Anyone at NAMM this weekend?? I know, definitely not a "jazz guitar" outing, but it's still fun!
Show us some pics, and wear ear-plugs!!

I’ve always wanted to go but it’s on the other side of the country.
Sounds like a fun place to hang out though.

Went many years back in 1986. All I can say is t feels a lot like Mardi Gras and Headache all mixed together, Lol!

Here are some NAMM-2022 pix. Total number of archtop guitars on display at NAMM 2022 - eight? Greg German was at the Boutique Guitar Showcase with a couple of nice guitars (but I don't have pix of them) along with Michael Sankey, Tim Bram and Tyler Wells. Eastman revealed its obvious guitar strategy in a booth that had one archtop. And Steve Marchione was there with a lovely booth, woohoo! Nice guy, great guitars. I had a great chat with him and played one of his semis for awhile. Heck, if I had a spare $27,000, I'd grab one of them in a second.
The show was much smaller than normal but the organizers put up a bold front by packing almost everything into four main halls, with a few folks up on Level 2 and Level 3.Last edited by Hammertone; 06-12-2022 at 05:32 PM.

My pals from Germany were there at the "Made in Germany" booth. Beatle basses, Club basses, nice fiddles, and a few gorgeous German-made "Leader" guitars. The name works in German (Lieder - German songs, get it?, get it? say no more, say no more) but not so much in English. No archtops, but there may be some hope for the future.

I think Ben Wilborn was supposed to be there (or at least one of his guitars). He's finished an octave mandolin recently and from the discussion around it I think we may yet see an archtop guitar from him.

That violin finish reminds me of the special run of Teles Fender did last year based on a Stradivarius violin.
This Telecaster was inspired by a 308-year-old Stradivarius violin | MusicRadar
Look's like Bram's guitars run around $7K or less, but the Fender's went for around $30K.
