GOLD 1966 Stratocaster?? This is freakin Cool..

[@KingofPho75]

I pulled the trigger on a gold squier strat too. Great minds think alike.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Dude sick😎✌🏻

[@AB-vn2jc]

KingofPho75 Squier is not that bad, maybe put some Texas Specials or CS pups

[@stuartmeyer2689]

Matthew i believe you are one of only a few elite that do the SRV tone justice....it’s really like listening to Stevie himself...keep on rockin brother✌🏼✌🏽

[@MatthewScottmusic]

That means so much thank you.

[@XLBiker13]

Congratulations! Sounds great and your playing, as always, is excellent. Your biggest asset in the vintage game is that you're not looking for guitars that are 100% right. You're not afraid of things like a refin, some overspray and a rewound pickup or replaced pot, etc. As much as you love guitars you also look at them as tools and evaluate what you can get out of a guitar despite its "flaws". And those flaws (or modifications) drop the price of a vintage guitar dramatically. Your mindset has afforded you a nice little arsenal of gear. Always a pleasure watching your videos. Thanks.

[@stephenstevens6573]

So many players neglect the lower register on these guitars. I dont understand that. They have real balls down there. I'm glad you play the ENTIRE neck. shows the real sound of these old beasts!

[@haroldhatley4275]

Mike, you just proved its not about gigs or shows or even showing off. Its all about a guitar you feel and sitting on your couch and expressing whats inside with that guitar. I salute you man, and thank you.

[@Vigi]

I just love this style of playing! You’re amazing!! The vintage guitar emphasize your style perfectly!! 👌

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thank you so mcuh!

[@gelatosamurai]

Your playing in the opening shot is my favorite this far. Beautiful stuff mate.

[@steveneastburn1253]

Thats one of the best strats I've ever heard.

[@BentTom]

It plays and sounds even better in person. It blew me away when I played it.

[@horrorview]

Came for the guitar, stayed for the abso-fucking-lutely MIND-BLOWING chops. Dude...you rock!

[@nicholastotoro7721]

A *real* transition logo Strat for you this time, even with a big headstock!!! Definitely a keeper.

[@BentTom]

My buddy bought this Strat from Matthew.

[@poe12]

O gee the sound of strat is soooooo good instantly.... :-)

[@ColinDaviesGTR]

My favorite guitar in your collection

[@gregwilson2721]

66 fenders are real sleepers. great guitars. best necks ever. try a 66 jazzmaster neck sometime

[@normjones6916]

Inspiring licks galore; and those funky chords I had forgotten about those extentions, nice

[@jcburger733]

I love when you get a new guitar in the mail and open the box and give the quick overview of what you are seeing. It is priceless. Of course I also like when you put the guitar through the paces. You really are one helluva a guitarist!

[@miguelzamora5247]

Looks like the one John Mayer played at Vultures

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Dude yes!

[@shartne]

That is one of the best sounding strats I have ever heard before. Really has a lot of bass for strat its awesome. The strat has some balls. Like someone else said it sounds thick.

[@davestatham812]

This 60's strat sounds beautiful man, well done, great pure tone,🙏👏👏👏

[@ДмитрийКушкин-й2с]

Cool! It's much better then modern custom shop. They cannot get that original sound today.

[@alanlatimer1024]

Fantastic guitar tones and playing as usual Matthew cool vintage Strat of course

[@jtp1138]

From Boston... Again, another great view! Sweet Strat!

[@deormanrobey892]

Matthew "full bend Strat guy" Scott strikes again. 😎

[@jomamma1750]

Just about the time that I am beginning to think this strat has a very nice traditional Texas Blues sound you start playing some SRV. Put a smile on my face and that is a fact. Congrats, quite a nice find there. Peace.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Awesome man. Love srv!!

[@timpage9195]

Great Axe, Love those old Strats especially when they look like they have been played, And ofcorse your playing is just Outstanding..As Always. Thanks

[@JazzStrat781]

Wow, love that Strat! It's gorgeous, pretty jealous here! Best to you man!

[@thereallbking]

I've always wanted a vintage Gold strat!!

[@stkbkr1]

Beautiful guitar brother, you are my favorite guitarist of all time. Rock on!!!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thank you my friend!!

[@justj5s644]

These videos always can make a bad day, a good one. Thanks for that. Cheers

[@kadenlynch6646]

If you could do a video in what you look for when you buy these guitars for all of us, beginners, out there that that would be amazing!!! Keep up the great work Thanks, bro

[@HeROsiNhEaVeN]

Ah man brotha......you keep living the dream ! 🙏🏻✌🏻

[@georgebentley-ricardo9445]

Beautiful man, just beautiful. I can't think of anything else to say about it 😱🎸 Keep up the good work Matthew You are an inspiration I would love to see you take the pick guard off and have a look inside, I'm sure you will fix the switch to. Peace 😃🎸

[@conanthedestroyer7123]

What a sweet guitar. Holy shit! It sounds like it deserves its own name.

[@davidledford6482]

squier classic vibe 50,s are great,i have the first year 2008,also the guy who taught me has a sunburst 66 and a 64 strat really cool,an very used looking..rich,an warm,an wonderful..and a 57 i think les paul t v special i believe it is,an a houseful of s g,s an other strats etc...

[@davidchrisman5454]

Hi Matthew! I always appreciate your sharing cool items and discoveries. I would like to share something with you and you audience. there is a product called Dupont Bug and Tar remover that I began using in 2012 when I was restoring a 1956 stratocaster. If you are careful, you can use it to remove paint that has been applied OVER original Fender nitrocellulose finishes. I was able to remove 6 layers of enamel paint to reveal a Fender original black finish underneath. In addition to the sound being massively improved, it looks great with all its bumps and bruises, and is more valuable because of the original finish. I hope this is a help to you and anyone else that reads this comment. These old Stratocasters are the Stradivarius violins of our era and should be cherished and preserved IMHO.

[@khayward60]

Love it! Living vicariously through your purchases!

[@SummitGuitarSchool]

that guitar sounds great. You've got me wanting to buy a vintage axe....

[@kiaora12]

Not sure which I enjoy more, you’re tasteful playing or all the great vintage Fender gear!

[@brentkeith5030]

Such a cool guitar and my birth year! Thanks for sharing.

[@VegetableMan1400]

Looking forward to seeing under the hood. I would be tempted to try and rub off the gold paint and see what’s underneath!

[@cuauhtemocmorisco3493]

Ooooh this one sounds more thicker and innocent in terms of sound and playability. Definitely keep the pickup and play this more often. 👍👍👍

[@christopherbeason5377]

I’m in love with that funk it has going on man. There’s something different about pickups from that era that really tickles my fancy.

[@FoolishFlock]

God i want a pre-70's vintage strat so bad if i were ever lucky enough to get one which i don't think i ever will but if i did i would never ever need another thing as long as i live!...

[@74dartman13]

Never say never! Make it a goal and it can happen!👍😎🎸🎶

[@kravensoda6038]

Very kool Matt.... & thankx 4 sharing. Xheers! likd 555

[@robertsandoval1120]

Old Stratocaster is a relic for sure.

[@johna1160]

I'd sure be tempted to carefully strip (wet sand?) the DIY paint job. Looks like Sonic, or Daphne blue original finish underneath.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

It's so over sanded everything would be gone

[@brianbond7856]

Beautiful tones Mathew and stellar playing

[@dlux703]

You Got Hands Kid!! Any guitar you lay them on will speak that language. Surely enjoy your licks.

[@ejoey64]

Killer strat Matt! I owned two 66 strats and two 64 strats before..66 won it! Everytimes i try to played any 66 strats i've met and it's always sound sooo good!

[@SteffeLindmanMedia]

Man those pickups and that guitar sounds killer :-)

[@timothywebber7404]

Great player, good hands, double jointed.

[@74dartman13]

Another badass find! It's so cool! Congratulations!👍😎🎸🎶

[@tylerstockrahm3570]

Really digging this old gold finish. Don't see much of that

I really don't like Gibson's that good I don't like Les Paul's but the junior is a whole nother deal

[@barryengle12666]

I absolutely LOVE your guitars man, my first guitar was a 1959 Stratocaster, which unfortunately I was kinda scammed out of before I was old enough to know better, I miss her every day. It’s so cool seeing such gorgeous collection of goodness. Keep it up man

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Ah man you had a good one!

[@Gretev1]

1966 Strats are among my favorites because they have pickups wound with enamel wire which lends them a very mid scooped tone and very mellow and Hendrix sounding. 64 Strats also have these type of pickups!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

These do have a very different sound°

[@Gretev1]

Matthew Scott for sure. They‘re not as snappy as the black bottoms, more round and mellow. I love them!

[@grafen3teiner]

Looks and sounds pretty damn good....

[@straight2helll]

It sounds beautiful ,I would say that one is a keeper.

[@martinwalls7151]

Tone 💪I’m loving these videos! Thank you

[@aaronbrown0417]

This gotta be a refinish cause ion think they offered shoreline gold past 65. But Robert cray made me love shoreline gold strats n i want one

[@jessel1217]

Matt, you're truly an amazing player. You're goin places.

[@cowtowncustoms2110]

[@SunnyKlein-vr7eh]

Master built and custom shop strats and tele’s for up in value as well. Of course those 1950’and 60’s are gonna keep going up but I’ve never seen a vintage strat for $5 or$6g’s so I don’t know where your finding these at for that price🤔

[@WebManNo1]

Sounds killer man. Loving the vids, keep it up!

[@grandudetonesnob7107]

Are you constantly browsing Reverb or you just the luckiest SOB alive?

[@jhendricks02]

probably both

[@Paniiiiiiiiii]

Yea he have too many vintage guitars.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Always on reverb. Little luck involved too

[@MatthewScottmusic]

@ I've bought and traded up for years to get here. Ive also held multiple jobs to pay for this shit. It's something I love doing so I just found a way

[@lassesuurmunne8340]

Matthew Scott nothing wrong with what you’re doing man. I find what you do inspiring. I love the 66 headstock! One day I’ll get a 64 Mustang, that’s my dream 🙏 ✌️

[@francorodriguez4622]

Amazing playing and tone dude, hope you continue growing up in music

[@WorldsOkayestGuitarDemos]

Wow. That is fat sounding Stratocaster. Love it. Wish it wasn’t gold.

[@aaronbrown0417]

Shoreline gold is a beautiful color on strats....I want that and a shell pink those are my dream colors....

[@blackdog8822]

Cool . Sounds good . I don't know about that gold ( Funky Shoreline ) . Peace

Thats a really sweet guitar,and great playing too.

[@MultiSpeedr]

Wow it has the right sound Matthew, definitely Jelly...

[@metalraff]

Sounds great. The spacing around the neck joint seems a bit too wide.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

It's been over sanded every where

[@J_Fowler]

The tone with the TS9 is a 10 out of 10

[@peterpolfeldt3083]

Fantastic sounding guitar.

[@justinbradfield6499]

Wow Matt that thing sounds awesome!!!!!!

[@j_freed]

Brazilian rosewood! I saw this for about C$9600 on reverb, this is really not a bad deal compared to something like like a silly Fender custom shop masterbuilt Cunetto relic, I mean what the hell is that anyway? Some over-decorated Yuppie furniture for nearly the same price? I'm keeping an eye out for a late Sixties Strat because of your channel dude. The way you dive into an online purchase like that is inspiring, but obviously not simple and easy.

[@jacksonfrazier6130]

Great guitar and great playing

[@jackmilligan550]

Proper fucking cool man! I love the fact that you buy old vintage guitars and try to fix some problems and sell them back on; its not only a good money maker, but also fun and entertaining for you but most of all your youtube viewers. We get to see some awesome guitars on your channel. Luckily, also strats are my favourite guitars and you for sure show your fair share of those! Keep it up bro, every video from your channel that comes up on my feed I look forward to watching. You deserve many more subs than you have, its just a shame not enough people understand texas blues these days

[@bobartur1386]

Awesome sounding strat! I don’t know if you’re lucky or everything under your hands plays good! Thank you for all videos man!

[@justinbeech2681]

That is one cool guitar Matt , hope you find sone magic in that Beauty !!

[@KennyLarvitz]

The body seems to have many layers, dark green ( ...not Sheerwood green sadly ), kind of a sonic blue , and gold that is nice !) Transition logo Big headstock etc Keep it and give her a nice refin !! I think at that period It was called « Firemist gold » . Maybe I’m wrong... nice sounding strat ! ;) Hi from France 🤘🏼

[@samroth3521]

Hey Matt I thought it sounded great lots of tone!

[@MrBossei]

Incredible playing!!! 👍👍👍👍👍

[@Hilai619]

Very love aged maple lacquer of the CBS era, deep dark yellow-orange. I would like to refinish my Strat, but scared a little bit of this operation

[@truevintageguitar]

That's a super vibey Strat! Nice score. I love the three way switch so hopefully the out of phase positions will work again on that switch. If I'm not gigging the guitar, I'd much rather have fun hunting for the out of phase positions than just swiping over to them on a five way. Enjoy it!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Yes I would agree my friend😎👌🏻

[@HarryStoneDotCom]

Sweet sounding guitar, and the playing is as great as ever. I had that Analogman modded TS for a while, wish I hadn't sold mine, it is probably in my top 3 favourite OD's with Fender amps.
