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?
