Hipshot has offered to display at least one of my guitars at their booth in 2009! For a little guy like me, that is really big... They have been so good to me and they are located only 1.75 hours' drive from me, so I may just build them one special with whatever hardware they want me to employ. I have used their stuff in virtually all of my guitars, so it is an excellent fit for me. To you veterans, this may not mean much, but to a little guy just trying to get a break, this means a lot.
I had 3 guitars out there in my room, but I could not really announce that fact or actively invite demos as I was a non-exhibiting manufacturer. So close and yet so far... When your guitars are as different as mine are and you do not have a reputation to draw customers, you really have to work 10x as hard just to get people to strap them on and give them a fair shot. This kind of gives me some hope. Sorry about the ramble... I am just so jazzed right now I had to let some of it out! :)
