Nice pics Joe. I had no idea you could do those things to a guitar. My personal favorite would have to be Jeffrey the Giraffe....GK!

You have to be registered by NAMM to get tickets for that place...meaning owning a music store, etc....I had extra tickets to go but were in other people's names and security was so tight ID checks etc. I don't think you could've passed for Charleen Morla or Jose Perez?
