NAMM week begins.

Well it's that time of year again.  Hotels all over Anaheim are filling to capacity,people are buzzing about, the air is electric. I know this sounds like summertime at Disneyland but this is even better.  Winter NAMM 2009 begins this week at the Anaheim Convention Center.

Winter NAMM is the show of shows in the musical instrument industry.  This is where a lot of the cool new gear gets unveiled and this year looks to be a good one. 

One of the things I am personally looking forward to is the new Wolfgang from Fender/EVH.  Eddie has been working with Fender for the past few years to take his signature guitar to the next level.

The thing most near and dear to me that I am hoping to see this year is Mesa/Boogie's introduction of the Mark V.  I am a die hard Mark IV user and the buzz on the Internet has got me curios.  The fact that the Mark IV was officially discontinued last year yet the site still has a spot for "Mark Series" amps gave us all hope.

NAMM is also where I get to catch up with some old friends.  People who live out of state or someone that I knew way back when.  It's always good hear the stories from the road.
