Guitar Fest LIVE! – A success for DGG!DGG had been busy all summer long getting ready to display our handy work at this year’s Guitar Fest LIVE! in Livermore, CA. After countless long days and nights to get ready, we packed up the truck and headed to the Bankhead Theater.
![]() After a few location changes, we finally got our booth up and running. We were able to proudly display 10 guitars and basses – including our brand new semi-hollow guitar model. The booth was heavily visited all day and the open exhibition hours were closed out by a great jam session with James Bent (guitar) and Eric Carey (drum). Thanks to everyone who came out to check us out! And thanks to the organizers of Guitar Fest LIVE! for their support and giving us this great opportunity – especially This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.
