GGH News : GGH NAMM Show Experience
Posted by Dan on 2008/2/27 17:00:00 --

If you've never been to the NAMM show in Anaheim, California then you are missing quite an experience, especially if you are a musician. Every manufacturer of every instrument and accessory - traditional to modern to exotic - is present and showing off their wares.

80,000 people pack the Anaheim Convention Center. It's crazy noisy, music coming from everywhere. There are solo musicians and DJs and bands playing their hearts out. It's the funniest thing to see a super hot solo guitarist shredding away as people walk by without a glance. Then you'll see a girl playing the fiddle while a guy in a suit jams along with a mandolin surrounded by a crowd. There are small stages and big stages packed with people and great acts...known and unknown.

We had a great show this year. GGH was very well known...to the point of people dragging us into their booths. It was a great experience. My voice was toast at the end of NAMM and took a few days recover from the abuse.

Nevertheless, we perservered and came away with some great footage and a round-up of new gear to review this year. I've already posted these videos, but if you haven't had a chance - take a look at NAMM from our perspective!

(NOTE: More Videos are Coming Check this Thread Often!)

Here is what previous winners had to say:


"Thanks a WHOLE lot! That's so cool. It seems unusual to me that a company would donate such a nice instrument. Normally you would expect them to send something from their "entry level" line."

- Tom -


"Just wanted to let you know that I received the guitar today. Great timing, as I've got a Mardi Gras party to play. Nice looking and feeling so far! Thanks for the great prize and the great site!"

- Jim -


"Wow, I've not won too many things like this before. It's really great that you guys have put together such a great site and can do these kinds of things. I'm glad I'm able to be a part of such a great community (even if we do get a little carried away every once in a while.)"

- Greg -


"Turns out I won the December giveaway and the stuff arrived today. Submit some reviews folks, this stuff's for real!"

- gsouth -


I can't believe I won honestly. I'd been sitting by my computer every day since the 1st refreshing the GGH main page every hour or so. And then sometimes when I was out of the house I'd call up someone I know to check the website for the results. Monday had come and gone and no word. I'd lost most hope of winning. Then tonight I refresh the page ONE LAST TIME before I headed out to dinner to meet my brother for his birthday, and nothing. "Oh Well" I said to myself, "I'm glad someone won it at any rate. The world is a better place with another guitar in it." Then I got home and saw that I had a new email from gary. I could barely believe it, I won. It's still sureal.
