Whats the deal with the NDM1?

[D!stortion]

Ok, So I just bought one, amazing guitar. It has no tremolo which means no whammy bar. Now, I have been looking at some pics, and I've noticed some have pics of Noodles playing a talman that is wrapped in duct tape WITH a whammy bar. Now, is that just a random talman that Noodles rigged up himself or is it some sort of uber NDM2 or something? I want WHAMMY!

[Drummerguy123]

lol. I have no idea what a whammy bar is.

[Little_Miss_1565]

Since Noodles is, well, Noodles, I assume he can get lots of custom whatnot on his guitars.

[Drum Goddess]

lol. I have no idea what a whammy bar is.
Yeah I don't know what a whammy bar is either. Drummers, we're so behind the times.

yes, i definitely remember reading somewhere about what custom stuff was done to his, but since i dont play i dont really know what all the stuff means so i didnt remember it lol.

[Jebus]

yeah, what she said. There's no NDM2.

[neocon58]

Yeah, his is basically a customized one. NDMs that are for sale have no whammy bar.

[Manic subsidal]

Should I get a NDM1 guys? My other electric guitars are crap and I'm looking into buying a new one. Any recommendations? I want a cool offspringy sound 8-)

[NDM1]

It's weird because if you watch All I want in the complete music dvd collection you see him using an SG looking NMD1. Anyone else notice this?

Oh, get one for sure. It's pretty cheap (about little over 400 American), it's light with a fast neck. 5 humbuckers, so you can play pretty much any kind of music on it. Fantabulistic guitar

this is my NDM1.so the ndm1 is noodles's signature guitar,they made a copy of his ductaped talman.it is a talman.sometimes noodles use it in shows,he is also using it in Cant repeat video.im sure you already figure it out but the ndm1 is a replicated of his tuctaped talman.he only use one ductaped talman.the question is,why when he use his ndm1 he have the whammy bar on it and not us?I understand what you mean but I cant anwser

[Nirushika6789]

^ hes got a hell of a lot of customised things on it whereas when we buy it it doesnt have those things ie the whammy bar, scratchplate etc

[makinglove0070062]

Who cares about the whammy bar. Because I don't. I think that the bass guitar is the best one ever.

[crrrN]

The NDM1 model has a fixed bridge, which means it has been screwed onto the body, which also means your sound is fatter because your body is 1 full piece of wood.
Noodles his guitar has a tremolo, which means the bridge (or tremolo) has a few springs in the back of guitar which means you can bend the strings, which isnt possible when the bridge is screwed onto the body. In his body (guitar body) is a hole which affects the sound of the guitar. (Not drastictly though).

exactly...the guitar i have now has the tremolo bar but the NDM1 that we can buy doesnt...i am still going to buy it later on because i will still have the guitar i have now so it doesnt bother me ...

[D!stortion]

Yeah, my Sovereign has some hot tremolo action going on, so I have the whammy. But the NDM1 is my main guitar for sure, I want my main to have whammy! sad

[Noodles]

I have a bunch of those guitars, some of them have been customized depending on the song I use them on. Some have whammys, some don't. Others were made before the NDM1 was even an idea. The NDM1 was based on what I had the custom shop make me for the road.

We are currently working on a new model based on my black Talman-the one with all the stickers on it that I play "Head around you," "Hit That," "Long Way Home," and a few others on. This guitar should debut at NAMM this January. This guitar is very true to the original, and I'm stoked with it. Similar pickup configuration as the NDM1, but different body shape.

Hope you like it.

[offspring_freak_3]

oh i want one :D

[neocon58]

A new noodles sig? w00t!

Nice! I'm going to NAMM, my friend works at that little music store across from Cypress College...it's a crap store with way-too-high prices....but they have NAMM badges. YOINK!

[Dexter_italy]

See guys? when there are smart thrreads they answer to us :) and I have to say that i'm really looking forward to the new Noodles sig. Thank you man!

[sebastienfan]

I puted the Tone zone pickup in my NDM1 and the sound is just amazing, I really like it,I dint really liked the original pickup of the NDM1.My nephew is 9 year old and when he saw my guitar he asked me '' why your guitar is made of tape?''

Sounds sexy. What's NAMM?

Also, more importantly, is there a moderator's discount? ;)

[Nirushika6789]

;)
yea i wasnt sure about that either...anyone who knows...tell us...is it an american guitar shop or something

and offspring_freak_3 yea it will probably be around £450 ,that is if they are keeping the same price as the NDM1...but it will probably be dearer since its new

[offspring_freak_3]

^^ thats not so expensive :D

here in brazil is 2 x more expensive. the guitar custs almost U$ 500 dolars right? so here in brazil it would be like R$1.300 :( thats really expensive

[funkmonkey]

NAMM is held every year at the Anaheim Convention Center, its where a bunch of musicians have a giant orgy.

i mean, companies show their brand new products for the year. Very La-De-Da

I think it's just a standard Talman. I read that somewhere - but I don't memorize all of my offspring info.

As for the NDM1 - meh. Not my type of guitar. I find the volume knob to be way, WAY too close to the strings, and I end up violinning without meaning to. Which usually doesn't sound good.

[NDM1]

Oh new ndm!? Sounds sweet. Can anybody upload a picture of the guitar with that hes basing it off of? (The black talman with the stickers) And noodles, what made you want to come out with a new one?

Edit: Wow its been like 6 months since you have posted last, what made you want to come back here?

[NDM1]

NICE! Since hes basing it off of that one it should be awesome.

[Trippy]

Noodles should write a journal again, it's been soon two years of the latest. They are always good reading.

[H1T_That]

god damn i wish i had a clue what the fuck you guys are talking about....

i know fuck all about guitars.....if someone asked about mine....i could say its..

1) green
2) yamaha

thats it....

[pretty_fly_white_guy858]

I want the new Noodles guitar. Right now.

[The Knob]

does the new guitar come with the identical stickers?

any news about this NDM2 ? release info etc....

[pretty_fly_white_guy858]

Noodles said it was being released at a big guitar show where companies get together and show off their newest products next month. Or something. Just find his post in this thread

[D!stortion]

Oh...my...god... Another Noodles sig guitar?! I want it!!! But you haven't given me enough time to fully enjoy this one yet! Haha. Well, I must say I am pleased. Noodles, my fav guitarist of all time ever, answered my question. The guy from the lost prophets wouldn't even give my brother the time of the day at a concert, just told him to fuck off. I'm satisfied with my life now. Well, I will be once I see the Offspring live.
