Brian Swerdfeger sent pics from NAMM!
« on: January 16, 2012, 05:47:23 PM »
Taylor's own, Brian Swerdfeger, who has been so gracious to our little community, asked me if we might be interested in getting/posting pictures from him of Taylor's display/setup from NAMM...I said "YES!!!"    ;D  ;D  ;D

This topic will be set up as a "sticky" topic, and I'll post the pictures when I get them from Brian. 

Once again, we just want to thank Brian for his generosity!!!

Very cool indeed. Josh, you might want to start a thread where other members can post their NAMM photos. There will be lots to see this year.

Yes, that is Glen.

There are nine of us here today, and there will be another 20+ coming in tomorrow. By Wednesday we will be 50 strong.

The truss, curtains and lighting went in on Friday. Today we did the perimeter walls in the main room, truss and suspended walls in the meeting room, hanging graphics, built the stage and prep'd for tomorrow.

Now we are headed to Lucille's Smokehouse for some BBQ - yum!

looks like he's been working out ... looking good, buddy :)

i met Glen over at a RoadShow at Musician's Workshop in Asheville in 07 -
he looked over a 89 710 for me & i believe our group was either
the 1st or 2nd to view the SB prototypes in our area ... fun times :D

enjoy the Q ... thanks for sharing the pics & fielding the questions, B ;D

Cindy stole my comment! Can somebody tell me how to complain to a moderator?  ;D

Thanks, Brian. Looking forward to more. Wish I could be there!
