For the sake of any desert rats or people near Arizona I wanted to mention that the Tempe Guitar Show (http://www.tempeguitarshow.com/) is coming up in three weeks. It's sponsored by Jensen speakers and a lot of great vendors will be present. Fender is going to be there and I personally invited Joe Carducci so that's at least a real possibility. Any Gretsch-Talkers in the region might want to drop by and make our presence known.
