"Born to be Wild" was recorded in 1968 on a Fender Esquire... played by then 17 year old guitarist Michael Monarch of Steppenwolf...

I started playing as a kid back in the mid 60's. I took lessons from a polka King for a little while. I kicked around and had a diverse taste in music. I was really lucky. I got to play some of these amazing old instruments and I met some pretty cool cats. This is always a trip down memory lane. Norm is the G.O.A.T.
National Treasure...

Sounds like a Telly. And everything sounds good on a Telly. 💯

[benjamingilmore]

Last one sounds like Van Halen playing life in the fast lane. Awesome!

Great tone and the color is very nice ! Jeff Beck played one while he was in The Yardbirds..maybe this very year !

1955 was a good year. Old as me and looks and sounds a hell of a lot better. 68 bro. Let's go. Crank it up.

[neanderthalsnavel]

It's fun watching Lemmo play when he's in the zone. So cool.

[smop]

Great playing! You’re the first person I’ve ever heard get usable sounds out of that “dark circuit”.

[ios]

[stephanep]

Three great selections for that Esquire. Guitar sounded amazing. Great job Lemmo.

[VinCom]

Incredible guitar. Thanks for featuring it.

I wish I could afford this beautiful 1955 model but a couple years ago I got a Squier Classic Vibe Esquire and it sounds and plays fantastic. There is something really cool and unique about the single pickup configuration--it makes you approach tone in a different way than having two pickups. Also the bridge setting is twangier than a standard Telecaster--I played the Esquire next to a CV Tele and could hear the difference. A friend who knows electronics told me that because there's only one pickup, the tone is more pure because none of it is being drawn away by the other pickup or something like that. Don't know if that's true but I believe it. Anyway, great demo playing as always.

Recorded at 11 pm right? Jajajajajajja,

[svbarr]

Esquire, Les Paul Junior, Firebird I -- all the guitars you'll ever need.

[joe.b]

Those zz top tones just leak outta that thing

[snapfinger]

I’ll be your Huckleberry friend. How ‘bout Breakfast at Tiffany’s ? I had such a crush for Audrey Hepburn. wow

[fiddlix]

Michael Lemmo could make any guitar sound great..Kudos..!

[roberthoffecker]

Love the tone, love Big IZ, the Joe Walsh, but still no Hag or Waylon on a Tele! How's about some Mikey (Houser) at least from WSMFP? P.S. Harp had three tonight, go Phil's!
