Every time someone says “guitar safari” somewhere in the world Joe bonamassa buys another 59 les Paul

[@MatthewScottmusic]

We must stop that then..

[@scott729]

@@MatthewScottmusic Only you! can prevent forest fires, er I mean JB from buying vintage LP's

[@bryanmannoia8410]

funny, I clicked on to say something similar. definitely a Bonomassa term. much like Matthew, I have borrowed this term for both guitars and vinyl. borrow from the best, they say.

[@RobertBakerGuitar]

I LOOOVE Nash. Great video dude. If you're ever in Ohio let me know.

[@ClamGaming-th2wt]

Great videos man

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thanks man. Hope I am this year 👍🏻

[@scott729]

Im in Ohio Robert and my name is Scott! Not Mathew, but Scott ... Michael Scott W .... What can i do for you? JK, I am in O-H-I-O however

[@matthewbyars7171]

Man, I”m a Nashville native. You should have been here 20 years ago. Nashville was REALLY special back then. Players ran the scene. It used to be very special, There are still great shops, but the place is now overrun

[@CausticFox670]

Ohio is a great state. We have dollar generals as far as the eye can see!

[@OniDasAlagoas]

Seeing you looking for the switch for a monent there at 18:28 made my day haha.

[@abhinavguitar]

hahahahaha.. a total strat guy!

[@nickl2883]

I did the same tour a few years back . I felt the same way. Carters was by far the best vintage shop in Nashville. The staff were outstanding they let my GF and I have the run of the place. We played whatever we wanted , it was a really fun experience.

[@swingset1969]

Just did this tour myself last weekend, loved it. Rubbed elbows with Vince Gil in Gruhn's, which was nice. Carter's and Rumble Seat were great, too, got to play some really nice pieces and have a great conversation with some nice knowledgeable people. Came home with lots of hats and shirts, lol.

[@dep1001]

Awesome vid! Thanks for bringing us along, Matthew!

[@kentbeery4697]

Thanks for taking us along I love those heavy worn strats

[@Lookup2Wakeup]

Really enjoyed this, thanks for taking me along ......

Great guitars and great amps. Interesting shops but i think Carter Vintage Guitars was the best shop and they obviously let you play a lot of stuff. Vintage instruments that have had some work done still have plenty of vibe but are priced lower where poor people like us could maybe splurge for one. JD Simo's Fender amp with the 15 inch JBL speaker sounded great to me. Killer amp. Plug a strat, tele, or Lester Poulfus into that and you are golden. No pedals required. I thought your licks and playing were really good. Your friend sounds like B.B. King in the '50's and '60's. Incredible tone and feel. You can tell he has spent some time playing. Thanks for the cool video. Road trips are always interesting.

[@pullupnotout6411]

I like this new vlog set up, it’s a good change for the channel. Keep up the great work and here’s to a great 2020

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thanks I just need more reasons to get out and bring the camera

[@braderrick]

Carters is my favorite of all of those as well. The guys there are great, once they saw that I was passionate about the guitars there and could play, they told me to play anything I wanted. Love that place! Plus they have the coolest door handles ever.

[@charlesbolton8471]

braderrick Before Gruhn’s moved to its current location they had actual guitar necks for door handles.

[@braderrick]

charles bolton I believe that’s the one that I went to years ago, I don’t think I’ve been to the current location. How long ago did they move?

[@charlesbolton8471]

braderrick They moved to their current location in 2013. Prior to that they were next door to the Ryman.

[@braderrick]

charles bolton okay that makes sense. I was there a few months ago and didn’t see it when we walked down the strip and back.

[@georgebentley-ricardo9445]

Thanks for sharing Matthew. Looks like you had a nice time. PEACE and keep on rocking 🤠🎸

[@LuisFGarcia89]

Badass to see you guys together

[@jcburger733]

Thanks for taking us on the Nashville guitar tours. Carters was incredible. Can’t believe the let you play the 75k strat which was my favorite but way out of my price range. Great vid!

[@major_organ]

As much as I love vintage guitar shops, I gotta say, often times I find that the vintage gear is barely setup right or given major care. It's weird when they're asking such high prices. I use vintage shops as a way to learn what to look for in a vintage guitar, and that's where a lot of the fun is for me.

[@jda4879]

A completely different kind of video than the norm I really like it dude!!!

[@tobias2684]

great video rock on man!

[@Kept_Crude]

Was glad to see you getting out of your house. Great vid.

[@jamesstewart8054]

Great video guys. Cheers James.

[@phildale8451]

Amazing video and something I can only dream off. We have some decent stores in the UK but nothing like what you have over there. Those strats and tele's are to die for. Great video Matthew.

[@knockaculleen]

Great video, I really enjoyed it. Many thanks and keep up the good work!!!

[@jakeryanshepard]

Hey man really fun and all but I was waiting for them all to get plugged in and put through their paces ! Love it

[@joshmcsaucy]

Awesome video dude would love to see more stuff like this

[@suncoaster8578]

Thanks for taking us along for the ride. 🤔✌🏻

[@_RLP]

Thanks for sharing this, man. Cheers

[@zackhayes1268]

I live in Murfreesboro, about a 40 min drive from Nashville, and I had no clue about these places. Thanks for the tip !

[@birdsfabulous]

Thanks so much for this video man. Love the way u guys showed the back of the necks and described how they felt and transitions. Almost as cool as being there meself. Great stuff without the corksniffing---most vids claim every vintage guitar is "the one" great stuff

[@kevingrace1378]

Road trip gotta love it especially to Nashville!!

[@buddylobos5277]

The old Timers always used to say 'the secret is Gibson Guitars and Fender Amps'. Now I am one and I have to agree.

[@bryanmannoia8410]

I myself like fender guitars with a Gibson amp. my strat through a '62 Gibson ga20 is my current favorite. I have several fender amps as well. both sound awesome but gibsons are cheaper.

[@balduringvarsigursson1587]

what a great video matt wish we have someting like this in iceland. love your videos man

[@georgevlachos4349]

I loved the black Gibson that you played it sounded magic in your hands

[@kassvoyson7625]

This is really cool! It was like watching a documentary or biopic. The background music is perfect. Like The original Endless Sunmer movie. Friends traveling searching for the perfect wave. Loved this video.

[@scottminnich9283]

I feel this.

[@devinbosserman9838]

Woah I got exited when I saw the dude play that vintage lefty sunburst strat with a rosewood fretboard. That’s my dream guitar and I didn’t think there would be any lefty’s but thank god they’re out there

[@maxfaith1940]

Hi Matthew, great video of you guys checking the shops out! Bought my 61 strat from Carters.

[@johnnygeetarmusic]

I was at Carter's that day and I ended up buying that 68 Super Reverb with the 15"! Cool video!

[@okgo8315]

My favourite was the black LP... stunning.🇬🇧

[@davestatham812]

Awesome man, really loved this, have a great new year man, 🙏👏👏👏

[@bluekoi455]

Carter guitars treated me so well. Went to Gruhn,too. Love the field trips! Keep it up

[@aaronparker1614]

I’ve been most impressed with Carter as well when I’ve visited Nashville.. still feels like a cool old school shop. Getting hard to beat the ones we have here in Texas now..

[@arthurias7693]

You should put out an EP or an album soon, release it on KZbin and also band camp or iTunes, people will buy it. Also maybe do some music videos for some songs, it will go a long way. If you can put out a really solid batch of songs and do some accompanying videos, you can really go far Matt, we believe in you. You have a really solid following so far, you can easily grow from that. All it takes is one video to blow up!

[@ArmanBaig]

Seriously. He’s incredibly talented. He will make it big, I guarantee it.

[@MindsetMastery75]

dB Music Group. Very true and great advice!

[@thomaspatrickparker6648]

put it on bandcamp I'll buy

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Thank you very much. Working on something for you guys soon.

[@darrenc8776]

Matt this was awesome. Would love to see more stuf lke this

[@msgbright]

Great guitar ! Great video ! Great Channel !

[@tomfairbairn1202]

Love the Chanel dude, more outings would be great content 🙂

Thanks for that nice trip.

[@markellis8621]

Awesome. Great looking guitars wow.

[@kylecunningham5730]

That 58 strat is nicely aged through & through!

[@bdogjr7779]

Awesome Matt《☆》Firebird VIIs with LyreVibrola tailpiece are some tone rich guitars :*: Thanks for the tour guys🤓🗣🔊☯️🕛☮

[@roddygogo7772]

I always think where will my 18 pro strat end up in years to come....another great video Scotty

[@AnthonySG0113]

Awesome video!

[@hangaroundrecords4761]

Yay Fanny’s! The owner of that place got me through some tough times. Also got a great guitar and 70s, travel ready, 10 guitar rack from them!

[@chiiitmeng]

Fuuuuuck dude, this video was siiiiick. Now I def gotta visit Nashville! You and nick are good dudes! Peace!!

[@bwall615]

Fortunately, though being from Oklahoma, I live in Nashville. I buy tons of stuff from Carters, my favorite store. Great pedal selection!

[@johngerson7335]

Lotsa cool stuff, nice vid. Would've liked to hear you plugged into that Marshall 4-holer. Thanks for sharing!

[@levijessegonzalez3629]

If nothing else, at least the trip solidified the love you have for your own fenders!

[@BlessedMe11]

Extremely interesting and informative video guys! Thank you, for this "Look Around" trip documentation. Again, Extremely Interesting Content. Great job, I do Dig It! ( I own an all original 1964 Pre CBS buyout Strat. Three Tone, Cherry Sunburst, with a very thin, C shape neck. ) I enjoyed this particular content so much, I subscribed.

[@brandonnavarre3360]

My best friend's dad has a super reverb just like that. He said he bought it from his friend from when he used to do music college lectures in the 80s for £85. He let me play it once. Wow

[@olleheed]

Excellent video

[@tbeau6663]

Loved the re-furbed J200

[@matthias7455]

Damn. I'd love to hear that korina strat. Very cool video.

[@pittbrat7963]

Very nice balance between neck/bridge pickups on that black P-90 les paul. And yes, you have a lot of les pauls with very comfortable non-boatneck profiles...

[@taterfight]

That black Les Paul with the staple P90 neck pickup sounded great!

[@CurtisMcLeodMusic]

That white strat with rosewood board, plugged into that Super was the best tone IMO

[@richardturner5463]

Great vid man really loved it. Would love to see you, Nik and Philip come to the U.K. 👍🤞

[@thejakefromstatefarm6768]

i loved that corina body fiesta red strat! that was sweet! Fiesta Pete!

[@hekotodo]

Super super blues band. Your my man..... Great stuff.

[@606vandy]

The next time you come to Nashville you have to stop by Blues Vintage Guitars on McGavock Street. Gabe is the owner and if I ever have a question he always has the answer. I don’t know where he finds his inventory but he is definitely the man with the connections. Love your channel

[@DDPAV]

When you're in the Carters parking lot, turn around and you'll find the best cigar hangout in Nashville. Great place to grab a fine cigar and a glass of bourbon while contemplating shelling out the ducats for a fine vintage strat:)

[@thephotoyak]

Turn around and your looking at Arnold's aren't you?

[@DDPAV]

@@thephotoyak Yep (same parking lot)- which is across from Casa de Montecristo (cigar bar) and then a Pizza joint on the other side. Then a Jazz bar.....

[@craigwyckoff5682]

Man, I love your Chanel! I love the sound of those old guitars, although I think your playing has a lot to do with making them wail!

[@stevepihl4324]

I stopped in at fannys guitar last October and played that exact Martin! Sounded so beautiful

[@MatthewScottmusic]

It was a good one

[@gregwilson2721]

pre war martins blows all of the fifties ones out of the water. they cost a ton but worth every penny and you can save with a refinished one

[@jimmyj4811]

Thanks, loved it! I've been wanting to take that same trip but it's on hold now due to the virus.

[@music.corner]

you guys are so lucky to even hold guitars like these in your hands.... over here in europe there's not so many (if any) real vintage guitars in music stores

[@LfunkeyA]

where are you in europe? lotta the west countries have at least one each

[@music.corner]

@@LfunkeyA in austria, there are a couple of stores in germany, the netherlands and the uk with vintage gear but other than that, there's not many

[@TyRoxYaMan]

The J200 was my favorite even though it had a new top it looked amazing!!

[@gfgranja]

16:00. That J200 sounds incredible!

[@jjfalstaff]

Just missed you at Gruhns. I go by there a couple times a year. In the old days, they had more of the older stuff on the floor. These days it's mostly acoustic with a few electrics thrown in. What I like is that they are more than happy to let anyone play anything. They're very nice. I played an early 60s strat (18k)there about a year ago, and it sounded awful, largely because of what you mentioned. The strings were old, the action was all effed up, and it probably hadn't been set up in ages, which is weird because they have a workshop right upstairs. They do seem to focus more on the acoustics these days. Fun video. Thanks for sharing.

[@MatthewScottmusic]

Sorry we missed you my friend !

[@stevejohnson2284]

Nice video. I appreciate your honesty about the guitars. Some people wouldn't be that honest. Like it's sacrilege to not swoon in the very presents of vintage guitars at these famous shops.👍

[@JONNIE_ROCKER]

The white strat you used to try out the super reverb 15" looked nice

[@PC160]

And sounded great!

[@MatthewScottmusic]

It was a boutique builder.

[@bradleyjenkins8715]

If you come back thru Nashville throw Blues Vintage Guitars on your safari list! Awesome shop!

[@firewalker6712]

I love Maple fret boards. I take steel wool to get the finish off. That's what makes them feel stiff. Your fingers inadvertently rub the finish which creates friction. So I always buy a relic strat with nitrocellulose finish. That way you can't tell the difference.

[@shergold7726]

The wee Kay was really cool.

[@cuauhtemocmorisco3493]

That Gibson @9:06 is so freaking GORGEOUS😍😍😍 👍👍👍

[@dreadtoby]

I dig the Kays ( vintage I can afford) but the black LP Custom, that was sweet.

[@guitargold100]

Great informative video. The lp custom with p90’s and for looks the Korina red or the sonic blue.

[@jltrem]

Thanks Matthew, most enjoyable. Interesting that Gruhn's was not that impressive.

[@joeschlicht]

Cool Trip! I actually have a Diaz signed Tremodillo.

[@FLOODtoFIRE]

thanks for sharing .

[@joebelleymusic]

the guys at Eastside Music Supply are awesome.

[@alexanderbraddock6543]

Danocaster reppin. Love to see it

[@richfiryn]

Oh ya one other thing, my brand new Classic Vibe 50's Strat with Maple fret board in Fiesta Red would run circles around that 63 :)

[@sn95_mustang_garage]

I agree with Matt, a full maple neck on a Strat just doesn't sound like the warm rosewood. It's just too spanky is that makes sense. I've actually moved away from all maple fretboards. My Strat neck is maple on the back and rosewood on the front. That's a great combo.

[@adamb1380]

you said that strat was a billy corgan Eb guitar. Could be it was the mayonaise guitar off siamese dream album. One of my favorite songs ever!

[@malcolmhardwick4258]

Which one did i love ? Well all of them !

[@dh4767]

Matt! Get a selfie stick! It’s not tacky! You’re a professional at this now! Thanks for the video

[@JakeElston]

I got to play Ed Kings strat they have there, plays amazing! They also have 2 Dumble amps

[@kevdean9967]

Ed King was awesome!!!

[@jamesprice6381]

Built for DiazAmplification 2004/5 n owned a tremodillo blt by Cesar, foolishly sold it..incredible pedal..

[@thephotoyak]

My wife and I went to Nashville last year, she was mighty sick of guitars stores by the end lol

[@robertw1871]

Nice trip, I’d definitely be thumbing a ride home after trading my truck on gear lol 😂

[@alanvargas5841]

Was a great day

[@briano.5746]
