It seems like every year, one type of guitar stands out. To me, this year, it was Rickenbacker, especially the 12-string models.
There is always a lot of trash on display, and lots of very optimistic prices. You quickly get your fill of $30,000 Teles and Strats. And I have to be honest: More than guitars, I like wood. I saw several examples of fantastic custom guitars in exotic woods. I saw one guy who did fantanstic stuff with exotic woods and inlays, and then built a matching amplifier enclosure.
I DID see a number of old Harmonys and others, including a...Silvertone?...complete with its original case with the built-in amp.
