Rare Vintage Fender Guitar found in Fort Worth, Texas!

[@BroKnowsGuitar]

Locals need to keep that guitar store in business because it’s an absolute relic as far as music stores go!

[@Patriot-American]

Next time I'm up that way, I'll be going in to have a look. I like the vibe. Old school vibe ...

[@eric_in_florida]

In this episode of Hoarders...

[@russellzauner]

any store that still has sheet music needs to be treasured on basic principles

[@tysonbrown9531]

As a FW lifer, I can confidently say this store is pretty bad. Lol

[@MatthewScottmusic]

For what it's worth, it did feel like a time machine and it was a fun experience.

[@jimdeavenport9952]

Wow! What a coincidence. I have known the man you bought that guitar from for almost 20 years. Dave Sheppard, born and raised in Cowtown. Has been in a rock band of some sort since he was 15. Music has been his life he will tell you. And at 71 or 72 years old is still staying pretty busy with 3 or 4 bands he plays in. He can flat tear it up and one of the best slide players I have ever heard in my life. I'm talking up there with Duane and Dicky.

[@coldshotblues]

Time for a new series! Walking around ma and pa shops looking for gear!

[@foylebutler8952]

That would have been great to see him play. A very low key guy.

[@brahmburgers]

He sounds similar to me. I'm 72, and did my 1st nightclub blues gig at age 15, using a '64 Fender strat. ...in Madrid, Spain.

[@jaxcrax]

Tell him to make up some stories about his guitars. And tell him to start youtube channel.

[@ncc74656m]

Matt buying an ultra rare super vintage guitar in a case in pretty nice condition and chucks it in the back of the van like he's leaving a punk show. You, sir, are a quintessential guitar player and I love what you do, and this just certifies how legitimate you are.

[@Stratocus]

Looking forward to the next episode about this guitar.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

On the way🤘🏻✌🏻

[@livingabovethe12th]

That removed sticker outline on the back is one of the old Music Man store window stickers.

[@saginawdan]

👍

[@MatthewScottmusic]

You might be right!

[@sunnohh]

Don’t fix the finish, it’s perfectly reliced as is!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Probably can't be fixed anyhow.

[@johnsmith-bk4ps]

Bad enough hes gonna tear it into pieces to look at codes, we can see what it is

[@guiart4728]

Congratulations…that last chord you played right before you said “I’ll take it” was so sweet! Looking forward to the setup !

[@jimmyj4811]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride!

[@jltrem]

If ever a guitar had Matthew Scott written all over it......

[@kentpierce9910]

I gotta say as a Marshall man myself I'm stoked to watch the video of your Marshall rig. That cab is awesome in all the right ways. That jazzmaster kicks ass by the way. Great video.

[@outlaw560]

My first guitar was a 62 jazzmaster, I still have. I wanted a Les Paul, but I got what my single mom could afford. It was $125 in 1972

[@robmattsonmusic]

Love my documented ‘62 with OHSC ❤️. I am thankful and blessed to have had this come across my path.

[@pedraw]

That was a lot of money in '72

[@munter10]

A couple of weeks wages… about $2k in todays money

[@munter10]

It would’ve been great to know how much he paid for the cab and the guitar.

[@timotejskokan2068]

I'll take it! ...that got me! 😂👌🏼 Such a great (and funny) moment. And as always, it was a pleasure to watch and hear those beautiful Fender tones! Good luck, and keep going! 🪐🪐🪐

[@permanentwaves4621]

Reminds me of Craig's Music in Weatherford, Texas- not far from there. All vintage gear. You would love it. Its as big as this store, same vibe, everything.

[@nickl2883]

I just sold my 65 jazz master . Mine was a sept ‘65 bound and dot like yours. Except mine was Olympic white with a matching headstock. The blonde and sunburst were the only colors without matching headstock that year. The blondes a pretty rare, nice score congrats

[@TheMotorleague]

I really enjoy these vids where you do this stuff!

[@coolcatsguitars]

Thats how I remember music stores looking before the guitar center days, it was always like a treasure hunt in the store, even the owner didnt know how much stuff he had, he'd be like go ahead and poke around and im looking through dusty boxes of junk and finding old vintage pedals and other things and the prices were not insane yet, around 1981 or so until 1992 that was the sweet spot era for finding great gear out in the wild, nowdays its like going to some sterile soul less crap show

[@Heatfarmer]

I know what you say. I don't care much about vintage stuff anymore. Its too pricey AND too appreciated by all the rack people that didn't give shit about it back then.

[@mpirron1]

Zoo music is not the only throwback guitar store we got, Competition Music is in a little better shape in a much worse part of town.

[@JacobBurkemusic]

Look at pawn shops! Most suck but occasionally you find a gem. I just scored a ‘55 Gibson ES-150 for an incredible steal. They’re out there!!

[@davidbrown-bh7it]

Nice score! Always fun watching you pick up vintage gear. Thanks for sharing!

[@martinharris2113]

I can’t believe how amazing those tones are on that guitar when you played it. I cant imagine it sounding any more kick ass if you raise that pick up. It had a unique kick ass sound. Killer guitar. Great find for you man congrats

[@johnsmith-bk4ps]

Short lived version.. dots with binding

[@estenray5385]

Damn nice patina on that Fender! Doesn’t sound bad either! “I’ll take it!” Yes sir! So would I!!! Congratulations Matthew on another brilliant find!

[@guymaddock648]

Guitar stores like that simply don’t exist in England. I would love to stumble into somewhere like that… ❤

[@linesy77]

He didn’t stumble on it. Somebody has contacted him to let him know they have something he is interested in. No one drives for hour on the off chance they might have something you’ll like…

[@greenmanalishi6963]

[@user-mv5bu2kk8b]

Too much greed and lack of instrument education is th e problem in the iu.k. I lived yhere for 28 years repaired for just as long

[@hkguitar1984]

I think a Marshall setup would really compliment your Fender amps. I'm currently using an old 50W Marshall with a 2x12' along since my '70s Fender Twin Reverb, I feel I've got the best of both, and playing through them together is glorious. Great find on the Cab and Ash JM.

[@johnmarshall3903]

I totally agree with you. Hopefully they'll be some Pulsonics in that cabinet and at least he'll have that out of the way.

[@giacomopandiani6290]

What I like about Matt is that he always get to the point. Fantastic!!

[@AlextheComicHoarder]

Love it! I used to hunt for vintage about 15 or more years ago. It was a passion and an obsession. So much fun and I paid off half the mortgage with the guitars. Have been itching to get back into it.

[@rocinblues]

Sounds great even pre-setup! Nice find!!

[@moosey62]

Man. What a gem. Congrats baddy. I haven't been in a music store like that for many years, either.

[@tinystar3010]

That water leak in that store is extremely concerning. They should have been on top of that situation immediately, closing shop til it's fixed asap. Standing water is bad for a guitar shop. Humidity kills guitars, and electronics.

[@KyleSchwanz]

It’s been there forever lol

[@monrominee]

ya don't say? wonder if the owner knows!

[@MiguelLumberto]

Yeah, its had that leaky roof for like… 20 years 😂

[@herecomesaregular8418]

I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say he knows, and it's a money issue. Both in terms of the fix itself, and the loss in potential revenue from closing until it's done. Sometimes these old buildings make what should be a simple fix into a real quagmire.

[@mohamedtlass3842]

It’s funny how humidity can also be desirable for a guitar too!

[@tjchad1]

I like how the "road trip music" is Matthew's! Works for me...

[@kohcoh]

I really like this video format and hope you do more content like this.

[@joannewerestiuk257]

This is awesome. Your playing is getting really incredible and I always love to hear it. It would be incredible to hear you play through an old Marshall! I think you could do it justice better than most people nowadays

[@notesoftone]

Great find Matt. That store is incredible.

[@aaronmowery]

I grew up going to that shop. Looks exactly the same from 20+ years ago. Sick guitar! Can’t wait to see you get it in order and take it for a rip!

[@hoilst265]

This is what I love about bricks-and-mortar retail. No, it's not the giant conglomo chain stores I love - it's the niche shops that have been around for years (and still have the weird stuff covered in dust on the shelves out back from like 1982 to prove it.)

[@くーとま]

"Wherever you are, playing your sound is amazing🎉🎉

[@Mr5thWave]

"I'll take it." The Jazz Master goes to the Master guitarist!

[@weschilton]

Where it belongs!

[@goodyguitars4270]

yeah------that was a really good "I'll take it"

[@johnsmith-bk4ps]

Hes not much of a negotiator

[@DisabilityExams]

It seems to me that either more Jazzmasters were bought new, played a few times, then put in a closet, OR Jazzmaster owners gave their guitars better care back in the day than other guitar types, because so many closet versions are found today.

[@hoilst265]

Remember: it's not that the offsets were an abject mistake at the time because Leo chronically misread both the surf musician (too poor!) and jazz musician (too wedded to their over-grown acoustic jazz boxes...) - it's just that Leo was thirty years ahead of his time with those designs...

[@justobserving7045]

Love the face that you made just before saying "I'll take it" and turning off the amp. So satisfying.

[@DeadBunny69]

I love everything about that store. From the scope and maze like layout to the old guy shuffling about in the background.

[@annedien]

The intonation steadyness and playable pushback already present in that state is insane! 😵‍💫

[@russellzauner]

honestly i think that's the best functioning instrument I've ever seen you show me so far...usually they're some work to get a heartbeat up to show us, this fellow Just Works(TM).

[@samanthaguy7581]

Hell yeah keep these videos comin’!!! 🔥🔥🔥

[@strat0871]

Very nice find bro ! I had a similar one back in 1981-82, then I sold it in '83 to buy my '71 black strat I still own ! it was certainly sunburst at first but natural refin, same specific period with binding and still dots, same logo but full large headstock, stamp date was 13DEC65B, and serial was 116204 with the "F". Congrats, yours is very cool, love white jazzmasters. Cheers from France.

[@moonboogien8908]

I love these videos .... Vicariously Feeds my GAS without me having to spend a fortune. Thanks. That store is a treasure.... too bad i live so far away.

the Jazzmasters were often overlooked in the vintage market deal . might be a keeper.

Dude, MOLD.!!

[@aurora3655]

Wow! That guitar is beautiful! It must feel amazing to play!

[@Ptitmalle]

Oldschool guitars shop are the best ! Great find, I can't wait to see the jazzmaster fully restored

[@RutherfordRyan1]

Mastery Bridge and you’re away to the races with that classic… Good find Matt

[@aurora3655]

One of the guitars that I first learned how to play blues on, was a fender bullet. We had one in a random music room at school. It’s classically an 80s country music guitar, but i loved it. It felt so good to play.

[@ericmojave6061]

What a gorgeous guitar! You, my friend are one lucky dog to find such a cool guitar. Sounds incredible. I love the hi-fi quality of jazz master pickups

[@Frank-in-NY]

Yup...I have a early 1966 Jazzmaster, neck dated Feb 13 1966. White Body, Matching Head Stock, Rosewood Fretboard with Dot Inlays and white binding. My parents gave it to me brand new when I was 15, I am the original owner. Best guitar I own, neck has never been adjusted, no fret sprout, beautiful action.

[@Jackson-b8j4l]

Nice poker face when you said I'll take it, nice find, I can't wait to hear it all set up.

[@timothymallon]

1:00 Oooooh a Legend amp! I owned a combo amp from Legend, years ago. They were made in Syracuse NY decades ago. Great amp!!!

[@lilbitofOverdrive]

me too they were loud! lucus flowers has a few videos on them he and his dad collect them

[@SBanas]

Well if Billy Gibbons used it on Eliminator it is good enough for me😉

[@NotExpatJoe]

I had a Legend Rock "N" Roll 50 that had an oak cabinet. It was very heavy. The speakers in it were terrible until I replaced them with a better version of Celestion speaker. I sold it for $600 cdn on reverb. I still have the old speaker mounted in a cabinet that I haven't used in a very long time.

[@saginawdan]

The store was amazing. There's an old radio/tv repair shop in my town that looks the same. Like a trip to the past. 👍

[@JaneBorras]

I got the same 1965 Jazzmaster with binding ,still rocking with me

[@johnniewashburn378]

I really enjoy your video’s. I’m here in Ardmore. I play for the worship team here at Generations church. You may know Justin Logan up there in the city. I have played music with him. I love your playing. Would love to hear your band someday. Thanks for the great video, Johnnie

[@keiranbradley3238]

Mid '65 as it has bound neck/dots but the smaller head stock. I believe it was December 65 that the big head stock showed up?. Looks like a Brazilian board too, beautiful!.

[@bk52355]

I remember when that was Bruce Music Company. My original 74 twin reverb was repaired in that very store and still has the repair tag.

[@giacomocasoni2682]

Great video! (as always) Could you make a video comparison between a vintage fender Stratocaster and a prs Silver sky? It would be awesome to see a comparison between two models from the first years of production of both guitars, 1954 and 2018

[@stormriderkaos]

Glad you didn't bust the buckle off the guitar case tossing that Marshall cab in the van!

[@danielstoddart]

I love that it has the dot inlays. I never liked the newer block inlays on a Jazzmaster. Personally, if it were my guitar I wouldn't change a thing about the finish. I'd just raise that bridge pickup and give it a proper setup.

[@MrBluesilverred]

Matthew thanks for another great video. When you were in that shop, you came across a Legend basket weave half stack. Back in the 80’s I owned a 50 watt half stack and it was fantastic! I know you are busy, but spend a few minutes and look into them. I think you will like what you find!! Cheers!

[@rosssoutherland8118]

Nice! In the 80’s & 90’s I had a lake Placid Blue one with blue head stock. Also had a basket cab like that with a 100-watt 69 Super-lead on top… miss them.

[@rockinguitar101]

Binding with the dot inlays is transitional late mid to late 65, Jazzmasters are great, Congrats.

According to my Legend Rock "N" Roll 50, they were built in Syracuse, New York.

[@robert_starling]

@@NotExpatJoe I could very well be wrong Joe but I purchased it new in Charlotte, NC and when the current owner sent me the old manual I remember being surprised it was Raleigh. I'll find it or get him to send it again. Lots of furniture building in NC so maybe just the combo cab was built there. Thanks! ~Robert
