Theres some more cool stuff for us metalheads coming this weekend, namely in the form of a bunch of signature model guitars.

Jeff Waters of Annihilator is getting a Gibson and Epiphone signature V

More from Gibson - 8 new Slash Les Paul guitars. Also on their last tour Jon Schaffer of Iced Earth was seen using an Epiphone Les Paul that looked a bit like the goth line that was out a few years ago. Could this be a signature model in the works?

Dean Guitars has some cool new sigs lined up including Vinnie Moore and the Trivium guys. Bound to be a lot of cool Deans as always.

B.C. Rich's line has gotten a much needed makeover. They are even putting out a Chuck Schuldiner Stealth model which I think is cool.

Ibanez news: Herman Li sig model coming out as well as a 24 fret version of the S-series guitars!

Jackson is coming out with the Phil Demmell (Machine Head) Demmellition V guitar.

We came very close to getting someone inside for photos and reviews. I am sooo bummed it didn't work out. :cry

[tbhride]

That would have been killer! Bummer

Yeah, someday I might just try to pull strings to get my sorry ass in there.

I can't believe you didn't!

I went in 2004 and had the motherfucking TIME OF MY LIFE! Whoa... it's nuts down there!

Gooooooood times indeed. I'd LOVE-LOVE-LOVE to go back sometime soon. I still have my pass hanging on my wall and have a NAMM coffee mug that came with it's own coffee. The coffee and it's velvet bag is on my wall, actually too. haha

It's a money issue. Funds are VERY tight right now. :cry

[tbhride]

Attending a NAMM show is something I want to do at some point of my life.

So Marshall is releasing a Randy Rhoads signature amp.

Randall is releasing a mess of signature amps: from Kirk Hammett, Michael Amott (Arch Enemy) and Christian Olde Wolbers (Fear Factory). Interesting that a year ago Amott and Wolbers were both playing Krank amps.
