued to thrive, thanks to the dedication of its founder, Eddie Prather, and the vibrant community it serves.
The Indiana Guitar Show is when the National Guitar Show comes to Indy. Eddie Prather, owner of Minor Prophet Studio, is the event sponsor, coordinator and promoter.
The Indiana Guitar Show is the largest gathering of musicians in the state of Indiana. They meet twice a year at the Hendricks County Fairgrounds – with shows in April and September.
National (and sometimes International) dealers will be on hand with cash to evaluate your musical instruments. So, bring your favorite instrument to find out what it’s worth. You can Buy, Trade, or Sell!
Bring your guitars and gear to sell and trade.
