Lemmo plays the most beautiful, musical, inspiring demos here in YT land in my opinion. Highly underrated player.
Agreed. His technique and range of styles is mind blowing.
That ending got me on loop mode
He developed a great style with hard work its a unique sound.
How is he underrated ffs
Oh man. What a guitar and what a bit of playing. Definitely up there with one of the best ever demos. Killer!
i’m not the biggest fan of gretsch guitars, but lemmo makes anything and everything sound amazing. not to mention how that finish has held up over time, looks nearly brand new. definitely a special piece
For an almost 70 year old *white* guitar, that thing looks incredible.
I'm a tele man through and through but I think I just fell hard for this absolutely beautiful hunk of wood, the tone of this beauty is just devastatingly awesome.
No offence and even though a lot of my guitar heros/faves played teles I despise them immensely.
Even my fave Solar Guitars have a T and i know it’s gonna be stellar especially with Solar’s take on it ?
Naa.
Not for me.
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
The first bit shows how you don't need twang to make a Gretsch sound great. Nice playing as always Lemmo.
What a beauty and I’m talking about the guitar! But Lemmo plays it beautifully!
Something about this demo is special. Stands out. Subtle. Artful.
The White Penguin: Sacred bird of prey!
:-)
Seriously, a Dream Guitar.
Quite possibly the best guitar of the day ever.
Totally agree!!
That guitar is magical. Excellent musicianship too.
Great guitar but greater guitarist.
Total respect to this amazing musician.
You bring class to even the Gretch! Mikey can play, huh? Yes sirry
Thank you Michael!
Wonderful to hear such a beautiful guitar, played so beautifully! Thank you!
Absolutely an amazing guitar, and who better than Lemo to explore the tone possibilities....you the Man Micheal✌️
Great guitar great demo Lemmo, ! Thank you Norm and Jen !
Awesome playing my friend. Beautiful tones displayed. Very inspiring. Thanks
Beautiful Mike. Tears of joy
Beauty Demo, sound and playing. Well done!
Fine sounding Gretsch with such lovely understated guitar for a Sunday morning when I should be in church! So glad Norm is looking so well and strong! Thank God we old guys keep-a-going ...
Jesus Lemmo, you are a freakin virtuoso...always amazing, there aren't many guys out here who can play such a wide range of genres with such skill and soul.
Beautiful playing.
WOOOOOOW. What a sound.... Great playing Michael... Fantastic Amp. Clear but warm and complex.
Beautiful playing Michael!! Nice guitar too!🎉😊
Gorgeous guitar and gorgeous playing
Look at mikey showing off that right hand with his finger picking and playing with a pick at the same time , nice work Michael. Hey someone call Brian, he may be interested in that Gretsch. 🤘🏼
Michael you sure can play those strings man. And Jen captures it all. Thanks so much ❤️
Amazing as always, Lemmo!
Its hard to say I'd want this setup over a new car, but still would be a close choice!
Great demo of that incredibly cool and beautiful guitar.
Wonderful guitar & wonderful playing..bravo !
Great!!! Old as me and in better shape.
Always steered clear of Gretches,,,,,maybe it was the gal on the cover of 'The Popular Chet Atkins'. I was like 5 in '62.
Annette i loved,,,,this gal scared me away.
ha, i never had the chops but Lemmo does.
Rock on!
It’s been a while since I’ve closed my eyes, listening. I usually try to see the licks….wow.
Wow guys that’s beautiful. What a survivor!!
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
what a amazing guitar thanks Norm
this player is unbelievably good
Rare and beautiful one..cool demo👍
What was that second tune he played? This guys playing is SO inspiring
Nicely done❤
Great Playing Michael!!!
Beautiful GreTsch...incredible playing!
oh wow!!! it's Amazing!❤❤❤❤❤
I’m not gonna lie I own one of the replicas but Michael put me in a trance I was doing stuff but had to sit watch and listen. I was mad when the video was over! We need to keep this in the shoo for him to play more
This dude is my favorite living guitar player. Absolute monster.
You guys have so much fun. love yer
Wow, the hybrid picking section around 6:00 onward is next level.
sooooo mellow sounding. shout out to that hybrid picking on the last cut
Nice combination especially by one so gifted on the guitar.
That tone! Good lordie!
It has a very unique sound
Some of the best plating bro. Beautiful
I believe that White Penguin is stereo. The bridge pickup has no polepieces on the bass side, and the neck pickup has no polepieces on the treble side. With a stereo cord and two amplifiers, and the output selector (the switch on the cutaway) in the correct position, you’ll have the bass strings coming through one amp and the treble strings coming through the other. I’ll bet Chet Atkins suggested that! What the other position(s) on the switch do I don’t know-obviously one is mono, because that’s the way Michael’s playing it. Sounds great! And stereo Penguins are even rarer than mono ones.
The essence of cool...would look great next to my white falcon!!!!
Wow! Talk about a holy grail guitar. Stupid rare too. It’s so cool to see these type of guitars turn up out of the blue.
Great songs, Lemmo.
Wonderful playing my man
Thanks. Cool review......
An inspirational performance by Lemmo. An interesting guitar. Kind of on the heavier side but nicely contrasted by that ebony fretboard and pickups
That's a really great guitar.
Dude lemmo crushing extra today
Loved Michael’s playing! Made that Gretch sound like a million bucks! Thanks Lemmo! For the sweet and tasteful playing! The camera work was excellent great zooms and close ups thanks Jenn! You guys are the best!
Nice melodies man ;)
Wow 👌
This is an incredible guitar -- Norm is so understated. There are fewer than 50 white penguins, even fewer with a Bigsby. This is probably a $200k+ guitar!
How many holy grails does Norm have ? Sheesh !
On ya Rockabilly Mike🎸🎸
I think this is the first White pinguin they’ve ever done
awesome👍👋
Wow 😱
Awsome thats what happens whit practice.
Back in '73, I found one of these in a pawn shop for $350. However; I was a poor college student and couldn't even manage $3.50........
i love lemmo repping philly all the time so much
So bad you don't mike the amp with such beatiful guitars and Lemmo playing..
Randy Bachman had a huge collection of Gretch guitars. Nice sound
Beautiful guitar, but Rockabilly Mike is fast becoming one of my favourite players
would really like to hear mike push that amp to the edge of breakup with the danish Pete pedal... Good job lemmo.
Been loving hearing that last piece lemmo played. A tab anywhere?
nice sounding axe, smoooth as yer like.
thank you its a fab axe.
I agree with them I love the simple playing
I shudder to think what it's price will be!
Gretsch guitars are freakin cool. Definitely don't get the recognition they deserve. Lemmo kicked ass on this one
wow
YES!!!!!!!
God bless ya!

White Penguin, only seen em in books.

I say more than that
usually see the penguines from 80 to 150k@@Eric-nn9xf

Lovely playing ! What exact Rivera amp is this ? Sounds so good even at low volume !
Bleed to love her
Wish I had the talent in Lemmo's pinky,
Lemmo at his best.
Is there a modern reissue or equivalent given I can’t afford this beauty.
Nice playing Mr Lemmo.
Cheers from NZ 😎🎸🤘
They do still make them and they are unfeasibly beautiful
@@timdunn2344 thx man
Cheers
Yes, its called the gretsch vintage select 58 penguin, built exactly like the old one
@@JohnnyFriendly thx.
Beautiful playing! What’s that tuning and first song you played.
Blue suede
I hear less than 50 were made. Which makes them rarer than original Gibson les Paul Bursts. David Gilmour had an original white penguin.

The star of the show here is actually the player. The Penguin is still cool, though.
This is a Project-O-Sonic stereo version. That's why the pole pieces are only on half of each pickup and there is a selector switch where there is usually a master volume pot. The two other selectors are both three-way tone selectors ("mud switches"), one for each pickup. These guitars have more tonal flexibility when run in stereo, but you can get a clear trebly tone in mono with both tone selectors in the middle position.
Isn’t one of those switches the pickup selector?
@@jfinester No. As mentioned, the paired switches are three-way tone controls, one for each pickup. The other switch routes the signal in three ways: both pickups through one amp; both pickups through two amps; "bass" (neck) pickup through one amp and "treble" (bridge) pickup through a second amp for true stereo. The two pickups function like one big split pickup; there is no selecting between them in the usual manner. You can dial down one or the other with the volume pots, or modify the volume and tone of each at their respective amps.
SENOR LEMMO what a great guitarista! Very KEWEL GITTAR as well!!!
This one sounds dark. I wonder if the tone switch has been messed with…in the middle position there shouldn’t be any treble rolloff.
Still, a super rare guitar!
You know yt compresses the sound don’t you?
I think they recorded the Amp with bad mic-position/angle. So we can't hear the true treble of the guitar here on YT.
@@mattmorris2867 Yes, I do. I’m comparing what I’m hearing from this guitar to loads of other demos from Norm’s YT channel and also from my own experience playing & listening to Gretsch guitars with Filter’trons.
@@davidkieltyka9Theres so many variables that you really need to hear it in person. As with any guitar.
