Editor's Note

What we learned from NAMM 2022

NAMM 2022 has officially come to a close. It was certainly a more scaled-down affair than the last West Coast NAMM – the star-studded, blockbuster-scale January 2020 show – but there was still plenty of eye-catching new gear to go 'round.

Now that everyone from our intrepid GW team has made the long trek home to the East Coast or U.K., we've had some time to reflect on the show that was.

Here then, are our 10 biggest takeaways from NAMM 2022 – the stuff that grabbed the headlines, weirded us out, or just plain made us think. If you weren't following along with the show over the weekend, it's a perfect primer that covers all that went down at this year's edition of the world's biggest guitar gear show.
