NAMM 2020 Day 1 Gallery

Dunlop Octavio

We started the day at Jim Dunlop and checked out their new octave fuzz, the Octavio. Hitting a note above the 10th fret creates some wicked overtones and Hendrix-style riffs come alive when the fuzz is cranked. Available now for $129. Quite the deal.

Revv Amplification G20

Revv Amplification continues with their lunchbox series with the G20, which uses the purple channel of their flagship Generator amp. It comes with the same Two Notes Audio Engineering technology as the D20, has piles of gain, and uses a special “widening” technology to make your tones sound even bigger.

Gibson Leo Scala Masterbuilt

Check out the rad new Leo Scala Masterbuilt Aged Golden V from Gibson Artist Collection at NAMM.

Gibson Ho’ Omaha

Here’s another cool one from Gibson's NAMM ranch. This one’s called the “Ho’ Omaha” Carved Art Les Paul from the Custom Art Collection.

Boss Metal Zone MT-2W

Just crank it up. I’m sure it will be fine.

Jackson Audio Golden Boy

Jackson Audio and slide wizard Joey Landreth teamed up for the Golden Boy. It builds upon the framework of the company’s Broken Arrow, but instead of a Screamer-based circuit it uses a King of Tone for inspiration. Four different flavors of dirt, four flavors of boost, MIDI, gain cycling, and more. It will street for around $299.

Paoletti Guitars signature model

Guns N’ Roses Richard Fortus gave us the downlow at Winter NAMM on his new Paoletti Guitars signature model, made in Florence, Italy with wood from 150-year-old wine casks. It’s got a P-90 and a single coil made to Fortus’ specs, a reverse headstock to improve intonation and resonance, and a leather top that takes some brightness off the wood for a warm, woolly tone. It ain’t cheap, at $3995, but it’s killer!

Fender Mustang LT50

Fender’s super affordable Mustang LT50—debuting at Winter NAMM— is a great way for learning guitarists to come up the curve on tone crafting and sonic exploration. It’s got a well of 30 preset tones that can be tweaked with a deep well of effects from a laptop, mated with 50 watts and a 1x12 speaker that’s plenty loud for home, practice space or small stage use. The tag is $249... less than buying a pair of (most) quality stompboxes.

Gibson Les Paul Special

The classic Gibson Les Paul Special is getting the royal reissue treatment at NAMM, with P-90 and humbucking configurations.

Gibson Les Paul Special

The classic Gibson Les Paul Special is getting new finishes including worn white and vintage cherry—although the run is based on a historic TV yellow model. And it's priced at $999.

Fender Acoustasonic Stratocater

Following the success of Fender's Acoustasonic Telecaster, the company has debuted the Acoustasonic Stratocater at Winter NAMM. It offers a different array of tones, including classic and dirty Strat sounds and a rich, percussive dreadnought voice, for a tag of $1,999.
