Just in the door a few minutes ago.
First surprise: Calton is normally right by the entrance I come in but to my surprise, they're not at the show so won't be able to visit with anyone about their new cases.
First stop after that is the Weber booth and it appears the two new models just sold. I will likely be able to confirm who that is later but got to play both and of course they will be there the rest of the show. The Redrocks and Pronghorn bothin the neighborhood of $4500 retail which surprised me a bit. I thought possibly $6-7 each. Really nice rounded back sides so super comfortable, gold EVO frets and a neck profile--of course subject--to my liking. Beautiful finish on both that and the Pronghorn.
Redrocks is going to Quality Musical Instruments for All Levels in Port Townsend. Pronghrn is going to The Mandolin Store.
New model that didn't make the most recent news release: Road Dog "F" with F-Holes, a real bluegrass sounding model to these ears, also in the $4,500 price range but don't quote me on that. This from Ryan.
May not have more pictures for a few hours but will work towards that goal. Meanwhile wanted to get this thread in place in case anyone else is here .
