My top picks for Winter NAMM 2012

Thursday, January 26th, 2012

Like many other musicians I look forward to seeing what new products are announced when Winter NAMM comes around each year. Last year I spent some time posting quite a few new products that caught my eye. This year I didn’t really have the time to post about them as it was a flat out week on the home front with my wife’s and my son’s birthdays all within the days that NAMM was on. Now that NAMM is over I thought that I might write a post covering the new products that excited me the most this year. So lets get started: (more…)

Cool new gear: Dunlop Ultex Jazz III 2.0

The new Dunlop Jazz III 2.0

I love pointy picks, the Jim Dunlop Jazz III and Jazz III XLs in black have been my main pick for several years now. I also fell in love with the new Hetfield Black Fangs after reviewing them recently. the Ultex material on the Black Fangs provided a nice sharp cutting tone, and I love the shape and thickness of the black Jazz III XLs.

Jim Dunlop’s NAMM announcement of the new Ultex Jazz III 2.0 makes me very excited. It’s a combination of the things I loved about the Jazz III black, and the Black Fangs.

They have brought over a bunch of the Japanese staff and supervisors to train up the Indonesian factory workers to build guitars up to the Prestige Japanese standards, and some of the Japanese staff have stayed on too.

This is what Ibanez have to say about the RG Premium line: (more…)
