NAMM is open for Biz!!!! ...NEW FENDER & EPI & IBANEZ Steve Vai with pics

NAMM 2020 WINTER SHOW
This is a VERY important show. I have been to 3 of them.
Let me give you some perspective of how big it is.
If you walked into every booth and and touched the counter with the brochures
grabbed just one then moved on it will take 3 whole days. Secondly Yamaha has
a room with only orchestra instruments. It is the size of large High School gym.

The coolest things are very small booths that are small new company's with
to die for new products. I would get home and NO ONE from the media
visited. If a few visit they insist on talking over the guy that is at the booth or
cut him off before he barely get's talking ...even more annoying he will ask to
here a secondary product they sell over the recommended product they sell.
I have actually seen a well know revue magazine get curt, rude and even make
fun of a product without ever hearing it!!!
You never get to know about the product. A big reason why SBS exists!
I not only give you a heads up I correspond with the guys that made it to
get the whole story. The very best of the few that are making killer stuff I
use all my contacts to get them out to you.
