Just chillin on the couch with 100k worth of guitars.

12:56 That look when you already have 3 noise complaints

You are doing it right man. A channel fueled by your passion for music and guitars. No hate no begging just quality content. This is a great channel. Thx

Been here since day one.....and I’m not going anywhere...always supporting you brother !....I’ve been making time to play, again but at a snails pace due to kids and job responsibilities....but it’s a start, I feel the motivation slowly coming back....🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

1959 was the first year I started building instruments. Love the music of that year too. We have come a long way since then!

Probably the best guys to watch talking about guitars, I'm somehow not jealous, just happy for them having found those great guitars. 👍🏼

Interesting video. For me it was a '63. Back in the 80's, when I was buying a lot of strats, whenever I found a neck I really liked, it always seemed to be a '63. Every now and then I would find a '64 that felt about the same, but those '63's were remarkably consistent.

Wow you NEVER see vintage gig bags

That jam was awesome! Great talk about these two 59's! Thank you!

I was jamming to your jam! Great to see you guys rock together!

great seeing both of you jamming on your 59s!!!!

This is really cool great conversation. Thank you.

VERY COOL video boys, thanks alot for taking the time to do this!! Learn't alot and it's pretty cool you two know each other, I was already subscribed to both your channels before I knew that. PEACE!

Awesome '59's. Great that you were able to rescue that one.

Loved it! Two beautiful guitars! I'd do anything to have one with that "sound".. and a nice little "thang" jam at the end.. awesome job guys and my hat's off to both of your playing. It's just what I love, the Stevie sound!

absolutely fantastic !! thanks for sharing all your experiences !! and yes .. yes .. indeed it helps .... congrats

It's still in the hands and the heart.

Love the gear talk and the playing. Thanks!

I HEAR A LOT OF ALBERT KING YEAAAAAHHHH

I will try the tip about adjusting my pickup heights by what sounds good, starting with the factory measurement but then explore by ear, too. Besides the great tales of vintage guitars, the best part of this video was the 3 minute jam session! I'd like to see another living room jam video with you two again.

Great episode, Matt and Nik.

beautiful sounding guitars and amazing people , God bless

This two guys really inspired me to love SRV

I could watch this over and over again! Your passion for classic Strats and Telecasters brings me back to your channel over and over again. I have been a Fender fanatic for 40-plus years. But, I never owned one until about 4 years ago. I now own a 2011 American Standard Strat, and two reissue Telecasters. They are my treasures! Awesome jam, too!

Great Chemistry with you two. I hope you guys make it a regular collaboration. I saw Claptons Crossroads on the Dallas Calendar for September on Sonny Landreths site, might be another great road trip on 9-20 & 21 !

Dude I really love that clean tone! Sounds amazing, make more videos with that tone 🤘🏻

Nik needs to get himself one of those fancy cameras and a couch like that.

Great video looked so fun comparing and playing.🤘🏽

Matt looks like that kid Mitch from dazed and confused lol. Except way cooler.

Very very cool and informative video guys. Please keep them coming. 2 of my favorite guitarists on the tube. 🎸👊

Great vid. Excellent jam session too!!

17:52 ...I love that "quack"

Dope video, mates. And that jam was pretty nice. Keep it up. Cheers

Nik has such a beautiful deep voice.

getting a guitar from sir Matthew is so i'm blessed❤

it is cool that you guys arre friends and have serial numbers from that far back that are that close. Makes it more fun even.

Nice 'Last Word Jam' at the end.

Beautiful and amazing guys thank you 🙏 for sjaring

Kickass jamming that's what's up 🤘

Enjoyed the hell out of that video. Educational and fun.

love those stratocasters

Here's another for you Matt: while you got the black wang bar tip, he's got the black switch tip!...and the jam got me play bass & drums in my head! lol

Great jam guys, enjoyed!

Wow I wonder if Leo and George had any idea of the legacy they were leaving

Another great video! Thanks!

Nik's phrasing is on point

Matthew Aw son, you got great dynamics In your playing. Then Lenny at The end. Sweet. Bob

Lovin' the jammin' !!

Great vid... thanx lads

Awesome Guys《☆》Nice comparo & jams🤠☻🤠

I just gave both of ya a follow. I am really liking the videos and the great tones on the channels. I bought a couple Jesse D pedals especially The Duellist. What an incredible pedal. I think it's like a secret weapon or something. Keep the discussion coming and the tones and great playing.

Matt, It's ironic that both Gibson Les Pauls and Fender Strats that were produced in 1959, are the "Holy Grail." I was born in 1959 and lived ten minutes away from the original Fender Factory. I've been to the Corona Factory as well, because I lived there too. But what is truly a trip, is that my grandfather, as it was told by my mother, took guitar lessons from Les Paul in Los Angeles. I talked with Les Paul after a show, with his trio, at the Iridium Club in Manhattan 1999. And he did verify that he was in L.A. during that time, but he said he had lots of students and he couldn't recall. What a great guy.

Awesome jamming you guys did. First thing I thought of was Stevie Ray Vaughan love the fenders you guys were talking about and the sound of them was a great video

That's funny when my apt caught on fire (long,long time ago,that's what I ran back in for) was my 69 tele and my cat

I have a 66 j bass that I got in the same condition. It was spray painted sparkle blue even the hardware on the headstock was spray painted. I got it restored, everything is original except pickups and pick guard.

Sweet!!!!

Such a difference in tone choice. But both sound great in their own right.

Very cool!

It’s Albert King And SRV live in session !! 👏

Cool video yall.

no cs or masterbuilt can come close...what a beautiful sound...thanks for playing it straight:)

Cheers! Blues brothers nicely done!

it was the june 1958 namm show where the slab was first introduced

My grandfather has a Olympic white 62 strat with a veneer board and I kid you not there is maple showing through the rosewood from almost 60 years of play. The board is literally 2 or 3 centimeters thick so that’s probably why. Great vids to bro✌🏻

Too much awesomeness in one video.

Luv these vids. Strataholicas !!!!!

I like the Hendrix does Hawaii tone at the end :)

The common misconception is that Leo went from the slab to the veneer rosewood fingerboard to save money. But whenever Leo himself or George Fullerton were asked about this the reason was not financial. It was structural. The rosewood has a heavier density and Leo was concerned about twists developing once the rosewood was glued to the maple and he felt the heavier slab interfered with how well the truss rod would function. There were also more man hours involved in creating the veneered fingerboards so it didn't save him money. This is not my opinion. This is how Leo and George Fullerton tell the story.

Nik is the man, that Lenny bit sounded spot on!

This is great

Very nice Guys, let’s see more videos

great video guys! niks playing its so great and real

Your playing reminds me of SRV which of course is a tremendous compliment and playing those awesome vintage Strats

Tanks for sharing a cool passion... 🤟💀🥀

59 Strat! My Dream Guitar!

More Jamming. Please

Cool vid. My vintage strat is a true Frankenstrat or partscaster. 63 refin body (but not routed), 64 guard and original electronics, and a 65 refin neck. Repro tuners and bridge. With a good set up it’s a great affordable player with the right feel, sound, and vibe.

Sounds Awesome guys :-)

you lucky guys!

I played a 59 not too long ago. It was fine. I'm perfectly happy with my 2002 mim 60s reissue. I can use the trem like a maniac and it stays perfectly tuned. It's just a brilliant guitar. Same with my 60s mim Fiesta red jaguar. I would put those 2 guitars up against any strats or jags.

picked up that tip a couple of months ago that if you have to drive the claw screws in too deep, you need to add another spring, IDK why Fender ships most new Strats with only three springs, or why they attach the springs at angles, you guys know your Strats !

I'd be really interested to know your string gauges and if tuning to Eb inhibits you jamming with others. Great video.

Chill and positive with guitars. What else is there?

I am excited for the golden chariots to fly down and give me my vintage strat

Awesome playing. His sounds louder than yours but I think yours sounds right. Can't put it into "Guitar words" but it was great to see two guitars so similar brought back from garage paint jobs, etc...

Been playing for 46 years. I still say it’s the player, not the guitar. I have new Strats that sound better than my old Strats. You could put Stevie Ray on a Teisco, and he’d have made that bitch sound like $100k guitar.

Stainless steel frets are what most boutique guitar makers are using now for their guitars priced in the $3000.00 range. Stainless will way outlast nickel.

'59 on right appears to have a replacement pickguard based on color and also extra screw hole on lower cut away. Just a note :) Also, refretted four times? Wow. You must play constantly!

I have a custom shop 59 reissue with a slab rosewood neck. I’d love to be able to compare it with the read deal.

If I had a nickel for everytime I saw two beautiful 59' strats I'd be.... poor. Awesome video and playing as usual. I'm jealous of the guitars and skills. Keep bluesin🎸

Ur friend playing reminds me Albert King. Nice vid, would like to sound more cool stories about vintage Fenders. How about video " how to spot vintage fake" or smth like that

Really loving this channel at the moment. I've been playing for 35 years, many of those professionally when I was in my teens and 20s, but I'm a contractor now and I only play for fun. I just started collecting a few guitars recently and playing a lot more, so this channel has been inspiring me to find myself an old Strat. I don't own one at all at the moment, just a couple of older Les Pauls, a Tele and a few other random guitars. I certainly can't afford a 50s at the moment, but I'd be interested to know what are considered good periods for a more modern, affordable Strat?

Lenny at the end was too perfect

I'd love to see some figures when you say high action :)

Ok june not july, putting that in my notebook right now! JK ,details! Enjoy the interesting videos and the playing, keep on keepin on!

Mat do you have any more specifics on how you set up your guitars? I saw one video where you set string action at 1/8th" (presumably at 17th fret?) and what are your relief specs? I saw the video on fret leveling and nut work, not sure if you have any more videos on how you setup your guitar.

13:00 is where Matthew thinks “He knows I have upstairs neighbors right?”

THIS VID IS SICK...................Oh man....Leo Fender is a god damn genius. That "Twang"'...has the same feeling like when a big block v8 hits the brown note...SUBLIME

Cool to see Jodie Foster talking about guitars

I was able to pick up a 67 jazzmaster that had been desecrated with neon orange spray paint years ago for stupid cheap. The candy apple red was still under there and after about a month I got all that crap off. Swapped the bridge for a mastery through the original in the case and re fretted it. Unfortunately over the years it got to the point my awesome player grade vintage guitar went up in value to the point I could no longer gig it. Was a lot more enjoyable when it was a 1500 dollar guitar that I had no issue with refretting or swapping stuff. Had to sell it when it got to the point my guitar was worth over twice as much as my truck. Look for vintage guitars with some problems or you’ll need a 2nd mortgage to buy one.
