There was some talk of some sort of 75th Anniversary emblem that would be applied to guitars made in this year. I don't know if that is still an active idea or whether it will be revealed at NAMM or not.

Well, hey, I get to go for a half day. I've never been. Do they allow cameras?

Thanks! No 5 or 8 string 4004's but it looks like a cool display. I'd love to have a few of those TRC "stands".

I attended NAMM 2005 and it was a great thrill. I think everyone should try their best to go at least once in their lives. It really was a lot of fun. My wife also greatly enjoyed it.

Cool. First time time I've seen amps at the booth. Should be popular.

How come no one is talking about that acoustic with the cutaway? Haven't seen that before...

Page 2; last picture; behind the 1996. Look at the binding and you'll see the cutaway...
