I just noticed that he has his amp cranked so loud that he wears hearing protection while practicing in his living room. I knew I liked this guy, even if his neighbors don't.

That might be the best tele bridge pickup I've ever heard. You really make that guitar sing Matthew!

That guitar was so loved. I can't believe the condition and every bit of work put into it was done with love and care. He made a good decision selling to you. It's the best place a vintage guitar could end up.

It's nice to hear something that's not the usual pentatonic stuff. Very cool opening jam.

The Fender Custom Shop ought to make a copy of this one! Masterbuilt!

We need an updated guitar collection video! 🤘🏻

My favorite part of these videos is when you have a really cool story about the history of the guitar man! Great video, and as always that tone is just insane and unmatched.

08:27 I use to download the audio of your videos just to cut this Licks for enjoying the rest of my days every time i want. Amazing tone and playing.

Thanks for the share, Matthew!! And thank Jeff for the find for us!!!

Stunning guitar, stunning sound, stunning playing.

Mathew, your playing is always a treat to hear.

Thnx Matthew for your videos. Awesome playing. Looks like my 70s.

Love this so much! Shoutout to Jeff and to you for the killer playing and content as always 🔥✨

Great story behind the tele. Great looking guitar. Sounds great too. Love the sounds you squeezed out that telecaster. Thanks for sharing!!

Matthew, your playing is hypnotic and never fails to amaze!

Interesting guitar!!! The honeying of that neck and headstock looks amazing! The birdseye is gorgeous! That engraved humbucker was a one year only item, I believe. They command quite a price all by themselves! All of those pickups sound fantastic! That's a nice guitar, and infinitely versatile with that HSS setup! Thank you for sharing it with us! Playing, as always was great!

Why do so many rural communities in America have such a thriving musical scene? Is it about population density? You can play loud without bothering the neighbours? Or is it about playing in church on Sunday? Or is it possible to go to a bar and play with others? Or do folk meet up in each other's houses and make music?

Matt your opening sounds fantastic, so good man! Thanks to Jeff for keeping his guitar up like he did.

Way cool find & score Matthew 👍👍. Even though that Tele hasn’t got a lot of “ Road-wear “ on it I’ll bet if it could talk it would have some cool stories to tell. Thanks Jeff for letting Matthew have it , & Thanks for sharing this one with us Mr.Scott… played fantastic as always . Killer tone & nice Sustain . Didn’t seem to be out of tune much , if at all while using Bigsby …. I think you found another “ Keeper “ here with this one . 😉

Sounds fantastic! It’s great that you know most of the backstory on this guitar.

Super cool! I have a 1970 Tele, missed out on a maple cap barely, but I really dig this era! Thanks for sharing with us!

That is one righteous looking Telecaster with a cool history. Thank you for sharing this Matthew and for giving that old warhorse a good home.

It reminds me of the '70s Telecaster you previously had also with a Bigsby but this one twangs real hard... great score and great video Matt!

That is the coolest sounding and looking tele I’ve ever seen. Please don’t change it back to original, the story is better this way!

Very cool and unique Tele. I was skeptical when I saw the pickup configuration, but the guitar sounds incredible. Your playing was phenomenal Matthew!

How understated, you got lost, didn’t you? We know when we find that ‘thing’ and then we’re not really playing, just along for the ride don’t we? Amazing, your friend found a good home for his baby, and at best it shows we are only stewards for a relatively short time for that hunk of wood we found and choose to take with us possibly for a life time…

proper player grade, the player needed more versatility, they made that the case

OMG freaking amazing tone … and superbly played as usual 😮

Love your videos. Always look forward to new stuff.

Its always a "better" find when theres a story behind the instrument! Thanks for sharing!

That's a great looking and sounding Tele. great find

Pure admiration and love for the instruments. You're an inspiration as an artist and collector.

That neck is gorgeous, love the vintage pic of the guitar with the old Kentucky long rifle with the flame maple stock.

Awesome Matt《☆》Nice demo & story👍🔥Pretty Kool Gibson humbucker on a Tele🖖😎☮

Love the last fret!! Sounds great.

Fender should do a special Custom Shop run of this guitar. Would be a really cool FSR.

Matthew the intro was great with the acoustic accompaniment, please do more like this. Fantastic playing mate and please call the guitar Jeff.. LOL.

Love the guitar, and love the story. Keep em coming, Matthew!

Love hearing you play. Cool tele. Thanks.

If it sounds like that after all those mods, I'm all for it. Sounds like a real working-musician's axe, very versatile with a nice inherent tone.

I have a new-ish tele modded almost the same way (Cunife WR in neck, tele 64 neck in middle, tele 64 bridge) and I absolutely love it

Thanks for the demo! You play awesome! I had a Tele that looked like this one but it was a few years newer. When I bought it, the person who traded it in to the Guitar store had routed out the bridge pickup and put in a Gibson humbucker which didn't align too well with the strings and the first string was never as hot as the others! I loved playing that guitar and it sounded great but I traded it in and bought a Floyd Rose Kramer Focus 3000 back in the 80's which was great too! Wish I had them both now!

Beautiful tone!

Nice!! another great find Matthew you seem to have the midas touch for finding these rare ones

That thing is badass! The neck position is lovely! Don’t let Keith near it.

Man, that maple cap is stunning!!! 😍😍😍 What a find! 👍👍👍

What incredible tone! and sustain

That guitar sounds KILLER!!!! Not sure what pedal you hit for the overdrive, but man, it howled feedback on que over and over! And that Birdseye maple neck! And the Gibson neck pickup?! What a find! Another great video from Mr. Scott!

I think Matthew uses a TS9. Dunno which reference though.

Enjoyed this. Your quite the guitar hunter. I enjoy when you find great gear and demo it and discuss the details.

Great sounding Tele! You are a master Matthew. Keep up the good work. Some hints of funk 49 there, I think.

It sounded great ..! Great emotional playing too***

What more can I say, simply awesome !!!

that bridge pup...wow man...and the placement of the OG neck pup is amazing...

Thank you for sharing this guitar, story and such great playing.

Matt, steady scaring up the cool guitars! Great find, congrats. Jeff bequeathed her properly.

Ive got an early Schecter Tele with a birdseye maple neck. It was one of the "kit guitars" that Rudy's used to sell in NYC back in the lawsuit era days. The birdseye on that neck is literally covered in the eyes. Just like yours! It IS a rare thing to find.

Great playing, man! I love the sound of Fenders with humbuckers installed. I play a maple neck Stratocaster with a pair of PAFs (fore & aft). Best sounding guitar I've ever had. There's something about that Fender scale-length coupled with humbuckers, I tells ya!

That thing sounds AMAZING!!!

The mods sound great. And that fretboard! B a great addition to your arsenal

VERY cool Telecaster! I built a Telecaster around the end of 1970, beginning of 1971 (I think it was) with a solid mahogany body, TWO Gibson SG Standard pickups and the standard Fender bridge pickup ... a very early on custom shop version, I guess! Keep that neck nut lubed and it will stay in tune! This one sounds fabulous!

This thing is a keeper! Exactly the kind of weird cool Tele I'd love to find. I've got a Strat with a Tele neck pickup in the middle and I love it more than I should!

Cool video! It was pretty common back in the 60s & 70s to see a Telecaster with a humbucker added. I think people liked to have the gibson sound with the play-ability of a tele.

That's cool! I always wanted to have a '67 Telecaster, because it's my year of birth. 20 years ago, these original '67s were already quite pricey, but the ones with a Bigsby (even an original) were still relatively cheap and easy to find. I understood. I didn't like 'em then. It's only in these last couple of years that I started to realize that I missed out on something great. O well...

Very cool piece and sounds killer.

I got goosebumps listening to you playing that Fender. Longt time that this happened to me. 🥰

Matt you have a awesome eye for guitars, and this Tele proves it. Please keep up the hard work and awesome content.

epic guitar, perfect for you and sounds killer bro! congratiolations

More or less a classic Brent Mason Tele, also a 67 model! Congrats for the guitar!

Love your finds. Amazing guitar.

Man you always find the coolest guitars! Great content as always thank you

I love it! Completely mad guitar and truly one of a kind!

keep bringing it on home

Awesome playing, dude

sounds great thanks Matt

Something magical about bigsby on a tele I tried over the years, it gives a different attack that envelopes in a unique way.

Awesome playing as always cool tele for sure I'm curious about its playability hard to tell because you make them all look easy 🤘

You kill it. You always seem to make these sound unbelievably good. Ive got a 65 Princeton Reverb, bought for $200cad a few months ago at a pawn shop, but beat to hell. It had a pile of tools on it, and a ladder through the grille cloth. All tubes are good, and cosmetics aside, just needa a power cable. I left it in to get cleaned up and running nice, bit im pretty worried im going to catch the vintage bug after.

What a Beauty! Gorgeous thing Sure sounds amazing too, as you play it.

Whatcha got for us today MS! You're the best!

That’s such a great guitar. Really special. Sounds amazing.

That guitar has a lot of honk, and sounds particularly good on the cleaner tones. Bet it would be good on old time blues. Thanks

Love the birdseye on the fretboard!

Sounds awesome. Jeff did that guitar right!!

tele is such a classic shape. Great for mods

That is one of those vintage guitars, whose story is so interesting, that I just makes no sense to try to make it look/feel like a stock vintage. If a buyer cannot appreciate the history, it doesn't deserve it.

That is one beast of a telecaster 🤘🏻 I hope don’t change a thing on it.

Great playing😊👍

Wow.. that’s the “one”.. modded or not!! Pure singing Tele!! Your playing ..yeah your right on top of it Matt!! ✅

matthew we need a tone video, just a run down of what pedals you have/mics that you capture this crazy tone with

seems like a amazing GIT-TAR, sure sounds good!

That guitar has some of the best tone and sustain I've heard in a vintage guitar. Seems weird saying vintage when it's only 3 years older then me lol.

Well done!

Love it! Nothing I love more than a Tele with a Bigsby and a Humbucker (or a P90) in the neck position. BUT....There's still room for one more mod! Maybe even two! Reverse the control plate so that the pickup selector switch is in the back (closer to the bridge/Bigsby) then swap the tone and volume controls so that the volume is in the front, tone in the middle. Easier to do volume swells and keeps your hand from hitting that sharp pickup selector when you're playing rhythm. Plus that plastic knob is going to go missing eventually and that pickup selector becomes a cheese knife. Better to get it out of the way. Then, if you're feeling really saucy, make either your tone or volume a push/pull pot and wire it to that middle pickup...so you can use the controls as original but add in that middle pickup any time you want by pulling out the knob.

That's a wonderful sounding guitar Matt....

Glad to see your hair is a bit longer again😊👍

Beautiful guitar!

Excellent as ever! I guess these birds eye veneers on these caps (they must be quite thin) survive the years because people switched to the more popular standard models, I mean if you wanted a Tele then you assumed it would not have a trem, otherwise you'd have a Strat.. I like the way this guitar is so keen to latch on to the upper octave in the overtones.. Well worth giving it a voice on stage if there's room for it, for some of that high octane octavey attitude! Peace and max respect, Matthew. 🌟🎶

It sounds awesome. Cheers 🇬🇧

I'm sure Jeff was happy to see it go into such capable hands!
