Great pics and good to see you had a great time and enjoyed yourself. These pics bring back memories. The paisley kinda Strat and the Marshall Jubilee would have awoken my special interest :-) I once met Uli Roth...let's say he's a very special guy and outstanding guitar player.
Hopefully, NAMM brings some new impulses, because in Europe the branch is doing very poor. Had a chat with one of my old buddies who told me that most of the companies, even the big players, are currently laying off employees. I always wonder how product fixated the industry is and how hesitant they invest and practice marketing and make use of the different marketing channels.
