NAMM pics and thoughts..............

Ibanez 8 stringer, they did a nice job imo but the neck is so freaking wide.



20th anny JEM, yes it does look better in person but I was hoping for a lockness.



Charvels, nothing really cool and with Fender cashing in I see the death coming.



Diezel and the most sexified 1/2 stack on the planet!!!!!!



Mesa Express 550, did not get a good listen but the amp looks promising.



EVH Frankie....I have nothing to say.



Another shot.........this guitar sucks.



Some Jacksons....due to Fender wanting to raise the prices 20% not much action in the custom shop.



JEMS and the new black one, I have to admit it is great looking.

cool pics man

did you get a look at the 7 string S? that one really has my attention

Kage pissing Ed off in a way only he can



New VOX heads.



20th anny RG550s, they play great and the matching HSC are very cool.



Yes, I did sneak away long enough to get to Vai without Kage bashing me 8)



New Vox Tonelab



Steve Freaking Morse!



My boy Shea jamming out with Keith and Ralphie, Shea has the love of playing and his attitude is so refreshing.

I cannot say enough about going to NAMM at last, my jaw was on the floor when I walked through those doors, there is nothing like it. Anyone for the love of gear has to go to this show.

My thank you list........

Bob Savage...thanks for the huge effort you put into John's gathering by bringing all that stuff and micing the whole damn thing, you have a place to crash anyday in Connecticut.

John Zepman......thanks for hosting bro, you are a true formite and the way we should all be with others on the board.

Darren and Keith...not members but it would be so rude not to mention them. Two of the nicest guys on the planet and they to have the love for music.

Randy....good luck brother with things and here is to seeing you next year!

Shea....Ok...so we all wanted to kill him the first night and yes after 10 minutes at NAMM he nails my beer and soaks Kage and I....I still love ya brother. His love for playing and attitude towards the guitar is just so freaking awesome....he is the most metal guy on Rig-talk :x \M/

Matt StevieRay........I want my $35 dollars :x You rock bro and so cool to meet you!

Ralph and Kage...my bunkmates. I love you guys and thank you for everything. I will be your wingman everytime.

Cool pedal award goes to the Eventide delay pedal, that freaking pedal is just awesome. The H&K pedals get a special merit.

Cool new amp......do I have to answer this????

Cool new guitar award goes to both the 20th anny RG550s and the EB JP F1,great playing guitars.

Catering provided by Jack in the Box and the nearest 7-11.

Special holla out to Chubtone and Mentoneman, nice to meet you cool cats! Also Ed D.....my theory instructure and one cool bro.

Coolest moment.....one on one with the alt picking king himself Paul Gilbert

4 freaking years and I got to NAMM, I told myself I would not be sitting hear on the forums waiting for info and hell yeah mission accomplished.
