Great job as always Phil. Thanks for the pics.
I hope that this thread and the pictures and comments gives you guys a "feel" of what it's like to go to a NAMM show, as well as a few of the things that I found particularly interesting. While its literally impossible for any one person - or even a dozen people - to see and hear everything at NAMM, I really try to grab the stuff that interests me, and hopefully that will interest some of you too. While I do have to stop and discuss business occasionally (arranging for gear reviews and so forth) and get demonstrations, I try to keep moving and grab as much as I can; that way, you guys can scroll through the thread and, via the pictures, kind of "walk through" the NAMM show yourself - or at least parts of it.
While the sheer volume of pictures prevents me from giving you a full description of each and every item, hopefully if something grabs YOUR eye, there's enough info there that you can do a Google search and go to the manufacturer's website to get the details. Of course, if you have any questions about anything, I am here and will do my best to try to answer them. And finally, if I missed something that you wanted to see, my humble apologies. 
Yeah, just a wee bit Irish - as my grandmother says "as Irish as Paddy's pig".
This thread is about a Fender I restored / modified last year, with the help of my friend Dennis, who is a master builder at the Fender Custom Shop.

This is what the body looked like as I started to spray the seafoam green over the white primer...
When I saw that Strat at NAMM, it kind of reminded me of that.
I don't know if it's been twenty years, but it has been the same booth for a while now, hasn't it?
And why not? :idk: I like the design... it's open and it displays their guitars in a nice, classy way. It's easy to walk through, and it is easy to see "into" as you're walking past - which encourages people to go into it for a closer look. And trade show booths cost big money, so as long as it's still working, I don't think John Hall wants to pump a bunch of money into a new one. His guitars still are made in the USA, and still sell like hotcakes; it seems like they're always running at capacity and / or are backordered, so in his shoes, I doubt I'd be inclined to pump a ton of money into a new trade show booth either.

Great job, Phil!! Now all I have to do is read your thread to see the stuff I missed :thu:
There are now eight music videos posted on my YouTube channel, including a cover of "We Gotta Get Out of This Place," which joins "Little Pieces", "Black Market Daydreams," and "When the Grid Goes Down" (complete with disturbing video
