So, was that true for the boobies, too? :bawling:

I went looking for it after the other images surfaced. I figured it was announced and out there for public consumption. When I was taken to the back room, I had to wait for two guys to get out of the way. They were photographing the guitar. Given the photos that were out there and the guys in front of me, it didn't even cross my mind that it would be an issue to snap some photos. I was more than a little embarrassed to learn (when I returned Jack's call) that the piece of paper on the wall next to Vela (which I didn't read) said something about not taking photos.
On one hand, everyone knows that you're not going to bring a guitar to NAMM and keep it a secret for more than an hour or two. Furthermore, as soon as dealers get a copy, they're going to start sharing photos with their usual buyers - so I don't feel responsible for outing the Vela or the Alex SE. That said, NAMM is not for the consumers (like me). It is a place for wholesalers to meet with retailers. When I come to NAMM, I try to remember that and stay out of the way. I feel badly that I played a part, however large or small, in disrupting that interaction.
That makes more sense. If they didn't want anyone to find out about it, the guitar never would've been there. Still, if it were that important - there seemingly would be a bigger sign saying no pics. I still believe PRS wanted to gauge reaction without "going public" with the new guitar. Companies do it all the time. Nothin' wrong with that.

Completely agree with you on this Vaughn. I would think PRS would want to take advantage of the buzz this is creating, but it isn't my company.
PRS Vela fight club...the first rule is to not talk about Vela....the 2nd rule is we don't talk about Vela.
