I could probably fake my way thru a few Allman Bros songs on BASS but not Chick Corea. He could put you thru so many changes you wouldnt know what end was up.

JimiBryant · January 25th, 2008, 03:38 PM

great photos, Arlo - many, many thanks from one who couldn't be there!

BarnesTO · January 25th, 2008, 03:45 PM

Love the ElDorado stuff, and the new Danelectro '63....just might have to get one of those ;)

seansdadj · January 25th, 2008, 03:56 PM

great pictures! I wish I would have gone to the NAMM show

Tele Fan · January 25th, 2008, 04:37 PM

Hi Andy,

Well I really didn't get to ring the Spider out like I would like to. Bill doesn't like distortion and of course NAMM has the DB police so it was used but in a subdued fashion.

I am a firm believer in the Flex for my style of playing and I own 4 of them now. Although I may have to get one for my kid.

Albert had Bill bring the Spider back to his shop in Corona not sure what the status is on it but I think he is waiting to hear from him.

I would like to say once again bro, mucho gracias to LINE 6, Andy and Albert!! I hope to meet you out there either next year or in Nashville.

Taipan · January 25th, 2008, 11:13 PM

ROADMAN · January 26th, 2008, 02:05 AM

that was great fun checking out your pics Arlo...you sure
looked like you enjoyed yourself...thanks so much

guitarbuilder · January 26th, 2008, 06:57 AM

Interesting photos Arlo. It looks like a guitar show but on a grand scale. How big is that booth that you were in and do you have any idea how much they had to pay for it?

Hi Marty,

The booth was around $2500 and it was something like 10 x 10 maybe a little smaller. It is a good size for a Pine guitar body display

You thinking about exhibiting your stuff next year?

guitarbuilder · January 26th, 2008, 11:43 AM

Only if they have a 2'x10' booth for 500 dollars...:-).

Yep them are the St Blues. They had some decent looking guitars on display I thought. That one caught my eye but it would have to be a righty fo me.

Click here and you can hear Bill playing Ol Piney

OaklandA · January 26th, 2008, 04:43 PM

Wow....great slide show! Thanks for that.

Especially like:

Trussart exhibit
El Dorado stuff
The picture of Don Mare, Jason Lollar, and Bill Lawrence...what a tone brain trust

Very cool. One of these times I'm going to have to figure a way into the NAMM show.

GuitarJonz · January 27th, 2008, 11:22 PM

Are those blade pickups in the black tele? Bill's new blades? If so how did they sound?

i would kill for a chance to play that guitar in the middle and you act like its a piece of trash. and even w/ that sign i would still touch it. to most REAL guitarist thats like the holy grail of guitars. buy the new guitar world, panteras- vulgar display of power, a six pack and check him out i guarantee that itll be worth it.

Thanks for the nice PM. Let's share it so everyone will understand where I am coming from.

I meant no disrespect to the Dime bro. I truly didn't know who's guitars they were or who would put Kiss stickers on them for that matter. I had no idea why anyone would make such a fuss at NAMM unless it was someone well known. I thought it must be Paul Stanley. I stand corrected.

I was way more interested in the Tommy Bolin display. They just caught my attention for a second. So I took a picture.

Let's see now have I ever heard of Dime? Dallas Sound Lab, Tim Kimsey, Pantera's strip club. Hmmmmmmmmmm............ I dunno, I guess not.

WOW - OUCH - As soon as Rite-Aid opens at 9:00 am I gonna run down by me a 30 pack of Keystone Lights and then over to the local Liquor store and buy me a bottle of Jack to try to drink away my sorrows and try to come to grips with the fact that I am not the REAL guitarist I thought I was.....anybody care to join me?....

superchicken_VI · January 28th, 2008, 10:23 AM

Seems like someone got lost on his way to Harmony Central...

Wow... Sorry to stick my foot in my mouth... but... It struck me as rather odd that the only guitars with a "do not touch" sign on them were Dean guitars... Especially since one of our local guitar stores was a Dean dealer... and Deans were the only guitars without "do not touch" signs on them...

I liked Pantera... and was saddened by Dimebag's death..

ehawley · January 28th, 2008, 03:31 PM

Thanks Arlo for the great pictures!! Looks like a fun time was had by all! You know my heart was drawn to the only pic of the CNC router!

Thanks again
Cheers

That might well be true. I guess I must be about "halfway good", then since I opened for him. But that was in a 10-piece funk band playing something I'm actually good at (bass).

You know I thought of you instantly when I saw that machine Ed.

By the way we cut 4 body's with your templates the other day. 3 Cherry and one flamed Maple. I have to try a test fitting before Saturday. I guess they want to do some more then. Thanks for all the help Ed!

Jellecaster · January 29th, 2008, 10:35 AM

I'm just shocked and saddened to find-out that I'm not a real guitarist.

That's sweet... opening for Chick.... i bet that's one heck of a musical memory......

and as far as Bass players playing w/ Chick........ No offense Rob, but I doubt that you are as pleasant on the eyes as Tal Wilkenfield.

0dannyboy · April 4th, 2008, 09:23 PM

The three Deans guitars that have the Do Not Touch sign on them are Dimebag Darrells from Pantera.

He was shot to death on stage by a "mental" fan while preforming with his brother a couple of years back.

Probabley worth a fortune.
