LIMS 09: essential day one highlights

Welcome to the London International Music Show 2009! It’s day one, and we’ve already transformed from what can only be described as ‘organised chaos’ into the shining example of an exhibitor stand you can see on the left…

We’ve tirelessly traversed our first few laps of the show floor (we only stopped to jam for a moment, honest) checking out the very finest in new product along the way. The spoils of which are after the jump… now, another lap. Before the likes of Steve Vai and Nicko McBrain (and the hoards of Iron Maiden fans) turn up for the weekend!

Promising ‘the best quality of any interface at its £250 price point’, it’s a 16-in/8-out box that also sports MIDI I/O

The Space Trainer
A blissfully simple tuition aid for beginner guitarists: a clip-on frame guides your fretting hand to the right position from the off. Finally!
