“30 Limited Edition” Guitar Test by Zoe Barnett

Sunday 23 march 12.00 pm

(event included in the entrance card - subject to availability)

30 guitar “Limited Edition”

Also for the 2025 edition of the Roma Expo Guitars we propose an exciting project: the creation of 30 “Limited Edition 2025 guitars” by the the 30 exhibiting guitar makers.

More specifically, the project envisages that each individual guitar maker will make a guitar that is a totally UNIQUE, ONE-OFF INSTRUMENT in terms of its constructional and aesthetic, characteristics and, furthermore, it will bear the “REG 2025 Limited Edition” logo alongside the label.

Moreover, each guitar will have its own certificate of authenticity signed by the actual guitar maker.

The other, really significant feature will be that, precisely because of their uniqueness, these “Limited Edition” guitars, will ALL be ready to be handed over to those who are present for the day of the REG.
It is, without doubt, a unique, and not to be missed opportunity!

International Dealers 2025

Thirteen international Dealers at Roma Expo Guitars!

For the entire duration of the event nine international dealers will take part in the Expo.

From the opening hour until 3 pm of Friday (opening hours to visitors) they will have the opportunity to meet the luthiers and try their instruments in quite dedicated spaces.

In the same morning, the Dealers (together with the Professors and students of the “International Musical Accademy Project“) will be able to appreciate the instruments also through a private Guitar Test without use of amplification.

A unique opportunity for exhibitors aiming to present Italian luthery to the international market.
