Rassegna Nazionale della Chitarra Elettrica
e Acustica da Collezione
Nata per offrire un'occasione di incontro per un pubblico di collezionisti, questa manifestazione è divenuta in breve tempo una classica nel panorama europeo non solo per i cultori della chitarra “vintage” e di qualità, ma in generale per gli amanti della musica.
La prossima 18a edizione del Soave Guitar Festival coinciderà con il quarantesimo anniversario del Festival di Woodstock.
Alcuni dei suoi protagonisti, purtroppo scomparsi, sono diventati essi stessi i miti di quella stagione irripetibile. E così, per celebrarne la memoria, proprio a loro sarà dedicata la chitarra di questa edizione.
Ecco allora la "Woodcaster", che ritrae Jimi Hendrix sul fronte, sempre sullo sfondo del castello di Soave, mentre sulla parte posteriore saranno ricordati gli altri eroi di quell'evento che non sono più tra noi, come Janis Joplin, Jerry Garcia, e Richie Havens. Le due chitarre gemelle - modello Fender Stratocaster '70 R.I. - sono state decorate da Renzo Pagliani. Uno di questi strumenti sarà destinato al Museo del Festival, mentre il secondo verrà estratto a sorte tra tutti coloro che assisteranno ai concerti serali. L'estrazione, la proclamazione del vincitore e la consegna della chitarra verranno effettuate nella serata del 3 Maggio, in occasione del terzo ed ultimo concerto.
OSPITI DEL 2009:
Monte Montgomery, Stephen Bennett, The Frank Vignola Group, Raf Montrasio, Greg Koch, The Bendy Pastorius Trio, John Bendy, Massimo Varini, Màrçio Rangel, Anita Camarella e Davide Facchini Duo, Giovanni Palombo, Giovanni Ferro, Andrea Palazzo, Andrea Gottardo.
May 1st-2nd-3rd, 2009
National Festival of the Electric and
Acoustic Collectlable Guitar
This event was planned to be a meeting point for the collectors, but in a very short time the festival has become a classic appointment not only for the vintage and high-end guitar fans, but also for all those who consider themselves music lovers.
2009 will be the 18th edition of the festival and also the 40th anniversary of the Woodstock Festival, an event which became a legend the day it was started. Some of its performers, who unfortunately passed away, have become the icons of that incredible era.
This is the reason why we have dedicated this edition's guitar to their memory. We have called it the "Woodcaster", a beautiful instrument based on a real Fender Stratocaster '69 R.I.
This instrument has been decorated by Renzo Pagliani, who made two samples. One of these jewels will be put in our Museum, whilst the second be drawn free of charge among those people who will attend the evening concerts of the festival.
This raffle will take place on 3rd May, during the last evening concert.
GUESTS OF 2009:

Greetings Soave Guitar Festival ... Thanks for the Add... Resistance is useless!
After a long journey from our home planet in the distant Omega Centauri Galaxy, The Del Sonics have arrived on Planet Earth to embark on their "World Domination Imminent" tour! Commencing in Brisbane, Australia, the run of dates will continue until total global power is achieved. The latest and most potent weapon in our arsenal is our new album release “Destination...Planet Rock!”. Eight rolled-gold total psych-out cuts, recorded in May 2009, showcase the cream of this intergalactic instro/prog/surf outfit.
Don’t be fooled by the wiggy song names – “(No One Likes A) Smart Arsed Robot”, “Funky Chikisho”, and the epic acid-trip of “Speak Cyborg…Or DIE!” – these are killer rock and roll tracks delivered by a band that’s been a sensation on the live circuit the past year.
The engine-room rhythm section of The Big Kahuna (bass) and Krank Daddy (drums) powers like the Starship Enterprise on steroids. Out the front directing traffic on Fender Mustang (and with NASA-grade guitar pedal technology at his feet) is Twang, the one-man tsunami!
Sounds like… hmmmm...The Ramones and The Ventures hanging out at Frank Zappa's beach house with John Coltrane, Jimi Hendrix and The Monkees. Later, Ritchie Blackmore and The Ronettes will drop in for fondue and bikini Twister!
It's surf music, Jim, but not as we know it........
Grazie per l'add PierPaolo, e complimenti per il festival di quest'anno ch è stato ricco di presenze e importanti spunti musicali. diventerà senz'altro abitudine. a presto
