NAMM 2007 Has Come and Gone

Well, it’s that time of year again and NAMM Show has come and gone…. and I missed again. It’s not like I missed the actual show, because I’m not a NAMM member, but I did miss all the fresh news about products and such.

Someone once said to me “How does he make his guitar sound like a Nintendo?”. I believe they were mistaking the keyboard [...]
