Guitar of the Day: 1956 Gibson L-5 CES Sunburst | Norman's Rare Guitars 

No matter how cool or uncool the guitar is the Lemmo Wizard makes the instrument worth a million bucks. So versatile, just love it. Shout out to the lense Queen, whoo hoo Jen, love you guys. Blessings from Kruger Park in South Africa 🇿🇦🇿🇦

That guitar belongs in a museum 🎨

I really like this guitar! A few observations I've made since watching these episodes are: 1- Norm always gets the coolest guitars. 2 - Lemmo's talent for playing these guitars along with his knack for knowing what to play to highlight them. 3 - Jen's outstanding video work. Outstanding combination! I love these episodes!

Man, you are excellent, very versatile, you extract a good sound from any guitar, and nobody impresses me easily, it is a privilege for the store owner to have an employee of this one, he should be on tour with some famous band.

Fantastic playing. Strange that the Reverb ad never mentions the refin or pickguard. Maybe that’s why Johnny passed

Michael the melody you’re playing really makes me think Steely Dan type of vibe, very righteous

Beautiful L5, nice playing too! I still hear the amp humming, which is why we went to humbuckers.

The couple in the back was like man that guy is good 👍

Another great demo from Michael.

Great job guys!

I was stunned by your playing Michael ….Great adjustment to the arch top , a fine Gibson . 🇨🇦😊🇨🇦😊

Very cool guitar great condition 👍 Great demo Lemmo

I've played and had the pleasure of owning some nice guitars. But thus has always been my holy grail guitar. After seeing Scotty Moore play a blonde one with Elvis. And old school blues players. Love it

Incredible!

Beautiful!

Beautiful Guitar

An awesome spruce top resonating those staple pickups, a sick guitar.

Real Knopfler feel to that first tune. 😎😎😎

Great reverb. I didn't know guitars made back then had it or needed it.

Omg what’s the first song he plays? He played it in another video before but it sounds so beautiful! 🔥

Very cool. Would love to see you profile different amps from time to time.

Looks like Lemmo was out in the rain.

Really enjoyed this GOTD Michael... Thanx (!)

Very pretty. I had a later version. Humbuckers. But these are just the very best!

Lemmo is a force of nature

Wood that sings!

Beautiful Guitar and Great Demo Michael

Very nice guitar. I'd love to own a natural version. Is the fretboard made of ebony?

Lemmo on fire! 🔥🔥🔥

I love staple-pole P90s! Anybody notice that those are out of phase in the middle position? Not an uncommon occurrence with Gibsons and Epiphones in the ‘50s and ‘60s. I used to have a ‘61 Epiphone Broadway on which the pickups were out of phase with each other.

Ok you sold me ! I’ll take it! There may be an issue of price.🧐 I could afford the cable!😏

Sounds so raw and woody

Are those the same pickups as the "staple"pickups that were in the Les Paul Customs for a time?

Love a good semi-hollowbody Gibson! Lovely sound! However! Gotta do a Maton!

What’s the name of the first song lemmo played? I want to try and learn it ! ✌️

This guy can flat out play.

is it a hollowbody or have guitars like these a special name? and how is the sound when it playing with no amp? sounds like a western guitar?

Nice, he's playing "Games People Play" by The Alan Parson's Project.

Whatever you do today, You Gotta Nix That Hairstyle Lemmo!!!!

Whats a beautiful rythemn part! 3:54

Great job…

" That's how you know it's cool" 😎

Scotty Moore had one similar to that except that it was natural.

rock on brotha

Stella

Lemmo The Looper 😁

Somebody knows the song om 06.00? I forgot the name, sorry! :-)

What’s the song at 6:26?

Having 2 staple pickups has to be cool

another psychedelic lemmo demo to put you to sleep!

Lammo strikes again...Never fear Lammo is here...

How much is it...for Lemmo 😉

I love watching you play, could you get the people in the store to stop talking for 10 minutes? You could get one of those signs like at a golf tournament.

Let’s hear Johnny B Goode!

That is the blackest tightest grained ebony fretboard I've ever seen.

Nice p90 staples

Lemmo! You must advertise washboards in the Appalachian Mountains. Success is guaranteed.

Lemmo - Did you comb your hair with a rock from the parking lot? 🪨

1956!!! That's older than Jesus!

Love the guitar, sorry to say I did not love the demonstration. So my thumb down was for for a poor demo.

Sounds too good. 20 racks though?

Not a single jazz guitarist that you could have brought in for this thing...?

More f'ng elevator music by the king of elevator music himself Michael Lemmo

Soy boyyyyy

Lemmo back to back days with the greasy grease hair

Dawg turn your reverb down and let this guitar breathe

Wonder if anybody would buy a beat to shit reissue "reliced" version of this?? LOL

This is a jazz guitar only...no garbage should be played on this.!!!!!!

Did you sleep in your car?
