As the northeast was riding out the great blizzard this past Saturday I was looking at guitars at the 2016 Orlando Guitar Show. This year's show was missing some familiar faces (e.g., the guys with the BeatBuddy drum machine pedal, Rick Derringer and Warrior Guitars, Drew Berlin, etc.). With NAMM going on in California this week and the Orange County (California) guitar show also scheduled for this weekend, it was (as pointed out by my buddy Eric Ernest of Abalone Vintage Guitars) that "we have guitar shows happening simultaneously at both ends of the country - one near Disney World and one near Disneyland". Combine that with the blizzard north of us and I'd rank this year's Orlando show as just average. BUT... it still is one of my favorite ways to spend an afternoon! Here's some of the pics I took.
