  • Summer NAMM Rumors

    Just a few weeks away. I'll throw out the few rumors that I've heard so far. Some or all of which may be total bulls**t. Take 'em with a healthy grain of salt, just like I have myself.

    - EVH "Frankie" replica and new amp. Well, these aren't "rumors" per se, but they're rolling out with Summer NAMM.

    - New EVH "Wolfgang" (or whatever it's called) production model. Rumored to be MIM, initially. Supposedly followed by custom shop stuff later on. One rumor has it following the old Wofgang body style, the other with a more traditional strat-like body.

    - Jackson Iron Maiden sig models, replica (or replicas) of their old stratheads. This rumor is supposedly supported by the "on again / off again" decision to not allow custom shop Jackson stratheads with the last NAMM show. i.e., It went "off" again as the sig model discussions got more serious again back then. Also possibly supported by Maiden pulling out some of their old Jacksons on tour now.

    - Dave Musty-bones limited edition KV. Yes, supposedly his Dean sig does go away that quickly. The rumor is that it is not a "production" guitar, but more of a high-bucks LE. And, no, it won't be a Y2KV. Even if this rumor were true, FMIC wouldn't do the shape anyway.

    - JEL Charvel limited edition models.

    - Jeff Beck Soloist replicas. ...OK, this one isn't really out in the rumor mill. But - given all of the other BS rumors that people have taken as "fact" in the past - I just started this one for the pure fun of it. :ROTF:

    ...So what semi-baseless rumors that are probably total BS have you guys heard?

          The Wolfgang rumor sounds nutty.

          why start by producing them in Mexico and then move to the Custom Shop? Are they trying to submarine their promotion before it even starts?

          Come to think of it, this seems like a typical FMIC decision, so it must be true.

            Some or all of each one sounds nutty to me. Really.

            IMHO, the only one that seems to have even a remotely reasonable shot at reality for Summer NAMM is the Maiden sig one. And emphasis on "remotely".

                I've heard similar things about the Wolfgang. And an import Charvel line (what's the point?)

                Can't see the Maiden guitar(s) coming yet, if they happen - more likely to coincide with the 'old school' tour next year (Powerslave to Seventh Son)...
                Popular is not the same as good
                Rare is not the same as valuable
                Worth is what someone will pay, not what you want to get

                  What man, did you call up Mustaine on his cell? Or were you at your monthly meeting with Shannon and the gang?

                  and by the way,

                  No chicken for you! :ROTF:

                      The return of the MIJ Model Series for Charvel. Or some kind of Model series, judging by the lack of a USA by the logo on their new site.

                              How did this become a "wish list" thread?
