We begin here, at the Anaheim Convention Center. Contained within these walls are thousands of exhibitors from the Musical Instrument Retail Industry. The size of multiple football fields, it is a haven for industry personnel & gear enthusiasts alike, who will get a chance to see the latest & greatest from all the manufacturers. The warm weather & swaying palm trees add to the charm of this annual Winter event.
To the bottom left of this picture, you will notice Egnater's soon to be released 'Tweaker' all-tube rigs. We received the 411 on this line, and were impressed with its versatility, styling, & price-point.
