Hate the sound of my awful voice? Skip to 1:34 for the headstock reveal 😃

Stop criticizing yourself, you're perfect. Also you deserve a bad ass guitar, congrats!!

“Wow, ooh, the knob is very TIGHT!” You alwaysgotta do the knob feel whenyou get a new guitar. It’s satisfyingly smooth

I'm glad someone else loves headstocks. That is bad ass. I LOVE the headstock on my Jackson Juggernaut. I forgot to add that I could not figure out what the hell that clicking sound was while yo u played and watch it like 5 times before I saw you switching pickups. You are not human dude. I mean that in the best way.

[@the_ratman_]

Congrats man! It looks so cool and sounds great! Very happy for you! :)

[@danielellis7282]

I have an ESP LTD M-17 same headstock definitely my favourite design bar Ibanez normal or reverse headstocks

[@dylansalcedo2797]

Dude what a sick ass guitar man!!! Love that style I may get one exactly like that but neck through and glossy finish for my first 8 banger.

[@i4m3rr0r]

Perfect for a smooth jazz side project.

[@TheGreatBaronOBeefDip]

Now to get that on either a V or X220 in gloss or matte Purple.

Man you're gonna get 50k subs before 2021 easily! And you deserve every one of em.

[@benbeyer2451]

That headstock is mean! You gotta register it as a lethal weapon ;)

[@kevinobrien3888]

This was one of the first videos I saw of yours Dean. I had heard of Archspire, but didn't connect the dots. I currently have 3 .strandberg* 8 strings and am a huge fanboy. However... Because you both do a "new Kiesel unboxing" like ONCE A WEEK... now I want a Kiesel. Especially one with this headstock. Thanks buddy... thanks.

[@DeanLamb]

😃

[@-larry.]

watched this again; your sweeps are satisfying. like watching 66samus blast. ahhhh, so nice.

[@austinpruyne8337]

Absolutely badass! Congratulations on the new guitar!

[@CoreyAllgood]

Hell yeah dude! Congratulations!

[@SlapMyBass3825]

Glad i got to see the guitar live on stream. That thing is awesome. Kiesel is making a hell of a name for themselves. If I had the money I would try and make one myself.

[@coweatman]

Wow... that looks and sounds amazing. Grats man! 👍👍🎶🎶🎶

[@mattywrecks8727]

Tbh I wasn’t sold when I saw the photo yesterday, but now I am 100% there. That is a monster headstock!

[@chrisrinehart4008]

Two things I love. Black and gold color schemes, and reverse inline headstocks.

[@themorrigan1312]

Absolutely beautiful, but ngl, I find the Ormsby hype machine headstock to be more aggressive. I think it's just like, how sharp it looks with so little material to it, plus the wicked hook that the cut-out chunk allows for. Feels like a harpoon, and I love it

[@mikekelly1771]

Funny, the headstock shape on my guitars I call the sabre too and is near identical! (my strings are inline though). Looks killer!

[@greglane334]

And he dubbed thee the techslayer

[@Ddarke11]

Love that style of headstock. Always a sexy look. Had a cheapish Series 10 in the early 90s (? been so long ago) that had a similar one that made me fall in love with anything like it.

[@cavedwarf91]

First of all i have to say that you and your dude really inspire me to get better at guitar every day... man i practise so much to get on your level and i really love the style you guys have... oh and by the way: pretty nice guitar you got there 🎸🤘

[@Riffntings]

Gorgeous guitar

[@maaaaaap]

2:00 did claire leave volume on again?

[@stevewalker6340]

The thing I don't like about satin finishes is they get permanent greasy looking spots where you rest your arm and where you rest your fingers on the guitar with your picking hand. They look amazing unplayed though.

[@georgealva8492]

Nice! I was also made in Escondido Ca lol!

[@slickrickwillyjames]

Yeah i used to smoke a long time ago too. That guitar looks freaking sick man congrats!

[@infinidominion]

I've had four Xiphos over time and the one bolt-on lived up to the things that are said about bolt-ons.

[@JE12334]

Looks like the Jackson reverse headstock with a slight variation to avoid a lawsuit. The king of headstocks is still the Gibson custom with the binding and split diamond.

[@merginator]

Love love love that matte black with the gold. That headstock is epic.

[@Kimberlight]

Peavey Vandenberg styled headstock curve I'd say. Looks dope!

[@aaronenix6418]

awesome oceano shirt, man. ive never seen that design before.

[@joshmazany1590]

Awesome looking headstocks, identical to solars headstock though

[@Redwan_Shishko]

I do love a good headstock

[@3run3r]

Some fire camera work this time Claire!

[@MikeCriggs]

That's so fucking beautiful. Have fun with her, Dean!

[@Timbo6669]

I was just commenting how hard it is to get straight string pull with a reverse headstock...They friggin did it!

[@Beegpapijimbo]

Just me but I definitely like the 4+4 more for 6 string. I love the Jackson style for 6 strings, sometimes 7, 8 is just too big I get more of a sword vibe from the sort of tanto shape the 4+4 has anyway

[@gus26_77]

So, basically similar to a Solar.

[@camh4656]

And about $1000 more 🤣

[@novalechuck7498]

@@camh4656 or more....

[@nn-NeuralNetwork]

Just want to say thanks to dean for making me aware of that slanted picking thing he does. I’ve been working on it a lot and it’s made some riffs so much cleaner 🤘🤘🤘

[@deadstrain]

Does look wicked! I think that those Nile guitars may be the most aggressive headstocks though :)

[@Bebopopotamus]

It's a Solar headstock with a smaller hump

[@clysher]

That is an amazing looking guitar, wow.

[@JimDewdGuitars]

Wow man that thing is insane! Claire's crackle is looking sick as well! I have a HD6 in the works with my first Jeff finish and treated board and I'm super excited. Is the body of your aries alder? It sounds great.

[@ItsNihil]

Old guitar's wood grain + new guitar's head stock would be so sick

[@thetroll8655]

Looks similar to an agile headstock except it’s a bit meaner

[@bsmetal]

Claire for the win.

[@nisoldi]

love the shape of the guitar and headstock, i got a aries 7 with the bevel delete but i had to get gloss. i CANNOT stand the look of matte with the smudges and oil. I am currently 3 weeks into my wait for a vader 8 string... Its gloss white, 7 piece walnut/maple/ph neck, ebony fretboard, abalone inlays, black hardware. Its gonna be sick

[@ThermoHelix]

Bad ass man! Kind of reminds me of an Agile Septor, but better lol

[@MURDERINMIND]

question; what did you play before you played 8-strings? and how did you tune that guitar?

[@shaharbar]

Looks similar to Ola’s headstock (that’s a compliment!)

[@luxserpentis]

Jump to 4:00 for Dean Lamb ASMR.

[@thelastdaybreathinginetern1385]

[@brandonolson3997]

Thinking about an 8 string. Is 27" scale sufficient, or would 28" be better?

[@DeanLamb]

I personally would never go 28", 27" is long enough

[@toddcopeland2535]

We already seen it before this Dean! . i wanna see you on a headless!!

[@voidabstraction]

Eh. I prefer the ibanez 8's or Skerevsen Chimera 8 headstocks... that gentle asymmetry.

[@HowToGuitarMusic]

My god am I excited for some new Archspire

[@CB_ChaosLove]

frickin' dope!

[@RetroDoneRight]

Very, very nice! I much prefer bolt-ons.

[@grandolddrummer]

The takeaway from this is new Archspire music is on the horizon. Which is, honestly, the best news in this hellscape we call 2020

[@Feverdream7777]

what a dream machine

[@SinysterSoundsOfficial]

Heya Dean, the reverse pointed headstock is so sick on an 8. Are there any drawbacks, ie lesser tuning stability than the traditional headstock or anything? Reaaally want one. Thanks :)

[@DeanLamb]

Haven't found any, but I haven't done a direct comparison. The low string is just by its nature a little finicky, but I've found that on all of my 8 strings, regardless of brand.

[@SinysterSoundsOfficial]

@@DeanLamb finicky how? Just cause it's close to the edge of the fretboard or something? Thanks for the answer man didn't expect such a speedy reply, love the vids

[@SinysterSoundsOfficial]

@@DeanLamb oh duh, you probably meant with tuning. Yeah the low on the 8, and especially 9, is usually finicky for sure lol.

[@codexnecro]

You can now join Imperial Triumphant :D

That headstock reminds me a lot of Solar guitars

[@ooferrell]

[@zacharyedmond8223]

Thought i heard some white noise in the beginning of the video but NO IT WAS A HEAVY DEATH METAL TRACK.

[@cynaptyc]

Does seem a bit more "bitey"! Probably gonna be great in the studio cause of that! Can't wait bro!

[@Philipp_Thielen_510]

I would simp for that guitar tbh

[@excrementor69]

Does it nech dive a little bit?

[@icetraex]

Hey Dean, what are your thoughts on multiscale vs standard scale 7-strings? I decided that I'm going to buy a Kiesel 7 next year and I'm torn between those two options. I've never played a multiscale guitar before, but I feel that the standard 25.5" just doesn't provide enough tension for the 7th string, so it seems like it could be just what I'm looking for. I'm just wondering if it's difficult to transition back and forth between standard/multiscale guitars, or if there are any major downsides to a multiscale guitar. Dope headstock bro!!

[@jamieplatt333]

Beware how close you get to Tobi with it at practice, he may end up sliced !! 🦐🦐

[@spurvlek]

The first time I discovered your channel, I was eating muesli cereal. I love your videoes, but when I watch them, I constantly have the taste of muesli in my mouth.

[@pointymason]

That's seriously badass! Quick question for you - I've tried googling to find the answer to this however haven't had any luck. What string gauges do yourself and Tobi use in Archspire?

[@sushirofl516]

New videos from you two are the bass case scenario.

[@briangeorgebowes]

So they brought back the old Carvin headstock from the 90's and made an 8 string headstock?

[@matejmikulcic9254]

Are frets medium jumbo or jumbo?

[@LinkBurchett]

I was so confused when I saw that picture of Jeff holding that.. I was like "why is Jeff holding my guitar with Dean's name on it?" then realized it had 8 instead of 7 strings. but now that we have nearly identical guitars, I'm going to need your skills to go with it.

[@DeanLamb]

Dude I saw yours! It looks AWESOME

[@LinkBurchett]

@@DeanLamb I had to have the reverse pointy 7, it looks insane. Now unfortunately it looks like I'm going to need another 8 just for another reverse pointy even though I just got a DCM8 a few months ago.. 1st world problems.
