Fender.com reports:
Alles Gute! The sounds of Fender reverberate from Musikmesse Frankfurt, the massive international musical instrument industry trade show held each year in Frankfurt, Germany.
This year’s show, held March 12th - 15th at the city’s vast Festhalle, was a spectacular success for Fender, with thousands of eager guests attending Fender Frontline Live clinics at Fender’s exclusive hotspot and a special free concert performance by Swedish Stratocaster® guitar virtuoso YNGWIE MALMSTEEN and his band, RISING FORCE. Malmsteen also presented four Frontline Live clinics at the Fender booth and obliged excited fans with not one but four autograph-signing sessions.
Another great Frontline Live performance featured fleet-fingered Fender clinician Greg Koch with a surprise guest, bassist extraordinaire and Fender signature artist Stu Hamm.
Fender’s presence at Musikmesse Frankfurt 2008 also included a dazzling display of guitars, basses, amps and accessories and was highlighted by more than 120 guitars from the world-famous Fender Custom Shop, every prized one of which was claimed by the many international buyers present in less than eight hours!
