Thank you man. That's what its about

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. 👍🏼

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!

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....🙏🏻👌🏻👍🏻✌🏻

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

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.

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

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

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!

This is really cool great conversation. Thank you.

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.

Love the gear talk and the playing. Thanks!

Great episode, Matt and Nik.

This two guys really inspired me to love SRV

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

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

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.

@@outsiderdf Actually, Leo did not revert back to slab for 'The Real Ones' era of G&L. Once BBE took ownership of G&L in '92 they changed the neck design and their rosewood/maple necks had a thicker veneer which somewhat resembles a slab fingerboard. In this video, Dale Hyatt points out what XLBiker mentions re potential twists developing -kzread.info/dash/bejne/eIms1q1mpde8aLw.html (8:44 time mark)

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

Nik has such a beautiful deep voice.

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

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!

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.

Another great video! Thanks!

Kickass jamming that's what's up 🤘

Nice 'Last Word Jam' at the end.

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.

Nik's phrasing is on point

Lovin' the jammin' !!

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

Sweet!!!!

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

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.

Too much awesomeness in one video.

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

Very cool!

great video guys! niks playing its so great and real

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✌🏻

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.

XpErIEnCeD_ViRgIn _ Yeah. They are key to the guitar. Although the neck plays very well too. But I had a 63’ jazzmaster whose neck was the best ever. Almost wanted to put it on the strat...

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.

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

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

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.

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.

Lenny at the end was too perfect

Chill and positive with guitars. What else is there?

The person who shaped the necks at the factory that year probably got a raise that year.

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...

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 !

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

In fact, the Vaughan family had 4 boys, Stevie, Jimmy, ... Matthew and Nick 👍👍😉

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

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.

What a pair of Strats!!! Soo cool! I've always wanted a vintage strat or tele with that girl silk screen or sticker like on the back of Nik's. I know that a silly feature but it adds to the vibe in my opinion aside from everything else that makes them wonderful of course! Slab board, super playable neck and sound! Clay dot inlays! I like the pickguard on Matts too! Original case too wow! I just hope i will get lucky one of these days a find a diamond in the rough like you guys did! Dumb question but: are the 59's bodies ash or alder? Or was that just 55'? Thanks for sharing guys! Rock on!

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.

All nickel steel frets are in fact stainless, it's just the harder grades they call SS are more difficult to hand-work. PRS uses its own grade which is fairly hard, harder than typical industry accepted and they have a very low refret rate.
