Jem in SEA FOAM GREEN!  :P

Brings back good memories of my JEM FP77 I had in the early nineties. Served me long time, until I went back to the roots: tele and strat.

No potential purchases for me there, but I do think the Jem looks brilliant in that colour combination!

Is pearloid making a welcome comeback?

I'm sure there will be plenty of other stuff though - step away from the credit card  :wink:

Not formally announced yet, but the non-Private Stock PRS Signature Limited is coming.  200 guitars, 15 for the UK and around £4k for us.  I'm waiting to hear if it has a rosewood neck rather than the mahogany of my PS models.  If it does, I'm in.

^^^^^^ Oh hell yes!

Other than that, the Squier Jim Root Tele looks like a good bid for a "Bash-around-on-tour-and-don't-cry-if-some-shady-eastern-europeans-steal-it" guitar.

If you are into Stars, I thought this was pretty cool, for a Star.

maybe this is the most interesting. looks alot more substantial than current solutions

edit:
I also see Squier is bringing out some 70s flavoured strats, and some with lipstick coils - very cool

I also see there are some interesting DJ and mixer apps for iPad coming out

Where are you guys finding all this info?

Individual manufacturers' sites, or is there a super NAMM news resource somewhere?

Looks okay but still uses the cr@ppy host A to D's though I think.  Unless I'm missing something you could just use an Irig and true bypass box?  Not sure I fancy taking an ipad to gigs though!

I've just got he Apogee Jam, more expensive but sounds great.  Only problem you can't use it with amplitube...

The strats look cool
