NAMM!!!

OK Everyone,

Sorry it has been a while, but its finally here. My adventures at NAMM 2008.

For those of you who don't know what the National Association of Music Merchants show is all about... It is considered the largest music products trade shows in the world. It is held in my hometown of Anaheim and this was the first year that I ever got to go. It is not open to the public. I would like to thank SKB www.skbcases.com for hooking it up with the weekend badge.


Here our journey begins.....


First off... lets stat with the cool guitars.

One the coolest booths there was James Trussart

www.jamestrussart.com

These guitars look like they kick so much ass. I have never wanted a guitar as badly as I want one of these. They are made of metal and are 100% custom made. They are not cheap, but check out some of the artistry on these babies.










Another great guitar booth was Sparrow Guitars

www.sparrowguitars.com

They are a Canadian company that hand-paints their guitars.

Here are some samples. Very nice. Custom paint.


This is my uncle with Sparrow Guitars.





Here are some other unique custom guitars.






Guitars from the Ibanez booth. They really had some great stuff. Here you get to see all the guitars that AREN'T in Guitar Center. Check out these babies.

The George Benson Signature


The Dragonforce Signature models



Some high-end wood finished Ibanez's. I was drooling over these as well.








Now this section will be the UNIQUE and NOVELTY guitars. Stuff you may have never known even existed. Check it out!
