     NAMM 2014 starts off with a bang. We run into Tom Petersson of Cheap Trick debuting his new bass at the Gretsch booth. After that we get interviews with Joe Trohman of Fall Out Boy, Bruce Kulick of Grand Funk Railroad and William Duvall vocalist/rhythm guitarist of Alice in Chains. In addition to securing these huge interviews, we make our way around to check out the sights and sounds of a Thursday at NAMM.

     Some of the photos you will see are from the ESP Booth, the Schecter Booth, a photo of a original Fender Stratocaster that was owned one time by Jimi Hendrix, Goldfish guitars booth, Latin Percussion booth, Fender booth including a wall of Edie Van Halen models, Boldface guitar cases, the circus theme at the Ernie Ball booth, Lace pickups booth, Orange amps, Danelectro guitars, GHS guitar strings, and last but not least a photo of a van set up at the Rocktron booth.
