The Pros and Cons of NAMM
It's a new podcast episode. This time around, Two Old Guys and a Middle-Age Guy Talk About Guitars and Gear and Stuff has a guest. Ronny North tells tales of playing the show with a busted headstock.
And then there was that time with Ace Frehley on the couch on a back room at the Gibson booth…
Plus, Ronny, don’t hold back, man. What do you really think about certain big-name rock stars?
Kidding aside, Ronny has some great advice for getting the most out of NAMM as an attendee. And, for this Guitar Hero, it’s not at all just about playing and gear. Can you say “marketing”? We thought you could.
Evidently we were not the only ones asking the "to Nam or not to NAMM question. Scott is there and just reported that the show floor is about 1/2 just empty space. I've heard from some in the manufacturing world that, due to issues ranging from chip shortages to problems getting people back to work, they did not expect to ship any significant new product until at least mid 2023.
