I have an '80 black Dean Z Flame, they came stock with Grovers, DiMarzio SDs, the only thing I did right off was put a Schaller roller saddle bridge on it, broke too many strings at the bridge, cured it. I've swapped pickups a few times over the years but I intend to reinstall them. Mine needs a refret very badly, but I don't want to ruin the binding. 1 badass guitar, it was my only one for a very long time, once in a while I'd grab something else but they didn't have "it". I had an early Dean Baby ML for a number of years, 1 pu, Leo Quan badass style wraparound bridge, finally gave it to a good friend who was in love with it. Moved on to some other axes, but the Dean will rise again. Great playing & tones Mike, I can hear "it" right away.
For sure. Dean Zelinsky of suburban Chicago (Highland Park) and Hamer (also from the area) came on strong in the late '70s to steal tons of Gibson's thunder, and rightfully so. Killer stuff.
This guy knocks me for a 6 every time he touches a guitar.....so frikken awesome, The Lemmo Wizard will never let you down. Love and blessings from darkest Africa, South. Limpopo province. Hi Jen...🥰🥰😁😁
Go$h I wish I could get into London Town a bit more often, they have the best guitar shops ever...ALL IN ONE STREET! I would implore any guitar 🎸 fan to go take a look, just off Soho/Leicester Square. Best Street in the world 🌎!!!
The GOTD guitars usually sell easily by phone calls to the store, hence Norm saves himself the Reverb fees. Only if a GOTD guitar doesn’t sell after a few weeks or months does it ever show up on Reverb.
just need some percussion and some backing singers I am sure that you guys at Norms Rare Guitars can make that happen in your own sweet time, would love to see and hear that some day soon, play on.
This guitar has some serious MOJO JANGLE ON IT 👍 Cranked it up on the Altec Lansing speakers...if the house is rockin...dont bother knocking 😅👊 Lemmo was rocking it. Outstanding sounded awesome. I predict This one 🎸 will be gone quick ! 👍💯🎯🎸🎶✌
I remember Dean hawking these around Chicago music stores back in the late 70's. I think the pickups are DiMarzio super distortions. You should keep this guitar, Mike. You seem to be at one with it.
Maybe the best distorted neck pickup ever on this channel! Sounded full and amazing!
4 songs on a 3-way switch! You know Lemmo is feeling it when he does an extra tune!
I have watched them all.. this the best. By far the greatest jam lemmo has performed.. young man.. you rock.
It's all about the tone! Lemmo plays every guitar just great. 😁
Metalhead Michael!! Never ceases to amaze!!
Bruh, either buy this right now… or… give us more… what an ace! Love this guitar
This is one of the best episodes ever. Killer guitar, killer playing.
I had a Dean Z in tobacco burst . I wish I never sold it. It was a beast. The one that got away. I bought it in 1980.
Absolutely sick playing.
The finish on that guitar is just incredible. It sounds alright too!!!
Love it. Cool guitar. Love teles, strats, LPs, etc but good to see you mix it up once in a while.
That guitar sounds amazing ! The playing as brilliant as ever 👍✌️
This machine rocks !🤩
Lemo on Fire today!
Mike - you're playing is amazing! Come play in Dallas!
Lemmo's on Fire! 🔥
Sweet!! Krazy good! Michael rocks it!
That was awesome! Great playing!👍🏻

Great job guys!!! That Dean rocks. I’m very tempted to call about this one. I’m sure it will sell fast.
Always cool to hear Lemmo rocking sharp dressed man :) its his 3rd time as I can remember. Nice guitar!
I have this guitar!
Cool guitar, but Lemmo’s versatility is INCREDIBLE!!!
Didn't even know Dean go back that far...what a beast
For sure. Dean Zelinsky of suburban Chicago (Highland Park) and Hamer (also from the area) came on strong in the late '70s to steal tons of Gibson's thunder, and rightfully so. Killer stuff.
That looks like a very comfortable fretboard/neck ... that's just the impression I had looking at it.
wow
I'd love to have one of these or an old Hamer guitar , those deans are killer guitars
Absolutely. When I picked up the guitar in 1977/78, Dean and Hamer were stealing tons of Gibson's thunder. Never owned one, but this is great.
Sick Michael just sick!
Love seeing something different in guitars!!! Nice job Lemmo.
Saw Michael in Fenders latest Jazzmaster custom shop special😉
They probably screwed a rotating plate on the back to pull off a zztop move 😂😂
I think you’re right
What a beast
I can dig it!
Great player…outstanding musician !!
That is a good sounding guitar, looks like a fun player
Wicked cool!
Sounds great
9:00 best entrance ever
This guy knocks me for a 6 every time he touches a guitar.....so frikken awesome, The Lemmo Wizard will never let you down. Love and blessings from darkest Africa, South.
Limpopo province. Hi Jen...🥰🥰😁😁
I visited the store from the UK in Feb 2019, and I have a picture of the old Dean Z you mentioned you had before this one haha
Man that thing looks and sounds amazing. Glad to see something other than Gibson or fender. Great playing as always!!! 🤘🏽
Glad to see Lemmo moving on from his elevator music phase !
Wow that thing rips!
Those back holes... maybe they tried to fit a ZZ Top type spinner thing on there.
That neck pickups sounds killer
Hell yeah 🎸😈
At 5.18 the bend reminded me of early Brian May tone. Wonderful stuff.
I'm obsessed with Explorers, love it when ya'll feature 'em
That ones got some mojo. ✌️
1- sharp dressed man
2- jamie's cryin'
3- you really got me
#3 - you really got me
Yup. Don't feel bad, I thought the first one was Cat Scratch Fever; Wishful thinking, lol😂☘️
#4 Rock N' Roll Hoochie Coo
@@musicfan8253 ah! good catch... my apologies
sounds killer
Jen - They we're rocking. Michael - You don't have a choice - LOL
Mike Lemmo Pennsylvania Philadelphia is your home goes to California and gets on TH-cam tv!
Go$h I wish I could get into London Town a bit more often, they have the best guitar shops ever...ALL IN ONE STREET! I would implore any guitar 🎸 fan to go take a look, just off Soho/Leicester Square. Best Street in the world 🌎!!!
Rock on11GO FLYERS!!!
Nice guitar 👍
Imo the metal “v” plate combined with the headstock makes this look just slightly better than a gibson explorer
Verry nice
A real nice ragged cutting sound
Are those Seymour Duncan's Super Distortions?
(:
Go Flyers Mike!
Not usually a fan of Dean guitars but this one does peak my interest! Maybe it's just the playing! However! Gotta do a Maton!
Does this one have the triangular neck shape ?
What's the price? I don't see the guitar on their website or reverb page.
The GOTD guitars usually sell easily by phone calls to the store, hence Norm saves himself the Reverb fees. Only if a GOTD guitar doesn’t sell after a few weeks or months does it ever show up on Reverb.
Whats the last song?
Os, I do believe it was That Smell, Lynyrd Skynyrd.
@@lancetrgina210 Yess, thanks a lot.
I really thought it was Rock Box by Run DMC
Rock Box sounds pretty close. I was going by the style of the guitar as it was used by Lynyrd Skynyrd also.
@@lancetrgina210 It does make more sense!
just need some percussion and some backing singers I am sure that you guys at Norms Rare Guitars can make that happen in your own sweet time, would love to see and hear that some day soon, play on.
How much in sterling posted to Scotland?
Dean needs to make the cool stuff again.
They do!
🍀was literally looking at a set neck Z the other day, brand new.
They still got the grit.
Using amp gain or the EVH stomp box?
🤘🏼
if u guys have any bc richs from the 70s mind doing one of those? Would male for a fun video!
This guitar has some serious MOJO JANGLE ON IT 👍 Cranked it up on the Altec Lansing speakers...if the house is rockin...dont bother knocking 😅👊
Lemmo was rocking it. Outstanding sounded awesome. I predict This one 🎸 will be gone quick !
👍💯🎯🎸🎶✌
Sustain much? That's one nice sounding axe! (at least it is in your hands - LOL)
Cool guitar... Cooler player.
Lemmo is really Albert Lee.!
Time to put a Marshall by the couch Norm
anyone know what this one sold for?
I remember Dean hawking these around Chicago music stores back in the late 70's. I think the pickups are DiMarzio super distortions. You should keep this guitar, Mike. You seem to be at one with it.
Dean and Hamer came on strong in the late '70s and really became a major alternative to Gibson. I was a Chicagoan at that time, too.
yes sir finaly plys Deans guitar dean ml plys
Those holes for attaching a SPIN DEVICE LIKE ZZTOP
They sound good clean too, when you pick one up you're forced to shred!
Traded a dean z for a bass in my younger years, she was the one that got away...
The neck looks skinnier than the arm of the wife beater who attacked Kyle (on video) and got his bicep blown off.
macam mana nak buat?
Didnt one of Kansas play Dean? A,lso Michael Schenker
Hell yeah. The Doobies, Heart, Dimebag, Rik Emmett, Sammy Hagar, etc., etc., etc.
Man it's like this kid digs Van Halen or something
Sustain for days
Remember those Dean's. Friends had those.
ZZ top spinner is what those holes are.
Ha I thought the same I’m surprised they were able to get all the fur and feathers off lol.
damn
__Heavy_Metal__
Man this things been ok here like 4 times I think haha
Can you image Lemmo's face when he first discovered the looper pedal?
Marcy A. what??? Happened here? Who was first?
Buckle rash plate for rockers who sport about on stage with lots of jagged jewelry.
Don’t really like the guitar… but he plays amazingly good!
Every girl’s crazy about a sharp dressed man
I’d love to be Lemmo’s neighbor. Wait… maybe not.
Sure would be nice to hear some clean tones on this demo 🤷
The cars had that guitar
