Ey! Thanks for stopping by our booth! This is the first time we go to NAMM and were very happy to see people playing our instruments. The green cyberpunk guitar is called Futurxs: CTL after Citalli, which means "Star" in Nahuatl. While that one was a prototype, it was such a huge success (and was bought immediately at the NAMM floor) that we are working on making it our first production guitar! We will be announcing a limited run soon!

[@sixstringtv1]

You guys rule, hit me up when you have the production line up and running!

[@squirtcobain477]

glenn strangling you on that thumbnail was inspiring

[@MashaT22]

I’m SO glad you had a ton of fun! NAMM doesn’t need the big four brands to have plenty of cool products to release and try all in one place - plus SWAG! (I’d love to see the SWAG haul lol). Thanks for interacting with me so much during your trip on Instagram - you made me feel like I was there from my home in NYC, eating questionable candy and getting plagued by bible-preachers on the beach with you guys! Much appreciation to your gf for helping with the camera. I am sorry about the mic, but I bet you can overdub to tell us about some of the other stuff in another video. That must have gut punched you on the plane, but ppl will still totally enjoy hearing what you saw, heard, and experienced (like a post NAMM reaction vid) when you manage to wake up from your month long jet lag nap, lol. ✈️ 😴 I hope you’ll go back if NAMM still exists anymore. I think NAMM needs to add music lectures, classes, and other experiences for the public, KZbinrs, and other brands to draw even more attendees. It definitely had a healthy showing, even if it was smaller. I don’t think NAMM is dead yet and lots of KZbinrs sadly missed out by not going because the big four didn’t show up - to network with other content creators, viewers, and brands in person is extremely valuable no matter what size channel you have. Hopefully you won by showing brands you’re serious about their products and showing up all the way from Germany to meet them where other KZbinrs didn’t feel it would be beneficial to make the trip. 🤘🏻🎸

The bad audio is what i used to here from old NAMM vids and made me nostalgic, also ty so much for adding actual subs and not making people use auto subs

[@sixstringtv1]

Auto subs wouldn't even have picked that shit up, I'm so mad the audio got mangled like that 🤣

[@molekyyli]

Will watch later (homework 😭) but I've seen an ESP video somewhere... Zero lefties in that video showing dozens of guitars. I guess I don't have to be sad not to go since there would be like 5 guitars for me to try on the whole show lol. Been to a local convention (with our guitar building school) and aside mine, there were like 3 or 4 other lefties. It was way smaller than NAMM but one guy making acoustics showing just several guitars said he always takes one lefty (and it was very pretty one!). At least someone has the courtesy to remember us "abnormalities" exist too.

Dude is a beast, and that guitar was just too funny to me

[@AndreyOrochi]

@@sixstringtv1 he is. Quick facts: once he plays on 1 neck - it's too many notes for human comprehension lol, crazy shredding capabilities. That guitar was probably built by a Dutch luthier. The electric guitar version can be disassembled into 2 guitars. LOL. If we ever survive this year we might release some albums with him singing and playing guitar, he's my big bro from the US. Thanks for capturing him live, he deserves way more fame.

Those Cream guitars are sick! Whats the quality like? Also, your audio was fine. A little muffled, but all the NAMM videos are.

I can be harsh and abrasive if I don't like something, but NAMM was super fun!!

[@scottyknows]

Guess you didn't like me lol. I was the dude talking to Trey. He was super nice and we were just chit chatting since the floor just opened. You and your gf came up to us, I recognized you and said I liked your videos and you didn't acknowledge it. Then Rudy showed up and all y'all proceeded to turn your backs on me like something out of mean girls lol. I get it, you're there to make content, not interact with fans, but geeze that was rude.

[@sixstringtv1]

@@scottyknows Oh shit man, I'm sorry! I swear I didn't hear you actually say anything, Trey just introduced you and In my head I was like "Do I shake hands with him now?" 😭 Also seemed like Trey was pretty busy talking to a bunch of people, so we left anyway (and didn't see Rudy until wayy later that day) I never saw Trey again either until the night of the 2nd day, I swear I would've given you a sticker and shaken hands with you like everyone else if I'd heard you 🤣 If you're around next year I'll make it up to you

[@scottyknows]

@sixstringtv1 its ok man, it can be awkward still about who wants to shake hands. No hard feelings, I know you had places to be. It was cool seeing you in person.

[@sixstringtv1]

The whole encounter with Trey was awkward as hell lmao. We had been om the floor for a total of like five minutes and so much was already happening, and Trey seemed kinda overwhelmed too. I was glad I got to meet him again the next day to actually talk, and I hope to see you again sometime too!

IYV makes a very impressive cheep guitar, and it appears to be favorable odds that you get a really good knockoff..like 80/20. Gotta give them props for what they do.

Finally an honest review... like a giant music store people seem to have the need to bolster their fragile ego and play as fast or loud as possible.
