NAMM 2023 - Early Bird Walk Through

[@OlaEnglund]

Sorry guys, for some reason the ESP part was not in the finished part of this video. It's uploaded to my second channel here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/i56nkKWLqduIo6M

[@RokDAWG1]

It’s weird seeing NAMM on a much smaller scale. The couple of times I ran into you years back early in the morning, even then it was already in “go mode.” *EDIT* There’s no stage at the Seymour Duncan booth! That’s so weird!

[@ShinyShinyIsAlwaysBeingSerious]

This isn't forgivable you'll find a lot of us will be leaving and following Jake Paul instead. Goodbye.

[@wreckinjoint]

@OlaEnglund are you walking the floor tomorrow? Would love to say hi.

[@scoliewood]

🤘🤘

[@Lil_Thick]

Watched this strictly to see the ESP booth 😩😩😩

[@Kreozot2D]

"bass section over there, who cares" That gave me a little giggle, never gets old

[@kiddeggplant]

A bassist friend of mine once left his gear in the car and when we came back the window was broken into and he had two basses now

[@saulgoodman1390]

Ola Englund: Guitar lover first, CEO of guitar brand second... Respect!

[@aghastinagharta]

Guitar lover first, professional farter second, and nothing else matters.

[@hqrueck]

It was halfway through the video before he even showed his booth. Stand up guy!

[@zerozerotwosix]

Second this, I started watching video totally forgotten that Ola owns Solar Guitars, then half way through the video I was like hey wait, Ola himself has a guitar brand, is he exhibiting or what. Then only he was showing his own booth, ahhhh, there you go.

[@m4ssee]

"On my business card it says CEO of Solar Guitars, in my head, I think I'm a guitar designer/KZbinr, but in my heart, I'm a chugger" (Gamers get this..)

[@cpamiseso]

Thank you Ola! This video helps us non North American viewers to see what's going on.

[@becausebecausewhy]

It helps us North American viewers who are too broke to afford to go to NAMM too

[@realtruenorth]

​@@becausebecausewhyhow much does Namm cost?

[@stevemuzak8526]

@@becausebecausewhy I heard that North Americans are rich? Why every immigrant wants to move to America?

[@VortechBand]

@@realtruenorth I believe it's invitation-only. The general public can't buy a ticket. But those that can attend, it seems to be 70 USD for NAMM Members and students, and 140 USD for others.

[@jessehuxtable]

@@VortechBand I went, you are correct, you have to be with a vendor of some sort. And also, additional tickets for associates like myself was $320

[@5ringsbarbell51]

You took a pic with my son there, made his year. You kick ass

[@andygillion]

Sad to not make it this year so I appreciate this little virtual tour dude. Hope you and Louise have a blast!

[@TempusDan]

Ola deserved to be there. Too bad he couldn't make a stop in Pittsburgh to have a beer with me at Fermata Brewery. It's not like drinking bud light btw!

[@plasticoflamingo2952]

Ola Englund. The ONE musician awake at 7 am, that isn't still up (for questionable reasons) from the night before. Such a wholesome, family man!

[@static_motion]

To be fair he's probably super jetlagged, 7 AM in California is 4 PM back in Sweden hahah

[@veenoir1991]

I get up at 6 lol get myself up and around. Have a smoke. Then wake the wife and kids up, get the kids off to school and then I go to work or do housework.if I were by NAMM I'd be there and skip work lmao

[@jonwillett8594]

I'm awake by 5:30am out of bed by 6am. Have a coffee and a smoke. Then do the same. Get the kid up, get the wife up, and go to work.

[@squirrel_82]

@@jonwillett8594 I felt this comment.....ugh I need coffee.

[@jonwillett8594]

@Squirrel 4th cup of the day right now lol

[@scottreynolds5455]

Tja! Ola. Excellent. Thanks, thanks very much for sharing. Solar looks good. Need to get me one. Balegma is a cool guitar. Good to see you are traveling with you best friend. You are a genius. I love your DIY attitude. Cases with wood and glass. Carpentry ideas, excellent example to follow. Not everyone can self engineer, maybe those who do not, are better at other things in this world.

[@lyleanderson5407]

Many guitars have become art more than a tool ready for the road. Great content!

[@kahlrhoam6769]

THX, Mr. & Mrs. Ola! And welcome back to the USA! 🤘🇺🇸

[@rocker4ever]

Thanks Ola, for taking us with you at NAMM 2023!! Nice to see!! 😉👍

[@chuckelator]

I've been following Dean Gordon since he started (I think he was like 19 when he started building) and seeing how far he's come...just wow.

[@Katd16]

He started when he was 17, sold his first guitar to Keith Urban. He's 29 now and definitely came a long way. This was his first NAMM show and won't be his last. Thank you for the support 🙏

[@chuckelator]

@@Katd16 That I did not know, his guitars started randomly showing up in my FB feed YEARS go and threw him a like because of how unique what he's doing is. Was definitely stoked to see his work in Ola's video!

[@GeorgeMilkasIgore]

Thanks for that tour Ola. You are a magnificent sir that understands farts , guitars and the human Psyche ! I wish before I die, that I will be able to attend to one of the NAMMs and that you will last and keep a booth for ever

[@kebotrans]

Thanl you Ola for the video. Great to see the new stuff.

[@claudevieaul1465]

Thanks for taking us through, Ola!! It's good to see you both, but also the level of dedication and passion one needs to bring your music and brand thát far into the world!!... I hope you both enjoy yourselves and that you can continue this for many more years... 👍😎🙏

[@JenMajuraOfficial]

Louise has my shoes!!!!❤

[@erasedcf]

Oh, I missed NAMM vlogs very much! Ola's vlogs are my favorite content on the channel! Thanks!

[@justinnewberry3900]

Been 20 years since I’ve attended a NAMM show (as a vendor). Met Wes Borland, 3 of the members of Korn, Prince, Art Alexakis, George Clinton, and many others. Was a super cool experience.

[@joejohnson8966]

Sadge. Thank you for this video. It was magical seeing the NAMM coverage when I was a teenager on youtube. Sad to know I will never be there in person but IT IS WHAT IT IS. Thank you, Ola.

[@mikeashby7649]

The artwork on the instruments is so artistic to the point of crazy awesome love it! Great show and tell!

[@ikestoddard2458]

Thank you, Ola and Louise!

[@Hicks-g1m]

Very cool Ola I'd love to go to NAMM one of these days and check out the guitars 🤘🤘

[@kjmi64]

Love the Cream guitars pretty wild! Thaks for the early peek!

[@Romy-kh4pd]

Thanks for the NAMM videos Ola. Us here in south-east Asia can only dream of seeing such guitars in person

[@TheHolyRolle]

Namm Hell yeah been watching your videos since day 1 Thanks Ola for being the best!

[@andrewsantos3283]

Cheers Ola. All the best to Solar guitars.

[@AlejandroBravoC]

Love the Namm videos. I've never been there but this series of vlogs, they are awesome! 👏👏👏

[@Drerex]

Thanks for sharing some footage of NAMM. Hopefully will be there in a year or two.

[@MusicTherapyLaz]

Great seeing you at NAMM 2023... your guitars and the Solar String Dampener were some of my faves at the show... everyone wants them! 😎🎸🤘🔥

[@eDrumsInANutshell]

Ahhhh, Ola, that was so cool! Thanks!

[@TheMetalGBG]

Thank you for the tour

[@brianvankley3529]

Thanks for this, Ola! Also, trumpet player here 🖐️and yeah, I bring my own mouthpieces with me to shows to try horns. 👍

[@MARK-r6c3k]

Thanks Ola, now I feel like I went to Namm too. Cool stuff.

[@vince1229]

Great video. Showing all the guitars that we would not see normally. And before the all crowds and mayhem.

[@kiwisamurai69]

@13:03. I had to laugh. Love your work Ola!

[@metalex1708]

Thanks for the walktrough, Jetlag probably helps too for an early attendance 😉

[@chaos4316]

Those Ormsby’s always blow me away. They’re just the most comfortable, rock sturdy and impressive looking guitars on the market in my opinion. I find them really versatile, and their pickups sound amazing.

[@ivsiguitarist]

You got me excited when you hit the Ormsby booth. Need to add another Hype to my collection.

[@denverrandy7143]

Love the colors in the Boden J.Artisan👍

[@adrianoendo135]

Man, i like yours guitars só much !!!

[@CitizenKang]

Cool it's finally open to the public.

[@robertjones9598]

Thanks Ola. I remember a few months back when you indicated it might not survive. Hope it does! I may hit it up one day (if I can afford the air fare).

[@Cherry_Sunburst]

EXCELLENT.

[@mikeashby7649]

Wow! I love how all musicians I like such as yourselves usually end up here!

[@1972Georges]

thanks for this. hard to find any good footage of this years NAMM.

I couldn't make it down but, it's amazing to see. Thanks for the video Ola

[@MashaT22]

I’m really glad you guys ended up going. It isn’t NAMM without Ola and Louise! I love that you had the entire place to yourselves!! P.S. I gotta dog you for the Solar bass at your booth lol. 😂😉 #TeamNoSleepNAMMEdition 🤘🏻🎸

[@dme1408]

I met you at the ESP booth/room and was so "starstruck" I legit forgot your name hahaha. I always appreciate your videos and the guitars at your booth were amazing as well (I went by the last day)

[@baimun]

Thank you for this... first NAMM I've missed in a long while because of scheduling. Will see you next year!! ☮❤🎶

[@Skoora]

I remember going in the 90’s (worked for a guitar store), being real excited driving up from San Diego and after going twice it becomes a real chore, more than anything. You see a lot but you don’t really get to play much of anything, so if you go thinking you’ll be in the largest Guitar Center you’ve ever seen you will be disappointed. You better have good shoes…lol

[@Leychen]

Oh wow it's Namm again after years! I hope to see a lot from Dean guitars this year!

[@AWallgren]

Ola!!! You're in the LA area. Come out to Tucson Arizona and we'll go shooting American style. Guns and Guitars!!! Have fun at NAMM.

[@TheMoiibxmoiib]

Thanks for showing it to us Ola🙌🏼🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@lemmy9942]

The fart?

[@brunowilliam7529]

What i love about namm and other conventions like that is strolling around and randomly finding things i havent thought of and then being able to try it out

[@bobkornbrust7138]

Glad you guys had fun! I know thats a long trip for you hhaaha

[@bolillo5013]

Love these vlogs

[@spiritofthetallhills2037]

Yoooo Kyle from UNDEATH on the Dunable display. Crazy to see how far theyve come i remember when they were just an underground demo band. Totally deserved. One of the best death metal bands today.

[@taylorshred]

Certainly one of the bands of all time

@@taylorshred idk if you being sarcastic or just dont like sick crushing riffs your loss tho

Never heard of Dunable but several of those models looked really really cool.

[@guitarzen5999]

I was there and it's not open to the public. Not sure where Ola got that info.

[@lawrencegarcia69]

Sugi actually manufactures all the ultra high end MIJ Ibanez guitar. All non-LACS limited editions and artist models are made by Sugi and not Fujigen. I think they also produce some ESPs. But I could be wrong on that.

[@inflexionmusic1813]

Stoked that my sparkly Pink and Sperm coloured guitar caught your eye, you'll have to try it out next time ;)

the "cream guitars" never heard of them before either, wish they did a style with like skull and black roses and whatnot.. even up the game with some Red LEDs and a battery :P I would buy one... no joke

I've long been a Jackson & ESP guy. I especially love the pointy Jackson headstocks, they're my favorite. It's a metal headstock, but I gotta say, your headstock design on Solars is also pretty sick looking.

Cool looking aquarium zz-top guitars
