Such a cool rendition of Heart Shaped Box!

[@DojoOfCool]

The Bronco was sold as a beginner package and came with a Bronco amp. I had one of the Bronco amps, wish I still had it. The Bronco amp was a SF Vibro Champ but instead of saying Vibro Champ it had Bronco printed in red.

[@thecnwmondovilinepaulscota7304]

Picked up a red Bronco in the early 80s for next to nothing, like $75 or something. My old roommate played it in his band (I had his Tele) and got so pissed that it wouldn't stay in tune that he smashed it into several pieces at a gig one night, had the band sign it, and it still to this day hangs on his wall.

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

Awesome set Lemmo! Really dug the Curt Cobane songs! Great video Jen! Well played!

[@LeonMuel]

Ahh it’s exactly the year and the color like Alex Turners (Arctic Monkeys) stolen Bronco, from favorite worst nightmare and suck it and see. Sounds and looks beautiful!! (:

[@GulerEmre146]

As far as I know Alex gave his bronco to Alexandra Saviour. I didn’t read anything about the Alex’s stolen bronco.

[@jaidenbowkett]

That was a Musicmaster he gave away, the Bronco seems to have been stolen midway through July 2011.

[@lalolanda0114]

@@GulerEmre146as the other mentioned, the bronco was stolen back in 2011, and the one he gave to Alexandra, was a musicmaster. The thing is that he bought that musicmaster and tried to modded it to a bronco, but had problems with the electronics so he never used it again.

[@jaidenbowkett]

@@lalolanda0114It’s always puzzled me why Alex bothered to get a Musicmaster, it would’ve been pretty easy for his tech to source him another Bronco. It’s probably my dream guitar but there’s never any for sale in the UK.

[@bltvd]

I got this exact guitar 30 years ago from a pawn shop for $165. Converted it to a 12 string a few years later and played it in my college band for years.

[@mekkakat]

The Bronco is my favorite guitar of all time. Love this.

[@jimmygillard]

Black is my colour, and this thing is a beast. Love it.

[@kinneyelliott5615]

Mike you make any guitar sound good !

[@contrabandjoe7974]

I'm 59 years old and started playing in 1976. In the late 70's and early 80's, Broncos and Mustangs could be purchased used for $200 bucks all day long

[@rosskleinmann2626]

That $200 in 1978 is $941.87 in 2023 due to inflation. It's weird to think about all things I could of bought back then, because I was broke then as I am now lol. If you want sticker shock go buy a sandwich from subway. Just outrageous what they charge for those things and they don't even have the COLD CUT COMBO ANYMORE!!!!!

[@terryenglish7132]

​@@rosskleinmann2626You're comparing guitars to the economy as a whole. A cheap but good guitar nowadays , new is $200 or less.

[@Gratefulman1965]

I’m 58, I remember those prices. Paid 535.00 for my used Les Paul studio in 1984. Those days are gone brother!🎶

[@rosskleinmann2626]

@@Gratefulman1965 BRing Back the $5 cold cut!

[@rosskleinmann2626]

I was just using an inflation calculator and ripping on subways awful food. sure you can buy a guitar from china for under $200 but you cant buy a fender for that, so what you did was create a strawman to beat up.@@terryenglish7132

[@ckelly5141]

Kinda reminds me of a Fender Musicmaster....except for the pickup location, and the bridge, the body colour, and the headstock size.....ah.....forget it!🎸😜

[@bluesdawg8014]

I have the same year 1978 Bronco. I've installed a SD JB little 59 in it. I kept the original PU in the case, never get rid of original parts, you'll always be sorry later. I use the guitar for slide so I've raised the action just enough to play slide without fret noise but plays great normally as well. I also installed a bone nut. Basically it sound like a brassy Les Paul junior. The thing screams. I love student models they just have that mojo vibe. Los Angeles

[@marlenedexter7280]

VERY COOL

[@frankb5728]

Almost the perfect getaway guitar

[@victorbeebe8372]

Aloha Micheal! Mustang and Bronco are names used for horses before Fender or Ford named there named products.

[@yoschmoyo]

Heart Shaped Box!

[@jrumiano]

Hey Michael, that guitar sounds great all the way to Bucks County PA. 👍

[@terryenglish7132]

Are the rocks still ringing ?

[@chassisresearchkid]

Didn't even know that was a thing. Cool.

[@matthewpitlick8267]

Love the low end!

[@TheMataleon06]

I have been watching for a while…sr lemmo la sabe!

[@guinness1376]

Great video, I was hoping you would do an episode with the daphne blue jag-stang but the bronco was so much better!!!! Thanks again

[@iluvj50]

Nice combo of twang and snarl.

[@michaelvaladez6570]

Ive never heard of this model of Fender before what a cool student start up..great tone ! I was arin the 70's never knew ..cool.

[@reginamiller3153]

🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@arumrunner]

Very cool, I have a '69 that in some point in it's life, was repainted to robin egg blue and had the F stamped tuners replaced. Your example is missing the orig neck plate which would have the guitars unique serial number on it.

[@Archer82ify]

In your latest videos about Jason Bekker and EVH, was Jason fotos with Fender like this . But different pickups on board. Sorry for my English knowledge)

[@gregoryfeo6837]

Really cool🎉really Really 🎉cool daddyo!

[@markmartin3221]

Hey, I’ve been watching since MA doing GOTD so, how did Jen get her job doing her long running gig with the famed NRG? Like everybody there, they become part of the positive vibe this cool Music Store brings.

[@OMARA.OFFICIAL]

Where is the tab page? Love the bronco I got an orignal 65-66 mustang handed down blue with white guard. 🤘🎸🤘

[@terryenglish7132]

Is this a Broadcaster/Tele type thing w the unfilled neck route under the pick guard ?

[@DainisKaulenas]

That exact model year and color was my first electric guitar. It was (my opinion only, worth what you paid for it) hot trash. I’m astonished what they go for these days. ‘Course Lemmo could make pretty much anything sound good. 😊

[@camwinston5248]

Yep yep..if you are really listening close, this doesn't sound that great either..but Lemmo can make a hello kitty guitar sound like it's playing well.

[@andrewwatts970]

Charlie Brown’s Christmas time!!

[@TREEHUGGAH1]

compassion is greater han any tradition.

[@snapfinger1]

Get the matching Bronco amp too.

[@fontcrimes2022]

That is a great guitar. Nitro finish it looks like? Sounds amazing as always.

[@garycoates4987]

It does look it but it's supposed to be something. Other than nitro but fender was doing weird experimenting with finishes in the 70s , I have a music master bass from the era and it's black but has a weird green hue sometimes and if you play it a long time and sweat on it the finish kinda gets bluish and soft under your arm , my dad had the same bass in the late 70s early 80s and they left in a car trunk overnight in freezing weather and the finish cracked and peeled up in pieces with a smokey looking film over the black but would turn blue when you played it like a mood ring lol , so I've often wondered if they were mixing poly and nitro in the 70s to make some weird chemically unstable

[@fidlar777]

wasn't a black 78' bronco the guitar Alex Turner lost a while back?

[@jotull]

This was great but WHOA, 3 minutes? You gotta bus to catch?😂

[@varminttank]

What does it mean when you guess the first song mike plays before he even starts playing. 🤔

[@yoschmoyo]

Nirvana!

[@ducs1000]

Does someone remember the name of the first song he plays? I FORGOT THE NAME

[@marvmurchens9164]

Heart shaped box

[@simon90sba67]

Can you guys write down track list in the description of the video, please 🙏🏻😉

[@richardschley4110]

👍✌❤🎅

[@huangsibin]

nirvana

[@georgechapogas1054]

What type of pick up is that???

[@justyouraveragehuman4069]

Same pickups as mustangs had - not too dissimilar to strat pickups honestly

[@flapjack413]

Is it just me, or is that body thinner than a Mustang? I have a couple of Mustangs, and they're about 1.5" thick, but that looks thinner to me.

[@roughcutguitars]

Thought the same, but it specs out at 1.5"

[@LeonMuel]

as far as I know, the bronco mustang and musicmaster bodies were all exactly the same (:

[@renanlopes9144]

I am so glad he stopped scratching those nice guitars with those rings ...
