    He’s so good in such a different way. He doesn’t just shred or play super fast. He just really plays and it’s so pleasant to listen to. And it’s clean. I want a whole iTunes album of lemmos guitar of the day segments 😂

      almost. Bradley's (now, his son Jakob's) guitar is the FJN Folksinger Jumbo - different body shape. (this one is 00 versus Jakob's Dreadnought)

    Jen’s laugh after lemmo talking about the “Wide-D” neck shape cracked me up😂

    @pharmerdavid1432 3 года назад +7

    I've got a 1965/6 FJN (folk, jumbo, natural), which is similar, but a slightly larger body. These "folk" Gibbies make excellent acoustic lap slide guitars, with their wider nut, uncompensated saddle, and 12th fret neck joint, which moves the bridge into the middle of the soundboard. They were designed to be used with nylon, silk and steel, or steel strings (may load soundboard with medium gauge). The essential Kelly Joe Phelps used a FJN on his first two recordings, which is where I got the idea from. If you haven't heard his "Lead Me On", you are in for a treat.......!

    Michael continues to display why he is the top guitarist on the internet. His creative genius continues to shine on GOTD and we are the lucky recipients of his incredible talents. This guitar has exquisite tone and the fishman pick-up was a much needed addition but Michael please tell us, plugged into what? How much reverb? We want all your secrets revealed.

    I have a 1962-3 no cracks but scratched here n there from playing. They are wide neck but made for steel strings. It was only made a few years then stopped production they then brought I’d back again for a few more years. I know the early production had Brazilian rosewood but the later models I m not sure.
    Lemmo that was nice you really made that folksinger sing , that old wood top needed that vibration. Great playing on acoustics n Jen love that laughter . May be I drive to Norms n see if he wants mine
