NAMM 2017: The weird and wonderful at the boutique guitars showcase - in pictures

Malinoski Guitars

NAMM 2017: This year, NAMM has provided one central showcase for smaller, more 'independent minded' luthiers to showcase their wares.

The results, happily, are as idiosyncratic, beautiful and occasionally startling as you you'd hope.

Here then, are our own personal faves from the many guitars on display, kicking off with the interestingly furry Malinoski Guitars...
