NAMM 2007!
What a great show it was for Carruthers Guitars!
Everyone on the who's who (and then some) stopped by. We practically sold
out our booth! Thank you to all who helped us get there, stay there, and
continue for us to provide the greatest guitars available.
| Wednesday - Setup Day for Caruthers
Guitars Early morning Wednesday. It's cold - but not for long. Hauling all the guitars, racks, amps and other items into the truck tends to warm up the old bones quickly. We took John's 454-cubic-inch Chevy Beast so we could haul everything in one shot. It was a long day, BUT Rick had lots of help from Katsutoshi and Fu-Chia, Carruthers Asia dealers. It was a long day, and upon returning to the shop it got a little longer. |
| Thursday - The First Day
of the Show The first day was a smash hit. We had folks from the Buffalo Brothers, Guitar Center, Steward-MacDonald and other stores stop in to see what was the “haps” with our incredible guitars. John Carruthers’ deep roots in the music industry had many big perfor mers drop in - Bob Bain (23 years on the Tonight Show, theme songs for tv shows, et. al.), Jim Fox (Frank Sinatra Jr., et. al.), Pat Kane (a new talent with an old soul playing blues like an experienced blues man), Byl Carruthers (Cafe R&B), Billy Yates (The Outlaws, Venice Amplifiers), Bob Ryan (Buffalo Brothers), and of course Trevor Lindsey who is the top bass session player anywhere. Bill Lawrence was our neighbor and hung out with us as well! Check out the pics and enjoy the action! |
| Friday More music, more dealers, and more action. Things were heating up in our booth, with Jody Fisher returning. Well, here are the pics! |
| Saturday Jody Fisher returns. So does Billy Yates, and a host of other people. More dealers are interested. Here we go! Check out the pics. |
| Sunday The gods of digital systems have taken these pictures from us. Lee Ritenour stopped by, McCabe's Music said hello and checked out our instruments, and more. BUT - no pix. Sorry! |
