The summer show put on by the National Association of Music Merchants in Nashville, Tennessee was a guitar fest this year, with the majority of the booths dealing in electric and acoustic, guitar and bass instruments, as well as related products. Much smaller than the winter event in Anaheim, California, it affords extra time to search out offbeat smaller companies that get lost in the massiveness of the January show. Here is a sampler of what Guitar Moderne thought might be of interest to our readers:
P3 gives new meaning to the term “amp head.”
P3 Amps offers distinctively modern looking amps, priced for those unaffected by the recession.
