Ori is one of the very best, male or female playing. She just makes it look so easy mixing speed and feel.

[@clutchcarabelli8054]

Orianthi guitar of the day, yes please!!

[@marccalvert6040]

I love listening to her play!! 😊

[@nealsmith7652]

She is the best of the best! Just telling the truth! WOW!!! I hope to see her play in concert in 2021. That is true talent and AWESOME personality!

[@cowtowncustoms2110]

I look forward to hearing her new Blues album when it comes out. She has great talent and I'm sure Richie has some great songs already written.

[@pedmdias]

Just wonderful!

[@josephgrant757]

There we go! Blues all the way.. we already have enough pop music played already that gets old afterwhile….. Thank God More Blues!

[@StephenOshea]

wow that guitar is something so special . thanks for playing such great music Ori

[@joezambrano9651]

Great playing Ori man I love the sound of that guitar and I love the style of that Gibson wow

[@vayabroder729]

I had a 1980; one of the ones I shouldn’t have sold. Orianthi is a very good player and very grounded and likable person.

[@gregrandallbtsr03]

She is so amazing! Wow! Congrats on the two new guitars and looking forward to the new blues album!

[@elvee7851]

Love Orianthi, she is so cool - even playing a Gumby model guitar 😀

[@markrosenquist8259]

Sounds great! She’s got chops for sure🙌🔥

[@anthonyc1883]

Love a lot of those licks. Late-late night, end of last set, only the true fans left in the club kind of vibe. The partiers, the loudmouths, the ones not paying attention, all gone home and asleep in their beds.

[@JFK1180]

Love her tone!

[@coachdewalls9355]

That bridge pickup was 🔥! Incredible guitar!

[@darrellminx5459]

These guitars are underated.

[@nickdrewecki3183]

What an incredible sound.

[@christophersnyder3241]

amazing and really cool video. keep them coming. its nice to see great pickers have a chat like this.

[@yokomalight2393]

Wow, cool Guitar!🎸🎶 And great playing!👊

[@setmefree2818]

She's already a queen. When she plays it adds a whole new level!

[@f1s2hg3]

Mike Lemmo your a great guitar player and everyone I ever seen on Norms show is great at guitar chords and music. Keep up the good job guys

[@glenkepic3208]

Nice demo ! Actually saw one of these 'can openers' at a shop i'd shopped at since the early '70s in the early '00s. Went to the town to see family with my then teenage daughter and stopped by on the way home. Owner says "I got something you gotta see", reaches behind the counter and pulls out one of these ! She had it on consignment and would only show to folks she trusted. I'd only seen them in books so blown away. Played it abit but didn't get to plug it in. I dug it but Daughter was bored so.... That was it. Never saw one again until today.

[@saint6563]

"Warm & Wonderful" & the guitar is great too!!

[@plumiegirl47]

Luv it “it’s not available” she will put that to work. Really cool guitar.

[@sankeysinner8367]

Wow, freaky guitar and nice playing! But it sounded like the amp's stuck on Lemmo's 3-days-of-reverb setting.

[@emptyarms6113]

There’s no such thing as too much reverb, just ask Jeff Buckley.

[@808zhu]

Way too much reverb.

[@MichaelSmith-dg1fb]

All EQ's at noon, little bit of reverb..

[@VR-mm4ys]

Incredible as usual go Ori

[@unclerudy9797]

I had two of these Korina Modernes over the years... Such cool guitars... Something magical about the pickups in these Korina Series Heritage Models....

[@_clauscarstensen]

A Orianthi Blues Album! Great, great news. Thank You!

[@jeanpaquot1444]

Wow, incredible Guitar and incredible Orianthi ❤

[@PhilFeedback]

I’ve got a Gibson Moderne’ And it’s my most prized possession

[@connorfischer3283]

Orianthi and Jen both made this video great

[@samstamos427]

Two Gibson guitars in one day for the Lovely Orianthi.. Gibson USA! Gibson Pure!

[@nellayema2455]

I love the Moderne. I have a 2011 version in Ebony with the Futura headstock. If any '58 Moderne's ever existed they are the true Holy Grail of Gibson guitars. In my imagination there is one long forgotten and tucked in the attic or closet of a former Gibson employee's house in the Kalamazoo area. The Shaw pickups in that Korina '84 sound great!

[@alancastellon9225]

I LOVE THE SHAPE OF THAT GUITAR!

[@timkbt]

I hope someone from the shop reads this. I knew Joey Cardillo who was good friends with Richie Sambora many years ago. Joey was in a band called the Royals. I understand that Richie attended Joey’s funeral many years ago when Richie was with Bon Jovi. Joey showed up one day when we were thinking about putting a band together. Joey showed up with two black background singers holding each ones hand. We did “Love The One Your With.” When the solo came up and all three of them sang the Ahh’s the hair stood up on the back of my neck. Joey had the look and the voice of a star. It really shows Richie’s character attending his old friends funeral. His old friend maybe gone but is not forgotten.

[@keithpatel6584]

Insane Gibson,I love it.

[@RobertoGarcia-zd2tr]

yes, the Great Orianthi!

[@williammendez9610]

Awesome guitar player

[@despaulsgastronomicaladven2566]

Crazy! Anything she touches she makes look and sound excellent

[@mariorabottini5687]

Man…what a talent she is!!!

[@terryenglish7132]

? I must be missing something. Sounded like any one just playing a guitar.

[@mariorabottini5687]

I meant in general!! She is an awesome talent! I’ve seen her live on a couple of occasions! Sensational!

[@curtiseverett1671]

designed in 1957 along with the V and the Explorer.....but not released until 1982.......so unusual.....and they were all Korina....so so great!

[@bobboitt3126]

That guitar looks great on you!

[@ViaAvione]

Wow!!!

[@NickGranville]

The guutar has a built in reverb unit. It’s stuck on the 7 second verb though.

[@Terryomalleyonline]

Another quality Australian export.

[@69zenos1]

scarey looking at best. Plastic

[@michaelirons5662]

MAN THAT THING WAILS, SHES A FRECKIN AMAZEING PLAYER.

[@randy1randy1]

Beautiful lady ! Awesome guitar .

[@shibumi5210]

She is such a huge talent onstage- I never realized what a tiny little thing she is in person!!

[@maxpeck4154]

I'm cool with the reverb. Can't stand not having ANY reverb unless the gain is cranked. Great playing!

[@joermnyc]

Only Hendrix could get away with straight up dry signal.

[@willem9688]

@@joermnyc haha true 😉

[@alancastellon9225]

What a beast 🤘

[@ruffian1868]

Love the Adelaide accent. Go Orianthi !

[@williampaisley1372]

Great tone and playing....

[@f1s2hg3]

Love that headstock design

[@arjnoro1]

If ever a guitar model fit an artist I think it fits Orianti perfectly.

[@TheYz465]

Oh Yeah!!!

[@johnt.mickevich2772]

I always felt that Gibson should have made these in a variety of mid-century colors. I mean, they already look like 1950's car tailfins, you might as well color them like one!

[@mortensen1961]

Well, it was designed in 1957. . .

[@The_sinner_Jim_Whitney]

Like that awesome teal that a lot of 55-6-7 Chevies were!

[@lotfiali]

Very beautiful looking and very beautiful sounding guitar. It has got the flying V vibe but it is defo more comfortable to play while sitting than the flying V. It has fallen into the right hands that can unlock its potential

[@Steve-qi7hc]

Gumby loves that back pickup.

[@treatb09]

Wasnt expecting her to bring that tone. Awesome

[@MrChadcolwell]

Yeah, I wouldn't expect a professional musician to use that much reverb on a demo either. lol

[@treatb09]

@@MrChadcolwell no i wasnt mocking her like you. I thought she killed it and brought a fucking representation to the tone she chose. And with the oddity of these rare guitars. Its. A vibe that is all sorts. Just everything fits together here

[@vickyvlrich]

Oh wow

[@Popsaircraftdetail]

Awesome she’s so awesome

[@TheChadPad]

It looks great with her!

[@johnnydogs217]

That headstock is The 💣

[@Jflux69]

Norms so good with students.

[@MrChadcolwell]

Chill with the reverb

[@koolkat808hawaii]

I Actually met Ted McCarthy on a airplane going to Hawaii and I asked about the Moderne. His words to me were " We built 2 of them and everyone thought they were so ugly that we cut them up and threw them in the garbage. Just passing along what he said to me.

[@gadymarcus2362]

Oh Wow orianthi Number One.

[@MattyK-USA]

Ori's got chops. Good on ya, sistah from down undah! P.S. Someone let Lemmo set up the amp...

[@riskytanuwijaya5757]

orianthi the bast !! salam from indonesiaa,...jadikan aq menantu mu ibuk orianthi.

[@johnvcougar]

❤ the triumvirate. I have an Epi Explorer and V, Ibby Destroyer and Rocket Roll, would LOVE the Moderne from either or both. Gibson would be lovely! It never struck me before: the Moderne is a guitar for The LADIES ... missed a marketing opportunity there, Gibson.

[@evanharnett]

Would have loved to hear the guitar with an overdrive pedal! Clean tone was nice!

[@phungmoe2302]

God Dame.... that is a gr8 guitar for the guitar goddess! Dame......😍

[@bldallas]

That is the weirdest Gibson guitar I’ve ever seen! Seriously, I’ve never seen one. Wild.

[@gianski3306]

It’s weird but highly sought after, the original 3 weird guitar shapes that Gibson showed at a NAMM in the 50’s were the Flying V, Futura(Explorer prototype) and this, the Moderne, and of course only 2 of those 3 were actually made into production, so the Moderne was stopped at the prototype phase(this what i remember, i might be wrong and it might’ve been made into production but only a really small amount) so when people started learning about Gibson’s history, the Moderne started being popular for being a rare model of Gibson guitars

[@anthonyc1883]

It's legendary. Glad you had a chance to see a rare reissue. I was a starving college student in Chicago when the Moderne, V and Explorer reissues were announced/released. Man, was I envious.

[@FernandoRR66]

When a demo with a Plexi without reverb? ;)

[@tedfurlo2268]

Guitar and Guitarist become one. I'd say that guitar was made for you, if it weren't for the fact that that guitar is you!

[@daviclar867]

Slide it in straight to the top, slide it in I ain't never gonna stop!

[@wmrustycox]

That "Gumby" headstock is undoubtedly one of the most unusual heads Gibson ever made... but it works with the Modern

[@christopherkelley5875]

I love the look of all those Korina wood guitars but lord if they aren't awkward to play sitting down haha.

[@joermnyc]

Man that headstock design pulls the strings every way but straight.

[@sam_uelson]

Lemmo makes me anything but straight

[@goswo]

Yes, very strange design… wonder how it stayes in tune

[@joermnyc]

@@goswo a tub of guitar grease

[@ifgwelf]

The whole Gibson Moderne story is so cool

[@f1s2hg3]

Nice

[@f1s2hg3]

When I make the big time it’s straight to Norms for that 1959 Gibson Or Epiphone Lester Paul!

[@sassycat]

I had the funds to buy one new back in '83, still kick myself when I see one of these show up. Norlin era Gibson done right.

[@terryenglish7132]

Epiphone has them in production, $500. Proper woods etc. I like the look, some don't

[@sassycat]

@@terryenglish7132 - Gumby headstock or the Futura one?

[@curtiseverett1671]

Not sure why, but that guitar just fits her....it's perfect.

[@georgew.morrowiii118]

Very cool of that gentleman to purchase those guitars for them. The Moderne is sweet.

[@GEAUXFRUGAL]

Can't get enough of her. Really looks like that guitar was made for her.

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

A VERY COOL GUITAR YOU GOT THERE MISS ORI, YOU SHOULD HAVE ME PLAY ON A FEW SONGS FOR YOUR 'BLUES' CD IT'LL SAVE YOU A COUPLE OF NOTES AND ACTUALLY SOUND LIKE THE BLUES THE BLUES THE WHOLE BLUES AND NUTHIN BUT THE BLUES CARLOS GUITARLOS 90042 USA

[@barrysoetoro8452]

DARE YOU TO WATCH THIS MOVIE VIDEO ON KZbin Horror Short Film “Slaughterbots” | ALTER

[@greensombrero3641]

What is weirder - the Moderne or the RD model?

[@mrpbody44]

I have 2 of these I bought new when they came out. The TIm Shaw pickups and 300K pots that are stock sound killer. For some reason the Moderns sound better than the 83 Korina V and 83 Korina Explorers that I have.

[@terryenglish7132]

No both ! ? Her taste, or is it N or B only for p-ups ? Seems weird. I've thinking about an Epiphone version, but if its like their LP Jr reissue the D neck would inflame my carpel tunnel.

[@waynedavis5137]

Just gunna say "what about me" (story of my life). Oh yeah, a sheer pleasure to watch and listen to Orianthi play.

[@g.m.flameg.m.7326]

Normans Rare Guitars, I mean Norm, mr. Michael, how much does this unique guitar worth??? I m curious because i love it

[@tigerstripe8049]

d’love to sleep there indeed. yet almost impossible w all this gtrs 🤪

Blues

[@wesleyalan9179]

🤟Rock!

[@wesleyalan9179]

6:09 leans back a little to let it rip! Lets the guitar rip that is!😆

[@BadgerVito]

Nice playing an a historically interesting (if unappealing to my eyes) guitar. I've always wondered how these things stay in tune, with the wackiest string angles above the nut of any guitar I've ever seen.

[@69zenos1]

I know a guy that has one of these here in Chatsworth.

[@Smagledorf]

Oh my oh my what a way to end the week! I might not personally prefer the Moderne but I do love when awesome players do awesome things with it! However! Gotta do a Maton!
