A lot of information is being reported today from the NAMM Show. Several sites are providing coverage of the show, including the following (via John Jinright):
Some of the notable announcements from the show include the Peavey Mike Stone Signature MS-1 guitar, which is a collaboration with Queensryche guitarist Mike Stone and Erik Buell from Buell Motorcycles.
Randall has announced a series of Kirk Hammett Signature products, including an amplifier and amplifier modules.
Gibson has announced 15 new guitar models, including: Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom w/Bigsby, Steve Jones Les Paul Custom, Lee Ritneour ES-335, Johnny Winter Firebird, Slash #1 Les Paul Standard Ages and Signed, Mick Jones Les Paul Custom, Alex Lifeson ES-355 VOS, Les Paul Axcess, The Ultratone, ES-339 Figured, and the ES-359.
Martin has introduced two new acoustic guitar models: D-28M Elvis Presley Commemorative Limited Edition (only 175 total) and D-28 Elvis Presley Commemorative Edition.
N-Tune has come out with an onboard tuner that looks interesting. The tuner installs under your volume knob, and you pull up on the volume knob to tune and then push back down when you’re done. You can see a video of the tuner in action below.
Thanks for the mention… and cool video, btw; –isn’t that volume knob tuner similar to the one found on the Gibson Robot Guitar?

Hey John, thanks for stopping by! I’ve heard that the N-Tune tuner is similar to the one on the Robot Guitar, but I haven’t seen either one in person. It does certainly look that way.
