Killer guitar! I was just thinking about how that guitar was made almost or probably exactly a decade before Kennedy was shot, and think about how much time has passed, how many cold winters and hot summers and still here she is here for Lemmo to play right after he gets back from vacay! amazing! thanks Michael and Jen! Hope u r having a great summer!
Welcome back Michael ! What a way to start.. the best use of the dark circuit I have heard so far. As always your skills on the guitar are awesome. Thanks for sharing Jen!
It's probably a good thing that I don't have any money cause I probably would've bought all the guitars you've demonstrated so far and I've been watching you for about two years.Great to see you back Lemmon.
2nd position (8:00) made my knees buckle. Just balls to the wall scrappy raunch with a great riff to showcase it. I'm waiting for parts right now to assemble one. Can't wait.
Leo Fender nailed the Telecaster design. He was a trained engineer and used the French curve to lay out the shape, which played into the classical curves. Supposedly the headstock was designed slim so that it could fit in a shipping tube, so that the neck could be replaced if frets wore out or it broke.
Props to Mike for not dismissing the neck position of the Esquire and making it sound great. Ive seen so many lazy, narrow minded demos who dont know how to use EQ.
I am glad to see the 7.25' radius get a mention. All Fender instruments had this up until the 80's when they started using the 9.5" on most of their guitars. Supposedly this makes it easier to bend the strings and is preferred by "heavy metal shredders". The necks definitely feel different but as Mike has just demonstrated you can definitely bend the strings on vintage style necks. Just ask Jimi Hendrix. All of his guitars had necks with a 7.25" and he could bend the strings better than anyone. Oh and if you are nor familiar with what all of this means it refers to the degree of curvature on the fingerboard. Lower numbers (e.g. 7.25") mean that the fingerboard has more of an arch while higher numbers mean that the fingerboard is flatter. As far as I know all Gibson electrics have a 12" radius and they definitely feel much flatter than a Fender neck. Of course fingerboard radius comes down to personal preference and you have to find which type suits your playing. But if you have never played an older Fender I hope you get the chance someday because they are some of the most comfortable necks ever made.
They have problems bending because of finger angle. Jimi had 0° , he used the sides of his fingers ; I have no problem either coming in at 90° using the tippy tips .45° like a lot of folks, is what causes fret out.
One of my dream guitars
Ditto!👍🎸
Hey Mike glad to see you’re back in the shop…Great fender tele great sound as always

Love guitar history....vintage Fender Nitro colors fascinating!
Lemmo the looper 😊
Jeff Beck was arguably the Esquire player but Springsteen had one Born to Run cover
Sounds so good. delicious.
Lemmo always sounds good, but this time he’s road hot!
Yay, Lemmo! Your back, Yay! Lol! Glad buddy, now let’s get down on guitar of the day! Oh yeah, I almost forgot! Awesome video Jen!

Jen I love your guitar haha. Da da da da da 🎸Lemmo did you get smoked out in Canada? Montreal I mean .
Jeff Beck!
Most people know that Jimmy Page was a Telecaster player at the beginning of Led Zeppelin, but did he play one on *Physical Graffiti?*
White House Subs are the BEST!
I was told that at the poker tables, and can't disagree having been there.

So at 24 seconds I had to pause the video to google "Beatles at White House Subs".
Le(((mm)))o Fender 😉
put in a time machine send you back to 52 and play it like that what would they think
i've got $400. Will that work?
Hope you don’t mind Squier on the headstock!
Absolutely. Just find another 30k and you’re good
Look at that neck ! Beefy goodness. Big necks sound better.
