[@paulfesta5084]

Besides his killer playing, Michael made a great point that I hadn't considered before. A guitar that was built in 1954, designed for the music of the time, can be used for any form of music that came after it. Remarkable engineering.

[@jgfaulisi5162]

Like a Stradivarius violin

[@spoonido]

I can’t believe there’s customers walking around ignoring this awesomeness!

[@srvguitarlegend2876]

I was thinking about the same ....

[@1AngryCummins]

It’s because he’s playing the most simple shit and power chords…therefore nobody cares.

[@lamontprospect9974]

Michael is phenomenal. He makes that guitar sing.

[@journeywithstu7199]

I doubt I could be casually shopping while Lemmo was playing 10 feet away.

[@JuanTorres-ti1qm]

Es un comercial y son actores pagados... De otra forma no se explica.

[@1958CaddyMan]

My God Michael!!! You brought 68 years of spectacular music out of this beauty!!! If it could only talk! You guys need a Norm's Hour show to keep this music going! You are amazing!

[@Warriorjc7]

The Hendrix like riffs were awesome!!!

[@ToddTheJoker]

Fantastic! think about how much history has happened since 1954 and that strat not only survived all those brutal winters and summers etc BUT still looks fantastic! Just like Norm! lol Thanks Jen and Michael for showing us these amazing instruments!

[@howard5508]

The best Straterday ever! What an amazing guitar 1954 . Michael you are truly awesome on this guitar. You must have been inspired. You just blew everyone away. Jen thanks for sharing!!!

[@rolandacosta9677]

luv the Lemmo Demos man, no joke !!! thank you !!

[@gidge34]

Best Lemmo episode to date. 🔥🔥🔥 All things are possible with a first year Strat, and Gojira fueling those licks 🤘🎸

[@ALT3REDB3AST]

Thats got to be a reissue. That guitar looks too damn good to be all original!🤯

[@lassesuurmunne8340]

There’s a video on this page where they talk about how Norm wanted to go about restoring this one. I recommend watching that, it’s a fun video. I think there are two parts, the first where they discuss what to do and then part 2 showing the restoration results. Also Lemmo here demoed this guitar also in the condition is arrived in with the previous refin. So this finish you see here is the third time it’s been finished and the second refin. Also it has brand new frets here as well. I can’t remember what else they did. That’s why it looks so clean since it was just restored

[@Jamzocd]

It’s so clean! It’s like a closet classic that was incubating for a time to unleash its potential and Michael released it with a fury! 👏

[@jefffree3053]

I’ve watched a lot of these videos. This was Lemmo’s best guitar playing, imo. Thank you sir.✌️

[@freddaniel5099]

You might thin Stratocaster was a rare guitar model. Beautiful guitar, rocking GOTD!

[@ShinyRacer22]

The respect these guys have for that strat stood out to me even more than the incredible demo. What a guitar and with that amp that thing fucking sings... contender for the best Straturday yet in my humble opinion

[@stuartberke5845]

Sounds amazing. Lemmo absolutely knows how to play it. Great video. 👍

[@rockhead69]

Fantastic playing, Micheal dude...great way to start a sunny Boston sunday !

[@jeromewagschal9485]

I always find it amazing that these guitars that were created in a time when hard rock didn't exist ( yet ) react so well to distortion... I am the proud owner of a '57 strat and that thing blows away any so-called metal axes...of course it does clean sounds pretty well too 😁😁

[@thechamp9696]

Lemmo is on another level

[@geraldponce8336]

How blessed are we just to get to listen to a piece of history like that? And that strat delivers the goods. Holly sheep herders 😮

[@danielversion1.035]

Damn Lemmo!!! I wanna like this twice!

[@mgkcal]

I'm godsmacked by Lemmo's playing and the condiiton of that '54 beauty!

[@liamfahey7836]

Awesome playing Lemmo!!🎸🎸

[@markmartin3221]

I had the 50TH Anniversary issue of this but it also had the humbucker sounding p/u The best Strat I ever had The Tobacco Burst is beautiful and the reveal of the grain of the wood. Awesomeness

[@StarsandGuitars100]

That was a one man Rock Concert on the couch! The best guitar playing I've ever heard! ELO said it best "Lemmo, Lemmo, Lemmo, Lemmo's Rock'nRoll is King!" 😎

[@gregjacob8380]

Blown away again Michael…Wow. What a guitfiddle! Impeccable Jen❤️

[@Bluegeek1]

Michael has gone full alien from outer space with his playing. I can't hardly believe the age of that Fender Strat!

[@billthepainter5106]

That is one beautiful Stratocaster!

[@marc_leblanc]

Sweet guitar. Lemmo's playing was (chef's kiss) as usual.

[@barrondunn]

What I wouldn't give to hook a cable up to Lemmo's brain and hands and download his talent and skill into my own brain and hands. A treat to see that guitar and even more of a treat to listen to Lemmo play it.

[@dell5gibson]

That’s a GOTD for the ages. Just jaw dropping great playing on a great instrument.

[@Bigsbeee]

They can't be customer's .. extra's surely ? I'd be jumping up and down freaking out to that playing. You Rock Mike !!!

[@peterkoutros8190]

I don't know if he had the amp volume louder?..All can say is WOW! what a beast!..If hit Mega millions..I'll be down next week to pick it up..

[@LesleyLesPaul]

My 2014 60th Anniversary '54 Strat looks almost the same, regarding the grain ash ❤ LES

[@snapfinger1]

Original comfort contour body. Cliffs of Dover. Be Eric Johnson.

[@TimBoss2000]

The rings and the jacket cuffs are off for this one and don't we love it❣️🎵 💥 😵

[@campfirecrooner]

Great to see Norm looking so good! The ash body really beefs up the tones on this guitar. I would have like to have seen Lemmo work the whammy bar, his technique on the tremolo arm is quite unique. Amazing guitar!

[@TheSavagederek]

Awesome Michael ❤ love the ode to Eric and JJ .

[@Cauliflower79]

My jaw dropped when he hit that first note. What a sound. Absolutely mind blowing

[@bernardhossmoto]

This incredibly well demoed, sounding and looking guitar is going to be 70(!!!) years old next year. Can you believe that?

[@MichaelIrons-d5v]

("WHAT A MACHINE, ITS VOICE STILL CLEAR, AND PERIOD RIGHT, BOY DID SHE KNOW HOW TO WIND THOSE PICK UPS.")

[@jackrocker4210]

This is coated with the big bang of strat..A documented history..Treat it with love and care..She sings so swell..

[@higheriam]

Norms rings clacking on the finish was like nails on a chalkboard. Nice playing . Great sound.

[@oldeagle2514]

Hearing that reminds me of Jimi Hendrix! Don't let it go to your head!

[@djross2043]

Love the T-shirt Norman.

[@nonemlinus]

Right on man! Watched this a few times. Great mix.

[@dancarpenter4360]

You could tell that lemmo like this one great sound

[@lorenharris2965]

Great tones and an excellent player.

[@Michael-nf1ej]

I have a friend that had an old Strat with serial# 056. The Fender logo on the headstock was a rope decal. He traded this fine axe for a '61 Les Paul Deluxe, SG shape, white with 3 gold pickups and that crazy sideways vibrato. Super guitars.

[@billsedge7360]

The best yet , guitar and playing,, awesome

[@gilkalled]

What a beautiful timbre 👏🏻👏🏻

[@DaveKentLive]

Sweet Strat for sure! Built in 54 and sounds like the music of the time. All you need is a matching amp.

[@darrenwells2277]

That's the Strat tone I love the most... sounds sweet and meaty at the same time. I'll bet it plays like Butter!

[@secretdaisy6484]

Absolutely YES‼️👍☮️🌞🎸🩵

[@kinglui.sports]

Wow lovely guitar

[@philippemisson6818]

A great time. Philippe from Belgium

[@marineforces3214]

Respect , this was the best I probably ever seen , except from the master himself ❤️👀

[@TheDingledong4lyfe]

Norms watch sounds wonderful slamming into the guitar

[@michaelodria1986]

GREAT DEMO!!!!!!!

[@robinsonrojosolar8528]

Maravilloso sonido de esta 54, además su look , su apariencia, una espectacular guitarra, grandiosa obra de arte !!!

[@kw7292]

Michael as they say, sounded “road hot”. Great show on a very cool guitar. Thanks

[@sircoynie]

One day my 4 year old son will be a rock god and we will visit your store Norm looking for his special axe that will change the music world…….that is his dream (not just mine)! Man I love this channel and store!

[@xalk311x]

Lemmo absolutely destroyed this strat in the best way! He went off the rails on this one!

[@MrFantxo]

Amazing lemmo hendrix style🎉

[@Za7a7aZ]

If I walked in with a pocket filled with gold I would have walked out with that strat..What a beast, what a player.

[@Guitar5986]

Wow the middle & neck pickups on that Strat sound great

[@michaelsiegfried7319]

That playing was other worldly.

[@leonwhildenjr4483]

Hey guys - That Strats Amazing! I haven’t seen a better one the sound is so crispy clear thanks to Lemmo and that amp. Thank you Norm I will take supreme care off all the guitars you gift to me. You will have a special section In my collection with photos and a write up of you and the store.I hope you like it I know I will .😎👍🌅☮️🖤🕊🦋🕊🙏✌️

[@martinmcgimpsey9750]

Yay Lemmo! Awesome set! Beautiful guitar! I want one! I wish, oh well I make do! Very cool! Awesome video Jen! Guitar of the day rules! Lol!

[@samadams1076]

Great tones, thanks ML, you play that Strat like it was your favorite!

[@stevep1941]

Must have been amazing for the folks back in 1954 to see a Strat- so radical for the times.

[@NickJardine]

Lemmo bringin’ the HEAT on this one

[@glenkepic3208]

Killer example of a first year STRAT!!!! 'Fog Hat, "I Hate to see to you go". i know,,,, Rock ON, Norm, Michael and Jen.

[@erichutchinson6882]

All I can say is Wow!

[@TheButchersApprentice]

Ok, i watched all that, a beast of a strat

[@777bigbird]

I actually owned Ike Turners 54 and it was the best sounding strat due to the pickups . Played it through a Peavey classic 4/10 and it sounded like an Orchestra. Before it got away from me , I replaced the 3 way switch with a 5 way . Man the tone was undescribable. So now I have a 59 custom with 5 way ...Total heaven . Have always loved the 2 tone sunburst..Tobacco sunburst etc . Believe it or not I'm playing it through a Fender Champion 100.

[@NickJardine]

I get so many cool looper ideas from you!

[@mikebottiaux5850]

Absolutely Gorgeous.

[@beezersurf]

Wow! That sounds insane. Nice work Lemmo.

[@gtrjay55]

What a nice guitar, thanks for posting. Really nice playing Michael. I would have liked to hear the guitar without pedals through the Super Reverb but they call me old school. God bless Rock on 🙏🎶🎵❗👀

[@chuckeelhart1746]

God damn. Amazing guitar and demo!

[@andrewk9143]

coming out the gates swinging! Lemmo killing as per usual

[@harryguitarandmore]

I need that T Shirt!!-:)

[@hjrstreetphotography]

Bravo! Its a real beauty!

[@garrydean2069]

fan bloody Tastic! Thank you so much for sharing this

[@petemccarry2326]

One of the things I liked about Mark Agnesi, is that he told you not just the amp he was using, but the settings on the controls, and any effects he was using.

[@FGg503]

What a stunning guitar! If there's anything I ever wanted to own, it would be this guitar, an original '54 Strat! Almost too much for my brain! 😅

[@franfernandez9551]

amazing guitar tone! insane!!

[@_caseyjames]

Unbelievable tone. The best electric guitar ever made. Little bit too much reverb muddying it a bit but that’s not really a problem

[@jakebsowders357]

Mike Mcready would love that guitar !!!

[@CNFir-fs6zs]

Very cool, Michael

[@danielpatterson836]

Millions of people wish they could play that good!!!

[@jluther1755]

Norm auditioned 3 million players to find Lemmo

[@scopp2]

Very cool

[@juliangeorge1722]

That guitar had no idea it could play like that when it was born

[@AnthonyWilliams-ot1yk]

I miss my Strat! Looks exactly like that one except it’s a 57’ reissue.

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Thumbs up to Norm !

[@bobshaw8319]

Soon to be purchased by Mr. Bonamassa

[@jcout25]

How does Mike never even turn one customer's head while he's playing? If I walked into a guitar shop and somebody was ripping like him, I'd at least look at the guy.

[@simoncaddick9085]

Center of my attention for sure.

[@willbyrd5717]

Probably they were told that they were making a video and just ignore it

[@BuckyCrittenden]

Awesome video! 👍

[@Job.Well.Done_01]

Lemmo ripped it!!

[@rohitkashyap3420]

What the hell, I was spellbound, wow!
