Did anyone go to NAMM?

Did anyone go to NAMM and scope out any of the cool stuff that they'll be releasing for ESP and Caparison?

I really wanted and planned to go, but life got in the way.

I didn’t go, but I heard it was really expensive this year.

NAMM isn't open to the public, as far as I know.

Caparison didn't go to NAMM this year, but they have SS fret models coming (can't say all will be though), also supposedly a Thomas Englund from Evergrey sig.

It technically isn't, but it is also trivial to get a pass from a dealer if you actually buy gear regularly.

Had no idea, I got an email to register I went a few years back.

Must be plenty in this group who aren't "the public" though.

I was morely questioning OP "planning on going" as I was pretty sure he wasn't "in the biz", but yeah, you're right I'm sure many on this forum were able to attend.

Word is that attendance was astonishingly low. Summer has always had lower turnout than winter NAMM. With post-covid work practices taking hold, companies just are not finding it necessary to send employees or representatives to in-person conferences.

Can't even be asked to release a new sponge finish. How hard is it to just change the 2 colors?

My buddy who’s a rep went.
1) expensive
2) exhibitors scaled back
3) attendance way down
4) not much exciting

I went. Hall D where all the guitar stuff is located was extremely small and spread out. I saw everything I wanted to see in about 4 hours on day one. A lot of the brands I wanted to see werent there. Next NAMM is 8 months away in April 2023. NAMM needs to make some changes or it will die out.
