Guitar of the Day: Gibson Custom Shop ES-339 Cherry | Norman's Rare Guitars

[@seanzinger]

I can rarely sit through a whole video these days with so much out there to click on. But this was truly amazing.

[@donhancock1721]

Perfect match for Lemmo's playing. Who's buying this one for him?

[@motivationeveryday1205]

Me

[@jonbon7219]

Full metal jacket

[@cminty6805]

About the most beautiful guitar playing I've ever heard. You're one of my favourite artists of all time Lemmo. This is much more than a guitar demo.

[@mr5811]

best addition to Guitar of the Day yet: outro solos.

[@jacobnemeth7634]

Lemmo’s playing is surreal. I don’t know how else to describe it

[@thomasnissen1402]

Lemmo, congrats on the new guitar. You deserve it, fully. Be well friend, lots of love from Denmark!

[@j.p.roofer3407]

These 339s are magical. I bought one about a month ago and I’m so happy with it.

[@mickkraviz]

lemmo really is a cool influence, his rhythmic playing is such a pleasure

[@forcytek1]

Fantastic❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

[@weatherboy1551]

Cant seem to pick up my jaw off the floor. That first part had me shattered. Absolutely beautiful, Lemmo!

[@keepyourmoneytricks2610]

First two segments of this it sounds like the guitar is breathing. Incredible player Lemmo. Love the daily mood enhancing videos you put out.

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

Sounds nice, like a 335 but smaller body and sound. Susan loves Lemmo. Lemmo loves guitars. Guitars loves Norm And Jen loves Lemo, Like a friend

[@localguy8]

This sounds like an early 60’s song

[@musicfan8253]

Great playing Michael, as usual. And congrats again on that amazing gift from Susan.

[@DNeil5]

Amazing again! You are a true master artist. Beautiful playing!

[@saint6563]

One of the most beautiful electric guitar tones I've ever heard. Thanks!

[@ramencurry6672]

It’s a great guitar. Under rated too

[@jasonelliott3162]

Gorgeous playing. Gorgeous guitar too

[@3113_records]

Lovely playing as always.

[@schalksteyn9594]

I think there are a few guys who should open for Lemmo on his show, world class and above, not many can say they match this guitar Wizard. Love to "Whooo hoo" Jen, they make one "hell of a" duo. Love and blessings from Kruger Park in SA, they say here in SA....it's moosh in the bush.😁😁

[@glarrymoreme]

That guitar is ideal, great sounding and so versatile. Fantastic playing again

[@flinchey6962]

Love mine my main guitar at the moment, purchased my 07 339 for $1500 they’ve seen to have shot up a in price a bit really a remarkable guitar no issues

[@benink5690]

Best guitar work I've heard on KZbin in a while

[@shayeasy]

that lower volume groove at the end was just perfect

[@PJ-jz5fm]

Great explanation of the ES series! I don’t know if you will see this comment Michael, but Bill Nelson of BeBop Deluxe (UK 70’s)was an ES345 player and obtained some of the best tones I have ever heard. “Crying to the Sky” on Sunburst Finish in particular will give any guitarist the shivers! Thank you for your great channel !

[@jackorbit7258]

I really like that playing, Lemmo.

[@frankswildyear]

Beautiful picking

[@freddaniel5099]

Sounds pretty awesome once Michael wakes the guitar up ~10:20 or so. From there forward it rocks! 👍

[@jirwinelportal]

Michael you are making it sound like there are 5 instruments playing. Absolutely beautiful. So happy I got a 339 from Norman but now I probably need one with a Bigsby, too!

[@MattSChewbacca]

Congrats Michael, you are a great player with great diversity and in my opinion very deserving, you have the ear and the ability.

[@gilstanfill1011]

Enjoy your musicianship!!! I'm amazed every time I ketch one of your workshop videos. 🤟💙☯️

[@GypsyLane]

As always, great playing Lemmo! Picked up your album…listened to it on my recent vacation in Utah. Outstanding!

[@localguy8]

Thanks for explaining the ES differences 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻❤️

[@jasonezzell6901]

Lemmo, you slay me. Also now I have to buy a 339.

[@changchikang5603]

Feel like in the paradise~ amazing tone and music with the gear.

[@el0blaino]

That sounded SO GOOD!!!! Thank you!

[@novanut1964]

beautiful sounds and playing, good video

[@DheadslayinG]

Im guessing the first playthrough is what plays at the gates of heaven

[@guitarboix5606]

I love how he plays

[@michaelhotz7118]

Beautiful

[@ganaorganador]

Michael, your playing is awesome! So much mood.

[@stevelaferney3579]

Awesome and then some. Thanks Mike. What playing on what a guitar! I want a 339 just send it right over. Droool! I wish. Later maybe.

[@henkkman]

Damn it, Lemmo did it again! 😅. Beautiful playing!

[@Evy-1988]

wow, that is a beautiful composition

[@Michael777Simmons]

Well done. Awesome thanks 😊

[@davidj6008]

Love It! Because of course I would Every tone from anywhere, at anytime Have a Sunburst hardtail Monster Also, great demo 😁👍

[@Followyourlight420]

My next purchase!!

[@fabrizio.24]

That's a incredible guitar! Incredible color and sound!!! 🤘

[@BaconatorJames]

I bought a new Gibson ES-339 ('Satin' black, kind of entry-level) 2yrs ago & it's the best sounding guitar I own (I really love '57 humbuckers). I'm still pretty new to guitar, only started playing in early 2018. I would appreciate any commenters' advice on why, if money were not an issue, would anyone benefit in getting a 'figured' ES-339? A figured 339 is definitely prettier & worth more for resale, but are there any tonal/weight-distribution things to note? I'm in love with the compact size of the 339 vs the 335 & part of the reason I got it is because it's much more comfortable than a Les Paul & I can't tell the difference tonally. I bought an Epiphone ES-339 a few months before the Gibson to be sure I knew what I was getting, since I'd have to buy the Gibson without playing it first. I've got a "Les Trem II" installed & a roller-bridge & Graphtech XL nut, so it surprisingly stays in tune.

[@risinggio8822]

Killed it

[@alfonzothomas3587]

That may be some of the best picking I ever heard!!

[@triniep82]

I love that first song on the neck pickup. Bits of Bach in there!

[@chayseinderrieden3883]

These are my all time favorite guitars. I wish I never sold mine 😪

[@soofitnsexy]

duhhhh......buy another theres a ton out there

[@musicl0ver543]

I just bought the epi 339 and love it but now wished I’d bought the Gibson

[@marklee_702]

Bonamassa needs to invite Lemmo to open for him. 😎

[@j_laf9575]

Someone make this happen

[@mickkraviz]

hell yeah

[@stancoleshill8925]

I always enjoy running across a new guitarist. I really like your style Mike. Oh and PS. I just bought a 339 just last week !

[@ardiris2715]

Hmm, is Lemmo planning on touring soon?

[@davewheel8974]

Great demo and playing, you've given me some cool ideas!

[@hughiehendrixx4811]

God bless you all. 🙏🏽❤✌🏾

[@dantepalomba7356]

B5 on a 339? Interesting. Is that the best way to go?

[@brendanbeirne2]

wow -- your playing is unreal!

[@КириллЛисивец-у1з]

wow! awesome arpeggios!

[@tonya4157]

Awesome! Man I love that guitar. Just Awesome.

[@beercheersrccrawlers]

What do you guys think about a 340 NTD? White with some binding..it's pretty sweet.

[@airtechmech6681]

I want that guitar! I could trade in my Epi ES-339 maybe. I do really like it, though and I certainly can't play it like you do.

[@craigthomson3621]

I have a lefty Gibson ES-339 and I love it. Would like a lefty fully hollow ES-390 but I don’t think they exist (I guess the closest would be a lefty Collins I-30).

[@QuickCygan]

Damn I love that first tune, I think you've already played it on a 12 string in a diffrent video. Great chords. :)

[@jimwolf8121]

Great Demo! You get a lot out of that 339.

[@SuperHansen80]

Lemmo + Mono guitars = 🤯

[@benink5690]

God that's so pretty. K want a lesson on that. That reverb/delay/Modulation is amazing sounding DAMN!!!

[@ADP72]

Right hand !!!! Dang GUY !!

[@benink5690]

What reverb/modulation is that? Sounded like a part from Zelda. Beautiful

[@TheFuckingVicious]

Sounds like a shimmer reverb. Example: kzbin.info/www/bejne/nXazk4amja5gm8k

[@tymeryder7264]

Grand guitar

[@keomo]

3:36 Zelda fairy!!

[@paul2602]

So nice, as always.

[@timhallas4275]

Sweet tones. Your right, it is a clearer more defined tone than a 335 . I think I want to build one.

[@jasemaxable]

A rockn Lemmo. Yes

[@bluehazeboy]

You guys ought to try an es les Paul,

[@Zackarysmackary]

Dude is killer

[@tlister67]

I have this guitar without the bigsby. Mine has a serial starting with CS made in 2008 IIRC. Custom shop cert and case. They had some troubles with fingerboard being poorly finished during that time, it was a forum topic back then. Plays and sounds great though.

[@Toraboramusic]

How much is the Custom Shop 339 worth now in USD?

[@tlister67]

Toraboramusic Not sure, I saw one for around $2300 in a shop that had a pickup swap.

[@ekkuapo62]

🙏

[@alv9815]

The 336 is totally different than the 339. The 336 is basically a Les Paul with F holes. The body is a solid piece of Mahogany

[@bizky75]

Beautiful guitar 🤙🏼

[@jeananatole7340]

Excellent game! but impossible to find this guitar for sale

[@jluther1755]

What no one wanted to buy this guitar for you Lemmo 👍

[@curtisnewton895]

cute lovely guitar

[@glenkepic3208]

I can dig this. Nearly 10 years ago, i swing by the SM GC for the heck of it. See a used Peavey Vypyr 15 for $49.00. Look for a guitar,,,,Black sparkle finish Epi 339. Always loved the concept of a shrunken 335 but this was sorta blingy (pearloid binding,too). Played great. Bought the amp.

[@TheBotsra]

God Bless Lemmo your wonderful. I hope you are doing some studio work. I'd hire you but I'm poor

[@marshallkohlhaas80]

Dang dude you didnt have to go an do that!!!!!!!! NYCE!!!!!!

[@angelsolanot8053]

I don't know why, you've always evoked / reminded me of Mick Taylor.

[@davids9192]

Norm definitely traded up when he retired Agnesi and gave Lemmo his opportunity.

[@Ron_Padgett]

lol

[@mattrogers1946]

🙄

[@B-leafer]

Could do a shootout between a Gibson es 339 vs. Gibson cs 336??

[@JR-tu3sm]

Track ID please !!??? The first song is amazing

[@markrushton1516]

Sure I've seen Tommy Shaw from Styx using those - always wondered about the smaller body

[@googo151]

HI BROTHERS! WHAT BIGSBY WOULD YOU RECOMMEND FOR THIS MODEL? B6 OR B7? THANKS MAN.

[@MR-wp5dz]

Holy shit, was completely to be this moved by a guitar demo. damn dude!

[@macleanberry5638]

What is that first song he played?

[@mikelanzafame3401]

I am wondering as well!

[@alancastellon9225]

Zelda I think

[@mikelanzafame3401]

What the heck is Zelda

[@mickkraviz]

@@mikelanzafame3401 The Legend of Zelda is a high fantasy action-adventure video game franchise created by Japanese game designers Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. It is primarily developed and published by Nintendo, although some portable installments and re-releases have been outsourced to Capcom, Vanpool, and Grezzo. The gameplay incorporates action-adventure and elements of action RPG games.

[@tenniswilliam]

I have this very guitar 2013 model but no Bigsby and vintage sunburst. Sadly it fell off the stand and broke the headstock. I has been repaired nicely however by a pro.

[@soundinthesky96]

wow i've never respected 339s, but now not only do i want one i think i might even prefer the sound to a 335

[@davywalter]

Also appreciate the 10 Years After refs!!

[@fatihnomore]

4:13 what's that song ??

[@corssheehan8566]

Best GOTD
