NAMM '08

Hey Peter,

I received a call from a CNN producer last week asking me if they could shoot their morning show at one of our stores. I missed it but I hope we did ok.

Ok, I flew into Orange County Thursday morning arrived at the Anaheim Convention Center around 11 am. I saw JH, Ben, Kenny & Richard from RIC. Also, Paul Wilczynski (with JazzBo!), Gary Clauson and Mike Gutierrez. Later that night, I met up with Graham Griffiths and Joey Vazco. I hope to see more Forumites today! I will try and post pics this afternoon. Nothing from RIC at the booth but there were plenty of gorgeous instruments hanging around. Deep FGs, super-flamed 381s and the new, slimmer headstocks surround the RIC display. Til then.......

Thanks John. The Thicket did well. I await photos of those gorgeous instruments with much expectation.

Well, ok then. Here's just a few until later today.....http://web.mac.com/jc_williams/Site/2008_NAMM.html

John: Thanks. You're the best.

Thanks for the pics, keep us updated.

That shot of Paul reminds me of Doc Brown from Back To The Future". I went today also. I saw the Schector and after I get the few pics I took today, I'll post a pic of the Italia double neck Rick knockoff. It was just TOO obvious. Hipshot still has the replacement bridge for the 4003's on display in their booth.

Oh...and John Hall had some interesting things to say...although there was nothing new that we could see.

Nothing new now, but cool stuff to look forward to!

Here are some pics I took at the RIC booth:
