Sarasota Guitar Show - June 2025
This is a collection of photos from the Sarasota Guitar Show in June 2025.
It was a great event with many fine guitars and amps on display. I’ve posted some of the guitars below, though there were many more I didn’t photograph. I’ve included links to more information for some of the more interesting models. There’s a short video at the bottom of the post that gives a little flavor of the show.
I really liked the Emerald, I might buy one.

Fender Acoustasonic Telecaster
These are really neat. Here’s a link to learn more on Fender’s site. It features three different types of built-in pickups, a mixing knob, and can be played acoustically or plugged in for a huge range of tones.
Here’s a video of the Acoustasonic Telecaster in action:
2018 Emerald Model X-7 Quilted Maple
These are very cool guitars. They’re made in Ireland and have a unique sound and design. The body and neck are carbon fiber, with stainless steel frets. The X7 model is parlor-sized, and its sound projects toward the player—making it perfect for jamming alone or in a small room. On their website, you can custom design the wood inlay fused to the carbon fiber top. I might buy one of these—they’re really nice.
