Jared Dines is a YouTuber with over 2,000,000 subscribers, best known for his metal covers and comedy videos. Jared is the former vocalist for the band Dissimulator, and former drummer for the band Rest, Repose. He took over on guitar after a lineup change. Jared is also the creator of the infamous teehee meme (an inside joke in the metal community). He is well-known for his video ‘10 styles of metal’ that went viral on several different social media platforms. It has gathered over 11,000,000 views on YouTube since its upload in 2014. He is capable of playing multiple instruments, like vocals, guitar, bass guitar, and drums. In 2017, Jared got scammed while making a video known as ‘Djent 2017’, where he ordered a 17-string guitar from Nicholas Olson of guitar company ‘Olson Guitarworks,’ who claims to have built numerous guitars in the past. Jared had paid over $1,200 to have the guitar manufactured. But, Jared found out that Nicholas had purchased it from a Chinese website (which Jared never named), and it only cost $400, and the photos that Nicholas was sending him of him ‘building’ the guitar was pieces of a door. Olson Guitarworks has since ceased production and deleted all social media accounts. Jared eventually got his 17 string guitar but posted a video of himself on Twitter and Instagram, destroying the guitar. He ultimately went on with his ‘Djent 2017’ video, but he had changed it to using 17 Guitars. In 2018, an Australian guitar company named ‘Ormsby Guitars’ contacted Jared, and they built him an actual 18-string guitar for his ‘Djent 2018’ video, and it was unveiled at NAMM 2018.
