I was born in 1951 so that NC and I are the same age. Great to see that guitar making noises that nobody ever even thought about back then. That boy can play.
Always love seeing these vintage instruments getting new life! Thanks to Norm, Michael, and Jen for making my day just a whole lot better. :) And like all us older types, that 70+ year old guitar can still freakin' ROCK.
You are correct Mr. Lemmo. You've never played a Nocaster on GOTD. Three have been featured in the past, but they all were recent reissues. Brandon did a CS B-bender, Jack Ryan did a CS NOS, and you did a CS in Lake Placid Blue. Nice to see the real thing come through the shop. Sounds great.
Cool that Lemmo has had his hands on a Broadcaster, though. And since you are mentioning other players, Agnesi for sure did a Nocaster on this channel but we are talking many, many years ago.
I agree, it sounds like I'm in some 3D surrounding craziness, but I'm guessing it's really this dude and his crazy skills making it sound that good, but it does sound like he's playing a different instrument. Maybe it is the guitar, I don't know, I've never heard something sound quite like this.
And the Esquire even before the Broadcaster! Yes, the very first blackguards were called Esquires in one and insanely rare two-pickup versions. Very, very quickly the two pickup model was renamed Broadcaster. But, the Esquire came first as documented by the serious Fender historians like Richard Smith (and others) who have published books.
My favourite guitar (I have a 2005 CS Nocaster), though I've never held a real one. I doubt there is anyone on this planet that could more do this Holy Grail guitar justice than Lemmo. That wonderful dark tone took me to 1950s jazz records played on an old gramophone. This man is magical, gifted beyond mere mortals. Much as I love the guitars in these vids, I watch now for the music. Combine Lemmo with a Nocaster, my dream guitar, and it's heaven, like all my Christmases at once. This vid is an absolute joy.
Norm- the most significant feature of the Nocaster is the blend pot, instead of a tone control. This let you blend in any amount of neck pickup when you selected the bridge pickup. Fender did this thru Spring 1952 and it was his best idea- ever. I'm must say, it is a crime to replace original frets with anything other than original sized frets:(
Wow, I'm sure it is 95% the incredible player vs. the guitar, in this case and most any case, but the two combined on that Eleanor Rigby was some hot hot stuff. Wow.
I imagine Norms is a great place to work and all, but why isn’t Lemmo in Nashville doing sessions or out touring. I would think that he has offers coming from all over for his guitar work. The No Caster is really sweet by the way.
Who else would dig an audio EP collection of Lemmo's best couch jams from the last couple years? YES, ME!!
We need a link to this! I love Lemmo's jams
It could be called Lemmo’s TeleCasting Couch Jams.. ok that was bad
Wow that Eleanor Rigby rendition! 🔥
I was born in 1951 so that NC and I are the same age. Great to see that guitar making noises that nobody ever even thought about back then. That boy can play.
Hands down, best demo I’ve ever seen! Thanks for giving that ax the respect she deserves!!
"It's not second best, but it's better than first best"
I love it Norm!
Amazing Eleanor Rigby version! Great sounding guitar! That distorted sound is so heavenly.
Incredible version of Elanor Rigby!
Good lord…..Lemmo is one of the greatest players of all time!!!
Wow. what a great sounding guitar and yes, Mr Lemmo certainly had a role in that. Loved the first Led Zeppelin album covers. Outstanding.
Always love seeing these vintage instruments getting new life! Thanks to Norm, Michael, and Jen for making my day just a whole lot better. :) And like all us older types, that 70+ year old guitar can still freakin' ROCK.
Heavenly tone and playing ❤
Now that`s a demo! Amazing how guitars from the `50`s and `60`sre still all we even need.
Norm is in Super good shape. Wouuhh, it's great to see him like that !
No kidding. Wow, did he (and we) have a really bad scare with his health a year or two ago. Looking good, Norm. All the best.
What a beauty and what a player! Absolutely amazing.
LEAPPIN' LEMMO, Way to play Michael, Thanks, great set that one.
The most essential electric guitar!
You are correct Mr. Lemmo. You've never played a Nocaster on GOTD. Three have been featured in the past, but they all were recent reissues. Brandon did a CS B-bender, Jack Ryan did a CS NOS, and you did a CS in Lake Placid Blue. Nice to see the real thing come through the shop. Sounds great.

Turn it up! Awesome set Michael! Told you it would be alright! I’ll bet it was fun! Awesome video Jen! Thank you!
I would love to be able to play like Lemmo for a day. Beautiful guitar!
Same year as me but in better shape... Thanks Lemmo!
Lovely cover of E.R.
MY GOD why does that guitar sound so good?! It's almost like a different instrument. Incredible.
I agree, it sounds like I'm in some 3D surrounding craziness, but I'm guessing it's really this dude and his crazy skills making it sound that good, but it does sound like he's playing a different instrument. Maybe it is the guitar, I don't know, I've never heard something sound quite like this.
That might be one helluva guitar, but Lemmo is one helluva player too. This sounds just glorious.
😎🎸👍🏽🇺🇸 NORM You look better than I’ve seen you in months
Damn I could listen to this for hours
Hell ya! That was fun! Let that Old Soul flow Lemmo!!👏👏👏👍👍
Absolutely , the Broadcaster Nocaster first Telecaster is what it is all about!!!...
And the Esquire even before the Broadcaster! Yes, the very first blackguards were called Esquires in one and insanely rare two-pickup versions. Very, very quickly the two pickup model was renamed Broadcaster. But, the Esquire came first as documented by the serious Fender historians like Richard Smith (and others) who have published books.
It's a gem !
Awesome demo, I’ve come back a handful of times to hear this man play again
That jazzy intro was heavenly. Then Michael turns it into a balls to the wall screamer. What a beauty!

Incredibile strumento👏👏👏
Nice job Michael. THAT was Incredible !
SWEET, lemmo better than entire Beatles
I assume the new buyer's initials are J.B.?
Was thinking the same thing not only because I already seen the video with him with it.
It’s Jack Black
Or J.5.
Or V. G.
Yes, Jeff Bezos
⚓️ Thanks Jen Mike 😎 NORM !!!

You can sell a thousand guitars with that kind of playing🔥🔥
That Eleanor Rigby is too rad.
They are making them so damn good now can't tell what's what..
That was great Lemmo!!!
4:09 - don't know
5:07 - Eleanor Rigby (The Beatles)
06:50 onwards - don't know
4:09 - Naima, John Coltrane
6:50 - Whole lotta love, Led Zeppelin?
Nice guitar playing! On a very cool guitar.
It fills the quota for Tuesday, ladies and gents.
Damn 😎outstanding-tasteful playing & what a cool guitar!
greetings from Henryk & Bernd...Germany...Love it...
Awesome video! Michael needs to do his guitar collection!
Wow….great playing Michael! Love it.
Good to see Norman feeling good! Go keto..no sugar or bread. Lemmo rawks! Swmming in Fender reverb like a champ!
Great job, you always do them older babies justice like no other!
Great performance! Doing that guitar proud.
Excellent Eleanor rendition Mike!
Lemmo you rock dude! Dammm! 🤘🏻🔥
Wow! Thanks for letting us hear what this guitar sounds like. Great demo! We needed a shot of the pedal board though! What distortion pedal was used?
Groovy historical guitar. Built 2 years before I came down the chute.
lol!
Smithsonian ready example, fully functional. Lemmo’s a fine curator.
Norm- the most significant feature of the Nocaster is the blend pot, instead of a tone control. This let you blend in any amount of neck pickup when you selected the bridge pickup. Fender did this thru Spring 1952 and it was his best idea- ever. I'm must say, it is a crime to replace original frets with anything other than original sized frets:(
Complete tosh.
Awesome!
so good
Wow, that dark jazz tone.😂🎉😊
wow....this is the one...
Thank you
Wow..... 🎸😎... Sweet stuff
beautiful!
Brilliant. Period
Leo got it right the first time although I enjoy my Strats. Nice playing for sure !! 🙏🎶🎵☕🎸👀❗
Beatles Number！Nice
Lemmo sure does kick ass when he wants too.
Amazing….Beautiful sounding guitar- great job Lemmo!
Naima
Elenor rigby. Holy shit that was amazing!
Telecaster my favorite
Amazing tone from both the NC and the Fender SR, but is he running through a pedalboard too?
Norm, you're looking well.
That 'dark tone' was just sooooo dusky.🖤
Wow, I'm sure it is 95% the incredible player vs. the guitar, in this case and most any case, but the two combined on that Eleanor Rigby was some hot hot stuff. Wow.
Damn john 5 moves quick!
Ha! But I think he has his dream lineup of Broadcaster/Nocaster/Tele already.
Lemmo does it justice..like Nocaster business..Led Zepplin, Jimmy Page iconic sonic riff...love it.All the best to Norm.!!!!
Some serious playing during Eleanor Rigby.
Wonder what a piece line this would cost
Maybe Fender should bring back the the no caster with original sound and design
I imagine Norms is a great place to work and all, but why isn’t Lemmo in Nashville doing sessions or out touring. I would think that he has offers coming from all over for his guitar work. The No Caster is really sweet by the way.
It is strange, be like a guy good enough to play in Major League Baseball working at a sports store
Run your own life.
