Get ready, guitar lovers—Florida’s most exciting guitar event is back!

The 2026 Sarasota Guitar and Amp Show returns June 6th–7th at the legendary Robarts Arena, bringing together players, collectors, builders, and gear fanatics for an entire weekend dedicated to guitars and tone. Quickly becoming recognized as the premiere guitar show in Florida, the Sarasota Guitar and Amp Show is the place where vintage history meets modern innovation.

Whether you’re a working guitarist, a serious collector, a tone chaser, or simply someone who appreciates the craftsmanship of great instruments, this event offers a rare opportunity to see and experience an incredible range of new and vintage guitars, amplifiers, effects, hard to find parts and gear all in one place. Thousands of instruments will be on display from dealers, collectors, boutique builders, and gear companies from across the country. Attendees will find everything from rare vintage guitars and classic American instruments to modern boutique builds, custom shop models, and unique one-off creations in all price ranges.

For vintage enthusiasts, the show floor will feature coveted instruments from the golden eras of guitar manufacturing—pieces that shaped the sound of rock, blues, country, and beyond. Amplifier lovers and tone purists will also have plenty to explore. Expect a huge selection of vintage tube amps, boutique amplifier builders, and modern designs pushing the limits of guitar tone. From low-watt studio amps to stage-ready powerhouses, players will have the opportunity to hear, compare, and experience some of the finest amplifiers available today.
