Melbourne Guitar Show returns as Australia’s biggest guitar show in 2025, with this year’s edition also marking a milestone for the iconic event, moving to a new home alongside an incredible lineup of performers, workshops and more locked and loaded for this March. The Victoria Pavilion at the Melbourne Showgrounds is set to play host to Australia’s ultimate showcase of guitars, amps, pedals and lots of other gear on Saturday March 1 and Sunday March 2; and with a new venue, a brand new layout and a reimagined program offering a horde of new ideas, workshops and live opportunities, 2025’s Melbourne Guitar Show will undeniably be the ultimate mecca for axe-slingers and riff-bringers of all ages.

We caught up with Gretta Ziller to ask her about her Dream Guitar:

What are you currently working on, albums, tours, writing???

I have just finished a year long co-writing project called ‘The Long & Writing Road’, where I co wrote a song a week for a year! So I’m about to start working on a new album with the best of these songs! I can’t wait for that!

What is your dream guitar, and do you already have the guitar, or is this truly a Dream Guitar?

I’d absolutely love an old nylon string guitar like a Martin 00-28 or an N-20 

Why this guitar?

I just love the sound of nylon string guitars and I’m such a sucker for Martins!

What does this guitar pair well with?

Haha! Bourbon & sad old country songs!

What genre does this guitar fit into?

Acoustic, folk, country … anything where you can create an intimate feel!

Are there any of your idols that play this guitar?

Well there’s none more famous than ‘Trigger’, Willie Nelsons N-20

Anything else at Melbourne Guitar Show you’re excited to see? Performers, luthiers, etc.?

I’m just excited to be going and seeing what the show has to offer! It’s my very first time attending as well as performing so I’ll be there checking it all out!!
