  • Today we have an incredibly special guitar to share with you, a vibey hardtail 1959 Fender Stratocaster that spent time as a house-guitar in Antone's Nightclub down in Austin, Texas! It has been in the hands of quite a few major players, including Stevie Ray Vaughan and Kenny Wayne Shepherd, and has now found its way into our shop! Jay is here to tell you all about this incredible instrument, before handing things off to Aaron Hiebert for a demo through the trusty 1978 Fender Vibrolux Reverb we have here right now as well!
    For more information on the guitar or amp, please give us a call!
    Music: The Hollers "Zeb" (Instrumental)

    If the sky that we look upon
    Should tumble and fall
    Or the mountain should crumble to the sea

    No, I won't shed a tear
    Just as long as you stand, stand by me

      Stand by me, Strat brother ... One of the greatest songs/recordings of all time, with perhaps the world's greatest musical interlude every recorded. Good catch!

    That wasn’t a demonstration that was a mini concert of Stratocaster mastery! One the best sounding my old ears have heard on CZcams. I don’t want to own it I’d just like to play it and walk away satisfied. I hope the next owner plays it and doesn’t make it a museum piece!

    WOW! This is my favourite Haron’s demo so far. I always feel like he don’t really seem impressed about the gear, like if it was just a good guitar, especially in the ‘58 korina V demo. But for this one, Haron look like he can feel the mojo out of this strat. Thanks ECG for your awesome upload everyday. It make my life better.

    I've played and collected Stratocasters over 33 years, even heard and played some really amazing vintage ones with my family owning a pawn shop in the mid 90s, and I can't think of lusting after another one much more than this.

    Trust me. I love Stratocasters. My first guitar was a 1954. My second guitar was a 1964. Been playing them for 57 years. But I sure would love to see some early '60s SG Standards and Specials ... even some really good Custom Shop reissues ... Surely, you get one in now and then?

  • @andrewkemp1882
    @andrewkemp1882 Před 3 lety +3

    As lovely as this guitar is, I think the credit for the tone in this video should go to the amp. I have a suped up 79 Vibrolux and it sounds like this. The small transformers and the 10” speakers, plus tube rectifier, are a magical combination - it is sweet but really screams when you push it. I suppose if I had a million, I’d buy the guitar and keep it locked in a safe. The better buy is in the amp. Someone should go and get it.

    I started playing seriously, in 1961. I was in and out of music stores even at that age, and I do not remember ever seeing an original mint green pickguard ... they were all white or turtleshell (not tortoiseshell). I could be wrong, but I think those were the only two original pickguard colors, that I can remember. This IS a sweet Strat, by the way! And you can stand by me, on all of that!
