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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Amazing Eleanor Rigby version! Great sounding guitar! That distorted sound is so heavenly.
Hands down, best demo I’ve ever seen! Thanks for giving that ax the respect she deserves!!
Good lord…..Lemmo is one of the greatest players of all time!!!
"It's not second best, but it's better than first best"
I love it Norm!
Incredible version of Elanor Rigby!
What a beauty and what a player! Absolutely amazing.
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.
Now that`s a demo! Amazing how guitars from the `50`s and `60`sre still all we even need.
The most essential electric guitar!
😎🎸👍🏽🇺🇸 NORM You look better than I’ve seen you in months
LEAPPIN' LEMMO, Way to play Michael, Thanks, great set that one.
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.

Turn it up! Awesome set Michael! Told you it would be alright! I’ll bet it was fun! Awesome video Jen! Thank you!
SWEET, lemmo better than entire Beatles
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.
Same year as me but in better shape... Thanks Lemmo!
That jazzy intro was heavenly. Then Michael turns it into a balls to the wall screamer. What a beauty!
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.
Incredibile strumento👏👏👏
I would love to be able to play like Lemmo for a day. Beautiful guitar!
⚓️ Thanks Jen Mike 😎 NORM !!!
That might be one helluva guitar, but Lemmo is one helluva player too. This sounds just glorious.
Lovely cover of E.R.
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
Damn I could listen to this for hours
Norm ... and Michael Lemmo ! AND a NoCaster ! Now that's living ~
Nice job Michael. THAT was Incredible !

Fantastic! What a great musician 👏 👌 🙌
Fantastic guitar work...!!
I’m stunned!
Leo Fender was and always will be a genius.
Happy to see Norm looking well!
It fills the quota for Tuesday, ladies and gents.
Awesome demo, I’ve come back a handful of times to hear this man play again
You can sell a thousand guitars with that kind of playing🔥🔥
Sweet Eleanor Rigby! Well done
Wow….great playing Michael! Love it.
Yeah, this one is gonna be big. Lemmo just SMOKIN' it 🔥👍❤
Great job, you always do them older babies justice like no other!
Eleanor Rigby with a Nocaster on a Super Reverb! Man, you are a genius 😎
my favorite guitar 🎸 💙
love watchin and listening to this youngster play. The guitars are cool, as well!!

Complete tosh.

Wow, that dark jazz tone.😂🎉😊
That was great Lemmo!!!
Excellent Eleanor rendition Mike!
Awesome video! Michael needs to do his guitar collection!
Lemmo you rock dude! Dammm! 🤘🏻🔥
Groovy historical guitar. Built 2 years before I came down the chute.
lol!
Great sound and great player who knows how to get the best sound out of this beatuful Tele
wow....this is the one...
Good to see Norman feeling good! Go keto..no sugar or bread. Lemmo rawks! Swmming in Fender reverb like a champ!
so good
Wow..... 🎸😎... Sweet stuff
Smithsonian ready example, fully functional. Lemmo’s a fine curator.
Beatles Number！Nice
Damn 😎outstanding-tasteful playing & what a cool guitar!
Thank you
greetings from Henryk & Bernd...Germany...Love it...
beautiful!
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?
Nice guitar playing! On a very cool guitar.
Brilliant. Period
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.
Amazing….Beautiful sounding guitar- great job Lemmo!
Naima
Lemmo sure does kick ass when he wants too.
That 'dark tone' was just sooooo dusky.🖤
Leo got it right the first time although I enjoy my Strats. Nice playing for sure !! 🙏🎶🎵☕🎸👀❗
Damn john 5 moves quick!
Ha! But I think he has his dream lineup of Broadcaster/Nocaster/Tele already.
Elenor rigby. Holy shit that was amazing!
Amazing tone from both the NC and the Fender SR, but is he running through a pedalboard too?
Maybe Fender should bring back the the no caster with original sound and design
Telecaster my favorite
Fantastic demo Lemmo !!! What an amazing axe !!! Thank you Norm and Jen !!!
Norm, you're looking well.
Some serious playing during Eleanor Rigby.
Oh, BTW it was renamed as a Telecaster a little bit later.
Very nice demonstration of the versatility of this early Fender! 😁👏👏👏
Lemmo Fucking shreds. Love that man.
The bridge and bridge pickup of this Telecaster (as it's now called) even included a Metal cover to protect them.
