If Music City Tenjin has inspired you to let out your inner guitarist, then take advantage of Fukuoka Guitar Festa; nine instrument stores will be showing off over 1,000 guitars and bass guitars for you to try before you buy, including famous brands like Gibson. There will also be guest performances on both days of the festival, including a set by Makoto Saito (singer songwriter and support musician of Southern All Stars, a famous Japanese pop group) on 9/26. If you can’t afford to splash out on a choice piece of equipment, why not enter the lucky draw? The prizes include a guitar, amplifier, tuner, guitar accessories, and more.
