CF Guitar Predictions for 2016 NAMM

[Fixedgear60]

Hi Everyone,

Thought if would be fun to predict what our favorite CF guitar manufacturers will be showing/releasing at NAMM this year.

I will go first:

Joe @ Blackbird just released a new picture on facebook of new moldes. In the background you can see a different ekoa instrument size. When I commented he said... "All will be revealed soon!!!"

What can it be??? Tenor ekoa uke.... New 00 eKoa guitar... looks like a non slotted headstock given the size of the headstock.

What fun!!!

I'm always like a kid in the candy store at NAMM time. Maybe I will actually go there some year? Want to induce gas? Get on a plane and go to NAMM- yep, great idea

-full size Michael Kelly by popular demand?
-a nylon string from Journey?
-a new ekoa and carbon offering from Blackbird?

What great fun!

I think you mean the McPherson 'Kevin Michael'.

I'm definitely expecting to see something new at Blackbird, Journey, and Kevin Michael, although I expect we wont actually see the instruments in the store till later in the year. Look for daily updates on our facebook page starting Wednesday the 20th.

Looking forward to the updates. I just "liked" your FB page.

That mould doesn't look big enough to be a guitar but too big to be a tenor ukulele.

I'm going to guess it might be a small "travel" guitar size, GS mini territory. Or, possibly a baritone ukulele.

If it's an acoustic suitcase guitar, I'm in.

+1 Yes ... where is our friend Mr. Kramster???? The Spielberg of the CF guitar world... with his adventures in cf guitars and beautiful side kicks.....

Thanks Ted... I look forward to it. Perhaps someday there will be a show... CF Guitars in Cars Getting Coffee or something like that..... Crackle is calling....

Oh man, the Farallon tenor ‘ukulele looks perfect! Classic Hawaiian looks (no binding, no fretboard inlay). Reminds me of my mid-80s Kamaka!
