‘Preciate the info Marc. What’s required to get into the Anaheim NAMM?

Hey Matt, just noticed this …
to the best of my knowledge there are 3 ways to get into the Anaheim show.
1) Obtain a pass from an exhibitor
2) Join the NAMM organization, which involves submitting all kinds of paperwork to validate your existence in the 'business'.
3) Join the A.E.S. for $150/year, which gives you the ability to buy a NAMM pass for $100/year (or $50 if you catch it at the right time).

This fine fella was on display in the Kiesel/Carvin booth. It is indeed one of the nicest Kiesel's I've had the pleasure to meet, but I find the price tag to be a bit steep, even for such a fine build.

Wow! That is indeed beautiful, but with the terrible resale value of used Carvin and Kiesel instruments you'd have to be pretty damn sure about buying that!

That pale moon ebony fingerboard is gorgeous, and I'm a sucker for flamed koa. 7A flamed koa! I can imagine that being one crazy expensive piece of top wood.
