My NAMM Coverage Starts Tomorrow

[Bryan]

How about the Jet City booth? There's a new "mystery" blue amp that they keep teasing about.

Thanks for the info and the link MetalDaze. My son finally gave up the computer after spending the last hour going over the photos. Just what the world needs: another Future OCD Guitar Owner.

I wonder if they have any of those new Charvels there? the Star and the soloist style.

I can answer this since I was there today. Yes, they have the new Star and Soloist models on display in the Charvel booth. I picked up one of the Desolation single cut (Les Paul style) guitars to try it out and was pleasantly surprised. The neck felt great and the playability seemed fantastic. Not sure on the sound since it wasn't plugged in to an amp. I think I'm going to go back and try another one tomorrow.

Can they get any more paperwork on the necks of the guitars? Didnt see any pics of PC1's, and only 1 Supreme.

[fullmetalguitar]

I think there was just one PC1 at the Jackson booth. It was a solar.

Yes, Gibson is here and they have a ton of guitars displayed. They seem to have come back to reality so I may be coming back on as a Custom Shop dealer this year. Brian Wilson was at their booth when I was there. Ran into JCF'er RoodyRocker too, always enjoy talking with him!

Any close ups of the Charvel booth?

[Firebird V]

Thank you Matt.

So less production models and more custom shop pieces. Interesting marketing, I guess they figure the higher end stuff will sell better then production models. We will see....

Who did Jackson have signing this year?

[fullmetalguitar]

Not sure if Jackson had anyone signing. Phil was not there. Charvel had Warren from Ratt and a couple other guys I never heard of.

[djpharoah]

Jackson had Chris Broderick, David Ellefson, Scott Ian and Metal Mike when I went on Saturday.

[Deneb]

this thread is worthless without pictures.

[roodyrocker]

Yes, one PC-1 and one Supreme is all I saw. All my Jackson pix have been uploaded to Facebook so you can see them there. The Charvel ones I'll upload when I get back home. I also videod a demo of that blue Jet City Amp on clean and distortion channels that I'll put up on YouTube later.
Ran into Matt as usual. Always a pleasure Matt, if you become a Gibson dealer I'm sure at some point I'll need to order another Les Paul Custom from you. I really like the 68 Reissues. Although Gibson had a lot on display, unfortunately they hid away all the cool custom shop, historic, and reissue stuff I was rather disappointed in their setup this year.

The PC Supreme was not horribly ugly in person like it is in videos

That's funny.... because I thought it was FAR fuglier in person!!!

I just don't get it.
