NAMM 2011 Highlights

NAMM is the biggest music convention in the world which brings out rockstars, musicians,enthusiasts,manufacturers you name it. It's the Mecca of all things music. You must have a personal invite to attend. My journey started Wednesday January 12th at the Gretsch Guitars private showing where Gretsch Custom Shop Introduced the George Harrison "Tribute" Duo Jet Guitar. His son was in attendance for the celebration. It was a special evening for me as well as they introduced three one of a kind Custom Shop Kim Falcon Falcons. These beautiful guitars were built by Gretsch's very own amazingly talented master builder Mr. Steven Stern. They were airbrushed by famous artist Pamelina – who did all the tops – and Jimmy C is responsible for the beautiful pinstriping and gold leaf work on the guitar's backs. These guitars sold quick as they were silently auctioned by Gretsch's top buyers including Guitar Center (for the platinum website) and Rocky at Street Sounds, established in 1988, which is the largest authorized Gretsch® dealer in the US . www.streetsoundsnyc.com I have included several pictures that I have gathered from various sites, One including myself with noneother than Mr. Fred Gretsch and lovely Mrs. Dinah Gretsch. I am honored to be apart of the Gretsch Guitar Family and I can't thank them enough for everything. I would like to send a very special thanks to Mr. Joe Carducci for all the hard work and compassion he poors into Gretsch Guitars and all the support he has given me over the years. Of course a big thanks to Mr. Tim Harman otherwise known as Proteus the roving Gretsch reporter who narrates all Gretsch happenings on the Gretsch Discussion pages. Please make sure to visit the Gretsch website to pick up My 13 month Gretsch Calendar.
