The Nashville NAMM SHOW.  
June 18-20, 2010

 

We had a lot of great players and dealers come and visit at the 2010 Nashville NAMM show.  Wish we could have seen you all. Those that did attend had a chance to play the new North American Tonewoods Small Jumbo and #1 of 15 of the new Piccolo Parlor.   Nice.   You can see pictures of the NAMM guitars here.  Below are pictures of some of our dealers, artists and friends that stopped by the booth. 

Thanks for looking!

One of the best things that happens at NAMM is that we ship all of the guitars to the  hotel and invite some of our Bourgeois playing friends over to check them out before we take them to the show floor.  This year we had a chance to hear the NAMM guitars played  by Danick Dupelle of Emerson Drive and Flatpick champ Scott Fore.    What fun.   Here are guitars all ready to go:

Here's great guitar player and new Bourgeois owner, Bob Minner from the Tim McGraw band.  He looks pretty happy, right?  Bobby just bought a Country Boy Deluxe and a Banjo Killer.  

After hearing the guitars at the show, Steve Haberichter from Down Home Guitars took home 2 more for his shop .  He's got a great shop in Frankfort Illinois.  Check him out if you haven't already.  He looks pretty happy too!

And another of our new favorite bands.  Check out The Apache Relay !  Mike Harris bought his first Bourgeois, a Country Boy Adi top with Hide Glue from our friends at Artisan Guitars.  We love these guys.  

Ellie & Bill Warmoth and Adam from the Artisan Guitars in Franklin Tennessee.  15 minutes from downtown Nashville and just about every good brand of guitars on the planet.  Great folks.  Great shop.  

Here's Danick Dupelle of Emerson Drive checking out the new Piccolo Parlor.  You can see this guitar at Artisan Guitars.  Dannick plays a JOM and a OO.

And here I am with my good friend Shirogane Katsutoshi from Full Moon Guitars in Japan.  

And it is always great to hear our friend and Bourgeois endorser Scott Fore play our guitars.  Scott is one of the finest players in the world and we are proud that he loves his Bourgeois guitars.  Check out his Hillbilly HotClub at www.myspace.com/thehillbillyhotclub 

I somehow missed getting a picture of these fine dealers when they stopped by.

We also saw our friend Steve Miklas and his wife Sherie from Acoustic Music Works and Wil  and Julie from Spruce Tree Music in Wisconsin.  We got a nice visit in with Eric & Kelly Martin, Martin Music and  Bryan Wolfe and Trip Wyeth from Connecticut's best music store, Acoustic Music.org.  

Our old friend Mike Fuller from Fuller's Guitars in Texas stopped by with Tony King (Brooks & Dunn).  Tony is loving his Small Jumbo / Mahogany & Adi) .   Nice to see them both!  And I finally got a chance to meet Mike Waldron of Lee Ann Womack's band .  Mike plays a Country Boy .

Thanks for your interest in our guitars.  Support your local music store whenever possible and whatever else seems hard to do, keep playing!
