X's 2015 NAMMGASIM Thread! \m/ - 01/25/15 10:17 PM

Hey guys, I'm just about to fly back from the Winter NAMM show & I'll be sharing some new gear picture over the next few days. It was an Epic trip & adventure as usual.

My "All things Carvin" thread is posted up above to get you all started. Carvin brought out 5-New models & that includes the Greg Howe 24-Fret bolt (& mines on order & special too), the Jason Becker "Numbers" guitar & the Kiesel Vadar series of 27" scale headless instruments in 6, 7 & 8 string models. Neil Zaza's Signature line has moved over to the New Kiesel branding as well.

There's plenty of stars, Carvin guitars & NAMM babes to get you started while I get some sleep. The other brands & gear pics will follow as well as a few stories too.

Welcome to Winter NAMM 2015! X

Great pics! I would love to get my hands on some of those beautiful instruments. Well, maybe not the 'angel' or the spikey model... but certainly many of the others are lust-worthy. Thanks for sharing your experience with us.

I find it amusing that the angel model has both a price tag of $75,000 AND a 'not for sale' sign... which is it?

I spent some time watching & getting to know Rob Balducci & all I can say is what a talented/humble/kind guy. A friend of mine named Jim turned me onto him & I'm greatful for that. I've got some stellar video of Rob's playing through the new Studio Devil unit too.

Well some of you guys know me & how I roll.......& well..... wink

I got plenty of time w/ Neil Zaza, but even though I've met & talked w/ Greg Howe before, this year was special due to his new signature model 24-Fret bolt. Greg took the time to talk to me w/ Jeff Kiesel from Carvin/Kiesel guitars too.

Re: X's 2015 NAMMGASIM Thread! \m/ - 01/27/15 06:02 AM

I'm first on the waiting list for the new GH12 & my (Special) order's been placed already. This chambered guitar is under 7-lbs & plays & sounds amazing (when Greg's playing it that is)! The bridge is a custom Kiesel pickup designed by Jeff & Greg just for this model.

Re: X's 2015 NAMMGASIM Thread! \m/ - 01/27/15 06:04 AM

& it has a Carvin Blade style pickup in the neck like most of Greg's guitars do.

Re: X's 2015 NAMMGASIM Thread! \m/ - 01/27/15 06:05 AM

It also has great upper fret access as well.

Carvin really owned this years Wintee NAMM show & then some!

Awesome coverage, I saw some of Kiko Loureiro & his guitars as well as Jason Becker's sig floating around. That one blonde chick kinda likes you I think, and you guys look good together too haha but I'm sure you're thinking all about those sweet sweet guitars.
