    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.

    • @anthonyc1883
      @anthonyc1883 Рік тому

      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.

    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.

      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.

    @kenbash2951 Рік тому +1

    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:(

  • @karijohartmann2649
    @karijohartmann2649 9 днів тому

    A lot of people aren't aware of this, but the original dark tone settjng on these whether intentional or not, was used by many C&W and Blues bands as an ad hoc BASS GUITAR... using the VERY CHUBBY strings as they did back in the early 50s, they made a very fine bass for many bands that didn't have the ability to amplify a doghouse... this may have been the impetus to make the original P BASS, as the same was true of the Broadcaster. Additionally, these early blondies would also often be played as lap steels, as the pickup was a dead ringer for the early fender lap steels, which were more popular and known than the broadcasters... so surprisingly few people actually strapped these on as guitars back in those days.

  • @jfinester
    @jfinester Рік тому

    Great playing, Mr. Lemmo! I love your version of Eleanor Rigby, and the Zep tunes were, dare I say, better than Jimmy Page. That Nocaster is exactly the same shade of blonde as the ‘50s Tele I had in the ‘70s. I always called it a ‘59, because that was the date on the neck. However, it had a black pickguard, and was set up to be either a toploader or strings-thru-body. I always ran the strings through the body. The saddles were the steel threaded ones, totally rusted out, so I replaced them with brass ones. I always suspected that the neck and bridge were not original to the body, but they were ‘59 parts. The body-who knows? I couldn’t find a body date. I figured it was a ‘59, but then there was that black pickguard, with the paint-can circle on the underside.
