I'm diggin' the tones, but the placement of the tone knobs would drive me nuts. Thanks Michael.

That’s not white binding, the body is two molded fiberglass shells, the white is a gasket that holds them together.

[@davidkastin4240]

The guitar that busts the myth of tonewood! 🎸

[@PaulJonesy]

David Kastin I’ve seen guitars made of cardboard, metal, wood, Perspex etc, they certainly all make a sound but they don’t sound the same.

[@mtacoustic1]

Looks like one of those Italian guitars that you don't know whether to tune it or make espresso with it!

These are fun guitars. Great pickups (called Vista-Tones in Valco promo material…the electronics as a whole are sometimes referred to as Vista-Power) and nice necks. I have the Westwood version of this guitar, body made of wood rather than fiberglass but sounding much the same. The pickups are unusual in that the two magnets aren’t in or beneath the coil but alongside it. This is why the pickup enclosure is large despite the coil being Strat-like. Both the bobbin and the magnets sit on the same metal plate. Valco wasn’t trying to imitate a humbucker look…the Vista-Tones predate both Gibson’s and Gretsch’s HBs by a couple years. (Also: Valco’s predecessor company, National, had a humbucker in the early 1940s but it was never used by Valco after WWII.)

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

David Kieltyka EXACTLY RIGHT DAVID

[@anthonynonya]

I clicked "like" 3 times, one for the guitar, one for Jen, and one for the last song.

[@stevehornshaw4478]

Jen getting tough here. U get the best out of every guitar u touch Michael just amazing to watch and listen. Thnx

[@bobsimmons3466]

Not a Glenwood. They had two pickups and a different fret board inlay. Some also had a pickup under the bridge. I believe this is a Newport 82.

[@GuitarlosCarlos]

[@bobsimmons3466]

@@GuitarlosCarlos I wish Michael would do a little more research before coming on with some of these less familiar brands and models. Hope to see more videos of you at the shop when this is all over. Stay safe.

Oh boy! Now thats a guitar!

I love those National/Valco 's and you played it great Lemmo ! I hope you are all doing well there ! Thanks Jen ! 😎🎸🎶❤

[@holyhawks6794]

That pickguard is beautiful

[@orishohat8671]

What was the last bit he played?

[@salemflowers4122]

Huh, I was just looking at these. Definitely considering getting one.

[@nitrogenax2327]

I watched the movie 2 gringos and I was so happy when I saw Norms :)

[@blakemulrooney6760]

Few negative comments today, these are incredibly trying times in the world, Lemmo you rock keep smiling

[@coachdewalls9355]

When you hit the first note of that second song, I thought you were gonna play Don Henley's "Boys of Summer!" I guess I was a little off. Pretty cool that one pickup has a three tone switch like that.

[@Smagledorf]

Short, sharp and quick to the point! Nice playing Lemmo! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@glenkepic3208]

Cool demo ! Been a fan of these from afar since David Lindley would use one in the early '80s.

Awesome guitar, what was the last song he played?

What a totally different sound. Can't decide if I think it's a cheap sound or unique. I'll go with unique. Also.....E A G L E S !!!

Would’ve loved some proper Black Keys stuff here. Missed opportunity man, feel like we’re getting hit with the same songs

Groovy tones man.

cool sound!

[@marklownox]

Nice playing ML. Guitar sounds good too!

[@kellyc2425]

I wasn't aware National made a single pickup version. 🤔 Great playing as usual!!

[@danielhirrel3712]

Anybody hear that new Stones song they dropped today? Shit was awesome.

[@WhatThePublicWants]

what’s the riff he starts playing at 4:04 with tone 3?

[@ATG-productions]

I could be wrong, but I think it’s an original by Lemmo himself

[@gvbjr.6693]

I think Lemmo found his new sound

[@garrett3055]

That’d make a great left handed guitar

[@monsterkxf]

No White Stripes?? 🤘🤘

[@donconnor3237]

Cool guitar. But I believe Glenwoods of the era had the knee cutout. Maybe a Newport?

[@bobsimmons3466]

Yes, a Newport 82 I believe.

[@TonyfromPhilly]

Go Birds!

[@sgtpeppers94]

Mentions the black keys and white stripes, doesn’t play them.

[@waybackplayback1347]

Anyone else notice how microphonic that pickup is? You can hear Lemmo's voice through it.

[@joermnyc]

wayback playback yes, but the body is also hollow fiberglass... that cannot help.

@@joermnyc True. Good catch. 👍

Can you achieve a tone like that with a les paul?
