The comments on here are funny. We're talking about a #22 broadcaster here... even if he scratched it up a bit it wouldn't decrease its value... even gouged up this guitar would retain and gain in value. Above all, it's a rock&roll icon and is meant to be played.
Yes! Thank you..I have an old Les Paul. Never wipe it down(except the strings). The funk is in the gunk..EastNashvilleSessionMan's opinion. Just an opinion..

Hey Mark, I love Tele Tuesday's, gotta be the best day of the week ! also enjoy your playing. Just one suggestion for all us plank addicts out here more details ! y'know fretboard radius, neck shape, tuners, bridge saddles etc. Thanks
Tell him I want it back, I was in the process of moving and had my things stored in that barn, when I went back to get them, my guitar along with 1962 Princeton amp was gone. Tell him I'll pay him for the labor and parts ' also tell him I'd like to have the original parts back.
The second this video started the first thing that popped into my head was "please don't tell me you're gonna play that with the jacket on." Sure enough, he's playing it with the jacket on. It's nearly impossible not to have a cringe-worthy moment when watching any video related to this shop.
I'm shocked that this dude does not even realize the 50 Broadcaster has a blender control instead of a tone control. One of the best ever inventions by Leo Fender and the dude doesn't even know it:(
I’m not surprised though. I’m pretty sure that was only on the broadcaster, of which ~250 were built. It isn’t a very common thing, so I wouldn’t be shocked.
He doesn't explain it right but this guitar has the "vintage wiring" where the 3-way switch chooses the bridge pickup (back position), the neck pickup (middle position), or the neck pickup through a large capacitor (front position). "Modern wiring" is how Teles are wired today: neck, bridge or both together.
Not only that, they were 1968 models, the first with POLY (not NITRO) finishes!! Jimi used to play on older NITRO finished stratocasters, which are considered better, and worth considerably more money, yet he preferred the polyester finished ones - maybe because the finish was more durable, and felt "glassy" (neck)...?
In seated position for a quick 10 minute play would not mark it. It's when your standing and moving around a stage performing is where a guitar gets rash, so don't panic as he would have had no movement or pressure on the guitar. :)
Yea, it proves that people are just like sheep. I read the comments at these videos all the time, and nobody says anything about zippers, rings, rough playing, etc. But at this particular video everybody is blabbing about it.
It's crazy to me how this layout barely changed 74 years later... Guitar players are weird. I would never take a blocky S-S tele with vintage bridge, but I know tons of people who would! My favorite evolved tele is the ESP "The Eclipse" Custom, the same Tele Izzy Stradlin used in the Sweet Child o' Mine music video.
These guitars are revered and coveted merely for their historical/antique value. If someone is saying that they have some kind of voodoo superior sound, then they are hitting the pipe a little too hard. My 2012 American Special leaves this tonal turd in the dust when it comes to sonic prowess. But that's not to say that it's not still a super badass and groovy guitar, which is also an irriplaceable piece of human history.
Maafa 1619 THe resonance of the wood has nothing to do with an amplified guitar. Also, the 60 year old pickup sounds like it does because the magnets have lost their strength. This can be duplicated by just using weak magnets in a modern wound pickup.
+Maafa 1619 It picks up on the taps because the pickups act as a microphone. To say that this would pick on the subtleties of the resonance of the wood is a different matter entirely.
Non-trussrod necks were only on the earliest-of-the-earliest guitars, and there were very, very few before Don Randall of Fender Sales insisted that Leo put in trussrods. This Broadcaster DOES have a trussrod as evidenced by the skunk-stripe down the back of the neck which can be easily seen when Mark is showing the back of the guitar.
Dreadflower True about the non-sequential part, although the Gilmour 0001 Strat is not black. It's Desert Sand-ish or possibly a faded one-off custom color with an anodized gold pickguard. Regarding Broadcaster 0022, however, although it almost certainly is not the the 22nd one made, Broadcasters are in such rarified air in general because so few were produced, plus they were (are) such historic instruments, too. Add a super-low serial number to all that and the whole package is just beyond cool.
blo p the Neck and bridge are both single coil pickups. But unlike later telecasters the wiring is different. In the back position is the bridge pickup. However, Broadcasters and Nocasters don’t have a tone control, the tone knob is actually a blend control. The tone knob at 0 is bridge only, and the knob at 10 blends both pickups. In the middle is neck pickup alone. In the front position is the neck pickup with a capacitor, providing a bassy tone, which many people consider useless but is good for jazz and blues. The volume knob works normally like a standard Telecaster.
I'm gunna try forget that this person....juggled a very rare guitar one handed to demonstrate its light weight, along w playing this beauty while wearing a large zippered jacket. I did however like the black crowes song.
Hey shithead: he wears that jacket in every video, and he plays music like this in every video. The only reason you made that comment is that you noticed fifty other person have already made a similar comment, and you're a sheep
I recently learned that like most things, pickups age. The circuitry wears somehow, changing the sound over time. So when this guitar was new it probably didn't sound like this, and when today's guitars are 70 years old, they will sound different.
2:59 "You don't get a lot out of that neck pickup" LOL!!! If you knew how to actually play guitar you'd get a lot out of that neck pickup. Get back on the neck pickup, roll off the tone just a tad, and play a vi-ii-V-I in Ebmaj. The result will be velvet and butter!
Great sounding guitar! One thing no one ever seems to mention is that just like the old strats, on the teles w old school wiring if you just work the toggle between the bridge and middle position you can still get the 2 pickup combo tone. Everyone always gives u bridge, neck, and then complains about the lo pass filtered setting, but the dual pickup tone is still in there.
Most likely, if you eased that switch into the first notch spot (no detente), you would get both PUPs on, out-of-phase ... And gee ... my wardrobe could work at Rare Norman's!
So he’s wearing a leather jacket, so what? It’s not as if he’s smashing the thing against a brick wall. Clearly he knows what he’s doing. Stop being so precious.
Holy fuck, I love this one, how expensive is it? I just saw a John 5 guitar collection video, he has a Broadcaster and he payed a shitload of money for his guitar.
I love how when he takes this extremely rare guitar out of the case and basically juggles it in his hand like it was a plank of plywood.
Because that's basically what it is.

yeah he is a butcher

He went to work for Gibson, remember? :-)
Such a sophisticated instrument for its time. I'd be tweaking out of my mind just to play one of those rare beauties.
Love how they tuned it in open G and went straight to play some Black Crowes
Just wow, what an incredible sound,absolutely stunning guitar
Nice to hear it through an appropriate vintage tweed amp , sounds great
Yes I questioned that too. I was waiting for him to smack the headstock into the shelving.
Best I can do with these zipper scratches on it is $100 cash

A luthier I know brought one back to life that was found in a barn. I think he said it was #0051. Very cool!

If I ever win the lottery I will buy a guitar from Norman and it will be the best.
Awesome! Great Keef-esque playing as well!
That’s not how I would’ve demoed this fine vintage and historic guitar.
One too many strings to play Keith.
Leather jacket- goes right to his Village people gig so doesnt have time to change
Forget the zippers, this guy generally handles vintage guitars and thier cases like farm animals...
Yeah he is a butcher
Plays em like they're meant to be played!
He handles them like they're musical instruments. If you don't like it, buy the thing and place it on an overstuffed pillow in a glass display case.

Such a raw power sounding guitar..
Wow wow..
Pine body Telecaster is a real gem..
Really speaks and clear..
All the same old blues lick reverberating in the background... Makes me smile though.
I miss the black crows, damn, just remembered black crows with jimmy page, great fuckin band!!!
Very woody/heavy/dark sounding. Great guitar! I would pay A LOT more for this guitar if only if i were closer...
cool historical equipment. sounds great.
Great vid, I'd love to see some more guitars from the back.
I like that group of Rickenbackers on the floor..!
This was the golden era of guitar of the day
Lol nah. Lemmo is 100x the player Mark is. People used to come just to see the guitars. Now they come just to hear Lemmo play.

Awesome guitar!
it's just another old guitar, it's not the guitar it's the guitarist. jimi played his greatest music on CBS strats !
yup..totally!!
Nothing wrong with a CBS strat lol

Smart move playing All Down the Line on this guitar. Good matchup, underrated. Best drink, fight, and fuck song.

Open G tuning---that's why you hear Crowes Twice as Hard and Stones All Down the Line---they sounded awesome!
beautiful Guitar
I love this channel. Wish they'd post prices, though

Fender serial numbers are not sequential. Dave Gilmore's black strat is #0001 according to the stamp but is not the first made!

wish fender made pick ups today that sound like this. for some reason they just dont have this tone.

song of 3:13 is "All Down the Line" by "Rolling Stones"
