2020 Winter NAMM Rumor Mill

[MHC]

There have been sightings of a Huss & Dalton electric guitar.

I wonder if that's just a one-off pleasure project, of if H&D will make it available for sale. Maybe we'll know come NAMM time.

Hey Uncle Jesse,

Thanks a million for that. Good news... and bad news -- now I want one!!

Lower prices across the board to beat the competition.

H&D posted a few pics of two additional Statesboro’s being completed for NAMM. Looks like they will have 3 at the show. I’m not an electric guy but that one looks very nice. Should compete against the Collings electric I would think.

Just saw this as I was looking for NAMM rumors-

From Yamaha-

Guitars will launch a revamped acoustic guitar series featuring the groundbreaking Atmosfeel pickup and preamp system

I am currently shopping the A-Series (AC5R specifically) and I would think this is the next logical line for the atmosfeel to be added to. I’ll certainly be watching and waiting...

I really, really, really wish they would have chosen to create something their own instead of a straight LP copy. I appreciate that Collings has things that are at least their own unique take. There is so much you can do with an electric guitar...

Would like to see Yamaha offer a Henriksen-type, small cube amp.....but at a more affordable price range.....

Thanks to the OP and others. I'll be there Thursday and Friday. I've also heard that there are ways for non-industry people to get in. Heck, you could probably stand by the exit on Sunday and ask someone leaving to give you their badge.

Furch looks to be having some really nice guitars and is finally doing the arm bevel.

Z bracing could be a fun way to hook the kids for another year or two. Oh, what about T for Taylor bracing?

It does seem like everyone’s 180 mph on electronics this year at the expense of acoustic enhancements. Everyone wants their guitar to sound the same on their iPhone as it does in real life. Wave of the future, I guess.

I saw the Baggs Soundscape pedal release. Looks like it uses your phone to record an image of your guitar that is then uploaded to the pedal for playing live.
