Comedian and musician Dave Hill brightened a cloudy New York City afternoon by unveiling his latest instrument—a custom Numbers guitar built by Kiesel Guitars. Hill shared the reveal on Instagram, using the vibrant new six-string as a splash of color against gray skies before he heads on stage in Connecticut.
A Burst Of Color Against Gray Skies
In his Instagram post (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJ65HzTxqJw/), Hill wrote: “It is cloudy and gray in NYC today but this super awesome @jasonbeckerofficial Numbers guitar by @kieselguitars is brightening my day immensely! Thank you, Kiesel! Gonna rip this tonight in Milford, CT!” The accompanying image shows Hill cradling the eye-catching guitar, its multi-hued body standing out against the overcast backdrop.
Kiesel’s Numbers model is known for its bold design and custom options, and Hill’s version features contrasting color blocks that echo his offbeat style. While he didn’t dive into specifications, he made it clear the instrument is ready for action—and so is he.
From Podcast To Performance
Longtime followers know this isn’t Hill’s first rodeo with six strings. Earlier this year he helped launch season two of the Axelord’s guitar podcast, teaming up with cohosts Beau Jour and Cindy Guitars to interview indie-rock mainstays like Doug Gillard of Guided By Voices. In that series, he’s explored tone, technique, and the stories behind iconic riffs—credentials that now translate directly to his live show.
By blending stand-up comedy with musical interludes, Hill has carved out a niche that keeps audiences guessing. His podcast gives fans a glimpse of his musical chops; on stage, they see the results in real time.
Countdown To Connecticut
Tonight’s performance in Milford, Connecticut marks another stop on Hill’s East Coast run. In a throwback Instagram post from earlier this month, he wrote: “May 21 in Milford, CT! Come see me, @itsnikimassage and more!” (https://www.instagram.com/p/DJrSkaWRflP/). That event lineup pairs the comedian-musician with local acts and special guests, promising a night of laughs and live riffs.
The Milford gig follows recent appearances at White Eagle Hall in New Jersey and in-store signings at Forbidden Planet NYC for his debut comic-book series. Yet no matter the venue, Hill’s passion for performance and his signature humor shine through.
Fans heading to Connecticut can expect a blend of punchlines and power chords, with Hill switching seamlessly between mic and guitar. And with his bright new Kiesel Numbers axe in hand, even the dreariest weather won’t rain on his parade.
Hill’s Instagram reveal underscores how artists can turn simple gear posts into genuine event hype. By showcasing the vivid guitar before tonight’s show, he’s invited followers to share in the excitement—and maybe learn something about custom instrument design along the way.
Whether you’re a comedy junkie, a guitar aficionado, or both, Hill’s Milford performance is shaping up to be a highlight of the spring season. Keep an eye on his feed for setlist teasers, behind-the-scenes shots, and perhaps a few more guitar surprises as he tours onward.
From the gray streets of Manhattan to the stage lights in Connecticut, Dave Hill’s new Numbers guitar is doing more than making noise—it’s setting the tone for a night fans won’t forget.
