Namm 2010

[jhale667]

Time for the annual "bell and whistle" show that is NAMM to roll into the Anaheim Convention Center again...all the hot new gear under one roof...like the biggest, loudest Guitar Center/Electronics store in the world...or sticking your head in a hornet's nest... Still, a gearhead's playground.



Got heavy (regular) work stuff going on this week, was going to take a day off but can't so won't be going until Saturday (barring complications...at work) but figured I'd go ahead and start the thread in case someone who actually posts pictures *cough* makes it there before me...


Plus some of the manufacturers are already posting cool teaser pics and vids...

Like here's the Charvel section in the FMIC exhibit in the early stages of set up...




(Good to see them putting out some pointy headstocked Charvels this year!)


The Jackson section under construction...






Biggest *gasp* :eek: thus far would be Yngwie's move to Seymour Duncan, and on a lesser-known note Tony MacAlpine leaving Carvin for Ibanez...will be interesting to see what develops...

SoCalChelle has always said if you want VH info, MA doesn't talk about it but Duggins the stage tech might if he knows you.

And since he won't hang with retards, and he doesn't know you I doubt you'd get any dirt.. just stay there in the tundra where you belong you filthy witch-wig.

Who's that fat queen picking zits off his earlobe? He didn't know shit about the product or the company when I spoke with him/her/it..

Yeah, anyone with a camera and an interest in seeing the place half-empty is worthy of posting pics on THIS board, of all places.. you must know NAMM had less than half it's regular exhibit space sold as of late October which was the deadline for going. And I doubt they make any further progress than that in late add-ons by showtime so it is quite possible they close Hall E and a good portion of D hall too.

Yup, it's gonna look like a 1970's capacity show.. lo, how the mighty have fallen!

The good show to go as a must-see convention anymore is the Ampshow. NAMM is too snobbish anyways for non-industry folk to attend anyway..

The Summer NAMM show in Gnashville was a NAMM Show in name only. It fucking sucked. All the big manufacturers stayed away in droves. Even Gibson, Fender and Marshall were not there.

I was warned about this!

Is this because of the huge storm - I was told it was because of the rediculous rain, not any "pullout."

I don't see the snakeskin Charvel. What up ?
