[Af1fe]

I have been searching for some TAG information from NAMM. Nada. Snowed in @ South Carolina.

[GASMAN]

Trying so hard to remain patient. I'm really trying.

[lizhuoru]

In TAG Facebook page, we can see the new Guardian Angel. It looks great to me.

Not seeing anything resembling a Bobcat.

Yeah... what up with that...

I have to say that the Superbird Raven is the only one of those offsets that even interests me. Lots of Cobra vibe in that. That would be pretty bawss...

[Pietro]

cool guitar!

[gibson5413]

The neck on the GA is awesome! Sean Ashe told me it is a new neck option called caramel maple. A couple of my TAGs have the vintage tint maple. The caramel looks to be in between the vintage tint and chocolate maple. Love it!!

[GDane1]

That thing is HOT!! Looks like a satin finish also.

Wow. I remember when even mentioning 24 frets was met with possible suspension on this forum!!!

24 frets in a very classic design with modern features/playability. I dig it!

[BFC]

Nice looking guitar. Sad to say tho that I don't even use the 22 frets I currently have available to me. :D

[lizhuoru]

TAG's Japan dealer also has a blog article on NAMM 2016 with some nice photos.

This made me laugh...because it is so true!

[brokenvail]

That caramel neck had no dots on it huh?

Looks like a satin gold Icon there. Pretty cool.

[Briggs]

Awesome pics Stys!! Thanks for sharing!

[Stys]

Awesome pics Stys!! Thanks for sharing!

I cannot take credit for the pictures. A friend of mine took them and I simply posted.

[Daenius]

That blue Drop Top!!! I need more info!

[brokenvail]

I have such a spot for Mongrels!! and that red raven!!! If it is alder, short scale and has a larger neck (the bigger the better) Tom can you pls just ship it to me?

[tom]

will have to figure an easy way to post specs. still recovering at this point. roy went home sick which has never happened in 30 years of doing this.

it was very fun to have sean and theo play in the booth. they are both remarkable young men whose playing is equaled by their sweet personalities. i could not ask for a nicer pair of folks to call friends.

[Sean Ashe]

Aw shucks Tom, you always say the absolute nicest things. Love you man. It was truly an honor to play, looking forward to doing it again next year.

And yes the Guardian Angel RULES! I walked up to the booth and Mike handed mine to me. I felt like being a kid on Christmas. In fact Mike said "happy christmas" when he handed it to me. Actually.. is Tom actually Santa Claus? hmm..

I'll be posting mine soon, mine is a Guardian Angel player in Ocean Turquoise. It's currently at the shop since I didn't want the fate of my new baby to be decided by a packed plane and non instrument loving employees (at the airport). I think Roy will be taking some photos of it and then I'll post in here. Alder body with the new tasty caramel maple neck, and then my usual HSH setup with the HF2, SC2, and HF1. Though, I may order another pickguard with all singles too, or maybe just a humbucker in the bridge.

it's the absolute classiest looking 24 fret guitar on the earth, in my opinion. It looks so 'right' too. But really, could we be surprised since it has an A on the headstock?

[wolf]

I love the salmon Icon... pure Knopfler.

What are those guitar stands you're using ?

[BFC]

The pics of the Icon Classic in Egyptian Gold Satin convinced me I want an Icon. I wasn't that interested initially but that one grabbed me.

[Chuckracer]

Gas-inducing pictures for sure. I'm all about the blue quilt Cobra S...someday!

It ain't easy being us, Tom - your slavishly-drooling fans!

[tom]

sorry for all the mental anguish we cause.

the stands are from D&A, the old rks guys. they are pretty darn sturdy, lots of legs!

[dsouza.b.a]

I saw the video on your facebook page but that must have been from a past NAMM as there were bulldogs galore and the stands were Quiklok.

[Chuckracer]

Where's that Cobra S headed? :cool:

[tom]

brians guitars in CT.

[Manning]

These stands look great Tom, I am going to get one of them!

[Chuckracer]

Comin this way, huh? :cool:

[brokenvail]

Never seen a stand like that before

[tom]

they are relatively new. he spread them around the namm floor pretty good.

[Sean Ashe]

Here's a video of some of my performance on Friday of NAMM :) Cant express how much of an honor it was to play at the booth this year, too fun!

Also rocking my new Guardian Angel player :D

[GASMAN]

That's fantastic Sean. Great playing.

[brokenvail]

I can not get over how beautiful that guitar is. Also are you using the JP2c?

[Manning]

Going for a new look I see. I almost did not recognize you!

[Sean Ashe]

That's the Mark v35, great amp! not tried the JP2c yet. I kind of hope I don't like it because it's 1k more than the v35 haha

[Sean Ashe]

haha! I've had this going on since last year actually but haven't been too active with videos .. been busy doing the album :o It's nice to not look 14 all the time haha :D

[gibson5413]

Sean is the man!! What a great clip this is!

[Manning]

haha! I've had this going on since last year actually but haven't been too active with videos .. been busy doing the album :o It's nice to not look 14 all the time haha :D
Looking younger than you actually are, it's both a blessing and a curse.;)

[liquidshadow]

GREAT playing, Sean! I think now I want a Guardian Angel Player :rolleyes:
What wiring do you have on yours?

[Sean Ashe]

Thanks! :) I think its the 5 way with splits, but you'd have to ask Roy.
