Dude lemmo is such an INSANE guitarist. Wow. What a guitar.

[MrMetsfan]

The G chord I've been strumming for years would sound amazing on this thing.

you know the big money guitars are coming out when Norm does the intro

Back in the early 90s, I was a teenager, a drummer and totally into fusion. I had a gig with this guitarist who was a member of the wrecking crew back in the 1960s. Anyway, we performed live with no rehearsal and I knew next to nothing about guitar. He had the usual popular guitars of the day. Mainly a PRS. They all sounded decent. He then picked up this old telecaster with all the paint worn off and my jaw hit the floor when I heard it. I asked him about it afterwards and he told me it was a broadcaster. I politely hinted that he should get rid of his other guitars 😆. I’ll never forget that. That guitar was pure rock & roll. It was magic. I got an education that day.

That grain pattern does, indeed make it instantly recognizable. Back in 1980 when I was a starving college student in Chicago with serious vintage guitar fever there was so little solid info out there. I remember seeing that advertisement photocopied somewhere and thought "That grain pattern is so unique, I wonder where that guitar could be now?" Fantastic!

Came for the tele, stayed for the playing.

Lemmo not even wearing a ring when handling this one, that's a valuable guitar!

[franklinwilson]

Most pure electric guitar tone I have ever heard

[Warrior_Pilgrim]

I am never disappointed in the amazing Lemmo.
He plays every guitar beautifully……

[larrylambert]

The distorted tone on the bridge pickup just sounded like American rock to me. Crisp and clear with attitude in spades. Iconic.

[zacharykarras]

The whole experience today was magical. Sometimes, a really gifted player like Mr. Lemmo just connects with a guitar, and the result? We just heard it. That thing is an Excalibur with boundless tone.

[davidkieltyka]

Too cool! I’ve had a blow-up of that catalog photo on my home office wall for at least 25 years. Never expected to actually hear that same instrument.

[phildiegidio]

Doesn't get much better than that. Just so much history. Amazing.

[ericb]

Leo Fender took those photos himself. That guitar literally came from the hands of Leo Fender. Talk about a piece of history!

And Lemmo's playing ain't bad either!

[chriseklund]

That tone with both pups. Jeez. Player gets the tone out for sure. Magical.

[barrysmith]

Warmest pure tone ever . That tele rings every note in the chord evenly, and the string spacing looks spot on from string to string and from string to frettboard . Guitar of the decade . Santa help . I will be good forever .

[librarianrobert]

coolest thing ever! sounds like a dream when Michael plays it.

[skeetschuler]

Lemmo is the King of hammer ons and pull offs. Masterful

[brianbeaven]

Wow that’s amazing guitar, thanks for sharing with us,
🎸

If memory serves when the selector is in the front it is the neck pickup with the dark circuit. In the middle it is the neck pickup without the capacitor and in the back position it is both pickups and the tone pot acts as a blend so you can mix the signal from both pickups. At least I think that was what Mark said when he demoed Billy Gibbons' Broadcaster about 2 years ago.
