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.
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!
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!
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
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.
The problem is Yamahas is they don't have mid range guitars. It's either budget guitars or super high end boutique. A great example for that you can see on basses. You can get a cheaper 4 string one, then you start hitting 3k on the BB series and if you want an Attitude, that's doubled in pricing from 3k to 6k.
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.
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!
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 🎉
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 🌍
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.
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.
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. 👽
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
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!!👊🏽🎸
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
Lots of very interesting guitars this year. The art-deco style guitars aren’t my thing, but I can appreciate them for sure. Plus they all look like they’d be amazing to play which is the most important part. and lastly, +1 for Jack in the box. Only thing better than Jack in the box for lunch is Jack in the box at 2am 😂
You know all the booths were like "Oh shit its KDH! Everybody be cool. Dont piss him off, dont look him directly in the eyes, and just let me do the talking.". LOL Good coverage brother..
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.

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...
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.

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.
@KDH THANK YOU for not talking over any of the presenters and letting them say what they wanted to say. Very respectful.
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

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.
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 🤣
This is my favourite NAMM coverage on RUclips. You're doing a great job.
💯💯💯
Right on!
100%..much more interesting to see the more unusual and unique guitar builders out there.
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
Those lowden guitars look beautiful. i love the finish
Guitar NINJA!!! Well done!!!
That was legit some ninja movement. Excellent catch, bro. Good stuff.
One of the best recorded catches in history!
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.
@@CaptainCraigKWMRZ you must have read that wrong

@@stephenmcgrathbass I totally agree
At 15:16 one of the most impressive things at NAMM 2024!!!

The NAMM theme rules of course! Always a great sense of humour! Get home safe !

You’re kind to say mate, thanks! And you’re welcome 😉
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
The problem is Yamahas is they don't have mid range guitars. It's either budget guitars or super high end boutique. A great example for that you can see on basses.

if somehow KDH sees this, please stop by Ormsby and sign the blue Goliath going to San Francisco :D Éire go Brách
Thanks for including the G7th snippet, massively appreciated! :)
Tommy, G7th Capos
Those Cream guitars are awesome and the builder is so enthusiastic. Great to see something unique
Nice to see you playing along with Dovydas!
Dean Gordon guitars are amazing, would love to see you check one out in a video!
It was fun seeing all these guitar brands I had never heard of. I saw some guitars I was really interested in.
I was at the creators party and you did some great improvisation dude! Keep shredding!
The Marconilab guitars look amazing, the whole video is really entertaining and informative. Gr8😊
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 .
The Lowden look excellent !
Important points made by Cream Guitars about family run businesses. Nice guy!
I have a g7th capo it is awesome does a great job yrs later
Great to hear! Tommy G7th :)
The greatest coverage for those of us stuck at home! Thanks KDH
damn nice save on that cream guitar. gorgeous guitars
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 🎉
The bloke from Cream Guitars just makes me smile. I want one of his guitars just for that 😎
Cool, Tnx for posting these. Always wanted to attend NAMM 🎶🎸🤘
I really enjoyed this. That's how to do a Namm video. Great job guys
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

Love that g7th capo. Johnny Marr uses them too.
Thanks! And he sure does :)
Yes, you hit Jack in The Box again!! 🤘🏻🎸❤️🔥
Marconilab guitar is one of the coolest I've ever seen.
CREAM GUITARS with the save !!!
Great coverage. Let's the makers share what they have without interruption. Others should take note.
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! :)
exceptional design on Marconilab guitar.. wonder how it sounds
Love those Cream guitars!
Good to see Tommy from g7 !!
Thanks mate!
Good to see Perry on there! An old friend from WA out there killing it 🙌🏻
Cream guitars is so frickin cool man. Wouldn't know about then without you and I'm working towards one soon.
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.
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.
Gotta say, i love those Cream Guitar designs.
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.
The Marconilab stuff looks pretty wild! Innovative, Futuristic, weird! I'd happily wield the one he was holding at first! Super cool
I really dig the vibe of those Kauer guitars. Hope I get to play one someday...
The skull with the sunset or rise in the background is sick love that guitar !
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. 👽
Thanks for NAMMseeing❤️
Day 2. Look at that beautiful California weather.
Its been shit up to this point. I think KDH Thorred it in his favour
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

great coverage of namm
Truss Rod adjustment *between* songs? 7:51 Super fantastic!
Thanks for all the info on guitars I would’ve normally walked straight past.
Good stuff, Man. Great coverage. 🤘
Two things I'd love to see are the Xolo Custom Guitars booth and the Oz Guitarworks booth, pretty please?
Awesome man have fun!:D
Yamaha's super Tele from the 90s is one of my all time fav guitars
Hope to see you around. The event is so massive, I barely run into my friends even after trying to find them.
I love mahogany slabs, long scales, jumbo frets, and humbuckers. Really narrows it down haha.
Really hoping for a follow-up to last year's Rob Chapman encounter, but this time awkwardly crossing paths with Lee Anderton.
"I'm seeing lots off cool stuff.... Namm...." had me in stiches. lol :)
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
That pink Pacifica looks beautiful.

Those Marconilab guitars are badass!
Some of those Cream guitars are very cool looking.. Also, unique new shape body that I dont mind.
"36 Subs represent!" Loved that ending
I like that you don't say much but just let the reps give their spiel. Great job.
Nice tour
That Italian guitar - Eco? Amazing. I'm not a big fan of non-traditional looking guitars but that thing looks awesome.
Love it. But needs more Glen, please.
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.
Lots of very interesting guitars this year. The art-deco style guitars aren’t my thing, but I can appreciate them for sure.

damm I love the rose prints on the kauer guitars!
I don't own a multiscale guitar yet, but I'm already a big fan what Ormsby does.
Cream guy has quick hands. Dude rocks
That Marconi Lab guitar was insane!
P.S. no disrespect to Dovy but your tone was way more better😊
15:25 My heart skipped a beat! What a catch!! What reaction time! How did he even SEE that?! What brand was that? The guitars looked awesome!
Cream Guitars.
G7 capo - I bought one at least ten years ago. It works fine, but ... NAMM 2024!?
We never miss it! Thanks for using one for so long :) Tommy G7th
Ultra-modern guitars aren't my thing, but that carbon fiber Marconilab is pretty damn cool looking, like a Pagani in guitar form.
You know all the booths were like "Oh shit its KDH! Everybody be cool. Dont piss him off, dont look him directly in the eyes, and just let me do the talking.". LOL Good coverage brother..
15:15 that's a nice catch!!!
I have a Neave Amp in my booth. Proper Hi Fi for listening to the finished article.
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.
