Unravelling The Mystery Of Guitar With DIESEL

Unravelling The Mystery Of Guitar With DIESEL

Author: HEAVY Magazine March 7, 2026 Duration: 15:53
For the first time ever, the Sydney Guitar Show will take over Sydney Olympic Park on Saturday 7 and Sunday 8 March 2026, delivering two super-sized days of guitar gear, live performances, workshops and immersive experiences celebrating the world’s most popular instrument.
The 2026 program features performances, workshops and conversations with some of the most exciting and innovative guitarists in the country, including Diesel, Plini, Hussy Hicks, Tash Wolf, and international guest Larry Mitchell (US). Highlights include Diesel’s exclusive Decoding The Dream conversation with Fender Custom Shop Master Builder David Brown, Plini showcasing the future of instrumental rock, and deep-dive workshops spanning tone, songwriting, recording and guitar craft.
Beyond the stage, the event is a playground for players and fans alike — from boutique Australian luthiers and global brands like Fender, Gibson and PRS, to pedal launches, a dedicated Studio Room for home recording, a Pedal Party spotlighting Australian effects builders, and a brand-new Kids Room designed to inspire the next generation of guitarists. To put it plainly, there is something for everyone.
HEAVY caught up with Diesel to find out more.
