Many thanks for stopping by again. One of the very few growing youtubers to even glance at a small maker like myself. Real sees real. Genuine coverage. The best.
You’ve got some killer guitars. Thanks to KDH, I’m probably going to look at your guitars instead of fender when I get ready for my next big guitar purchase. Very nice specs.
Just wanted to say that I found your guitars to be _very_ cool. In an industry where it's increasingly difficult to do something that stands out, your guitars certainly stood out in a big way to me. The 7 string Vertis (I hope that's spelled right?) model with the green ceramic coated hardware you featured here was fantastic but so were the rest of the models you had on display. I particularly like the one on the end, the "single cut" one with the brown/wood grain finish. Excellent stuff and I wish you steady, continued growth and success.
Yeah the rubber sleeve fell off when he picked the guitar up and they both looked at it fall! I think KDH panicked more that the Cream guy! 😂 It was a good job it was the owner imagine if a random person did it!
If it's indeed the Death Warrior then I've only seen one orange version: a seven string, single pickup one from '99. And then they did a Death Kelly in '08 I think, but that has the horn chopped the other way at the tip and it had a natural flamed top. To be honest, the Ormsby Metal has a LOT in common with the Jackson Warrior, the main difference is that the Ormsby doesn't have that upper horn nub, and the main horn is more rounded off. And yeah, the Death Warrior similarly gets rid of the upper horn, and maybe that guy DID take that with him from his unfinished Ormsby deal. But really, it's not that big of a change compared to the original Warrior, which came out all the way back in 1990, to widespread "meh".
Badass seeing you play with Dovydas. Him leading the charge to defend your channel was how I even found it. Max rockin' the MGK Razor was a nice touch 🤣
I totally agree. I like the guitars and basses. But don't like some parts of the design. Like the headstocks. 4:2 or 3:1 Tuners would be cool. On the other hand they have very cool headstocks for the acoustics and semi-acoustics. On one single-cut solid body they put the Tuners more and more in the middle for the inner strings. It was so good for the tuning stability.
@@quickwashtheraccoon7601 ya true guess they are trying to be a bit different. Build quality on the beginner stuff is great though. A few of my students have them
You find the most interesting vendors. You let them talk without interruption. You hold the camera steady without nauseating jump cuts. You leave when it’s noisy. You keep it short and sweet. And the video gods reward you with a legendary Guitar Ninja save! This is the best NAMM coverage I’ve seen.
Thinking of what you said about the Chapman British line and how it's hard to try to make a premium line when your guitars are known for being affordable. Like the pacifica being very much known for being a cheap guitar and even though these new more premium guitars look good, you will still think of them as cheap.
nice to see Tommy from G7th, one of the best customer relation I have got to date from a company. The pad broke on my G7th Performance 3, emailed Tom about it, 2 weeks later a replacement was in the mail, free of charge. Amazing!
Very cool. Everything featured here was interesting but I was particularly intrigued by the Dean Gordon guitars. With the Marconilab model being the next most interesting imo. Although those stood out to me, I found the Lowden electrics to be very classy looking guitars that I could see a lot of players falling in love with and playing one or the other as their main axe for a lifetime. I also think the Yamaha Pacifica guitars nailed what the Yamaha rep stated was the intention behind the guitars to be kind of a working class session player's main, versatile "do it all" guitar. I'm also keen to hear the pickups in them but to be completely honest, if my understanding of the situation is correct (and if I'm wrong, feel free to tell me and I'll be the first to apologize) then I felt the way in which he described them was misleading. The Yamaha rep's statement being "the pickups were a collaboration with _Rupert Neve_ (his emphasis). So the famous Rupert Neve from the pro audio and recording world..." From what I understand the pickups were designed in conjunction with the "Rupert Neve Designs" _company,_ not Mr. Neve himself and were designed _after_ Mr. Neve had passed away. So unless the Yamaha rep himself misunderstood the situation, which frankly and respectfully - I doubt, his statements would seem willfully misleading. I mean yea, it's not diabolically nefarious but a bit distasteful nonetheless if in fact I'm not mistaken. Which again, if I am, I'll certainly edit/retract/apologize. I'm fairly certain though that the last collaborative project Mr. Neve worked on directly before his passing in February of 2021 was the line of condenser and ribbon microphones for the "sE Electronics" company which bare his name and initials.
i've been playing bass since around 1993, I love what they are doing with modern fretboards, and im not just talking materials and colors, the inlays and illumination and all that jazz. oh i feel bad for the guy who had to use the machine kelly guitar
All of these guitars and companies are really interesting and it's really fun to see how passionate they are about their designs and products. Great job!
Great Video. The opening with Ormsby impressed me a lot(as has your Blue Ormsby), so I went on their site, and I got one of the NAMM models of the Goliath. I can't wait to get my hands on it. You made the sale happen definitely, should hit Ormsby up for your commission!
The Cream guitar guy is so fucking sweet!! I love his excitement, he's doing a lot of good things with designs, innovation and supporting local stores.
been watching for 2 minutes, already my favorite Namm footage this year I’m worried KDH is gonna get his hair wound up in a stage fan though. Or maybe a fist fight with Bill Gates and The Guitoligist 🎉
Dean Gordons look interesting. Also those MarconiLab guitars look like they could offer something different to players I will be looking for more INFO on them.
Those Marconilab guitars are the most original guitar build I've ever seen. Whether all that tech makes for a better sound, who knows. Seems to me the electric guitar sound was perfected in '56.
I once had a telecaster fall off a guitar stand and bounce off my at the time laminate floor. I picked up my guitar expecting the worse. I examined every inch of the guitar and by some miracle there was not a mark on it. 👽
0:31 Perry Ormsby is an absolute legend ! I build guitars as a hobby so naturally I am in a bunch of guitar builders groups/forums etc The guy must be flat out running his business but you wouldn’t know because he’s still incredibly generous with his time. He’s genuinely a good human who happens to make some of the best modern guitars available anywhere on the 🌍
I’d love to see some interesting picks like the cool ones you had in one of your videos awhile back. I’m about 20 minutes from where the show is I wish I had time to get lit with you guys!! Enjoy the show!!👊🏽🎸
The last time I went to namm was many years ago,, so in response to your "rockstar" thing, I wore a suit and tie , with converse All-stars and my long hair, I wear glasses so I probably looked more like an eccentric than a rock star
You can get a fantastic double oh shit look if you watch 15:15-15:15 on 0.25 and get ready with the space bar. What a catch bro, even if it was a bass.
Love those Cream guitars, Ive built a few guitars over the years and this has given me inspiration to try a resin top mabye with a Dublin jersey type theme
Andy's the man - I keep telling people that that guy is the after party king! Rule #1 of trade shows: find the guy with the corporate card and the ability to use it. Sure it's anecdotal but I worked at Intel for 15 years supporting trade show demos and you gotta know the best stuff happens *off* the floor
Wisdom: Double braids for a functional and fashionable , guitar friendly hair style. I think your live noodling would prosper immensely. Hey, I've got long hair as well, and I must admit that I lie to myself when my frock covers up the finger board, causing me split second changes and alterations of what I'm playing, and not necessarily in a good way.
Lots of technological innovations in the Marconi guitar but the problem I see is the close spacing of the 2 pickups and the fact the neck pickup is in the picking plane. Good luck to them though.
Many thanks for stopping by again. One of the very few growing youtubers to even glance at a small maker like myself. Real sees real. Genuine coverage. The best.
I could see Prince and other r&b artists having you make signature models for them as well...

I agree your instruments really stand out - liking what you're doing. Keep doing it :)
You are making some crazy instruments man. I heard Nick from Axe Palace demo some of your stuff - HUGE guitar sounds.
15:12 That man has got reflexes!! Incredible how calm he was, it's just that ninja training kicking in (no pun intended, or?).
Dude has reflexes, wit AND charisma no wonder Vai worked with them
Yeah the rubber sleeve fell off when he picked the guitar up and they both looked at it fall! I think KDH panicked more that the Cream guy! 😂 It was a good job it was the owner imagine if a random person did it!
Great stuff!
And that, my friends, is why you need Hercules stands
@@S-T-E-V-Ethats the CEO of the company. Luis Ortiz
@KDH THANK YOU for not talking over any of the presenters and letting them say what they wanted to say. Very respectful.
For anybody wondering about the "stolen" design for the Ormsby Metal X 1:58, it is a Jackson USA Custom Shop called a Death Warrior.
I always thought about that..
Perry is a lot more gracious than I might’ve been in that situation.
If it's indeed the Death Warrior then I've only seen one orange version: a seven string, single pickup one from '99. And then they did a Death Kelly in '08 I think, but that has the horn chopped the other way at the tip and it had a natural flamed top.

But really, it's not that big of a change compared to the original Warrior, which came out all the way back in 1990, to widespread "meh".
For the last few years Cream Guitars have just lit me up. Amazing people. Viva Mexico! Looking forward to trying one when they hit the UK.
that very first button guitar was out of this world gorgeous.
At 15:16 one of the most impressive things at NAMM 2024!!!
omg i almost died inside when that bass fell from the wall hanger. I'm so glad that he was able to pick it up
This is my favourite NAMM coverage on TH-cam. You're doing a great job.
💯💯💯
Right on!
100%..much more interesting to see the more unusual and unique guitar builders out there.
Mr. Ormsby is such a good dude that I want to buy his guitars. For real. Everytime I see him talk he seems like the guy you can trust
Eh he's not squeaky clean but he's mostly okay as far as builders go.
No big scams or anything.
Badass seeing you play with Dovydas. Him leading the charge to defend your channel was how I even found it. Max rockin' the MGK Razor was a nice touch 🤣
Yamaha killin it as always. One of the most underrated brands. They even gave the guitar the IRA treatment 😅

Killing it was always...
What?
Go back to middle school.

Guitar NINJA!!! Well done!!!
Guilio Negrini makes phenomenal instruments!

Problem with the Yamahas is the price point for 1k cheaper you can get a Vola or FGN both also made in Japan
One of the best recorded catches in history!
That was legit some ninja movement. Excellent catch, bro. Good stuff.
nice to see Tommy from G7th, one of the best customer relation I have got to date from a company. The pad broke on my G7th Performance 3, emailed Tom about it, 2 weeks later a replacement was in the mail, free of charge. Amazing!
You’re kind to say mate, thanks! And you’re welcome 😉
The NAMM theme rules of course! Always a great sense of humour! Get home safe !

Those Cream guitars are awesome and the builder is so enthusiastic. Great to see something unique
Cream guitars look really nice, this is the best coverage series, thanks!
All of these guitars and companies are really interesting and it's really fun to see how passionate they are about their designs and products. Great job!
Looking forward to the full Ormsby vid!
Really hoping for a follow-up to last year's Rob Chapman encounter, but this time awkwardly crossing paths with Lee Anderton.
Great Video. The opening with Ormsby impressed me a lot(as has your Blue Ormsby), so I went on their site, and I got one of the NAMM models of the Goliath. I can't wait to get my hands on it. You made the sale happen definitely, should hit Ormsby up for your commission!
if somehow KDH sees this, please stop by Ormsby and sign the blue Goliath going to San Francisco :D Éire go Brách
The Lowden look excellent !
The Cream guitar guy is so fucking sweet!! I love his excitement, he's doing a lot of good things with designs, innovation and supporting local stores.
Thanks for including the G7th snippet, massively appreciated! :)
Tommy, G7th Capos
Dean Gordon guitars are amazing, would love to see you check one out in a video!
Love that g7th capo. Johnny Marr uses them too.
Thanks! And he sure does :)
"I'm seeing lots off cool stuff.... Namm...." had me in stiches. lol :)
CREAM GUITARS with the save !!!
\m/ Dean Gordon \m/
WOW cream guitars shows how tune a bass in Drop D ... , great work by the way KDH, very informative and done with respect 🤘, it coloured my week-end .
Nice to see you playing along with Dovydas!
been watching for 2 minutes,
already my favorite Namm footage this year I’m worried KDH is gonna get his hair wound up in a stage fan though.
Or maybe a fist fight with Bill Gates and The Guitoligist 🎉
Dean Gordons look interesting. Also those MarconiLab guitars look like they could offer something different to players I will be looking for more INFO on them.
damn nice save on that cream guitar. gorgeous guitars
exceptional design on Marconilab guitar.. wonder how it sounds
It was fun seeing all these guitar brands I had never heard of. I saw some guitars I was really interested in.
Important points made by Cream Guitars about family run businesses. Nice guy!
The Marconilab guitars look amazing, the whole video is really entertaining and informative. Gr8😊
Love those Cream guitars!
Those Marconilab guitars are the most original guitar build I've ever seen. Whether all that tech makes for a better sound, who knows. Seems to me the electric guitar sound was perfected in '56.
Yes, you hit Jack in The Box again!! 🤘🏻🎸❤️🔥
The bloke from Cream Guitars just makes me smile. I want one of his guitars just for that 😎
I was at the creators party and you did some great improvisation dude! Keep shredding!
I once had a telecaster fall off a guitar stand and bounce off my at the time laminate floor. I picked up my guitar expecting the worse. I examined every inch of the guitar and by some miracle there was not a mark on it. 👽
1:55 Why would you put lemon oil on an epoxy board? Lemon oil is for open grain, porous woods like rosewood. Wipe on, wipe off.
0:31 Perry Ormsby is an absolute legend ! I build guitars as a hobby so naturally I am in a bunch of guitar builders groups/forums etc

Truss Rod adjustment *between* songs? 7:51 Super fantastic!
Thanks for all the info on guitars I would’ve normally walked straight past.
Gotta say, i love those Cream Guitar designs.
Cream guitars is so frickin cool man. Wouldn't know about then without you and I'm working towards one soon.
Two things I'd love to see are the Xolo Custom Guitars booth and the Oz Guitarworks booth, pretty please?
I really enjoyed this. That's how to do a Namm video. Great job guys
Cool, Tnx for posting these. Always wanted to attend NAMM 🎶🎸🤘
The greatest coverage for those of us stuck at home! Thanks KDH
That Marconi Lab guitar was insane!
P.S. no disrespect to Dovy but your tone was way more better😊
I have a g7th capo it is awesome does a great job yrs later
Great to hear! Tommy G7th :)
Day 2. Look at that beautiful California weather.
Its been shit up to this point. I think KDH Thorred it in his favour
That Italian guitar - Eco? Amazing. I'm not a big fan of non-traditional looking guitars but that thing looks awesome.
"36 Subs represent!" Loved that ending
Marconilab guitar is one of the coolest I've ever seen.
The Marconilab stuff looks pretty wild! Innovative, Futuristic, weird! I'd happily wield the one he was holding at first! Super cool
thank you for these videos, as i doubt ill ever get the chance to go to NAMM i love being able to feel like i'm there! :)
Cream guy has quick hands. Dude rocks
Love it. But needs more Glen, please.
Okay, that button gitter is sick.
Good to see Tommy from g7 !!
Thanks mate!
Good to see Perry on there! An old friend from WA out there killing it 🙌🏻
The skull with the sunset or rise in the background is sick love that guitar !
15:15 that's a nice catch!!!
I’d love to see some interesting picks like the cool ones you had in one of your videos awhile back. I’m about 20 minutes from where the show is I wish I had time to get lit with you guys!! Enjoy the show!!👊🏽🎸
Great coverage. Let's the makers share what they have without interruption. Others should take note.

That pink Pacifica looks beautiful.
Thanks for NAMMseeing❤️
I really dig the vibe of those Kauer guitars. Hope I get to play one someday...
Id like to see the FGN Fujigen booth 🙏🏻 nobody has covered it yet
Ultra-modern guitars aren't my thing, but that carbon fiber Marconilab is pretty damn cool looking, like a Pagani in guitar form.
Any chance you could hit up the Dean booth? So many people are writing them off, it'd be good to see your honest opinion and footage. Great coverage 🤘
You can get a fantastic double oh shit look if you watch 15:15-15:15 on 0.25 and get ready with the space bar. What a catch bro, even if it was a bass.
I love mahogany slabs, long scales, jumbo frets, and humbuckers. Really narrows it down haha.
Love those Cream guitars, Ive built a few guitars over the years and this has given me inspiration to try a resin top mabye with a Dublin jersey type theme
The lowden 335 looks cool!
Good stuff, Man. Great coverage. 🤘
Creme guitars just hooked me with that statement support your local music stores
I really like the Yamaha Pacifica Professional.
Some of those Cream guitars are very cool looking.. Also, unique new shape body that I dont mind.

Yamaha's super Tele from the 90s is one of my all time fav guitars
At 15:12 his Spidey Sense was tingling.
I spotted rocknroll Guy Fieri at 17:38 😂😂😂
Those Marconilab guitars are badass!
