Jen seems like a awesome person. I wish her well in her travels. I've been praying for her grandfather daily. Thank you Mark and Jen for all the great videos.

[@dbeasleyphx]

I've been watching these GOTD for ages and this is the BEST sounding guitar yet.

[@Gretev1]

David Beasley 1964 Strats sound great because Fender started using enamel wire in the pickups. Gives them that mid scooped tone. 1965 they used polysol and switched back to enamel in 1966 and onwards...

[@mrpitiful27368]

Are you kidding?! Yellow Ledbetter, Lenny, and All Along The Watchtower on freakin Straturday? And on a rad ‘64 too? Best Straturday in a long time!!!

[@anthonynonya]

Sweet strat. Every time that Pearl Jam song starts I think it's Jimi for a second. Love it. Great episode as usual. Mark should've brought extra shirts and not mentioned the pre-recording to check if anyone would notice.

[@larrygeetar9309]

Very nice on Lenny, Mark. Man, Stevie was so great. He did his guitar player's home- work and whenever you hear the intro to Lenny you hear how much he absorbed Hendrix. I hear it and I just get this great picture in my mind of Stevie playing this live and how deep he was into it. He was truly a master guitar player, as good as any on the planet and better than all but a select one: Jimi Hendrix. Great demo, super guitar. '64 Strat and a Deluxe reverb, a match made in Gear Heaven. I'd put Jeff Beck right there at the top, too. He's the only guy that ranks with Jimi and SRV, Clapton and Duane Allman. One man's opinion. Thanks for the best series on youtube, Mark and Jen.

64/65 is definitely my favorite era of Fender. Dig it.

[@ihatevideos12512]

I could listen to that tone continuously for the rest of my life

[@michaelsolan7078]

Very tasty playing, Mark. Love to listen to you every night. Keep up the great playing!

[@pneumatic00]

64's. The best ones. Just the way it is.

[@Geronimo122]

Iconic tone from this one-- classic!

[@daves.2111]

Cassandra: "Wow, a 1964 Fender Stratocaster with triple single coil pickups and a whammy bar." Wayne: "Pre CBS Fender corporate buyout." Cassandra: "I'd raise the bridge, file down the nut, and take the buzz out of the low E." Wayne: "God I love this woman."

[@MrStranger1944]

[@fenderjazz6213]

[@fionabirkmire2874]

[@DrRoCkSo221]

On one of these Straturdays, you gotta play some Robert Cray, that'd be super rad

[@superchefno1]

Best wishes for a great vacation Jen!

[@beatlebassmaniacjp8311]

Mark I would love to able to jam on some of these classic guitars and basses u get to jam on !! U are a lucky man !! 😊

[@davidkieltyka9]

Just to note: Fender started using the “transition” logo before CBS took over. It’s just coincidence that the logo change and the company sale happened kinda around the same time. All the mid ‘60s Strats I’ve been lucky to play have been real good ‘uns. Bite and oomph!

[@GeoffreyGentryMusic]

Classy picking, Mark. I wish you would have played Robin Trower's Daydream. Oh well. Beggars can't be choosers.

[@inuitcallboy2923]

Yeass you played yellow ledbetter :D

[@boss123400]

Great, great guitar! 🌶🔥❤️

[@catfishmudflap]

[@brodywise4750]

The "Transition" logo was actually used before CVS bought Fender

[@douglaswalther8489]

The Jacket!

[@eddieschneider6578]

[@seashift4743]

Great strat and awesome set list

[@StephenMorganCanada]

My ‘64’s build twin.

[@RandyReiss]

Can't go wrong with Leo fender!!!!!!!!!Nice 64!!!!!!!!!!

[@jeffreygian3702]

Awww that sound though cant get it out of mind

[@mickymillersson4376]

In 1972 I had a friend who had a 64 Strat just like this one. He was in the RAF in Cyprus in the late 60s and bought it from a US serviceman. By 72 the frets were very worn so he traded it for a new Strat. Who knew then what a crap deal he'd made.

[@kungstu22]

Now that is how you do that.

[@jimfitzgerald6510]

Wow

[@erminioottone2861]

That Gucci Gang arrangement was perfect!

[@nick1226]

[@christophermondoux8408]

[@Avalanche1368]

Shades of "Southpark"?

[@SuperLuchadore]

Damn!

[@7viewerlogic670]

Awesome!

[@timlilly]

Yeah great strat. Last 64 I played was flat and lifeless but this one has got something about it.

[@LimitWHK]

I liked that last one Rory Gallagher for Good ol fluro flash

[@Bodyknowledge77]

1. Pearl Jam "Yellow Ledbetter" 2. SRV "Lenny" 3. Ahhh J.H/B Dylan..maybe?..:-0 "Along The Watchtower" Mix in some workouts with your Strat play so you don't become (or stay) a Fat Strat Cat! :-) I'm hungry!

[@pizzaface4079]

Bodyknowledge 77 ok thanks popeye

[@Bodyknowledge77]

Pizza_Face no prob mangiamug

[@pizzaface4079]

Bodyknowledge 77 😂

[@tangoalfa1970]

So weird! When I saw the thumbnail I thought to myself, hey Yellow Ledbetter would be cool to hear on that guitar.

[@RockHardRiffs]

I prefer the spaghetti logo. Not so in your face as block I guess. Excellent straturday!

[@TraditionalToolworks]

What about the rear pickup, looks cleaner and newer, at least the cover...did Storman Norman check that out?

[@stkbkr1]

No skunk stripe, a beauty. Rock on!!!

[@titok49]

I'm wearing my "David Lee Roth for President" t-shirt!

[@GuitarMan1334]

Hey Mark can you play some I walk the line on the next Acoustic Guitar of the day? If you could that’d be awesome dude

[@stewartross13]

[@danieldecrosta9762]

[@greensombrero3641]

[@guigopedersoli]

Absurdo o timbre... 👏👏👏

[@vhego]

[@justinlee9756]

Mark thumbing or choking that major 7th chord in Lenny ,nice technique for a tough chord to hit in prgression

[@nicolasgonzalez1419]

[@johnfrederick6164]

Tom petty played a 64 strat great guitar r.i.p Tom

[@Klang4evre]

Rip indeed. But I think his was a replica

[@SUPERTOASTER45]

Lenny 👌

[@wingracer1614]

Years ago I had this girl move in with me that was a fantastic classical pianist. Being a classical fan myself we talked about our favorite composers and pianists for a while but then she asked about the guitars I had around and my favorite guitarists. The first thing I did was break out my SRV CDs and play Lenny for her. She loved it. Absolutely glorious piece of music.

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

wingracer 16 if she digs this song, she will absolutely ADORE it after she hears the story behind it. Just in case you've never heard or read it, this is the story, straight from an interview with Stevie's widow, Lenore, a.k.a., Lenny: According to Lenny, Stevie found this beautiful red Strat at a pawn shop somewhere where they'd been living at the time, but they couldn't afford the $600 price tag. So, as usual, when a musician spots an axe that we really, REALLY want but can't have, we WILL at LEAST drive or walk by it every chance we get. One day, Lenny got the idea to ask their friends to see if they could each chip in $50 for this red guitar that Stevie wanted so badly...and they did! Yep, 12 friends later, she went to that pawn shop, and bought the beautiful red Strat, to give to Stevie who, according to Lenny, wouldn't put it down, and played it all day and night! The next morning, Lenny woke to the sound of SRV, playing his new favorite Strat. When she asked how long he'd been up, playing, he replied, "All night, baby. Come on over here and listen to this song I just finished writing." And with that, Lenny was the first person to hear the song, Lenny, on the lovely red guitar Stevie had named after his wife, "Lenny." Man, what a great story!! 😀

[@vincedavis4205]

C U Next Tuesday ✌️

[@rickenbacker40011]

Stratocastaturday yes my day on Saturday

[@davidcotton6999]

Hey beautiful guitar but you forgot to mention a couple of things. The bridge pickup cover looks like a replacement and the last clay dot has also been replaced?

[@skimmer521]

OOOOOh, Jimmie's people are gonna be so madd at you....

[@fenderjazz6213]

skimmer521 Jimi did not write " all along the watchtower......Bob Dylan....

[@RubbelisPro]

Shit it's not like Bob Dylan is gonna be nice about it either.. can't even listen to highway 61 on here..

[@skimmer521]

Jimmie's people would pull a move on Bob, like Whitney Houston did to Dolly Pardon with her song and sue that he made it famous. lol

[@aidan-ch4ck]

The person recording this has such good technique. How are her hands so steady? Also cool guitar.

[@neilnocom282]

I hope you can play Neon By John Mayer next week once Jen is back.

[@bennelson4439]

Lovely strat. Do a Teisco.

[@Avalanche1368]

That's the TONE!

[@marksimpson7527]

Please play some monks on thumping Thursday please!!!!! Ps beautiful guitar, don’t know why someone would but a guard on the back though!😂

[@jamesthe-doctor8981]

What's up, I thought you guys pre-recorded some of these so we wouldn't have to miss any episodes while Jen is gone, but I'm not seeing any. Or did one get uploaded, and I missed it??

[@CaptainSexy90]

Tell me about your watch, Mark :)

[@eddieschneider6578]
