At this point it's sounds so great you dont even care if it's a real or a fake.
THIS!!! Agreed.
I was going 2 say the exact same thing.!
MAN that guitar sounds good.....!
It's mostly the amp and his playing though.
@@jl_woodworks It is all of it. His talent, the amp & the guitar. If he plugged in an Ibanez Jem and he played through that amp, it would not sound like that! Eveything plays a part... 🎸 ✌️
That's pretty much what I was going to post and you beat me to it.
If it sounds that good, looks that good, plays that good, it's real.
What I love about your channel is you find these old guitars and amps and play them for us and we get to hear what authentic gear really sounds like. Then I see how close I can get with my modern gear. And your playing is great too! Thanks for all you do.
You too eh? Cool
@@sixstringcity3931 yup, I'm thinking of doing several videos about dialing in classic rock and blues tones on a Boss Katana. I haven't found many CZcamsrs that talk about getting classic tones with solid state amps (other than Dave Simpson) and since so many people have Katana amps now it may be a good niche.
@@Ray-Angel I'd check that out!
@@engelsjn you know where to find me. I'll see if I can do something this weekend.
Thanks Ray, means a lot! 🤘🏻
That Bold as Love intro really fits the large headstock Hendrix vibe
Love that “Bold of Love “ inspired solo in the beginning. Every time you play it makes me feel like tossing my guitar away. You’re so darn good! Keep it up.
lol, makes the opposit to me, everytime i hear him play, i wanna grab my strat :D
@@NERDOFUNK I hear you. Keep playing that strat!
“as”
Kinda sounds like SRV from his song "life without you"
I heard a lotnof Warren Haynes in that intro playing.
Can't wait for every show. Thanks so much. I'm 63 and I remember so much great fender guitar work from days gone by. Please keep it up!!
thank you so much for saying that Glen✌🏻
i don't know why, but this guitar is one of the most beautiful guitars I've ever seen. loved to hear that beauty.
🙌🏻🙌🏻
It is a super sweet ax! And based on the tone- it's real; those pickups don't lie!
I really like the guitar’s you get. They’re meant to be played. They beat overpriced guitar’s you can only keep in a case or hang on the wall. Thanks Matthew, can’t wait to see what’s inside. And what you find out. ✌🏼🎶
I love the beater guitars! ✌🏻
You’ve influenced me to get refinned etc fenders to go with my vintage amps collection
Hendrix eras are so underrated it looks good to me on account of the dots and decal and veneer board being hard to fake. Love it PLEASE KEEP IT YOU GOT THE CHOPS DUDEEEE
very right Baron! ⚡
It looks like honest wear on it and common replacements
@@MatthewScottmusic it's my all time favorite Era. Irregardless to the non pre CBS-ness of it, it's still not the full blown CBS you know? It's so aesthetically beautiful the slightly bigger pearl dots, veneer board, big headstock no bullet, bursts from the era are a little redder(sometimes). I love the pickups from this era. Such a look and a sound. You fucking rock dude it totally suits you!
Love the way you played that guitar! Love the white tuner knobs with the white body.
perfect combo!🙌🏻
Yeah, does make it unique. Possibly why they're on the guitar!
Amazing Hendrix playing at the end!!!!! This white Strat sounds fantastic
This guitar really has Hendrix vibes, for me not so much for resembling the maple cap olympic white, but reminding me of the rosewood olympic white he used in late 67 and throughout 68, namely for the Miami Pop festival.
I really love the way you are and have been a great player who inspires us all, yet somehow you still keep on improving and naturally developing your style more and more. ✌
Thank you Matthew, for letting your heart pour out of your guitars through your playing. You are one of those special players. Thanks so much for sharing your gift with all of us.
"Little Wing" when played by you, brings tears to my eyes.Thanks, man!
Play on, Maestro! Can't wait till next episode to find out!
Beautiful playing and excellent presentation! Always look forward to these videos! 👍
That tuning peg! I love it. Beatiful guitar and great play as always. Thanks for vid!
You do manage to find some of the coolest stuff, Matthew. However the parts came together, they came together nicely, and you always manage to make them sound great.
I’m gonna say that’s the best sounding “fake” I’ve ever heard. I’ll take it off your hands!!! 😎
🤣✌🏻
Me too ..I will have it in heart beat ..love it !!
White with Rosewood is such a classy looking combination. Sounded amazing too 🎸🔥 🎸
It’s got lovely voicing through your amps
Through that Super Reverb, that sounds absolutely amazing
What a cool tone - "smokey" is the only adjective that I could think of.
Your playing sounds so soulful and raw. Better than a record. On any guitar. It seems a pretty legit body find the finish!
You make me wish I hadn't sold off my guitars from way back then Matt! Love to see you bringing them to life!
What guitars did you have if you remember?
There's many I wish I didn't sell as well lol!
I don't think those are additional string tree holes. I think those are remnants from a Floyd Rose bar.
You can imagine it all 80s with humbuckers etc and someone bringing it back!
Love your channel, man. Played drums for 30yrs but know a lot about guitars and appreciate your vintage focus on the gear you present. I don't think most young people understand the vintage.
Never get tired of listening to this man play. So good.
This has gotta be my favorite YT channel. PATIENTLY (?) waiting for your album to drop...
Another lovely find and thanks for sharing
You are my favorite youtuber
You always inspire me to work hard to get better at playing
Hey Matt.
Great video. I'd love to see a video on that 60s Fender Bassman you have in the backgrund. Keep up the good work!
Love yours vids!
Would love to see under the guard! For a late 60s strat it has a real “fresh” glow. Looks like it has been well taken care of but also loved and played. Cant get enough of the checked chunky headstocks!! Love this video man can’t wait for the next
the headstock is certainly chunky!🤘🏻
That bit when you went “biiw niiw diddly niiw” was 🔥
Longest fingers I’ve ever seen. Perfect paws for the axe.
Could listen to your playing all day man. Incredible feal
A cool axe even as a parts-caster! And some fine chops you just ripped out there so thanks.
Thanks for playing!
Matt, check the pickups, they sound like Abigail era. As soon as you plugged in my ears perked up cause i had a set in an old strat of mine that I don’t have anymore. Good stuff!
I have a set of Abigail Custom Shop pickups in my Strat, and they don't sound that good!
Abigails have a springy airy tone that aets em apart to my ear anyway
Matt you find the coolest guitars to research and play!! I always enjoy your mystery purchases. I also have to comment on your hair. You are growing it out to a vintage rock star look. Keep it up and always ROCK ON!!!
Serial numbers on neck plates seem questionable as means to authenticate to me. A strange thing for any manufacturer to do.
I dont mine if its fake its just a werry nice sounding strat to my ears. a joypad to the amps you play. SO dame nice. You just made my day Scott!!!!!
I like four Springs on my strats as well Three Springs is not enough if you wanted it to stay in tune while you float the bridge
Super guitar + sounds great. In the 80s it was pretty hard to find an original, untouched, 60 or 50s Strat or Tele. That was 40 years ago.
Really enjoyed your playing in this video. Your understanding and appreciation of Jimi is entering Eric Johnson territory. Thanks for keeping the Midnight Lamp burning.
I didn't even know the first music played, but I was pretty sure it was Hendrix! Such a distinct style he had.
I have a 1967 and it has the transition logo so maybe the neck plate was left over from '67. Beautiful guitar dude!!! And awesome playing as always :)
thanks for that info Ben!✌🏻
man I needed inspiration and always get it back with a video like this , thanks buddy
Man.... You got the Blues real BAD!! Awesome thanks Matthew!!
Whether or not the guitar is real doesn’t matter when you can shred the way you do my lord “bold as love” is one of my favorite Hendrix songs and I loved your bit at the beginning
I have a ‘66, all original Olympic White Strat. The tuners do not have plastic buttons (they’re all metal, vintage with
metal knobs), nor do they have the “F” on the tuner housings. Serial # is 143 - - - , which puts it in ‘66. The neck
date is stamped on, June 1966, while the neck and middle pickups are July ‘66 and the bridge pickup dates to
October ‘66. These are all written in pencil by whoever assembled the pieces. The body also dates from ‘66, and
it has an “F” neck plate. It’s real - and it’s spectacular, to paraphrase Terri Hatcher in that Seinfeld episode!
Good stuff Matthew! You’re 100% one of my favorite guitar players in general. Your playing has become a huge inspiration to me. Also, when’s the album coming out man? Can’t wait!
Another incredible video, thank you!
I’m really glad finding a lot of success you seem like a really good dude!
The specs look like a '68-'71. It's not inconceivable that they could pull a neck plate out of a bin in '68 with a '67 serial.
Those white tuners look awesome! I'm now thinking of putting white tuners on my white strat😁
If I'm reading the neckplate serial number right I see 191515 which would date it to an early 1967 number. Hopefully the pot codes match up to that.
Great to have you back with another great guitar ! My thoughts, for what it's worth, are that it's a late 60s partscaster, with the refin done in the very early seventies - a Woodstock tribute of sorts - to give it time to check/age nicely. Any olympic white original nitro finishes from that period would have yellowed [the top coat laquer obviously] considerably. Was this a white refin with a non-nitro laquer ? Really looking forward to seeing what's inside !
Most people that refinished their old guitars did it with car lacquer and just things they could find around the house. If refinished I would guess it's done with something poly/plastic or alike
I believe you are right on the time period! It appears to be nitro and is yellowed a bit but doesn't show up that well in the video.
Man, your playing is just phenomenal! I could listen to you play all day! I bet the aura of these old axes bring out inspiration!
You are getting better and better Matt. Born into it.
I kind of like the look of the plastic knob tuners. Ironically I have a 66 Mustang and it’s tuners were replaced with metal knob strat tuners back in the day! Love how every guitar has a story
i don't really think it matters what it is. going through them old amps with you at the controls it sounds like KEEPER to me !
Bridge pickup is nice and thick sounding. Very balanced across all pickups. Always heard that the enamel wire from that era was less bright.
Man you really got a style in everything you touch - keep rockin’
OK I've listened to the first few chords and I'm convinced this is the real deal, you cannot fake that tone!!
What a beauty!
Jack ~'()'~
Still waiting for your album of solo guitar demos. ;-) Great content, thanks.
Please keep us updated. Great playing and content.
You should put a warning label on this.
I just woke up from a nap and felt like I was getting abducted by aliens with those licks and tone.
Fake or not you make it sound awesome.
Man!! What an Awesome guitar !!
i like the 3 bolt system for attaching the neck
Great Vibes and tones coming out of that old board..... once again, nice find Matthew.
Dating it with absolute assurance may be difficult, but it sounds awesome, so in the end that's the most important thing.
Ur tone is ridiculously good. I want you to play at my funeral
That sounds awesome great find
Beautiful sounds man ☺
Great stuff man!!! Can't wait to get home from work and play along, try and pick something up. Thanks
Thats the tone !!
I know the Hendrix white was maple and I 100% love maple necks I still feel that colour looks better with a rosewood neck though I don’t own a white strat but I’m starting to think if I ever do it would be rosewood
What a great intro Matthew!
Hey, main - I like that Strat. I hope it turns out to be a real vintage one. If not, it's still a pretty cool little thing.
Love the white tuning keys. Reminds me of my old Fender Mustang.
Tone is better than vintage. Really nice stuff!
I got a new Olympic white strat yesterday. Classic Cheerios!
Nice ! Probably a '66 to '69, I think body is original too. One string tee added, and these are tuners from a Bronco or a Mustang. Neck plate number is from a '66 or '67.
Hi…what is the signal chain? Amps, pedals, mic, plugins?
What matters is does it inspire and make great music?YES
I always enjoy the playing in these videos.
I knew within the first five seconds of hearing it. I think you have a real gem there...
It could be a 67 with a refin. They went to the black logo sometime that year over the gold transition logo from 65/66. I'm sure once you get inside you'll find out more.
Sounds incredible. Not much else to say. It just sounds fantastic.
All Strats sound fantastic through those amps. Get yourself a good amp
thanks Chris! ✌🏻
This guitar definitely has mojo!!! That aged headstock with the white tuners is beautiful.
its a great combo!🙏🏻
It sounds amazing!
I couldn’t see it very well in the video, but are the holes for the trem cover where you’d expect? They looked pretty even with each other.
Can you demonstrate that clean tone again, but this time can you do it for about 30 minutes. THANKS!
Thank you, very interesting! A look at reverb tells me this was in the 8k to 10k range or so? The natural relic is awesome. And real
I ENJOY EVERY EPISODE! BROTHER'S GOT CHOPS FOR DAZE!! GREAT GUITAR!
Of all the guitars i've Heard you play,i think this Is my favorite!beautiful White Stratocaster! It's sound amazed me, but it's sound Is your sound!! It could become your favorite Stratocaster!! Thank's for your Music!!
Definitely thinking parts caster! Cool!
That thing sounds like Electric Ladyland, definitely has mojo!
Fake or not, that one is a keeper!
Looking forward to seeing what’s inside that beauty.
