you know the big money guitars are coming out when Norm does the intro
Yep..Norm was even wearing gloves!
The G chord I've been strumming for years would sound amazing on this thing.
In G tuning?
Dude lemmo is such an INSANE guitarist. Wow. What a guitar.
Lemmo so good he make you wanna practice lol
Brenden Smith and that’s exactly what I did 😂😂☠️
Yes this was really insane, couldn't have said it better!
Dude lemmo makes that guitar sing!
Nothing left of the original! It's a piece of shit at best!
Came for the tele, stayed for the playing.
Lemmo not even wearing a ring when handling this one, that's a valuable guitar!
can't hurt the resell value at this point :)
@@1969MARKETING oh yes you still ca
That grain pattern does, indeed make it instantly recognizable. Back in 1980 when I was a starving college student in Chicago with serious vintage guitar fever there was so little solid info out there. I remember seeing that advertisement photocopied somewhere and thought "That grain pattern is so unique, I wonder where that guitar could be now?" Fantastic!
Nice story.... I am a grad school dropout after one year
@@dustinwilson1981 Aww. Circumstances or just a change of desires?
@@anthonyc1883 I was managing a retail drug store and was miserable and wasn't a fan of counting pills, dealing with customer service, and babysitting kids who didn't care about work ethics. I met a nice younger woman and fell in love. Honestly, I was mentally ill of the college scene and just plain lazy (loss of interest). I wanted to learn guitar and bought a dean flying v (one of the earlier ones) and just couldn't COMPREHEND how Randy Rhoads and Dimebag Darrell played..... And once again gave up. I love the beautiful guitars and how each one is unique. That's what brought me here to Norms Channel....not to mention Lemmos style. But yes, my fever wasn't all that great for guitars, but I learned to appreciate them and the artists that played them. My favorite all time guitarists are Page, SRV, Trower, and even a little Blackmore, Angus can riff as well. That's just a few.
Back in the early 90s, I was a teenager, a drummer and totally into fusion. I had a gig with this guitarist who was a member of the wrecking crew back in the 1960s. Anyway, we performed live with no rehearsal and I knew next to nothing about guitar. He had the usual popular guitars of the day. Mainly a PRS. They all sounded decent. He then picked up this old telecaster with all the paint worn off and my jaw hit the floor when I heard it. I asked him about it afterwards and he told me it was a broadcaster. I politely hinted that he should get rid of his other guitars 😆. I’ll never forget that. That guitar was pure rock & roll. It was magic. I got an education that day.
I am never disappointed in the amazing Lemmo.
He plays every guitar beautifully……
Leo Fender took those photos himself. That guitar literally came from the hands of Leo Fender. Talk about a piece of history!
And Lemmo's playing ain't bad either!
Most pure electric guitar tone I have ever heard
Too cool! I’ve had a blow-up of that catalog photo on my home office wall for at least 25 years. Never expected to actually hear that same instrument.
The whole experience today was magical. Sometimes, a really gifted player like Mr. Lemmo just connects with a guitar, and the result? We just heard it. That thing is an Excalibur with boundless tone.
The distorted tone on the bridge pickup just sounded like American rock to me. Crisp and clear with attitude in spades. Iconic.
Warmest pure tone ever . That tele rings every note in the chord evenly, and the string spacing looks spot on from string to string and from string to frettboard . Guitar of the decade . Santa help . I will be good forever .
If memory serves when the selector is in the front it is the neck pickup with the dark circuit. In the middle it is the neck pickup without the capacitor and in the back position it is both pickups and the tone pot acts as a blend so you can mix the signal from both pickups. At least I think that was what Mark said when he demoed Billy Gibbons' Broadcaster about 2 years ago.
You are absolutely right about the switching. I'm lucky enough to have a Broadcaster (70th ann Custom Shop) and it is true to the original wiring.
@@andyclark2046 I have often thought about getting one but I have never had a chance to play one. How do you like yours? If you search on TH-cam for GOTD Fender Broadcaster you should find the episode from a few years ago where Mark Agnesi demoed one that used to belong to Billy Gibbons. It is the guitar of my dreams and I have always wondered how the reissues measure up to it.
Doesn't get much better than that. Just so much history. Amazing.
That tone with both pups. Jeez. Player gets the tone out for sure. Magical.
I think it's amazing that Norm is donating the entire proceeds of this guitar to the midnight mission.
coolest thing ever! sounds like a dream when Michael plays it.

I can’t wait to see Joe Bonamassa streaming with this next week inevitably.
Lmao
Anybody but him... please don't be that wanker
Ken Gibbens love Joe, but he needs to chill
@@kengibbens5059 agreed
OK as long as he trades some nice in on it. Could be Vince Gill too?
Lemmo is the King of hammer ons and pull offs. Masterful
Good Lord that thing is mighty.
Imagine the smile on Leo's face if he knew that seventy something years later, the very Broadcaster from the first catalogue would be going strong...
Wow that’s amazing guitar, thanks for sharing with us,
🎸
Another one in Nerdville
Billy Gibbons actually 🍻
Either way, this guitar needs someone who will honor it.
Sounded epic, like a ghost was crying out of the instrument at the end. That guitar has so much soul and playing like that does it plenty of justice 👏
Leo's lead-off homerun!
Nice! 🎸
Holy Grail!!!!
Norman is that grandparent we all wanted.
This one was a genuine pleasure to listen to.
THAT is a fantastic axe ! Thanks for sharing Norm ! Way to go Lemmo and thanks Jen ! 😎🎸👍❤
It’s all scuffed up and dinged. Can I get a discount?
Refretted, rewound pickup, new nut, new tuners. I was thinking about offering $50. :)
fender custom shop luthiers will sneeze on a guitar and say, light relic lol
Lemmo, you killed it in this one!
Wow !! totally magical sound and nice playing !!!
Unbelievable sounding guitar and demo. Thanks for sharing this. What a piece of history.
My eyes began to water the moment the case was opened. It's hard to believe anything so utilitarian can sound so incredible. Perfection in simplicity.
So true!!
The greatest guitar ever ever made 1950 Broadcaster by Fender the blonde man with the black heart beats all ask Keith Richards of the Stones and all his pals they agree that’s the best guitar indeed.
Wicked guitar. Unreal playing. What a video.
I love the sound of this instrument! The player was fabulous as well, loved the looping solo he did on the middle switch.
Leo: *designs bolt on neck so guitars never have to be refretted
Players: *refret their Fenders
Wow, what an amazing guitar. Just gobsmacked!
That is one kick-ass guitar, Great demo Lemmo. Hi, Jen, you make my day!!!!
A real piece of the history
From the first note, I wanted to cry. It sounds sooo good.
iNCREDIBLE PLAYING WITH AN INCEDIBLE GUITAR. i JUST DISCOVERED THIS AND i TOTALLY LOVE THIS SOUND. tHIS IS HISTORY AND i CAN EAT THIS UP ALL DAY. mY FATHER & UNCLE PERSONALLY KNEW AND WORKED FOR LEO FENDER AND TALKS ABOUT THIS COMPANY ALL THE TIME. mY COUSIN STILL HAS THE BROADCASTER ALONG WITH SOME OF THE OTHER RARE GUITARS THEY INVENTED. wHAT A GREAT GREAT SOUND.
Super cool!!! Thanks for showing it to us guys👍👍
When you look at that guitar in video.. you can feel that "mojo" coming right through the screen... especially that "clean" sound. Love this! Norm and crew... stay safe out there.

The wood grain is like a fingerprint. Beautiful guitar with amazing history!
Awesome awesome awesome
The guitar went to Bonamassa. I listened to this guy play it and listened to Bonamassa and I hands down like the guy in this video's playing style by a long shot.
Holy hell...that broadcaster sounds AMAZING!
Michael . . . Wow!!! Killer playing on a historical instrument!!
Lemmo’s so good he’s thinking about what he’s going to make for dinner tonight as he’s playing a ‘50 Broadcaster. Bonkers.
Superb playing. Thank you
And they've done very little to augment, let along improve upon, this original design in 71 years. Is there another mass-manufactured product you can say that about? I certainly can't think of one. Life goes on and things are changing (seemingly for the worse) every day, but it's comforting to know that in 2020 a Telecaster is still a Telecaster. To me, it represents America at its best.
💯🍻
Discovering these vintage GOTD eps is a wonderful thing! Always so much fun!
michael your guitar playing is as always amazing. and inpirational..........fab.
Country!!!! country!!
Make it twang !!!!! A Tele needs to twang !!!!!
oh la la - what a special guitar - one of the best in the world! ;)
6:30 That Lead Tone is Smooth as Butter
Holy shit! That sounded good Lemmo! This guitar is beyond cool. Incredible👍👏🤟
WOW! yeah it's pure class. I'm now really looking forward to something special for weird Wednesday & thumping Thursday. A Takimini would be nice for Friday.
One hell of a player and one hell of a guitar, that was awesome

Michael, that was AMAZING! Best cover of Sharp Dressed Man I’ve ever heard.
What an amazing guitar.
I hope the new owner plays it every day.
I know I would.
amazing, simply amazing, what a sound
All those pinch harmonics at the end! *chef's kiss*
Holy mother of god! Such a great guitar! Who knew back in the day this would be one of the greatest guitars ever made! However! Gotta do a Maton!
Sending our love from the Louisiana hurricane zone. Thanks for the great vids!
Amy & Brian, Lake Charles LA!
Just fantastic...
Lemmo really whipped out the Tomo Fujita style on that second tune
Haha I know right. That guy has such a melodic style.

that does sound incredible! que tono mas pritty!
My brother i loved watching you play the broadcaster you are a great player
WOW! Just WOW!
LIVING WITHOUT YOUUUUUUUUU DONT KNOW WHAT I SAID
People are asking questions here in the replies that should be addressed.
1). At first Leo called his guitar the Esquire but soon changed it to Broadcaster. After a letter from Gretsch notifying them that they were already using the name Broadkaster on their drums, Fender started cutting the word off of the headstock decals hence the (nick)name (which came much later) No-caster. Many people just called it the Fender guitar. Finally they renamed it the Telecaster, as television was jus becoming popular with the public.
2). The Dark Circuit was intended to simulate a bass. The Precision bass did not come out for another four years.
3). The Gilmour #0001 Strat was one of a very few special guitars made up for a trade show (Terry Kath had #0003). The Stratocaster was already on the market at the time and already had its own numbering system which started at #0100 (the first Strat S/N’s were stamped on the plastic tremolo spring cover. Strat serial #s were soon moved to the neck plates).
Remember this was the first solid body wood guitar (outside of Merle Travis’ 1947 Bigsby and a very few Slingerland guitars made in the 1930s). All the other guitar manufacturers thought it was a ridiculous idea at first. But they took off very quickly and became very popular, then all the makers had to have one of their own.
Love the distortion. Rocking out on a Broadcaster!
Just wow!! A real piece of history right there! Lemmo again, you always inspire me to make music and make TH-cam videos.
Thanks a lot for subscribing!
Your welcome!
Fantastic!! Great stuff Mr. Lemmo!!
Great to see someone play the guitar and not insult us with senseless noodling. The Caster is incredible!
Wauw sounds so mellow clean love it!
that was one of the coolest heartbreaker riff renditions ever
Another beautiful guitar. Lemmo on point as well
Great playing on a great guitar
Wow...outstanding.
Mesmerized.
Another awesome guitar Norm. Also a very talented player you've got on your hands there!
Seriously you guys have the most awesome job!
That's a beautiful thing...
Where's old Frankie baby? Haven't seen him in awhile.
He's been hiding from the coronavirus up at Sly's place in the Hills above LA. Sly got so tired of the nonstop talking and whimpering about dying of the virus that he had to move him out to the pool house.
After he had a panic attack about dying because he had some gas pain, I guess he peed his pants and let loose a blast of the runs, he's now banned from the house altogether.
@@boss123400 -That Son Of a Bitch!!, but knowing Frankie he's at a lady friends house hanging around until Sly let's him back at the pool house
It must be a little sad for Lemmo to get to play this beauty a few times and then never again.
He plays so many I don’t think so
No way man, he got to play it.... Only he and whoever buys it probably got to be the only ones in who knows how long its been to play it.??
Mikes eyes when he hit that bridge pickup tells the story of what he thinks of it!!!
I love guitar
An amazing guitar!!!
Fantastic
I love telecaster is my favorite ❤
what a guitarist. wow
Such an absolutely killer guitar
I've never liked Telecasters, but I sure like that. Wow. Lemmo the Demo killin it.👍
