I'm flying out tomorrow, visiting Gabriel at Echopark Guitars on Wednesday, a nice new range coming out there which I'll get the skinny on in El Monte, I'll be posting stuff on our Facebook and Insatgram pages, mainstream stuff and more leftfield gear. My meeting shedule is insane but I love it....

Head over to booth 1595 and say hi to Adam for me  He's taking a few new Satellite valve pedals that are being added to his line which from what he's told me should be pretty interesting.

Good work Doug, just don't mention anything about master volumes!!
Tell him when he gets back to crack on with the dual Brownface and Magnatone trem/vibrato unit design/research some English guy keeps pestering about.

Have fun.   Look forward to your updates

In interesting news, though, Gibson have announced a range of $399 US-made guitars. I'll never buy one, but it's an interesting development nonetheless.

I think this year's NAMM is going to be the best for years in terms of guitar news.

Looking at the specs of those new Gibson's, some are listed at "American Made" & others as "Made in the USA", I wonder what the distinction is?

Rumour on the Les Paul Forum is that Gibson Custom are merging some True Historic features with Standard Historic guitars for 2017 lineup.

That may be the most exciting development I have heard in years.

Always wondered what a thin line paisley would look like. Scratchplate spoilt it though.

That's great news @DougCoda ! Glad Adam took the advice and went with you

The only problem is I'll have to find another company no one else over here is using now lol

There's a few things in that PR that stand out as being a bit 'wtf'...

Such as on the Kendrick Strat:

The Stratocaster will feature three Mark Kendrick OEM Strat pickups, and the control plate is a tip of the hat to George Fullerton, who did something similar but less characteristic to a Stratocaster pickguard, on an unreleased ‘50s guitar.

Firstly am I the only person who looked at that and thought of this guitar:



Certainly the ugly chunk out the pickguard is similar and arguably a better known guitar. (Jerry Garcia's from The Grateful Dead for our young readers).

Plus "who did something similar but less characteristic".... wtf does that mean? 'Less characteristic' makes no English sense - although thats not unusual in press releases. Perhaps that needs an editorial tweek, eh?
