Have you guys listened to the lemmo demo?
I haven't listened to the demo, but I'm really digging his new full length. Some really cool sounds on there.

Been playing his new album a lot these last few weeks, really like it. His first release is really good too.

Hes become a really big inspiration in my own playing these last few years, not that I'm claiming to be anywhere near his skills!

For its size & specs this is the best flat top I've heard in a long time. What an amazing sounding guitar!!

That thing is clean - it looks like it was built yesterday.

There you go. From 30 years unplayed in a rich collector's warehouse to the hands of a young talented guitarist who plans to play it for the rest of his life.

The cranky anti-hoarder crowd just got a big win.

Crazy to hear he was living in his car when he met Norm. Glad he's building an audience. He deserves to make a living off of his music - I hope he manages to do so.

It does make me insanely jealous he's getting those guitars for free. I'm pretty sure someone bought him that fiesta jag, a gretsch, and this blue jazzmaster. All vintage, all a pretty hefty price tag each. I need to start impressing some rich people or something.

I need to expand my imagination to come up with music like that.

I've only watched his vids with offsets...but I'm guessing his vids with other guitars (Gibsons, etc) are just as good?

Totally. Dude obviously loves offsets but these days I watch him for what i consider to be a reasonably unique playing style.
