[@BorisBidjanSaberi11]

I must say, Luis is a great ambassador for the brand. He sounds very enthusiastic

[@se7enthsoul]

Lmao he said he made all of them. Of course, his heart is on those walls

[@ivandiaz5551]

I'm from Mexico and I'm proud of these people from Cream Guitars. Their guitars are magnificent!

[@Kumacidefpv]

Topo bad they are ugly

[@KnapfordMaster98]

"we are not a copy" "fuck the system" "never kill curiosity" holy shit this company seems based. Really exciting stuff. The flower one is my favorite. Viva Mexico!

[@shawnhockey4841]

Much agreed my friend 🎸🤘

[@cgoebbert]

Totally! And the flower & Day of the Dead gtrs were my favorites as well! So cool!

[@MiikeyLawless]

I mean, it's basically a reversed explorer though lol

[@MasterCeddy]

@@cgoebbert All guitars are $1600 USD except the custom ones are $5000 USD and upwards because they are above all a piece of Mexican art.

[@joeygouda]

Viva Mexico? How American are you?

[@sixstringtv1]

my footage from this booth is borderline unusable, glad you made the video instead lmao

[@Brannington]

that REAL floral guitar is beyond wonderful, these guys are onto something astonishing

[@Brannington]

and it goes without saying, i wanna lick the sparkly ones

[@Rex-golf_player810]

Tbh ALL of these designs are exotic as fuck and i love them all There is a sort of retro-ish aesthetic combined with a very modern and future facing design and they're all badass

[@chuckelator]

I like this Luis and his Cream guitars. It's a breath of fresh air to see a guitar building doing ACTUAL unique stuff. Kind of reminds me of how I felt when I saw Dean Gordon's guitars when he started building his over a decade ago! Love it!

[@bthompson1229]

Many guitars are works of art but these folks take it to a new level

[@timradford4393]

For the first time in almost ever, I'm feeling inspired by a new guitar design. Luis is really onto something here, not only his eye for a good aesthetic, but his ethos seems to come from being one of us rather than trying to be bigger than his audience. Very impressive, very relatable.

[@allenmitchell09]

Mexican people are so creative and hard working, it’s exciting to see them entering the guitar market with a splash. I’ve seen that color change guitar on so many videos I feel like it won NAMM.

[@nudsh]

Just when I thought I had enough guitars.....these guys show up. I'm 53 and an old 80's metal / prog / shred fan, but I can't lie, I love everything they make. Viva la Mexico!!

[@mannyfragoza9652]

i give Cream guitar maker alot of credit in making something totally new and not to mention very sexy looking guitars

[@MashaT22]

I remember seeing video of Cream from last year’s NAMM and mentioned by a few other KZbinrs. The CEO is SO passionate about his designs and keeping prices fair. It tells you how much big brands are over-inflating their prices when he’s able to do some really cool stuff for WAY less, comparatively speaking - including hiring the brains needed to make that electromagnetic color changing guitar a reality for a guitar (I’ve seen it being used concept cars, as he mentioned). For all that and the end result of the guitars look, you’d think the price would end up being at least more than double or maybe even triple before he tells you the actual going price. Don’t get me wrong. I love the old school flavor and history. Most of us love those guitars. I just don’t like the BS we are getting served about old school processes, things in the US costing more to produce, raw materials costing more, etc. That all might be “somewhat” true, but not to the tune of what we are seeing happen. I bet the factory workers can make the same living and the company will still be doing really well - you’re basically lining the pockets of rich CEO’s who like to own palaces, go on extravagant vacations and show off how many A-list stages they’re playing on when they’re not even good enough to be there. We should all be pretty angry about that. Here we have a brand that is showing us what is possible right here and now, at a fraction of what you would have guessed it would cost - and with premium pickups and parts, mind you. He’s interested in giving us new body shapes and designs we’ve never seen. I’ve said this can be done for a long time if you hire the right artists and use very creative minds, but people laughed at me. I come from several generations or artists and carpenters (my last name even translates to the latter). I’m not a carpenter, but I watched my grandfather do it. On the other side of my family, my great grandfather was a painter and owned a furniture factory. My mom was a textile designer. I used to teach art classes at a local senior center. I know people want you to believe that we’ve done everything there is to do, but Cream is proof that we haven’t nearly scratched the surface. I have so many other body shapes in my mind and ideas that can be made into guitar tops - mass producible ones. I’m glad someone else out there like this CEO realizes this too. I’m hoping Cream will eventually manage to make some really cool designs that cost less to produce for around half the cost. It’s refreshing to see someone totally disrupting the guitar industry.

[@TO4ST]

There is a little snake oil with the increased vibration talk but I love the body shapes and the versatility of the way he wires them. Also the flowers in resin? Lovely

[@zedcarr6128]

I'll be honest. I was expecting a price tag of double what they are. $1600 USD is a great price for a guitar of that quality and uniqueness.

[@onetakehoovie5955]

Wait theyre only $1,600?!?!? What a deal

[@grantandrews4826]

Agreed, that's a great price.

[@Ricky-re6he]

That’s exactly what I was thinking. I was honest to god expecting 3-4 grand but was really surprised. I do wonder how custom is gonna be priced but I think it would be worth it

[@Rex-golf_player810]

Although i dont think ill be spending more than 700 dollars on a guitar right now, i think 1.6k is a very fair price for such a crazy work of art Reminder that normal ass gibsons are like fucking 3 to 5 thousand dollars lololol

[@Captain_Yata]

​@@Rex-golf_player810 Yeah, while I still can't afford one $1600 is very fair for one if the coolest guitars ever made

[@Aloha_Snackbar_Everybody]

Cream Guitars are really cool. I hope they get some traction and people start to notice them. 👍🏼⭐️ 🇲🇽🇺🇸

[@markpell8979]

These are some of the freshest new guitars I've seen anywhere in a long time. We need to hear them played. Not cheap but not terribly expensive, appears to be a lot of quality and features for the money. Very interesting report K.

[@D4veJap4n]

LOVE the guitars! Love this man’s vibe. Love the price. I will absolutely be picking up one of the sparkling ones. I would love to support this new companies efforts. Great coverage too KDH

[@demuthjesse]

I wanna hug this man! I love his enthusiasm and love for the guitar!!! I personally think this guy is going to turn the Industry on its head for his pricing and ingenuity! I fuckin love these instruments!!!

[@michaelmenkes8085]

These guys have caught everyone's attention, but your interview with Luis told the whole story. Nice work KDH

[@Pulse2AM]

Awesome guitars! Best of luck with the lineup! The changing paint is really a great idea because a lot of guitars I would buy if they had the right color are not available.

[@benjaminspudich8519]

Dude, these guitars actually blew me away super unique very beautiful. This guy is a crazy talented human being I love these types of boutique rare type guitars they’re always awesome. Thanks for the video.

[@SHAWNMICHAELPERRY]

awesome....!

[@Android-17]

Each one looks absolutely stunning!

[@mvalentino5650]

I was extremely interested just by the looks alone, then he kept talking, and then he said the price and now I must own one. I've been looking for an innovative brand for a while and this is literally exactly what I've been looking for.

[@Juan-rd5jf]

That day of the dead skulls guitar is killer!

[@ChristopherStandardTime]

WOW - these are great! The Dia de los Muertos guitar was gorgeous, and the wiring schematics are some wacky stuff I would do. WANT.

[@wildesage4172]

These guys are no joke. Serious passion and creativity on display here. 10/10.

[@SeagoGuitarist]

That colour changing thing is wild! I'm curious to see how it works with multiple colours. But these guitars certainly make a statement. I dig it! Very cool man, good catch. Worth watching. 👌😎👀

[@dunk3793]

It's lovely to see a guitar maker with such passionate, care and pride. Gorgeous guitars. Great find KDH

[@AnastasiaElliot]

I own the purple one!! I am the first US musician to own one! The color changing one was one of my favorite too!

[@Mattseak]

Wow so refreshing to see someone coming up with some actually new and innovative stuff! Really cool guitars!

[@DrMurdercock]

That Cream dude seems so legit. HE strikes me as a musician first whom got into this business. You can tell he knows what he is talking about and he knows it's cool

[@rk28984]

The Revolver looks cool, the other one is just a reverse Explorer and looks like a nightmare to play sitting down. Price is reasonable and if they play well then it might be a good option for someone looking to get very very flashy guitar. Not my style but some people will find great joy in playing something like that. I have a simple Dunable DE series guitar on the way, it's the same price range as these Cream guitars, hope you checked them out as well.

[@ReelGoodAudio]

These are a real breath of fresh air in the industry and loved Luis's storytelling...will be keeping an eye on them for sure! You definitely need to feature them on the channel!

[@l5e2n9]

These are amazing. I love to see companies going out of the norm. Thank you for this high light

[@gianalfredo]

I wasn’t excited for these guitars from the thumbnail… I’m so glad I watched the whole video! I’m still not excited about the shapes but the specs and color changing tech blew my tiny little mind!

[@jasonbrumley5453]

I like that they have some of the positive aspects of modern, ergonomic guitars but also keep the style and feel of classic guitars.

[@volt_thrower]

Props to Luis and his enthusiasm for not only the instrument but also pushing the industry forward. Keen to see where Cream goes in the future.

[@Upside_Down_Guitar_Guy]

These are so cool!!!! I'm stoked to go to your booth this year

[@Loxx_Sustainar]

Awesome KDH! Thanks for sharing with us! Great coverage

[@WeaselFace]

Every video i've seen come out of Namm so far have had the youtuber stop at this booth with a "wow, thats awesome" - and with good reason; those guitars look awesome and fresh.

[@deaddoll1361]

I like the look of the reverse explorer body, the other one needs more work I think, but good on this guy for not following the same but cheaper road that many others have. The colour changing one is amazing.

[@GuilhermeHKohnGAnti]

Love this guitar’s vibe. Wish them all the best. I’ll be absolutely picking One of these

[@BroKEnCaPSLoCk1]

All that design, vision and style for $1600? Mad. These guys are going to be big!

[@LukeZalvino]

I agree those are epic as hell and I'm not some metal rocker but id still play anyone of those. They have real mass appeal

[@killslay]

These are super cool. Always great to see people out there trying something new. That colour changing guitar is mind blowing, and I got really tempted to order one when I saw the 3D day of the dead finish

[@PabloNovillo]

I like those guitar designs but most of all, I love Luis vibe!!!

[@rautamies2305]

That EM-paint is so cool. So many possibilities for further innovation and use.

[@LeoPerantoni]

Holy shit, i think this is actually the first time that I'm impressed by a new guitar. These are so innovative. Thanks for sharing!!

[@legends1979]

The hidden bass pickup underneath the pickguard, with a pot to control it's volume mixed in with the other pickups, is such a killer idea! Also killer design and finishes if you go to their website.

[@Marcobegazo]

Can tell this person has passion and ambition and is really backing it up with those designs. Would love to play one at some point if I get the chance

[@smallshrimpin6939]

dude these guitars are easily the coolset from namm. they are so cool, and not too expensive, its great.

[@ianhoyle8459]

Beautiful work and KDH let him speak, bravo.

[@julianmetcalfe1070]

Truely beautifully made guitars Wow love them a class of their own ,nice to see different shapes colours are wild cool

[@pieflies]

I love these guitars. And they’re reasonably priced. If I was in the market for a new guitar at the moment these would be right up near the top of my list.

[@isaiashinojosa_guitarist]

I loved these guitars! I’m Mexican and I had never heard of this brand before, definitely going to follow them, I loved the 3D finishes

[@MrWill9894]

So cool! I like the reverse explorer model. That gold flake paint job hits just right for me

[@AuntAlnico4]

These are crazy ! Changing colors at the click of a polarity switch !

[@bbyllma]

Excited about these guitars and you are the first to show them!!!

[@eamonahern7495]

I like the idea of the single coil underneath the pick guard. I'm a 2 humbuckers, 3-way toggle kind of guy but the push pull options on the knobs with the hidden single coil gives all the versatility of a 3 pickup, 5-way selector type of guitar. Very cool find there!

[@Billy_bSLAYER]

Thanks for the video it is awesome to see some innovation!

[@metalbraincoder]

They look absolutely amazing, and I also like the shapes. I'd prefer no pick-guards and 24 frets (or more!), but these are tempting even as they are now.

[@RadityoPramAdi]

I had to pause few times for that colorshift guitar... really awesome !! Gonna check them out !!

[@failuretocommunicate4976]

Absolutely beautiful guitars!

[@davidconnelly]

Original designs. Genuine Innovation. Reasonably priced. I wish Cream Guitars huge boatloads of success!

[@SHARt_murmur]

Such a refreshing approach, good for them!

[@PikkaBird]

10:06 Thank you, Luis! I am sick of everybody saying they're "the BEST" when there's not such thing on production guitars. Once your quality is tight there's not really anywhere to go except into the artistic side of things.

[@eliasmsv3156]

God i love the CEO, he seems really down to earth and human which is always refreshing. Great innovation as well

[@trialbystone2532]

This dude has such an enthusiastic energy about him. Cool designs, cool philosphies, really into these!

[@marcocammozzo7553]

Cool to see some unique stuff! He's clearly so proud of the product!

[@PippPriss]

This company definitely was the highlight of NAMM, every KZbinr is covering it - I hope it takes them to places!

[@bassic6959]

These look really awesome. The CEO should be proud of doing what looks like an amazing job at a good price. I would love to read some reviews of bought models though

[@bassic6959]

I also love his philosophy of saying that his guitars are not meant to be your only guitar but is a piece of your arsenal. Showing he cares about guitarists and not just business

[@101Volts]

@@bassic6959 Bit of a far cry from Henry J of Gibson having executives shoot at Fenders, or at least, so the story goes. I didn't look much into it, so I don't want to say "yes, that absolutely happened."

[@JamesWilson01]

Glitter finish isn't really my thing but damn, those psychedelic Mexican ones are sexy!

[@younkinjames8571]

Now that I've watched the whole thing, I'm checking these guys out. You found something really cool there

[@erod425]

Was great to see you at NAMM!

[@ThePowerman121]

You can see the guy’s passion for this. He’s not just a “sales guy”.

[@fixingthingswithstrings]

I'm one of those "hey man, if it aint broke, don't fix it it" kinda guys and I gotta tell ya, these guitars are amazing!

[@Alanoffer]

They’ve really come up with something there ,,good luck guys , I love the idea

[@SlaughteredDecay]

I dig the concept, but especially the shapes. Nice to see something else than strats and LPS.

[@martyshwaartz971]

LOVE the switching options 🔥

[@Augustus222]

Wow thanks for sharing. Hope you'll be able to review one sometime. The single coil underneath the pickguard is a great idea if it still sounds good. I tried an Ibanez Genesis with HSH and couldn't get used to the single coil being in the way of my pick.

[@lomoholga]

The second body shape is fabulous aesthetically great craftsmanship and beauty

[@ArtGuitarLTX]

Love this guy, Luis! Damn cool looking guitars and great words. Love that color changing one. Hell yes!

[@Motownisyourtown]

These look great. Can't wait for the Audio Audit!

[@steve1982n]

Crazy looking guitars thanx for showing us 👍

[@ephraimsb2277]

When they first caught my eye, I assumed they were basically just show pieces and nothing more, but I gotta say, his whole spiel really sold me on the brand, especially given the price point. Hopefully we'll hear more from them in the future. This is what NAMM's about!

[@that90sguitarist]

I got to try one in 2022, very cool guitars. He did not have the bolt one, that looks sweet

[@axilleas]

This dude is onto something! Me likey likey!

[@catmandoodoo7903]

Those Cream guitars look amazing! I really want that green one.

[@adventureawaits3646]

I'm not usually a fan of colored guitars and 'extreme' shapes, but these are stunning. His custom ones are real art, but they all have something. Not sure I'd go for sparkles, but I'd definitely want to play one or two of these. And that green "Prisma" one could possibly look quite nice in my house 😀 The real flowers are a great idea too, I wonder how they keep them from fading over time? UV protective resin? They look stunning. Really would be interesting to hear these, especially compared to a 'normal' guitar, hear what difference the brass and aluminum parts make, such in interesting idea. Most "new" guitars are more or less the same old thing, but there's some very creative innovation here, thanks for the video!

[@bhgemini]

Following them now. That 3D Mexican custom was so amazing

[@svart_kors]

Wow!! Hails to Cream Guitars!

[@LeffHynebridge]

I love everything about these. Amazing.

[@scottbogfoot]

I first heard about this tech when it was in development in like 98 for car paint.

[@charlesmanthy9697]

I would love to work for this company. The CEO has the market by the balls with this line up! Great video, thanks!

[@markinthemix6055]

Wow😮. You have done a great job on NAMM coverage.

[@xyvxyethe5584]

really love the shape of the guitar, hope they make a full blackout Voltage model

[@Ovibos5]

I love the use of e-ink for the color change. If they can figure out how to do it more as a screen, like the Kindle, then you could have all kinds of designs not just color shift

[@kevindonohue8918]

Kdh. Thanks for something fresh. You do good work
