Don't know if anyone cares all that much, just thought I'd share:
So I was lucky enough to meet Chris at the Rochester House of Guitars, what a cool guy! After a long winded old timer let Cannella take the floor he was shredding and taking on some of his 7 string jams that he has been working on with a guy from Behemoth/Vader apparently (chime in if you know the name I already forgot). I have heard the meat and potatoes of his speech's a million times on youtube albeit a NAMM show video or a product review so I thought it may be a little boring but he was passionate about it and comical so my interest was held the entire time. I don't think Jackson could have found a more charismatic and down to earth dude.
He signed the back plate of my So Cal "Charvel 4 life, stay true!" Most of the "stick to your heart and play for your own enjoyment" speeches tend to be pretty corny but when Chris lays it down it just makes you want to relax and jam.
Anyways if you didn't already see it coming, we may see a USA 7 string and some cool USA select options but as of a time frame I have no idea. This meeting has only super charged my love for Jacksons and made me want my own USA model even more! I guess these product placement meetings do their thing subconsciously! My only regret is that there were so few people in the store for this, I'm loving the EVH 5150 tone.
tl;dr - met Chris Cannella, he played some new 7 string jams and all was well.
Just thought I'd share, has anyone else seen him on his independent music store tour?
