Sounds so incredible - dream duo right here!

Another amazing demonstration by Aaron! ECG digs up the treasure, folks!

Beautiful guitar (and amp) but Aaron is just a monster guitar player! Thank you.

Your guitarist is really cool ! Thank you and him ! Great stuff, great presentation, great sound and guitar playing. 🤝

Am I dead wrong, or was that intro a take on Incubus' "drive" ? Whatever it was, blew my socks off! Beautiful!

Aaron and a strat is all I need to melt my worries. This guy and his incredibly nuanced style is an absolute show stopper, love these videos

That's the best sounding Strat demo I've ever heard. That Vibroverb is a tone monster.

A double strat morning from Aaron… first the Korean and then the 58. Feeling oh so comfortably numb!

That's class Aaron, the Comfortably Numb cameo is perfectly placed, this guitar will never have been played better.

Man oh man do I ever enjoy watching your videos. Now if you'll excuse me i'm going to play guitar. Keep up the good work.

Last year for the maple neck until around '71 or '72, and first year with the cherry sunburst ... an iconic piece of Fender history, right here that sounds as incredible as it looks as those bell ringing pickups sing out!

Gunna be honest, Aaron Hiebert and vintage strats are the reason I subscribed to this channel… Just sayin 🤷‍♂️oh and vintage/boutique amps as well…

Another beauty in both sound and looks thank you ECG and thank you Aron for the Gilmore🔥👍🤙

Sometimes I just sit on my couch with my headphones and listen to Aaron Hiebert...

That was an epic piece of guitar playing... wow. Almost a spiritual experience.

Love that Strat/Vibrolux combination.

Aaron, once again if I want to hear the best guitars played nakedly through killer amps, I just have to turn on ECG when all the talking, explaining, (forgive me) hyping, is done and they place the guitar in your hands, I know I’ll come away knowing exactly what that very specific piece will sound like. Thanks once again!!!✌️❤️

What a guitar player oh yeah.

the riff at 9:00 min is so groovy that I want to learn it :D unreal playing all the way Aaron, sound quality exceptional, such as the guitar. this channel is a treasure.

Aaron killing it again! I heard some Incubus in there I'm pretty sure ;) Teach me your ways....no seriously, do you do online lessons Aaron???

Nice demo! 👏👏👏

Years ago I had a well respected Luthier build me a ‘58 Strat replica. This after not being completely satisfied with the Fender CS. Until I heard this video I’ve always thought the guitar, mainly the pickups, demonstrated too much midrange, especially the neck position where everything from the get go sounded like SRV. He informed me the windings in ‘58 were the highest which contributed to that fatter sound. Now I know my guitar has “that” sound and is a pretty true representation of the real McCoy.

Absolutely exquisite. Well done #aaronhiebert

That thing sounds really good. Way better than most.

I'm reading a 1964 vibroverb but am both seeing what looks like and hearing what sounds like a blackface Super Revererb.

I am a subscriber and I enjoy the opportunity to see and hear all the various vintage gear you guys display. Thank you. Have you guys thought about telling the audience what the actual weight of each instrument is? Saying an instrument is light or medium light is a matter of opinion, ironically, in my opinion. Players and enthusiasts might be more apt to purchase the instrument with a more clear definition of light, medium, medium/light, ect... Keep up the good work and keep bringing the world of vintage gear straight to our living rooms. ✌️

Haha Azza!! You the man! 👍🇦🇺

Aaron, you're a god to me

the halo strats in my opinion; 1953 prototypes, ture 1954, 1955, 1957 Mary Kay, 1958 tranistion maple necks 3 burst, and we round off the list with a 1963, lam board.

This dude is the funkiest

this is an OH S**t moment, I had one like this.

Comfortably Clean

Why is bridge pickup hieght lower at high E side?

Amp sounds unreal. It must be very loud there.

Metal shavings on the pole pieces!?

Korina one was sweeter!

Non mais là...grave...

It's not a maple board, it's a maple neck!

I'd like to hear someone who's a true master on a Stratocaster. Hell I'd even like to hear myself play this guitar! This guy sounds like anybody else I've heard on a Strat. The Comfortably numb solo as decent although not perfect. A little too jazzy toward the end there. Otherwise this sounds just like a Strat should only with the mojo sound that you're just not going to get with aftermarket modern boutique pickups. That finish is simply LACQUER - this isn't a generic term but a true animal unto itself. You don't hear people say "polyurethanes" or "Polyesters" as each of these are just one type of finish medium. Fender sprayed their finishes thin for two reasons - the first being cost. It was expensive to buy although in bulk they had to buy in 55 gallon drums so that they wouldn't have to worry about running out in the middle of production. Spartan Lacquer is who they bought from until 1955. After that the Telecasters which were blonde had to be reformulated to resemble the originals without much success hence the white blonde era as they could no longer procure this from their supplier for whatever reason. The second reason Fender sprayed them thin is to reduce the amount of spray pattern also known as "orange peel" as this is what it resembles after being painted with a spray gun. This made any sort of polishing easier to do. This is the reason that the finishes cracked or spider webbed, or rather "checked" as it is known in modern circles. It's too bad that Fender couldn't get the original buildings or machinery that they originally made these on. It wouldn't matter much as they were already using CNC machines at the time they bought the company from CBS. This is what they use now as it's much faster and more reliable today and provides for much better consistency. Thank you for posting this so that we could all walk down memory lane - at least if any of us were alive then to hear the sound of legends.

It really doesn't sound very good. OK. But hardly great.
