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.

[@crock2434]

I could see Prince and other r&b artists having you make signature models for them as well...

[@southernpanda33]

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.

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

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.

[@MrDeanelwood]

I agree your instruments really stand out - liking what you're doing. Keep doing it :)

[@matthewduncan9405]

You are making some crazy instruments man. I heard Nick from Axe Palace demo some of your stuff - HUGE guitar sounds.

[@lyricbread]

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

[@tjn0110]

15:12 That man has got reflexes!! Incredible how calm he was, it's just that ninja training kicking in (no pun intended, or?).

[@onionheadguy7094]

Dude has reflexes, wit AND charisma no wonder Vai worked with them

[@S-T-E-V-E]

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!

[@Joe-mz6dc]

Great stuff!

[@NeglectedField]

And that, my friends, is why you need Hercules stands

[@2005ttr125]

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.

[@pedroaquino6265]

I always thought about that..

[@genesnodgrass]

Perry is a lot more gracious than I might’ve been in that situation.

[@PikkaBird]

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".

[@bleeknoir]

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.

[@eerbrev]

that very first button guitar was out of this world gorgeous.

[@LeoPerantoni]

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

[@simonpark843]

This is my favourite NAMM coverage on KZbin. You're doing a great job.

[@danthegeetarman]

💯💯💯

[@Superjet113]

Right on!

[@NeilOLoughlin]

100%..much more interesting to see the more unusual and unique guitar builders out there.

[@NexusLives]

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 🤣

[@InnocuousInes-pe8mk]

Those lowden guitars look beautiful. i love the finish

[@guitarlife6190]

At 15:16 one of the most impressive things at NAMM 2024!!!

[@PhoenixAndTheRaven]

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

[@DJKr15py]

Eh he's not squeaky clean but he's mostly okay as far as builders go. No big scams or anything.

[@tokylon2]

Guitar NINJA!!! Well done!!!

[@rosewoodsteel6656]

One of the best recorded catches in history!

[@kaynesantor8136]

That was legit some ninja movement. Excellent catch, bro. Good stuff.

[@stephenmcgrathbass]

Yamaha killin it as always. One of the most underrated brands. They even gave the guitar the IRA treatment 😅

[@quickwashtheraccoon7601]

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.

[@CaptainCraigKWMRZ]

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

[@stephenmcgrathbass]

@@CaptainCraigKWMRZ you must have read that wrong

[@stephenmcgrathbass]

@@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

[@quickwashtheraccoon7601]

@@stephenmcgrathbass I totally agree

[@75YBA]

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

[@bobbyr]

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.

[@sinnersdwarf7138]

Problem with the Yamahas is the price point for 1k cheaper you can get a Vola or FGN both also made in Japan

[@svart_kors]

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!

[@rla510]

Cool, Tnx for posting these. Always wanted to attend NAMM 🎶🎸🤘

[@fireworx_925]

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!

[@smokescreentom]

You’re kind to say mate, thanks! And you’re welcome 😉

[@D-8-Tone2]

The Marconilab guitars look amazing, the whole video is really entertaining and informative. Gr8😊

[@PawpawJamz]

Good stuff, Man. Great coverage. 🤘

[@GerryBlue]

Cream guitars look really nice, this is the best coverage series, thanks!

[@Adam-Z96]

Nice to see you playing along with Dovydas!

[@VinylforMiles]

I was at the creators party and you did some great improvisation dude! Keep shredding!

[@AnodyneHipsterInfluencer]

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.

[@bobnicolai5667]

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 .

[@SuperCMO79]

Awesome man have fun!:D

[@TDZPearson]

Looking forward to the full Ormsby vid!

[@smokescreentom]

Thanks for including the G7th snippet, massively appreciated! :) Tommy, G7th Capos

[@caileanhunt8679]

I really enjoyed this. That's how to do a Namm video. Great job guys

[@mark6302]

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

[@Woozy.0]

The greatest coverage for those of us stuck at home! Thanks KDH

[@dominicijavier1575]

damn nice save on that cream guitar. gorgeous guitars

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

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!

[@jackbootshamangaming4541]

if somehow KDH sees this, please stop by Ormsby and sign the blue Goliath going to San Francisco :D Éire go Brách

[@chris_2714]

Those Cream guitars are awesome and the builder is so enthusiastic. Great to see something unique

[@JaredGunstonTV]

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! :)

[@dust17111]

The skull with the sunset or rise in the background is sick love that guitar !

[@willudallmusic]

Good to see Perry on there! An old friend from WA out there killing it 🙌🏻

[@williamarendell5328]

It was fun seeing all these guitar brands I had never heard of. I saw some guitars I was really interested in.

[@ntomatas1]

great coverage of namm

[@adamwieczorek7701]

Thanks for NAMMseeing❤️

[@kebmel8668]

Love those Cream guitars!

[@TheBhannah]

The Lowden look excellent !

[@bobbybuckettookit9216]

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

[@duster722]

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.

[@MashaT22]

Yes, you hit Jack in The Box again!! 🤘🏻🎸❤️‍🔥

[@jefftucker201]

"I'm seeing lots off cool stuff.... Namm...." had me in stiches. lol :)

[@manfredmar]

Dean Gordon guitars are amazing, would love to see you check one out in a video!

[@badnamebob]

Those Marconilab guitars are badass!

[@robertbeals5643]

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!!👊🏽🎸

[@stockholm1752]

Truss Rod adjustment *between* songs? 7:51 Super fantastic! Thanks for all the info on guitars I would’ve normally walked straight past.

[@narglefargle]

I really dig the vibe of those Kauer guitars. Hope I get to play one someday...

[@stainlesssteve25]

Nice tour

[@JGervasi]

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 🎉

[@ratchet600]

The Marconilab stuff looks pretty wild! Innovative, Futuristic, weird! I'd happily wield the one he was holding at first! Super cool

[@suitsandstrings55]

Cream guitars is so frickin cool man. Wouldn't know about then without you and I'm working towards one soon.

[@butchlauer]

CREAM GUITARS with the save !!!

[@tobiasbales]

Two things I'd love to see are the Xolo Custom Guitars booth and the Oz Guitarworks booth, pretty please?

[@breaktimex]

exceptional design on Marconilab guitar.. wonder how it sounds

[@PsychoKiller24601]

Important points made by Cream Guitars about family run businesses. Nice guy!

[@noon_GhuNNa]

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.

[@catmandoodoo7903]

The bloke from Cream Guitars just makes me smile. I want one of his guitars just for that 😎

[@SomeDaveDude]

\m/ Dean Gordon \m/

[@deebojones]

Gotta say, i love those Cream Guitar designs.

[@maximummovementtheatre]

Great coverage. Let's the makers share what they have without interruption. Others should take note.

[@TJjjjjjjjjjj]

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 🌍

[@twinreverb87]

Love that g7th capo. Johnny Marr uses them too.

[@smokescreentom]

Thanks! And he sure does :)

[@notvanymore]

damm I love the rose prints on the kauer guitars!

[@stephen3164]

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!

[@jasonpatton9962]

Cream Guitars.

[@kellybrincks]

Yamaha's super Tele from the 90s is one of my all time fav guitars

[@CamiloPefaur]

"36 Subs represent!" Loved that ending

[@jcoop3660]

noice catch

[@blackthorn5709]

Really hoping for a follow-up to last year's Rob Chapman encounter, but this time awkwardly crossing paths with Lee Anderton.

[@garycoates4987]

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

[@Smart-Alex]

That Ormsby splatter board is sick.

[@GreenMeanie101]

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.

[@NedJeffery]

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.

[@FretLevelMidnight]

Okay, that button gitter is sick.

[@mathmusicstructure]

I love mahogany slabs, long scales, jumbo frets, and humbuckers. Really narrows it down haha.

[@alrangelal]

That pink Pacifica looks beautiful.

[@Superjet113]

Some of those Cream guitars are very cool looking.. Also, unique new shape body that I dont mind.

[@juliandelrio]

Marconi Labs!! 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉Great guitars!

[@uncleremus64]

Day 2. Look at that beautiful California weather.

[@bradchervel5202]

Its been shit up to this point. I think KDH Thorred it in his favour

[@deebojones]

That Italian guitar - Eco? Amazing. I'm not a big fan of non-traditional looking guitars but that thing looks awesome.

[@alien4422]

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. 👽

[@ego_friend]

another year went by wow

[@2WheelsGood.01]

Man those Pacificas are hooootttt.

[@virtualgravity2410]

Hope to see you around. The event is so massive, I barely run into my friends even after trying to find them.

[@scottbogfoot]

15:15 that's a nice catch!!!

[@EpictheEpicest]

Marconilab guitar is one of the coolest I've ever seen.

[@Sticky_Tea]

that 36 subs shoutout was amazing

[@robmurrah3224]

OK the NAMM jingle is amazing.

[@yourdrummer2034]

The lowden 335 looks cool!

[@DanishingAct]

Cream guy has quick hands. Dude rocks

[@danthegeetarman]

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 😂

[@juancortezmusic]

15:12 nice catch 😮 ninja movement 😎

[@fusionfan6883]

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.

[@geoffcasias9367]

dude, that bass falling for a split sec gave me a little heart attack. Glad he caught it

[@Negative.mrb1]

I have a g7th capo it is awesome does a great job yrs later

[@smokescreentom]

Great to hear! Tommy G7th :)
