I just love Lemmos unique style. His guitar demos are the only ones that don't bore me to hell.

[@Cam-yp7cn]

If only he’d use less fuckin reverb

Michael Lemmo’s guitar playing brings me so much joy. Clean, spontaneous and melodic. Wonderful musician!

[@chris_2714]

I've said it before, but I wish Fender would offer hardtail strats more often. Love the look and sound!

[@Ottophil]

Its bs they don’t have a standard hardtail in every price range

[@turdferguson3855]

Look on reverb, there are plenty to buy.

[@imCurveee]

Can't you just set it up so the bridge is flat to the body? That's how I set mine up. Can only use the trem to go down when it's set that way. Kind of best of both worlds, get more tuning stability and sustain but can still use the tremolo

[@Ottophil]

@@imCurveee i hate this answer more than anything. No. Thats currently what I’m doing too. But id sell my american standard in a second for a hardtail.

[@Ottophil]

@@imCurveee i don’t even have the bar installed, and its not fixed enough. 5 springs cranked all the way down still isnt making me happy. I want wood there

[@shanebrbich5698]

Lemmo’s giving the stink eye to the cat in the background playing over his gotd! Then settles the score with some voodoo! 👍🇦🇺

[@musicfan8253]

Jen’s correct, “that was awesome”. Well done, sir!

[@howard5508]

Killer guitar!! Outstanding demo Michael!!! Just wow

[@DatMetalBoi75]

I've always wanted a vintage strat. One with a hardtail specifically

[@ryanfulldark2775]

Grab a late 70s before they skyrocket! The hardtail models are lighter and sound great. Powerful.

[@DatMetalBoi75]

@@ryanfulldark2775 thanks for the recommendation my dude. I'll check reverb sometime soon

[@bazookajoethompson3407]

For all major purchases there's Master Card!

[@DatMetalBoi75]

@@bazookajoethompson3407 I have shittt credit my dude. I'm 23

[@pappyodanial]

Something about the hardtail specifically is more piano like, there is just a better tension between the strings and the body. Hard to find a good one, most are the 70s ones that weigh 11 pounds. I want a nice 6.5lb hardtail and the only maker I've found so far that does that is Bluesman guitars. Which are actually really really good.

[@jr13227]

You teared Voodoo Child up! My favorite Hendrix song

[@davidg1612]

Can't go wrong with a good Strat. Nothing in the world like it.

[@johnf6267]

Such a sound. Other worldly. Nice lemmo.

[@Kodduh]

Might be the best sounding strat I’ve heard personally

[@ryanfulldark2775]

Hardtails man, I’m a believer! More wood in the heart of the body creates more sustain

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

@@ryanfulldark2775 I couldn’t agree more! More wood, plus mulch better (and much more!) contact between the bridge and the wood can only add sustain…but I think it gets even *MORE* sustain from the string-thru body setup.

[@hkguitar1984]

Those marks on the back are most likely from a curly cord that was left in the case. The materials used in those old cables reacted with the nitro finish.

[@coachdewalls9355]

Very rich tone, and the perfect look for a vintage strat!

[@marksheefel3796]

Awesome tone! I bet the phones were ringing after 5 seconds of hearing the tone of that 60 strat!!!! Rock on 🤘

[@docskate4312]

I love it when Lemmo does the jimistyle.

[@photopicker]

Rosewood necks are the only game in town. Those marks on the back are likely from the era of coiled cords. A '59, 60, 61, or 62 would be a vintage guitar I would be interested in. It'll never happen but I am old enough to remember when these guitars were only 12-14 years old. They were around.

[@davidhumphries853]

Eric Clapton always plays a maple neck.

[@wjb8855]

I agree, as much as I like the look of the maple finger board after all my years and years listening there is no doubt that a rosewood finger board is the smoothest and best sounding neck for any guitar. Hell I even changed my daughters early squire tele with a maple finger board to a cut down custom rosewood strat 22 fret neck to a 21 fret squared neck pocket to replace the original neck. And for all you haters out there, I've had them all (baja, mex, American standard, +) but my affinity squire I bought as a beginner for my daughter is amazing, obviously I've upgraded pups and tuners along with electronics pkg. and brass 3 way string thru bridge. Even my pro gig band buds love it. I've put it in my gig rotation for 20 years and has held up better than pro models. Even before I upgraded it the rig had a sweet sound awesome tone. Not every guitar plays or sounds the same. Get 6 guitars all the same to to bottom at your local shop and play them, they'll be close but I guarantee you everyone will have there own issues. 95% it's the operator not the gear. I wear my misfit trademarks with pride. Everyone can just go get one but mines a one off , original , a #1....

[@glarrymoreme]

Outstanding. Such clarity when using distorted chords

[@billfleming8281]

Holy moly ! I can’t play a lick of anything , but watching this just makes we want t9 own that beast and learn ! Wow

[@sickb2200]

Dream guitar!!! A Stratocaster does not get better than this for me.

[@andrewfindlay9698]

One of your best ML Killer strat as well...thanks Jen !

[@jluther1755]

Welcome back Lemmo 👍. See you didn't loose your chops 👍 nice guitar great sounds

[@jeffhooten7474]

Lemmo just melt my face with voodoo Chile

[@TheDp1965]

Wow! Nicely played Lemmo!

[@SecurityBagels]

Whatever that reverb is it is absolutely sublime

[@supermashriq]

8:38 - reaches for the dive-bomb then remembers there's no trem :) Awesome playing.

[@matthewdavis473]

That middle pickup is so warm.

[@nicholascourier1552]

What an absolute beauty!!!!

[@markwhite1039]

Wow! Awesome voodoo Chile rendition! You are on another level!!!

[@freddaniel5099]

Yeah, that's a beauty! Sweet tones

[@CaseyJamesMusicOfficial]

That 5:55 middle pickup is exactly what a strat sounds like in my head

[@don911donny9]

Great guitar played fabulously by virtuoso Lemmo.

[@garycoates4987]

This is the perfect guitar,my dream strat

[@steveb4592]

Yes Lemmo is rocking that Hardtail! “This guitar is absolutely ridiculous, just ridiculous”!

[@TheBaller67]

the sweat on the fingerboard up on the 16th and 17th fret!

[@sturusk3620]

I love that mint guard.

[@markmccafferty6515]

Fantastic demo. What a beauty!!!

That strat is badass! Nice playing ✌

[@samdill36]

i have a mij, candy apple red, rosewood board, hardtail strat that i bought in 1988...e series serial no., sleek and beautiful. seems to be a copy of of this 1960 version. it's a joy to look at and play, love the rosewood...

[@mrcatfishjohnson]

You had me at Hardtail!

[@landenguitar1305]

Everytime he has a damn 60’s strat I’m memorized

[@pappyodanial]

God that thing sounds gorgeous.

[@craigsbuyer2270]

Lemmo and reverb, like peas in a pod..nice

[@StandbyCymbalist]

this one's really got it. hope it gets into the the hands of a player

Simply awesome stuff from the Wizard. Hi Jen..😘 Best wishes and blessings from the Kruger Park in South Africa.👍👍

[@michaelolz]

That honestly sounds magical. Hearing this got me a bit contrite. That reverb on the second song almost makes it sound like you have angels accompanying you. What is that second song??? I must learn it.

[@shineonyoucrazydiamond9882]

beautiful lemmo

[@lnugent1000]

I want one of these!

[@glenkepic3208]

Sweet !!! had a '75 mn sb ht in '76. Nice but slippery at jams. Like to wish if it was a Strat like this i might still have it :) dream on ;(

[@mrcarloselche248]

Amazing Lemmmmmmooooooo!

[@BrianOboylemusic]

Dude Soo nice LEMMO

[@jltrem]

The marks on the back are from a coiled cord.

[@trevinbracken2889]

What is this rigf you're playing. Been going through a few I missed, love your unique style. The riff you start playing on the neck pickup. What is it? It's been stuck in my head for days and I need to get it out!

[@talaris-uk]

Looks similar to my 1989 MIJ ST62, only mine lacks the hardtail. Your tone though is just on another level

[@journeywithstu7199]

Busy day at the shop

[@L.J.W.98]

That’s a perfect guitar!

[@barryrahn5957]

Heard a video of you playing about a month ago and I really liked what you played. I really liked what you play on this video too. Understated, not über flashy, but right on the money. Anyway - cheers!

A vintage strat in the hands of Michael Lemmo is like giving a Stradivarius violin to Mozart!

[@olarkenesbjug6546]

Mozart never played Strads.:)

[@slaughterbotsfan2552]

Forewarning by Michael Harris on youtube Enjoy

[@Jonpoo1]

Wish they made more hardtails with the stringthrough now.

By the way, at someone else's suggestion here, I just saw Jen on her Instagram. Hubba hubba!

My technique has improved threefold since Lemmo took over GOTD. (:

Okay. It’s been years. I’ve waited patiently. I’ve tried Shazam. I’ve tried that new Google thing. Can you please get me the name of the second song?

[@grantabernathy]

Nice! What's the second song? I know it but can't place it.

what song was the first he played in the video?

no truss rod? no adjusting possibility?
