Well, my rather messy offline life kind of caught up with me this week, so things have been a bit quiet around here. Never fear, I've got a great new series of guitar reviews beginning next week (Strats, Strats, Strats!,) but in the mean time I wanted to drop a few noteworthy links.

Well, NAMM has come and gone, and I certainly didn’t have time to keep up on all the announcements, so this week I’m going to try to dig out some of the unsung jewels that got overshadowed by the big boys at this year’s conference.
