The DISGUSTING Telecaster Lives Again!

[@dvrrocks4161]

These are some of the best guitar tones I've ever heard.

[@barryengle12666]

I know right?? killer

[@esobeegarage]

Dude, and every video he puts out has killer tones! I dream of ever being able to nail one of his tones!

[@hkguitar1984]

Taylor DiVincenzo ..Those guitars are only part of the tone equation, it's the amplifiers that really make them shine.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thank you, I have been dialing in my recording process as well!

[@chuckyz2]

@@MatthewScottmusic Would love to hear your progress and the techniques you have used and are using with descriptions of how they work better. Been experimenting myself. Finding the smallest changes can make drastic improvements. Granted I am only using a phone, (S10) for now until I can get a nice mic, dac and daw. But am learning, or trying too, as much as I can with what I have.

[@Olichi60]

You have to keep this one Matthew, it has such incredible tone and character. It brings out a whole different side of your playing too. You respond to each other.

[@kevinking2468]

I really like the sound of that guitar, its a keeper! Dig the Bigsby as well

[@garynarducci8366]

Sweet sound. I love Telecasters. I had a '65 with microphonic pickups I still loved it. I had the pickups repotted by Lindy Fralin.

[@tonycannata7241]

Matt, one of my telecasters is super heavy for some odd reason too but it sounds really good. That ugly duckling of yours with your amp and gifted hands might be worth keeping around for recording if you don't want to lug it around for 2 hours at a gig for sure. Love the way you rescue these old guitars with passion, always super educational and entertaining to watch! So glad I stumbled on to your channel way back when I did, there is a bright future ahead of you musically. Keep forging ahead my friend.

[@briano.5746]

The Bigsby is the weight issue on this Tele I'm sure.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

I'm really glad you are here too! It would be a great recording guitar that's for sure. Something to consider.

[@thetypetwolife3602]

Im glad that I found him back when I did too!!

[@pmoney3688]

Tony Cannata Agreed!

[@leesloan8216]

my 74' is about 8.5 lbs without a bigsby, but love it

[@caseylee12]

Man! what a guitar! Those are my favorite tones in the whole world! I could hear The Allman Brothers AND Merle the Pearl! (Does that sound crazy?) Glad you rescued this guitar and bright it back to life. Absolutely beautiful! Fantastic playing. Keep these videos coming.

[@FreddyFuFu]

This is a perfect demonstration that when the player, the guitar and the amp are aligned with the planets and the stars, then we get to tone Nirvana where NO PEDAL IS NEEDED

[@50Something]

Totally agree! 🙏

[@StarlightWorkshop0z]

3rd stone from the sun cosmic radiation baby!!

[@markjohnson3349]

Dude, that is awesome. I love your insights. As one who does not play, I really enjoy how you take these old beasts, and then tame them. I have dabbled enough to know that you make what you're doing look easy. I'd love to see a video of one of your gigs. Take care, and keep the vids coming. Love the channel.

[@EdglerVess]

Love hearing you play with a backing track for a change, you should do it more often!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thanks John.

[@manuelbastian]

Best sounding axe on your channel so far... And I dig the pre-cbs stuff a lot! But that bridge pickup... 🤤

[@chuckyz2]

Its a 70's. Not pre CBS.

[@j_freed]

@@chuckyz2 - yes despite that

[@eduardo0796]

@@chuckyz2 He meant to say that even though he loves the pre-CBS stuff a lot (which implies that a lot of people who like pre-CBS stuff won't like CBS stuff), he thinks this CBS guitar is his favourite one.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thank yoU!✌🏻

[@sfla4x4molonlabe66]

Keep bringing those vintage guitars back to life man. Love your videos and appreciate what you do. Thanks!

[@YOURMOTHER43211]

Every video you make is another guitar lesson for me, tnx man! Keep it Up!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Of course, thank you.

[@DKentization]

Nice rescue... this Git has alot of character, very soulful playing. Cool stuff, thanks for posting!

[@loganjohnson3589]

matthew glad to see you kept the original finish on that ol axe and the sound is is now like a shot of whiskey with a dash of honey in it .I had visions of you down in some deep south bayou leanin back against an old tree with moss trailing down sending out some solefull rifs out in to the air in total harmony with the world .my old bones and i thank you .the Barbarian.

[@richardturner5463]

That Disgustacaster sounds great!! Love it!!

[@kangaroofoot]

Daaaaaaaamn, now THAT’s how you bring a guitar back to life. I thought it was fake all along until this episode. Wonderful crispy tone.

[@CoucouMachinchouette]

Plox make a video about your haircare routine

[@glue4131]

😂

[@mark-dietz]

Ive always been a Strat-Gibson guy, but bought a Tele a couple years ago, and since then have developed an absolute love for the sound and the simplicity of them. Of all your guitars this one is my favourite. I bet that guitar could tell some stories! Off topic a bit...I bought a tele, my bro heard it and bought a tele, he brought it to band practice and his buddy bought one. Makes me wonder how everyone doesn't own one.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

I love how simple they are. Especially the single pickup ones.

[@AB-vn2jc]

Matthew Scott yeah dude those Esquires are killer, people tend to put a neck pickups in em, Imo it messes with the vibe, love that treble roll off circuit on those too, adds some interesting tones!

[@pmoney3688]

mark dietz I don’t want to tell her yet, but sure as hell am thinking of buying one😄

[@mark-dietz]

@@pmoney3688 See what I mean?

[@pmoney3688]

mark dietz absolutely, I have one les Paul And to Stratocaster’s

[@thorstenfriedrich]

always interesting to watch your videos, this time in „co-production“ with jw restoration - really dig it!

[@guitarhack210]

Hello Scott , I've really enjoyed you're videos and you have given me inspiration to play more , I have a few years on me and just like you, you remind me of my hungry years , its just a hobby now but I love the guitar and ill never put it down till its time , I really enjoy hearing you play , and I gotta tell you, lol , I just got back from Texas looking for a retirement home and while I was there I went to Jimmy's in Garland from watching one of you're videos , great store I bought a Jimmy Vaughan strat , used but it just felt right , so I blame you lol its all good 👍 take care and keep up the great work you're doing

[@gabrieltedone9529]

Does it have a treble bleed? By the looks of the volume pot wiring. By the way, very cool surf rock/spaghetti western tone with the bigsby.

[@saginawdan]

Tone wise, my exact thoughts.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

I don't think so its factory wiring.

[@jhendricks02]

I LOVE this guitar. this thing is so rad, i’m glad you held onto it this far. Cool shots of the repair job. Great playing as always, i’ve been digging the drum tracks in the beginning... keep up the good work my man! glad to see you’re getting more and more recognition every video.

[@hudsonhenderson6361]

Sounds great! You inspire me to play a lot man! I missed your last show in okc but hoping you do another one some day when this quarantine is all over!!

[@DavideGranato]

This old wood overwhelms me. From a Cinderella closed in a kitchen or a filthy smoky club... to the lights of a great sound , tone-a-ton like now she can tell and sing with her unique voice thousand stories about her new life. Thanks for giving her the rebirth she deserved, Matthew.

[@beauda1730]

Love your content man, keep up the level of content you have at the moment and I'm sure you're gonna go places

[@georgebentley-ricardo9445]

That was brilliant man, just brilliant. Every thing about this video, from your dialogue, your thoughts and honesty, showing the work done on the pickups and close ups of the guitar, just all outstanding. Oh I forgot to mention your gifted playing. Great work Matthew. I would like to think of you keeping this guitar. She seems to be quite special. Thanks for sharing man. PEACE 🤠🎸

[@loudspeaker003]

Sounds crazy good man! The TLC that got put into that thing shows. Now I patiently keep an eye out in case it ever goes up for sale....

[@clivebarrell6448]

I agree... sounds incredible to me. Little rough and full of character. The sounds you're making around 7:22 are just glorious. I really enjoyed this one.

[@mgifford]

This might be the best-sounding, coolest guitar you've showed off so far. I think you might regret not keeping it. But if you really don't want it, I'll gladly take it off your hands. 😄

[@mikeenders4745]

that is a BEAUTIFUL guitar... and man your playing is amazing..serious business... really blew my mind...

[@joshuadurocher8071]

Hey Matt how do u do that fast picking thing as u go up or down strings I've been playing for 2 yrs now im getting good with bends and vibrato but my picking sweep picking is getting a little faster I just can't do it that fast what is the secret plz lmk oh yea I love and have loved your vids forever I learned alot of techniques just watching u play u are great I love all the vids on those beautiful strats I'm a strat player myself they just feel right to me well I wish you a healthy safe time rock on have fun hope to see more vids soon peace out

[@tymeryder7264]

Love your work, your passion. Great tones, are you sure you want to give that up? Nothing quite like a played in old guitar.

[@drakewithers3347]

So glad we get to hear that neck pickup!! Great playing in this one. Cheers.

[@CharlieElwess]

Man if I had the money I'd buy it from you in a heartbeat. Great job on the repairs.

[@bruceducker2029]

I own a 2003 Natural American Standard Telecaster.... sucker for the real wood bit. When I first saw that old tele, I thought it was the ugliest thing. The sounds at first was nice and deep throaty, but then once you said the neck pickup was unusable, that made sense. Well the care that it was given in restoring the pickups, I must say I like the sound. But in the end the guitar is a beast. I have never been a "tremolo" fan, so the Bixby, IMO, detracts from the Tele look. I was aghast finding out Fender removed the old bridge cover (but most players removed them anyway). Keep up the great content. Thanks.

[@daviddemar8749]

I really enjoyed watching all 3 videos you made regarding this guitar. What an amazing resurrection/restoration. I really think you should keep it notwithstanding how you feel about its weight. Imho it's one of a kind and now it looks and sounds fantastic especially since you've had the pickups repaired/repotted. Furthermore I usually hate the look of Teles and Strats with Bigsby bridges and tremolo systems but this guitar has me smitten😊❤

[@hkguitar1984]

LOL people saying you gotta suck it up, NO You really don't. Keep it as a Studio Instrument. You know if you sell it you'll need its tone someday in the future. My humble advice, keep it as a Studio Guitar. Thanks for the pickup restoration footage, very cool.

[@PiraticalBob]

What happened to the 1970 refinished Strat? There was an unboxing video and a peek under the pickguard, but I didn't see any further videos on that one?

[@gary1970s]

That Tele has officially become my favorite looking and sounding. Nice work bringing it back to life!

[@bruceheadrick7479]

Best sounding Tele I’ve ever heard. What a combo of instrument, amplifier and musician.

[@dadbehal6738]

Man the original song you played on the neck pickup was amazing...cheers🍻🍻

[@intensedad2827]

I fcking love your videos. Great quality, impressive playing & nice guitars.

[@stevenmgyori3826]

Hi Matthew! Great job and Well done! No matter which one of my guitars I play, eventually I always end up with a Tele! Thanks for sharing brother and Be Well All!

[@drinklords5380]

Verrry nice!! I simply love that sound. So soothing. But it can roar to life also. Incredible guitar. She’s a beautiful piece. 😍🤩✌️😎 and the proper gear too makes her sound amazing.

[@corneliuscrewe677]

I’m so glad you left it alone aesthetically. I can’t possibly fathom you would ever want to part with it, but like you say, we love got our own thing. Nice job.

[@wildwillie7792]

Beautiful studio guitar bro, that's the one yuh want to lay down some tracks, a lot of old school guitarist lay down some big bucks for all those natural tones, I'm happy for you bro.

[@gabrielm.4554]

Your production quality is getting better and better!

[@cillianreilly2128]

That was seriously top notch playing. I just woke up so thanks for the inspiration to play!

[@detlevcohrs4319]

Hi, nice to see a old Guitar awake to live, my first E-Guitar was a Tele 1972 and i like this Old Things. LG Detlev

[@winkle-pickerpookicker2255]

This one video is worth a sub to you channel, that tone is pure gold.

[@darylparkyn9467]

Wow Matthew. It really sounds amazing. Beautiful

[@jakeryanshepard]

Intro is especially fire on this man! 🔥

[@BlindEntertainment]

The first minute of this video is makin' me itch even more to see an album from you. Hot damn.

[@jimmybreslin2436]

love the tune at the start sounds great on the bridge pickup

[@jeffpuritz8722]

I can understand your thing with the 10pound tele boat anchor. Definitely a perfect sitting down guitar.

[@secretdaisy6484]

Initially that thing looked like it was pulled out of a dump. Nice cleanup job & it sounds fabulous. You should keep it in spite of the weight. Be safe. 👍☮️🌞🦠😷🎸

[@edog28]

There's about 2 pounds of weight in that grime if you really want to lighten it up haha, glad to see you got it fixed! Good stuff as always, man!

[@TheCaseUK]

Sounds amazing dude. A keeper for sure!

[@lesagogo1428]

When using the tremolo, it slightly deasfines slightly. I have a telecaster with a lever, and it requires a lot of calibration and a delicate game not to knock it off. Regards.

[@MSBH]

As a tele fan I've never heard such a perfect tone out of one. It's honestly so good

[@pmoney3688]

Also want to add, love that style of playing, I do not personally have the chops, but I do what I can, and appreciate the people who do have the chops

[@andyplatt6692]

That bridge pick-up sounds incredible!

[@MandolinJack]

Loved all 3 of these "disgusting Telecaster" vids! (in fact I've loved everyone of your videos!!)

[@deanallen9660]

Hey Mathew, great guitar! Have you ever tried that trick of putting big frets on s 7 1/4 radius neck and radiusing the frets to something flatter (9 1/2 or whatever)? That way if you don't like it you can go back.

[@ellman10]

Sounds awesome. Any chance you can upload the backing track from the beginning of the video?

[@tadpoleinnit2643]

Gosh, I'd love to hear The Stone's classic '19th Nervous Breakdown' played on that beauty

[@luxford60]

Sounds amazing, especially compared to the first video with it.

[@steveperry3538]

It might look like it’s been a regular at the Roadhouse, but it sounds awesome.

[@brandonnavarre3360]

I've never really liked teles because they don't have the comfort carves of a strat but i think that one looks really nice. Cool to hear you play some for truth again too, that's the song I'd like to learn next.

[@BobIrving2]

Sounds fabulous! Your playing helps, of course. What do you think it's worth?

[@stevedowler2366]

Well, that axe has the best aged-color! It earned it's look for sure. Was the F bigsby added by an owner maybe soon after it was bought as a string-thru? Don't know. What does the color look like under the Bigsby - maybe that would enlighten us a bit. Butoverall a great guitar and def deserves to hit the bars again. thanks Matt and cheers.

[@pmoney3688]

Holy F#%*! You make that tele sound amazing.I know you are really well-versed in Hendrix/SRV style playing. Would love to see you do Axis Bold As Love,On any one of your guitars in any video🤜🏽

[@jamescoulthard7138]

Like some others have said - do not sell! There is a tonne of mojo on that guitar and it sounds fantastic - would certainly be worth keeping as a home/studio/recording guitar, and you can always buy a big thick leather strap and wear it a little higher if weight is an issue on-stage!

[@caseylee12]

You'll never find another one like it, and if you sell it , it will HAUNT YOUR DREAMS!

[@scottbookman]

it looks really great and the playing and tone...pure Matthew !!

[@chrissouthon7662]

my wonderful friend , she sounds amazing , this is coming from the metal guy ,Matt amazing again mate luv ya !!!!

[@benpowersguitar]

That sounds really good. You should keep it for sure, just for something different at home. Maybe it will be inspirational. With that weight, I must agree, not really gigable for someone who doesn't play heavy guitars. Maybe a special sit down song mid set. I'm a strat guy, but that thing is very pleasing to the ear. Love your vids man.

[@jeanemmanuelkrieger6001]

Sounds great ... that the thing with 70s Fenders , some are heavy but man they have a great tone

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thats what I've found too.

[@music.corner]

sounds awesome man! If I were you I would keep it!

[@Viper_Poker]

The guitar is beautiful and sounds amazing that said I could never in my lifetime afford it. If you don't keep it ... I hope that you find it a deserving home ... she deserves to be played ... 🤘❤🤘

[@sentiyatetjamir6710]

Ikr, can't afford it ever but I'd dream daily of having it gifted to me

[@dragan4658]

I love this guitars natural relic. I know repairing and keeping it original is gr8 but how does it compare price wise to replacing the pups with new ones? Thanks for sharing.

[@agungwayne3090]

Amazing tone Matt!

[@johnnytruck2009]

You did right by that guitar. I'm sure she is grateful for your attention to her and the way you play her.. She might be a great studio guitar down the road. Great job!!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thank you. She is great for the studio not much else

[@georgemueh3273]

Man this is like a Swiss army knife guitar. Sounds great at any level and style. Have you ever tried chamdered Les Pauls or Telecasters??? I kind of like heavy guitars but they can get brutal on the shoulder. Really glad you only fixed the issues and left it alone. Lol never heard of restoring a guitar with dirt.... Great stuff 🤘

[@MatthewScottmusic]

I have not but I would be open to it

[@mehranscholte8973]

Really cool guitar, I think the bigsby adds a lot of character

[@javichavislove7711]

Beautiful!! Nice sound!

[@extansegura]

you can allways keep it for studio work, I understand why heavy guitars are a burden compared to a light strat but that being said, you never should let go one thats sounds and plays grate just for that

[@michaelnachoescamilla6241]

I wish I had the cash. I would buy that from you right now. Awesome.

She’s a beauty. If you ever find your way to sunny Fla. I’ll let you play my sweet 78 strat I told you about. Lol. At least I’d hear some quality playing out of it for a change.

[@shartne]

wow you got that guitar all sorted out. Fixed the lipstick pickup and all. 10 lbs is is the exact reason I dont buy a telecaster. My should would is damaged already and that would kill it.

Gotta keep it/use it. Great look and sound

[@humanbean6044]

Dayum! They don't make that tone anymore.Has a woody growl that is right out of an old vinyl album from the seventies,gorgeous sound.
