History: 1992 Dallas Guitar Show, Part 1

As we're on the guitar show theme, I'm posting images from other shows. Oh, those were the days of real vintage guitar shows, not new Gibsons and PRS guitars in vintage dealer's booths...

I'll re-post with a better/larger scan when I track down the original negative...
