Guitar of the Day: Early 1970's Gibson ES-335 Walnut | Norman's Rare Guitars

[@joshroper2959]

That rendition of Supersonic and Cigarettes and Alcohol was really sweet

[@rylieriley]

I've always loved the look of walnut ES-335's.

[@ryanfulldark2775]

Me too! You couldn’t give these things away 7-10 years ago though. I wish I had bought 2 or 3 of em then🤦🏼‍♂️

[@NPParisTech962]

been watching the videos for a while. Seems obvious that Michael Lemmo has developped a unique and strong musical style. Great to watch and listen to.

[@larryburrough3024]

Jen and Lemmo are an Unbeatable Team! The camera work is on point and Michael’s playing is on another level!

[@martinreid1740]

Had the exact same guitar which I bought in McCormack's Glasgow in the early seventies. I traded it for a 1960 red strat 53271, still have the strat. The walnut 335 belonged to the guitarist from the JSD band if anyone remembers them.

[@EshockT]

This is identical to my number 1. I refretted with medium jumbo stainless steel. Nice to know Lemmo had one as well.

[@giannirocco7492]

But why on Earth would he rid himself of a 335?

[@ryanfulldark2775]

@@giannirocco7492 He’s a Fender guy.

[@jameswhite1450]

Man, there are just some guitars you mesh with. From a sonic perspective you’re rocking it. Imho

[@billfleming8281]

Such clean sound out of that guitar, nice job Mr Lemmo !

[@danadavis9121]

Love the look. Sounds good, too, in Michael's hands.

[@larryburrough3024]

I’m 71 and I don’t get around like I used to. These mini-vacations that y’all offer is just what the orthopedic surgeon ordered!

[@The51wayz]

Thanks for giving us all something to look forward to every week. Love how Mike keeps the music fresh. Amazing how content is always different and sounds are always on point .

[@zackattack635]

Oasis getting some love. Always underrated.

[@doctor_slap]

that playing made me feel so good..

[@Tonetwisters]

I sold those brand new out of my brother's music store in Tallahassee, Florida. I think I even sold a walnut 345 out of that era ...

[@fendermustang94]

in my opinion lemmo gives the best reviews,he comes up with the most beautiful things ever,agnesi was good but lemmo has better feeling and is more of a modern player,we love him!!

[@willhawks3020]

the oasis riffs were so perfect

[@garyb1036]

My dream guitar

[@cgavin1]

AB763 Twin Reverb + pedals = the very best of everything. Just the only amp you ever need!

[@pritchettdan]

Lemmo showing so much respect for this instrument. Love it.

[@aidantalbot9495]

That jacket is period correct too : ) ace as always, thank you

[@riffkey3002]

My dream guitar ❤️

[@rockin_john6282]

Nice jamming! Need to get me a looper pedal. I've got the same guitar in the more common red color, but mine has the 'Gibson' embossed pickup covers. Bought it in 1980 from the original owner (my now brother-in-law.) Got the original music store receipt later from the wife's mom-n-dad. Pretty sure mine is a 1970 model, but it's hard to know for sure with the 1969 thru 1974 models as I understand record keeping was in disarray during the first years of Norlin admin. Great guitar and my first high quality instrument in my mid 20s. Some folks don't like the slightly narrow width at the nut, but it doesn't trouble me as I find it makes 'open' chords easier to play.

[@jrsn2music]

The Gibson embossed pickup covers began in 1972 and carried over to 73 until the inventory ran out. I have a 1972 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty that I bought new and it has the gold embossed pickup covers.

[@gtnoslp]

I have a red ES-335 that I bought in the early 70s while in the Navy/California. Past owner removed the pickup covers?? Are they available for sale?

[@jrsn2music]

@@gtnoslp You can find them used for $100-150 each.

[@gtnoslp]

@@jrsn2music just for the covers? Pickups are still there!

[@jrsn2music]

@@gtnoslp Yep, just the covers. They are rare and pricey.

Juste envoutant ce son , merci

Lemmo la rompe, como siempre y más con la 335 !!!

[@andrewfindlay9698]

Great to see Mikey getting those head wobbles going....sweet playing

[@andrewstephens1565]

AWSOME!!!!

I don't recall the name of the first song does anyone know what it is?🙏

Amazing!

I know I’m late to the party but that’s some tasty playing!

[@stevev8592]

Loved the Oasis suite on the bridge pickup!

[@Smagledorf]

Always loved the look of a walnut ES-335! Awesome playing as always Lemmo! However! Gotta do a Maton!

[@rickjason215]

That's a nice guitar. I always wonder why someone would sell such a nice guitar.

[@geromelegnome5446]

Need the money!!!

[@markjohnson8352]

Lovely

[@MrBoots1987]

Michael is such a bad ass!!!!!

[@gtnoslp]

You and the guitar sound great!

[@merseybeat1963]

I had one of these for sale (Made January 1978) and the color was deeper and nicer than this and factory coil tap switch. And it sat there for sale for so long I thought to my self what is wrong with people.Am I in the Twilight Zone ? The guitar is so fkn good and I'm selling it for a good right price and the only reason I was selling it was because I never really wanted one of these guitars. And I already have a similar type of guitar made by a great luthier who made it with hand carved top back and sides instead of laminated woods..oh yes and with 1961 Gibson PAF Pickups.

[@dundaravewine2390]

Gettin' LOTS of mileage out that first tune!

[@jerryyeaaah15]

lmao

[@CrusaderX]

i have one. stock pups were gibson embossed dirty fingers.

[@allisonholmesmusic97]

Ooohhh… I want it

[@BrazosP]

Is this walnut color, or is it made of walnut? It is walnut stain on maple laminate 3 ply - correct?

[@workcloz]

Nice playing......price please???

[@wampaproductions1152]

lemmo is awesome

[@pouyan_m]

I'm in love with this guitar but more than that I'm in love with Lemmo playing ♡

[@wildwolf8983]

LEMMO , what looper are you using?

[@worgothcgd]

Sounds amazing ! But I would have to settle for a Firefly.

[@willhawks3020]

SUPERSONIC!!!

[@muchacholate1981]

Une basse…. Une mélodie… Micheal t’es le meilleur ! (Oasis pour finir ça le fait !)

[@therealdoug1000]

Another masterclass. Thanks Michael.

[@gregfeo8639]

Norlin? Beauty!

[@mattrogers1946]

Yup, Norlin era.

[@djwarren5081]

Thought I was at Maine Road for a minute then.

[@timseibel6507]

Ok, so I absolutely love Lemmo as the GOTD guy; but I do miss Mark and Jen's "poopy brown" banter about guitars like this. Also, the guitar is gorgeous and I would do less than admirable things to own it.

[@colbyjenkins2171]

Someone please help me know what song he’s playing at three minutes and 50 seconds!

[@buckodonnghaile4309]

Any reason you don't state the actual year this was produced? Either way beauty guitar and great playing from Lemmo.

[@davidkieltyka9]

Gibson serial numbers in the ‘70s don’t allow precise dating. You have to look at the pots to narrow it down, which is tricky to do with a semi-hollow or hollow electric.

[@mattrogers1946]

@@davidkieltyka9 Exactly!

[@harryballs5080]

I have an ES 345 that I bought used in 1979 that the guy I bought it from said it was a 1963 but to this day I still really don’t know what year it was made. It’s almost impossible to trace Gibson serial numbers.

[@Zumlauf101]

does anyone know exactly what amp hes using in this video? he said 60's twin reverb but a bit vague

[@johnpandolfino8663]

Mike......you look like you just got out of bed ....nice guitar 🎸

[@glenkepic3208]

Nice ! Seemed like everything was 'walnut' back then. Heck, a friend buys a mid '70s Gibson SG Special new as a late teen. His first electric. Cherry ? Nope, walnut (good guitar, better after a Dmz PAF SD pu swap ;) man, i had a Memphis 335, blk that was set up just like this....good guitar, set neck series. Seemed banjo'y with the 9's i'd normally use. 10's worked great.

[@staleyexplores]

you had me at walnut

Michael I'm not hating on you at all cuz you are an amazing guitar player but it always seems when you're not wearing all the Rings you play a lot better
