This year’s Winter NAMM was nothing but a great success for True Temperament. Acceptance for what many prominent guitarists and connoisseurs call the greatest innovation in guitar in hundreds of years is growing ever stronger. The world premiere of Strandberg Guitars five TT models was a high light which attracted tremendous attention among the visitors. Further evidence was all fruitful meetings the TT-team had during the exhibition days with some of the most influential and biggest guitar brands on the market.
There were also very inspiring and nice meetings with many artists. Among them: Nuno Bettencourt, Per Nilsson, Steve Lukather, Andy Timmons, Steve Morse and Henrik Linder who all pay tribute to TT. Judging by all this, 2020 will be a very exciting and rewarding year for True Temperament.
Here is a brief photo report from this year’s fair:
