- Jay's pick of the day is a Dallas International Guitar Festival find, a beautiful Stratocaster from 1954. A medium weight instrument with a Tadeo Gomez neck date - this guitar has all the '54 parts short of a volume pot. Jay will give you guys the run down on this guitar before handing it over to Aaron Hiebert to plug into the 1966 Fender Pro Reverb we've been running with recently!
For more information about the guitar and amp, please check out:

Beautiful and great playing as usual from this gent.
Really nice dynamics and articulation in the playing!
Sounds incredible. Just like a great old strat should. Well done
Fantastic peice of history! Really Diggin the sound! Again,fine early Strat!
A dear friend has an Aug., 1954 Strat with serial # 1111. It's tremendous.
Yeah my buddy has a 54 and it was surprisingly heavier than I thought it would be Great necks for sure
One of the pest picks of the day ever.
Great combo and Aaron killed it. Very musical.
Thanks for sharing.
Cheers
It’s just amazing hearing tones straight from the original pickups that inspired so much of the guitar world as we know it
This guy can play. Awesome job.
Great combo with that amp.
beautiful stuff is fantastic
Saw 1954 Fender Stratocaster...instantly subscribed
What a jewel.
Ye man, super afordable ajajjaj. Sounds heavenly.
Great sounds.
My old Tele also has an almost one-piece ash body…part of the cutaway horn is a second small piece.
That’s one hot piece of ash. 😎
You probably dont care but if you're bored like me during the covid times then you can watch all of the latest movies and series on instaflixxer. I've been watching with my girlfriend during the lockdown xD
@Keanu Dawson Definitely, I have been watching on instaflixxer for since november myself :D
has this Aaron Hiebert a band or music I can listen to? AMAZING Player!!!
fantastic Vibrato!
Que lindo suena!!!!
My very first guitar was a 1954 Stratocaster my dad gave to me, for Christmas of 1963. Pretty sure it was a pine body, as it had
a couple knots ...
Serial number was 0517 or 0571 ... It went out the back window of my brother's station wagon, 25July1965 on the Jacksonville expressway.
I lived eight years in Tallahassee. Great guitar town. This is a very sweet Stratocaster in every way.
Dang. Retrospect really burns doesn’t it! I’m guessing it was also ash though because we’re building a strat from ash right now and there definitely are knots in ash too! Cheers
@@SeemsLikeSomething Thanks. Nice to know! Yeh, I grieved over that guitar for many DECADES. Just bought an American Original '50s, in White Blonde Ash, and have yet to plug it in as it needs to have the nut cut properly. But the neck is real fat and the guitar has killer acoustic sounds! All the best on your Strat build!

Thanks and have fun with the new axe! A strat is a strat! Just enjoy whatcha got ;)
What happened to it?
@@dathunderman4 It was very dark. Some "nice" fella stopped and picked it up and hauled his lovely self and my guitar into the blackness of the night. Probably been under a bed or in a closet ever since.
0:44 I loved that
Aaron are you a strat guy or just make everything sound that good ?
Love it.....whats the song Aaron plays first?
Hes just arpeggiating D, to G, A, then back to D, so a 1-4-5-1. I'm not sure if he's playing something, or probably just making something up that sounds good, like usual. Many pretty songs are written using this progression. Go to around 5:45, and it'll show the shapes he's using so you can play it too. The D he opens with is a fun shape to learn if you haven't yet. Good luck
Now - that’s a great pairing of guitar and amp. Unlike that Les Paul/Vox fiasco of the other day.
man that was some nice ehhh sheee body 54 ive ever seen...
A lot of that weight was from the bridge block.
Does the 1966 Pro Reverb have a 15" speaker ? I'm digging it's tone
OK just seen the back shot of the amp. Looks like two twelves
@@ireneruthfox The earlier non reverb Pro has the single 15
How’s the music biz in downtown CHAZ?
It's smoking! 🔥
Sorry to say, but ‘54 hasn’t got “single line tuners” Klusons. They came into year of ‘56. ‘54 has got the no stamped covers, but underneath there is the Pat.Pend. stamp.
That is a great piece of ash.
Wow
How much
If I want to buy an original 1954 Fender Stratocaster how much would it cost me?
www.williesguitars.com/product/1954-fender-stratocaster/ You might want to play the lottery first and win.
I have one but this one in vid is in way better shape
Just think, if someone back in 1954 were to have bought this new and hardly ever played it and held onto it for so many years, the guitar would be worth well over a fortune due to a lack of wear and no one messed with it.
Dang bro, that’s a nice ash you got there. Lol
Seriously! Why is it just nearly impossible with all the pickups and technology out there to replicate this sound?
Wood my man
When he said the words 'piece of ash' at around 0.48, something very strange happened in the head and neck area...maybe he said 'piece of ass'...that would explain things.
The sad thing is other than the butchery to the headstock and the pot being replaced that you can still get them with the same wood, same look, sound, and feel of the originals today although not exactly the same. Also you cannot go back in time and get one as they only made so many of these and the good old days are gone forever! Still this has that vintage Fender mojo that even the guitars made today will never posses. Thank you for sharing this with us. Maybe next time have someone really good play this for a demo in a video?
single line klusons on a 54... oopsies
I though people who's watching YT and this channel aren't that rich to be able to buy this guitar I feel like I've been violating reach peoples space I'm sorry.
if i could have any year strat ide want a 59 with a rosewood board maby a blonde or a burst would be fine im not that picky i dont need a fiesta red or anything custom. dose not need to be mint cond a very heavily played guitar is preferred and its ok if a pots ben changed or if its got some extra holes here and their from tuner swaps done eons ago those all add to the uniqueness of the particular instrument. i do prefer original pickups but a rewind wont turn me off all that much if its got a great tone still.unfortunately im poor and will never be able to afford to the privilege of preserving something like this for the next gen of rich people to own as status symbols most likely. as for my dream guitar in reality a player condition 59 is what 30k or more? what working player can afford that? and they will only get more and more valuable i think.
12,000?really
$42,950.00
A 54 neck cost close to 12k bro
Your telling me Fender glued a slice at the arm bevel to the body ??
My understand is there lumber was over sized and hand cut with a band saw you can see this in videos
it makes NO sense...
lumber was cheap in those day especially ash that is why they used it 'NOT FOR TONE''
I have seen Tokie guitars with this same manufacturing fix this is something the Japanese do well
The other smoking gun is the 'F' tuners
In all my years of playing and selling I know of NO player that would replace regular Kluson's for those disasters !!
is it REAL???
The headstock shape seems too angular to me, so I'm suspicious too.
This was pretty common on early fenders where the would glue a small section onto the body like this.
@@tonyevans9999 your right its a fake
Careful Jay! You can get Metoo'd for saying "prettiest piece of ash". (And yes, that was a joke)
Not super light not super heavy On all these videos
Super Medium, dude...
As a player I look at the fingerboard ware this is FAKE
interesting body language in these show and NOT tell videos as a professional annalist it is interesting
also the acquisitions stories are out of a fairy book!!
WTF are you on about thats and learn how to spell ,analyst my ass cant even spell that right. Thats as real a 1954 Strat if ive ever heard one.
