  • @didierklein1328

    Sounds glorious, the body has a nice grain, which is not so common on alder, so I wouldn't put a solid color.

    • @cedarbay3994

      Such a unique color. I had a very rare reissue of one, practically a one-off that ended up in Michigan for some reason. I let it go a few years back, but it was awesome.

I've been wathing your videos for a while now Matthew and i love it. It is so relaxing to watch them, I learnd a couple of new things too, and I keep coming back to some of your videos just to hear that beautiful strat sound. I think that this format in which you talk a bit about guitars and then u play is great. Keep up the good work man!

    It's got a real bright chimey tone to it. Really like that neck pickup, its kind of warm sounding. Keep the color the way it is. I would only give it what it needs (frets / mid pickup) Jumbos for sure.
    #1 is still my fave 🤘

    Hey man. She's pretty dope, for sure, and that board is amazing. Since it's been refinished, why not go for that black refin? Black strats are pretty dope... And get it refreted while your at it.
    Also, I'd get rid of that weird backplate and sand the neck.
    Didn't get what that second string tree hole is- did it have a second one at one point, is that it?
    Thanks for sharing all this cool stuff, mate. Amazing.
    Cheers

  • @paulsharkey6576
    @paulsharkey6576 Před 4 lety

    That's true about the plastic not matching. When they transitioned to the green guard, they had white vinyl pup covers left over. You know Leo. USE THEM!!!! So, they put green guards and white covers.

  • @HiHello-ku1fl
    @HiHello-ku1fl Před 5 lety +2

    Sherwood green would be killer! Or maybe Fiesta red so long as whoever does the refin makes it look like a real vintage Fender color.

  • @denboe2894
    @denboe2894 Před 2 lety

    Carefully look for a broke wire on that mid pickup. Try to peal a wind or 2 outta there, cross the wires or tie them, and hold a match. They might fuse together. I put some finger nail polish on there to stabilize and protect. I had luck like that and saved a PUP before replacing it. I'd try that Fender PUP into the neck position. That amp always sounds great.

  • @jackmilligan550
    @jackmilligan550 Před 5 lety

    I love the uniqueness and character to it. I reckon its worth doing a bit of work and having it as your no.2! One question I have: I have a similar problem with my 60s strat, where I play with a thick string gauge and high action and my vintage frets struggle to cope and tend to fret out during vibrato bends. Is it worth me learning to refret the guitar with jumbos myself or having a guitar tech do it? I'm on a budget you see. Cheers :)

    Hey man, so I own a signature Eric Johnson strat that essentially has a Texas style setup, (without the f hole) and I’m just wondering if you know somewhat affordable fender amps that I can use to kinda get that similar Stevie tone. Not really looking for an actual 59’ bassman or anything like that, but something that will do the job. I’m also hooking up two tube screamers in my rig. (One for turning up to max volume and the other for some gain) if you have any suggestions of some nice affordable amps, let me know 👍🏽

    @stratplayr6997 Před 5 lety

    I agree, I love the player's grade instruments. I would definitely get that refinished in the right color burst and see about getting the logo reapplied. Do the frets if needed. It's got the potential to be a great guitar, I'd hang onto it. Although if you really are selling it, you can contact me!

  • @ayobmohamad5910
    @ayobmohamad5910 Před 5 lety

    fantastic matt! I like to see you fixing stuff.. OK this strat needs to be in fiesta red, will compliment the dark fretboard, and since there are heavy wear on the fretboard, might as well do some heavy relic on the body. Com'on.. I know you like the idea already :) Okok.. just do what you like. (DO IT!) don't forget to show off your other amp. This is gona be interesting!

  • @rockinguitar1017

    Awesome score! If Dick Gruhn has signed that thing off just simply proceed in your personalization ideas and make it your number two!
    -->Anything beats deluxe tuners-lose hokey back plate-save switch if it's robust-make sure ohms are straight/simpatico with every component when addressing middle coil and delight us again when you recreate this gem of a find!
    Color? bridge? decal? tree? Nahhh nobody cares as it's bordering as is into the modify realm and seems to rip just fine.

    This is a prime candidate for a high end refinish. Light, light, light relic, closet classic type of feel.
    That line under the bridge/over the jack looks like the seam of a 2 piece body. That would lend itself to a solid color. Dakota red/old Sherwood green/Shoreline gold/old candy apple red.
    Sounds great.
