Saturday, January 22, 2005, day three of the 2005 Winter NAMM Show. The only complaint about this year's NAMM show is that it won't go on long enough to take in all the sights and sounds available. Third day at the show and it seems we've just scratched the surface. Celebrities are out in force today and every booth is alive with non-stop action.

Below are a few of the highligts of the day's events.

Additional NAMM coverage: Spotlight on Gibson; Spotlight on PRS; Spotlight on Daisy Rock Guitars; Spotlight on Atomic Amps.
