More really sick playing transpired at NAMM 2019... [Part 2]

[@senseored]

i like how youve designed some new super cool looking guitars and everyone just wants to play the one that reminds them of a tele

[@ramrod924]

My guess is that it's a good transition guitar before they venture further into the other Abasi designs

[@xthexadvantagex]

Maybe all they ever wanted was a tele in the first place. But now they have a tele that is more comfortable, more reliable, and more versatile.

[@theshapeexists]

@@xthexadvantagex more reliable? Lol. There's teles that are 60 plus years old that haven't been touched as far as restoration, and work perfect. Abasi needs to stick around for a century before they can make that claim.

[@michaelfleming16]

@@theshapeexists Was literally gonna say just that haha The tele is the working man's guitar. Simple. Reliable. Tough. and lets not forget...GREAT SOUNDING!!

[@kenderson3117]

guitars with emgs sound like shit to me so yeah i'd pick that tele looking guitar.

[@tromboneman4517]

Wes Hauch is one of the most versatile guitarists here. He has incredible legato, alternate and sweep picking technique, not to mention he can throw down some cool country style shred. And that’s not mentioning his sick riffs.

[@naj_z]

Al technique, no soul. In my opinion the worst of the bunch.

[@Goose21]

@@naj_znever once seen a person who leaves a comment like this that can actually play anything worthwhile

[@jows7595]

Mr Wes, it sounds that great because you’re playing it.

[@SwainBjornstrandt]

Josh smith. No one can handle a tele better than this guy

[@Voxtender]

Gotta love how one of the best guitarists on the planet is at his own booth doing real customer relations and marketing. Entrepreneur by Day... Guitar God by Night!...well all the time actually... lol

[@Kyle-hm7ee]

One of the most innovative, most defenitely, he has some of the most unique playing I've ever heard and I love his music, but I wouldn't consider him of of the best... top 50 for sure tho

[@karenfavs.6520]

He's pretty damn uniuqe

[@Ogscottyp]

Wes has always been a player i admire. He nails Dimes sound perfectly.

thats true!

Wes Hauch gotta be one of the best guitarists right now.

[@jaredfaulk7496]

The most impressive thing is how fast Andre switches from classical all finger picking to using a pick. He’s a wizard

[@sobasage1958]

I will never not be in awe when Wes is playing.

I've never seen a right-handed player use their left thumb the way that Andre Nieri does. All of these guys are incredible.

[@dutchyfresh1]

Wes is the man.

[@SpaceDisco1]

Love how we went from sick shredding to a tender fingerstyle piece.

[@adonisx-.-.790]

Wes hauch style is soo sic Definitely grew to be one of my favorite guitar hero’s.

Soooo clean... Even when it's distorted!

i am sooo here for Djountry lol

[@faronfonze9316]

Lmao yee

[@EggRollinInMy64]

I feel like Wes was feeling that fanned fret cause he said "it sounds great" like 50-11 times lmao. Makes me want one that much more!

[@ratsalad1]

0:28 the god of NAMM appears to bear witness to the greatness of Josh Smith

[@alangarza1431]

Love this video, i can take many lick and plays from Wes, he is such a killer player. Love his style

[@christianvoltaggio9460]

8:57 what in gods name

[@robdobble6672]

It’s a tapping style riff played without tapping. I think the pattern is him just playing different frets to make the same note.

[@benhemoth4693]

Mix of van halen ice cream man solo and some crazy dime legato. I knew before he even played pantera he was a dime fan just by his style. And after re-reading my comment I just noticed his cfh tat on his arm lol.

[@realtruenorth]

LOL,, thats actually easy to play, compared to the rest of what he is playing

[@GDT1124]

that is called the Megadeth I believe

[@tromboneman4517]

Riff at 7:47 is Exponent!

[@ChrisR-mv5nv]

It's cool seeing all these different personalities on the same guitar

[@Haku_records]

nothing like a big country dude ripping that southern sound.

[@AirGuitar]

I'm reading all of these comments saying how much Wes says, "Sounds great!" I had no clue he'd say it THIS much lol!

[@AndrewFriedberg]

One thing I love about the modern era, two of the greatest guitar players on the planet can have a conversation about fret height without being mobbed by idiots who want selfies. Maybe the world is working out the way it should.

[@britewiresatx]

Loving the versatility these guitars bring. Such a dynamic group of very different musicians.

[@russellzauner]

Wes: *shreds for 5 min* "sounds great" *shreds for 5 minutes* "sounds great" *shreds for 5 minutes* I thought they were weird looking when I first saw (actually, I saw earlier bass designs from multiple mfr that have extreme single cutaway) but after a few things got ruined in my body since, I have come to appreciate an intense focus on ergo design without sound compromise. The sig PU have always sounded great and I am glad that more artists can take their IP with them (ie; usually pickups, with guitar hardware) and launch their own platforms, leveraging key technologies they spent years evolving the sound of. Tone and feel are everything, and the tele model just shows that they also not only know now to mate and integrate their designs/concepts with heritage instrument platforms but do it such that people want to keep playing it once they start, so there is *instant* confidence when a user comes to the booth and grabs the space tele - all life future and past, contained in the potential. That thing is tits *and* balls, for sho. Mega swag, never produce it and put that sucker on the mantle and only take it around for events...

[@alex_8string_enjoyer]

Wes is the best metal musician nowadays, his phasing is insane

[@louiezar]

Wes can make any guitar sound good honestly

[@Obzenner]

14:31 "gimme 6 fingers, 5 ain't enough"

[@flyboymcgee8059]

Wes makes the strings weep Alluvial lead parts played live are exciting

[@technicallyjazz]

god, wes literally has something for everybody. if you're not blown away by one thing it's the next that will. the fact that he uses four fingers on his left hand gets me soaking

[@paulmera7677]

The most super beautiful guitar I ever seen ! pretty cool sound too! 💖👌🏼

[@dadude7]

I could listen to Josh Smith licks all day. Proper player.

[@steevkelly]

in both these vids - tosin switching the push/pull (coil tapping/paralleling?). that's akin to touching another dude's nipple. just feels... weird. i love at 5:21 where tosin switches for the guy and without a pause, he pulls the f'er right back out.

[@bakedandsteaked]

holy shit I just saw that 😂

[@ostentatiousostrich]

For real.. Tosin, stop doing that, man. I get you're trying to showcase those babies, but people don't like it.

[@bakedandsteaked]

upon rewatching, I think he thought tosin was pointing at it and telling him to switch it. I dont think he realized tosin actually did.

[@leeland446]

Haha! It's my axe (pushed it in) , I'm playing it right now (pushed out). Tosin should of switched one last time,,,I would of absolutely lost it!!!

[@terrinpeterson9899]

Wes is a military dude, his body language immediately said "I didn't like that" and that's why he immediately set the knob back so Tosin knew he couldn't get away with that again. Tosin is excited and I know Wes gets that, it was a genuine misread opportunity by Tosin. 🤘

[@Khobbyhobs]

What Wes does at 9:00 is just absolutely stunning

[@naveedalikhan108]

Very dimebag-esque legato stuff

grannywalter everyone is talking about Wes and Josh and I love both of them but to Andre Nieri is the best of all 3. He’s the most unique. He’s playing finger style jazz, blues with a Brazilian influence. Phrasing is also out of this world

its called fingerpicking

[@telecastersRthebest]

Hey, Tosin. Not sure if you'll see this but I wanted to ask what was the idea behind extending the upper body all the way to the 12th fret for the 6-string guitars? I'm just curious because there are some players who also use their thumbs to fret the low-E string beyond the 12th fret.

[@levi.s722]

Love all designs. I’m gonna buy abasi guitar in the next couple of months/years, that’s for sure. The greyish/white paint is awesome.

[@Mister006]

They're SOLD OUT of these guitars. 3:16 The TONE from the guitar matched with the pickups... Josh's "Wow" is exactly what I said at the same exact time - these guitars are tonally balanced across the spectrum! I haven't heard a style of playing yet that this guitar can't do well!!!
