As part of their continued support of musicians everywhere MusiCares was holding an auction in the lobby of Summer NAMM to raise fund for those people who were effected by the Nashville flood of 2010. With a wide range of very cool auction items, generously donated by many of the companies at the conference, we all hope that the auction was a success.
Guitar International is happy to feature an exclusive video demonstration of a handful of new and classic Electro-Harmonix effects pedals from this Summer’s NAMM show. It’s a rare event to hear and see someone who works closely with these pedals on a daily basis describe them, play through them and give their opinion of them so we want to give our thanks to EHX for taking the time to talk to us.
Since most of our coverage of the Summer NAMM show deals with guitars, guitarists and guitar accessories we wanted to diversify a bit by showcasing a string company who caught our attention, but that doesn’t make guitars specifically. After looking around and scoping out the offerings the company that drew us in with their well thought out display and quality instruments were the fine folks over at Folkcraft.
Custom paint jobs for guitars have been around for almost as long as the electric guitar itself. While some companies are trying to expand the art from by focusing on detail and the quality of the paint, others are experimenting with new mediums and materials. One of those companies is Hand Guitars, who are working with white clay and coconut to deliver amazingly cool custom guitar designs.
There are few guitars more catching to the eye than a Harp guitar. They look like a work of art, as though Picasso himself dreamed them up and brought them to life for the world to play. While most of us know these guitars from watching virtuosos such as Michael Hedges performing, more and more players are venturing out and experimenting with the instrument.
