PG editors Shawn Hammond, Charles Saufley, and Rich Osweiler pick their favorites from the last day of the show. See everything we saw in our Day 4 photo gallery.

Gibson 12-string ES-335
Among the many awesome new, period-correct instruments from Gibson Memphis—including several 1959- and 1963-centric semi-hollowbodies—is this fantastic 12-string ES-335 outfitted with Burstbucker 1 (neck) and Burstbucker 2 (bridge) pickups.

Andrew White Gypsy Jazz-E
West Virginia acoustic builder Andrew White Guitars brought a whole line of impressive guitars to NAMM. His all-solid import flattops were impressive at less than $1,200, but the Gypsy Jazz-E shown here was what had heads turning the most. It features a solid Italian spruce top, solid curly walnut back and sides, a 1-piece mahogany bolt-on neck, and a fretboard and bridge made of ebony.

Caroline Guitar Company Kilobyte
Caroline Guitar Company's new Kilobyte Lo-Fi Delay lets you go from delicious, rockabilly-appropriate analog slapback echo to avant-garde experimentalism—or a little bit of both. Cool features include the ability to add a warm, fuzzy aftertaste to just the repeats, or you can hold down the momentary footswitch (right) to create self-oscillating freak-outs with infinite feedback.

Stenback DI box
Finnish luthier Tom Stenback brought this classy-looking bass DI to NAMM. The Lo and Hi knobs feature switchable contour sliders, and all three EQ bands have sliders for selecting the range of the knob—45-80 Hz for Lo, 400-800 Hz for Mid, and 3.5-6.5 kHz for Hi.

Why didn't anyone cover Egnater Detroit 18 which has all the features anyone could ever wanted from a mini/lunchbox amp?

Obviously Gibson didn't learn a thing. From the last time. They made a12 string 335. No one bought them 30 years ago why would they today? Especially since Gibson cant seem to find tuners that don't slip. Hope you have a roadie to tune the damn thing.

Got a chance to play a few of Andrew White's guitars as well as hear the Kilobyte at the show. I can concur that both were exceptionally cool...

Did you guys cover the new GJ2 Glendora? I saw announcements about it before the show, but nothing after. Looks like a great guitar!
