Namm 11

[ponty]

So another Namm passes not nothing from Gibson acoustic. Do they even go to Namm?

There are so many gibsons of the past they could re-issue, but dont. GGggrrrr1

I didn't hear/see a thing about it?

not sure if they took one to the show, but there is supposed to be a new Jackson Browne sig coming out... basically a walnut Roy Smeck (a deep body, 12-fret AJ). i want to play one! expensive though!

There are so many areas of guitar style that Gibson don't do. Two that spring to mind are gypsy jazz guitars and Classical guitars - compared to how adventurous they are with their electrics they same to play it safe with their acoustic range.

I was hoping that some of the all in one recorders (Tascam,Roland,Korg) might introduce one with a "big screen" thats all thats keeping me out of that market.....so far.... o well

Here's a clip of Jackson Browne talking about his Roy Smeck inspired sig guitar at NAMM 2011 press conference.

Gibson Acoustics officially introduced several new models at NAMM, but regular readers of this forum already know all about them. Some manufacturers make a big production about keeping new models "secret" and "revealing" them at NAMM, some don't.

 

Martin is a good example of the former. I've played more than one Martin that was already at a dealer before the big "secret" that it existed was revealed at NAMM. "Secret" basically meant "not on the website yet". Gibson does press releases and such throughout the year, Martin saves 'em up for NAMM. Just different marketing approaches.

I like watching the masters chat away about acoustics. Great piece of film - it somehow reminded me of JT.

Is he really out of here. . . .
