What's new/different at NAMM in 2013? On the guitar side,

ARMADA - Available in Black/Gold opaque, Natural (flame or quilt), Sunburst (flame or quilt), Trans Black Burst (flame or quilt), rosewood fretboard, neck thru, hardtail, 24.75" scale

Reflex - color choices are now Black, White, Pacific Blue Burst, and Tangerine Pearl (gamechanger still limited to black)

Albert Lee HH - color choices are now Black, Trans Walnut, Vintage Sunburst, Candy Red, White, Diego Blue

JP 13 - Platinum Silver, new custom wound DiMarzio pickups with a push-activated preamp, 17" rosewood fretboard, stainless frets, finished neck, piezo, available in both 6 and 7 string models.

L III - Now with an oil/wax roasted maple neck, available in Black & as-yet-unnamed-Blue, HH or HSS

Steve Morse Y2D - Now available in Black Burst (black pickups), Purple Sunset, and Solar Flare (both with purple pickups)

Solar Burst - new color available on BFR Axis, BFR Axis SuperSport, BFR JP 6 & 7, choice of quilt/flame

EB tool kit - gives you ball-end hex keys, branded cutters, metal ruler, multi-driver, etc

EB volume pedal "MVP" - powered VP that can give you a boost or cut, user settings for min/max gain thresholds

EB glow-in-the-dark picks

M- Steel guitar strings - maraging steel plain strings with maraging steel core and cobalt windings for the wound strings. M-steel has a significantly greater tensile strength than plain steel (break resistant strings!) and also gives a higher output and fuller sound because of its properties. Night & Day difference going A/B with plain steel and m-steel .

Power Peg PRO - black, rechargeable, improved torque

Thanks Pete!!! Everything looks so damn good. I think this is one of the best EBMM NAMM shows yet! Cant wait to see more especially the new LIII in blue and roasted neck.

Also, any chance there is a blackburst Y2D somewhere in there? Is that Y2D standard Purple Sunset? Looks like it but a bit different. Really need to get me another Ball with a trem SOOOON!!!!

Awesome, thank you for the pictures! I would love to see more of the JP13, as well as the mentioned BFR neckplate.

Also, not to be a pain in the butt, but it would be amazing if you could take a little bit to make your way over to Sterling by Music Man and get some shots of the new JP70s! :D

That Y2D looks stunning! I bet is the new color MM introduced...looks familiar to the PDN!
