The 2015 NAMM Show has officially kicked off and we're excited about bringing you our live coverage of all the latest gear and events! Fender Custom Shop Master Builder Yuriy Shishkov simply stunned us with this "Pine Cone" Stratocaster inspired by an original Fabergé egg. It's certainly the show-stopping piece we knew Fender was capable of. From Master Builder Dale Wilson, we picked up this Clown Patch finish Strat. It looks amazing in person, and it's headed to The Zoo if you'd like to pre-order. The Fender Custom Shop 2015 Collection was announced recently and we finally had the chance to check them out in person. We'll be stocking the full line, but here is a taste of the Collection from the show, including a couple roasted neck guitars that were not for sale but showed us the direction they are heading. And for those of you looking for something a bit more fun and different, Fender is doing a limited run of Sand Blasted Body instruments in various colors. These look, and feel, very cool! Charvel Custom Shop is always a favorite at The Music Zoo and we've got a couple cool new one-offs heading in, including a Chip Ellis-built San Dimas with matching footpedal, and a Shazaam Lightning Bolt Graphic guitar from Red Dave. Jackson finally unveiled the long-awaited Misha Monsoor Signature Model. We've seen him playing this guitar for some time. It's been built from the ground-up, per his specs, and it is very impressive! Jackson Custom Shop also impressed with this 8-String One Off Soloist which will be coming to The Zoo. It's available for pre-order now! And, as many of you may have heard, The Music Zoo sponsored the Metal Allegiance show on Wednesday. We were on-hand for both the rehearsal and the event. Here's part one of the re-cap from rehearsal, keep an eye out for some amazing shots of the show in part two tomorrow. More posts are being added all the time, so keep an eye on our Blog through the weekend for more great news from NAMM! |
