Not that it matters to anyone but my cat just died today (11/6/2022). My mother came to tell me while I was watching this video. The song at the end was very fitting. This is the type of music that I would play to her when she was alive. This video came up in rotation. Thank you for sharing this with us although I watched it a little late it was definitely the right time.
Condolences lost mine a month ago.
I am so sorry for the loss of your baby
:(
Some may call it blasphemy, but I do love the carved names, it gives the instrument a real feel and story. Love the video's cheers from Belgium
I do too. Makes the guitar more interesting.
From Belgium? Belgium does not exist, never make that mistake. You are asking for a Belgenmop. Wie heeft de mooiste tanden in Vlaanderen? Da's die ene komiek, die Philippe Beugels.
@@MatthewScottmusic Hi Matthew! I wrote you an e-mail before... I really like your shares and guitars and ideas about music etc etc. What is the way that you can afford real vintage guitars? I mean I would really like to know some little "secrets" of yours as advices... :)
@@voornaam3191 CHUCKLES! I don't speak Flemish, but I speak Afrikaans which is fairly similar! Ongelukkig weet ek niks van Flaamse tande nie!
Id rather sand them out, it would drive me nuts looking at them :-)
Holy moly. I confess that the out-of-phase tone really worked for me. I can see it being a really cool rhythm tone in some spots. I never gave these guitars a second glance, but now I might have to take another look. I really liked all the tones.
Buy one. Now.
Somebody loved the hell out of that guitar....! Can’t imagine all the songs that thing has played.
I love these old duo sonic II guitars, not many videos about them on yt.
lol
I have a '66 Mustang, refinished in original Daphne Blue and rewired the PUPs and switches. I bought this new when I was 19 years old...I am now 74 years old and still enjoying this guitar.
Daphne blue isn’t original, while they probably used the same mix the literature simply gives the colors available as red, white or blue. And specifically states that custom colors (such as daphne blue, Dakota red and Olympic white) aren’t available on students models the Musicmaster, mustang and duo sonic ii.
I'm sure Andrea and Doug are happy that you brought this one back to life! Great job brother Matthew!
Yes, & they are probably in their 70s now!
I just got into collecting guitars. I love your channel man
Thats awesome! So glad to hear that✌🏻👍🏻
@@MatthewScottmusic your gonna end up making the market place more expensive 😂😂👍
It's already out of control. But a lot of goods and services are going up.
You can tell that's a great guitar because someone (maybe Doug, or his admirer) played the _hell_ out of it.
Duuude you got a duosonic ii!! (L series I noticed which makes that a 64 or early 65). Makes me excited since I’m a Mustang lover. Just before the virus hit I was very very lucky to get a near mint 1964 Fender Mustang in dakota red with clay dots. A veryvery early one from July 1964 that still has black bobbin pickups (24 scale though, not the 22,5 although I have tried a 22,5 scale 66 once). Nicee. Haven’t even watched your video yet, was too excited and had to comment first 🙏😸
Awesome man! I wish this was the longer scale and B width. I'm still looking out for one of those.
Damn someone played the living shit out of that thing.
Isn’t that so flippin’ COOL?!
Thats what I look for! Love it!
Jimi Hendrix’s Angel would sound great in the out of phase position
"Maybe Doug was all about that, I don't know?"
I am
The things I say in front of the camera..
@@MatthewScottmusic haha, I love it 😊 I’m a big fan of your channel and all the vintage gear. Keep it up!
Doug had a knee slapper...bahaha
@@thorpenator9148 😁😂
Oh jesus christ now I need a duosonic. This sounds AWESOME
I own a 1965 Mustang in dakota red that was my Great Grandads. It’s about as rough as that guitar but feels and plays like magic! Love your videos man
The tone of that one is awesome, and it is absolutely beautiful.
Incredible how you put life back in a guitar simply by cleaning it. These videos are very pleasant to watch and learn if you are into guitars. Also funny how you pronounce Andrea I would say it Andre-ah
Too funny, I am married to an Andrea…..
It drives her nuts when people pronounce it
Ahndreeya
She likes it just the way Matthew said it🤠
Just scrolling through the comments and thought and was funny that you mentioned it
If you’re not already aware, shoemakers can replace broken latches on vintage cases! I had that done a while back. It can get pricy but well worth it if you wanna keep using that case.
Great find, fantastic video. That's a piece of history there. I'd like to think that both Doug and Andrea would approve. And personally I love the sound of the out-of-phase pickup selection. In a world full of Strats and LPs something a little different is kind of nice now and then.
I've always kinda had a secret love affair with mustang's and I love to see vintage ones being played. Nice job as always.
Thanks Kent, I need a real Mustang!
Matthew Scott id love to see ya pick one up! The 24” B width neck would serve you wonderfully. I believe mustangs could be ordered with 22” A width too, but most are the 24” B width
@@MatthewScottmusic absolutely. I do agree that the tortoise shell with white that's aged 50 years just has that something extra...
I had my headphones cranked during the demo, I LOVE the tone. I am hearing the perfect blend between a Vintage Strat and Tele I think.
When the switches are opposed to each other in either direction, the pickups are out of phase: - - + / + - - or + - - / - - + are the same technically. + - - / + - - or - - + / - - + are also the same (in phase) technically, but I imagine that folks will argue that there are some differences in the "mirrored" settings of each.
Great sounding little instrument, thanks for sharing Matt!
Finally!
came here to say this. everyone always gets it wrong!!
Trying to follow your diagram, but I only see 2 switches. So the 3 marks in your explanation don't make sense to me
@@RobbieTayVaughan it's 2 3-position switches, who's position he is resembling. Just look at a diagram.
To make it short:
Both middle: off
One middle, one switch engaged: one Pickup active.
Switches facing or opposing each other: both out of phase (thin, nasal).
Switches engaged in the same direction: both parallel (as standard)
@@RobbieTayVaughan Each switch has three positions. The diagrams depict the different settings with the "+" symbol being which position each switch is in. The "/" doesn't mean anything in the diagram, just a divider between the switches.
Rad find man!
Thank you Robert, my friend! ✌🏻🙌🏻
Dude, you're such a cool cat. I'd hang with you for sure if we lived in the same town. How you find all these vintage guitars is beyond me but much respect for your channel efforts, playing skills, and time put in acquiring awesome old guitars.
Among other things, he goes to Dallas.
I am one of those folks who absolutely love the out of phase sound. My LP custom pro does that and it makes me smile every time.
There is nothing like those two switches. It's my favorite feature of the Mustang.
Had a friend I played with back in 67...68 had one. Ran it through a baseman. Fun days!
Every time... a new video, a new guitar for me to desire... damn!
YES. The colors are GREAT. Love that tortoise shell..
I bet “money for nothing” would sound pretty cool with that out of phase setting.
My first guitar was a Duo Sonic II that I bought at a music store in 1976 for $50.00 so I could go take lessons somewhere. It's a '65 like this one. The sales dude said they would clean up the contacts in the switches. All for $50.00. I still have it. I'm torn between selling it and keeping it.
And if it's okay to give further comment nice to see someone with a passion for taking care of and rebuilding old guitars
Matt’s vids just are just like his playing... awesome!
I have owned this same Guitar for 55 years, first guitar I learned on. Love it.
For my 19th birthday last year my dad gave me his guitar he’s had since he was 16, a daphne blue 67 mustang that turned what I can only describe as nirvana grunge green. No difference from duo Sonics outside the trem as far as I know. Still an underrated guitar
Great guitar Matt , I remember back in 65 , my Dad and me walked into Hanich Music and on the rack was a 1964 Mustang in Dakota red . They guy told us it would come with a 1964 Deluxe Reverb custom .For $350 , I thought boy the old man is not going for that .Well he said (Dad) give us a case and cover for the amp and you got a real . I was flooded ,went home and played the hello out of it. So yeah I still like those old student models.. Thanks for the memories buddy.🎸😎👍
Your videos are pretty inspiring and I love to hear the old guitars and their character. Thanks for sharing!
The tones you pull out of these old guitars are fantastic man!! Really appreciate the content!🤘
That ones a keeper! I need to keep my eyes peeled for one. That was great that with a little contact cleaner everything worked smooth, keeping it very original. Fantastic find!
I agree that guitars got character and a history it's not worn out it's just broken in
Matthew, you are the guitar equivalent of those channels that find lost, neglected, abused, or starving dogs, full of ticks and fleas, their fur matted, and they clean them up, and slowly breathe life back into them, and voila, a new dog appears, full of life!
Sometimes I think, if those old guitars you rescue could speak...they'd say thank you.
….come come now….most of these instruments have long been identified as having exponential value…clean or not….they are certainly not waiting in the corner like broken toys in The Toy Story….all of them have a line up of competing investors at the door….ready to pay top dollar…no matter how bad a shape they may be in..as long as they have mostly original parts.
@@zeroceiling True enough but i still get a charge out of seeing him bring these old guitars back to life.
mark dietz …sure Mark…that I can understand and also enjoy…
Thanks so much Mark!
Love to see you dig into these old guitars, the duosonic definitely doesn’t get the love it deserves.
I like the junior as it is friendly to small hands, a curse of mine. I also fix up old vintage guitars, but as a player and not a collector and the fact that I am a lefty purist, makes my discoveries all that more harder to find. I don't buy into reversing strings on a right handed guitar. That's like back in the day when my teacher tried to force me to write with my right hand because she believed lefties were demons. I get that collectors are invested in the monetary value, but musical instruments are meant to be played, not displayed and adored. Guitars are incapable of thought and thus incapable of narcissism. So why treat them as such as if they were saying, "Look at me! I am so amazing, beautiful, expensive and valuable. Please don't touch me if you can avoid it, unless you can afford me." Here Matthew shows, "Get it, make it playable and show it has unique character that one want to pick it up and play it even more.
You would like this smaller neck then! Thanks Mark for always supporting!
@@MatthewScottmusic I would indeed. I suspect I will be snooping about for one of those. Since I am mostly retired, I have more time to hit yard sales, estate sales, storage unit auctions (my personal favorite, as no matter what is in them, and they are blind auctions, which are fairly inexpensive, there is always something I can sell on site) and also, I live in Canada, where I am on a list for when they have auctions for stuff that people try to bring across the border illegally. Quite often everything in their vehicle gets seized and if said person/s gets arrested, tried, convicted, and incarcerated, their stuff goes on auction. Also those clowns who try to bring stuff into the country without declaring them, that gets confiscated and sold. They don't bother to check the actual value of things, the don't care, they start with a low ball bid and go from there, until someone outbids. What makes it wonderful is most people who go to these auctions, have only one thing in mind, get as much different stuff for as much money as they are willing to spend. Ergo, they are not going to blow it all on one thing. I have no idea if they do the same thing in the USA. Border Service Agency is federal, and at the same time they act independently, they are not obligated to make profit for the federal treasury, although what they do collect does go there. They feel that their job is to maintain legal integrity of what is coming across the border. If people break the law, then they must bear the consequences of doing so. For years, Canadian border guards were known for their friendly less hassle approach, but they were trained to spot suspicious and guilty folk. Now when I entered the USA, I have always felt I was under a more militant observation, and felt the pressure of getting the third degree, and that's enough to make anyone nervous. Yes, I accept that they are just doing their job, but I go by the idiom, "You catch more flies with honey, than you do with vinegar." See? If approached cool, calm, and friendly, any innocent person will respond alike, but a guilty person is still going to be twitchy. Treat a person as if they are probably hiding some secret, than even the most innocent, has some secret even though it is not related to crossing the border, but the agent's sense of pressing guilt trip, is like a knee jerk reaction.
Well, I have learned to control that, because I have traveled the globe, and gone through border, and custom officials of all sorts. I have had stuff nicked from my luggage, and knew better than to accuse anyone. Of course I put things in my luggage knowing they would take it, because, it became a thing of gaining favor. Such things as prepackaged coffee, packages of cigarettes (not cartons), chocolate bars and other such things that were not illegal but not readily available within the borders of said country I was visiting. I would be asked where I would be staying, which is typical, and shortly after, I would receive anonymous gifts of local wines and spirits. Also I might find a friendly guide asking for me in the lobby. Kindness, is one of the greatest acts of diplomacy there is. It is not a difficult principle.
Cheers
As a lefty, I always assumed there weren’t any vintage guitars for me, good to know they’re out there!
Hi Matthew, thanks for another new post. I really enjoy your videos. They always sound great & are very informative. I look forward to the next one. KH🇮🇪
Love what you are doing Matthew. Great video. A great piece of guitar history. Good job.
In 1974 I bought a 65 Mustang. It was pretty best up. It looked like the guy who had it before me. Filed down the frets. Then the neck was bowing upwards. At the time I didn’t know about replacement necks. So in 1981. I ended up selling it to a kid in my neighborhood.
Eric Johnson used to use out of phase for some of his koto effect stuff. That makes these guitars and the Mustangs a bit ahead of their time. In the '70s people started putting phase switches on strats and Gibsons though I don't know what inspired it, because nobody really knew that was happening on the Mustangs.
I really enjoyed that. Thanks for taking us through the process. Cool Guitar.
I had a '65 Music Master II, 24" scale I got here in Austin for $319 in the mid 90s. Tort guard, old refinished natural body. Neck was dry/finish perfectly played through. Sold it about 15 years ago for $600. I absolutely regret selling that guitar.
I never thought that axe would end up sounding so good. Doug would be proud! Andrea too - even though she’s kinda destructive.
Doug and Andrea had the "I think you love that guitar more than me" talk.
Every video is an absolute joy to watch.
I'm so impressed by how it's aged I can't focus on the tone 😅
Amazing find 💛
I can see why Doug or whoever played the shit out of that guitar. It sounds fantastic.
I actually like that out of phase tone. I love to see you rescuing another lonely instrument that can't share it's love anymore. I like watching you bring them back out into the light and letting us hear what they have to say. I am a fan of that. You keep doing you Matthew, I will keep watching
The first time I watched you was Musicmaster Huge Tone. I had one and let it go way back, so thanks to you I got another one, a '78.Cheers!
Great to see this guitar come to life again!
Absolutely LOVE guitars like that!
These are my favorite videos of yours!
Well I didnt expect it to sound that good with so little work done to it... Nice find 👌
Got one just like it. They have VERY unique and useful clean tone possibilities. Great vid!
Yes, more of these!
I love this restoration videos. It is so rewarding in the long run. Keep em coming!!
Love it! Great job getting making noise again. Im a Doug and I shared this with my gf and now she's talking about doing the same to one of my guitars 😆 eeeeeeek!
Wow I love the tone of it and when you put the pickups out of phase at the end really sounds like the bridge pickup by itself that's the way it sounded like with my headphones but all in all it really has a great tone quality and as usual great playing...."Nunca pare la Musica"
I have the little brother to that one. It's a '66 Music Master II my parents bought for me brand new in '68. I butchered it in the late 70s, painting it black and adding a bridge pickup. It's been restored and is back to Olympic white with a red tortoise guard and just the neck pickup. It's mostly original and gets occasional play. Naturally, I wish I'd never hacked it up but back then it was just an old guitar. I blame EVH, lots of people were doing that back then. Thanks for the video.
Thank you. This was a really fun watch and learn.
Great...nice to see that instrument revived...sounded great..bit of history...now it gets to go on making music!
What’s interesting is Fender did not spend much less money building one of these Duo sonic or Mustangs than they did when making a Stratocaster… despite the different vintage valuation,
This model was price point manufacturing, to capture the younger market... so with the right neck I imagine these could be a steal.
Brian May plays a 22" scale neck. John Lennon played a 22" scale Rickenbacker in the early 60s.
This was such a great video as always! Thank you so much for sharing your tips!
Your channel is so good it almost makes me not feel guilty about watching guitar videos instead of practice.
Love this channel!! Great job
Thanks for uploading this content brother!!
I love how you take a finder fence post. And make it sound dreamy. You're one hell of a player mister scott
Great video as always! Love your content.
Great little guitar, makes me smile!
Love these videos!
Great work! .......thank you.....so much!
Try Deoxit spray, flood the pots and switches to literally rinse out the dirt. It works better!
I've had good luck with Deoxit as well. I have used it on everything, amps, guitars, vacuum cleaners electronics, treadmill electronics, smartphone charge ports, even vehicle plugs/switches. It cleans well and leaves a light film of lube on the components. Well worth the $ if you ask me.
Sounds amazing
LOVE the vibe and sound of these old Mustangs and Duo Sonics. Would love a vintage short scale one day.
Love watching you do this stuff ma
Superb as always
I love the sound. The fact it's all original amazing! I would love to own that beauty!! Good score.👍
Loved the video. I'm a bass player and I work on and assemble my own basses nowadays. Great to see you at work. Also, my wife's birthday is 9 April 1965, and her name is Ann. Since I prefer A width Jazz necks I have kept my eyes open for a neck date just like this one for years...... Very cool!
Thanks for the cool vid!
Awesomeness. Absolutely love those old Mustang Duo's.
Beautiful video Matt. Loved it.
I hope Doug and Andrea are still together.
We can only pray lol
Doug strangled Andrea back in ‘65 when he saw what she’d done to his new guitar 😬
@@jamescassidy3995 bit dark but I’m willing to believe it
I have a 69 Fender Mustang which had similar issues when I purchased it about 20 years ago. I cleaned the pots, replaced the switches and the pickups, did a full setup. It plays and sounds pretty good now.
Picked up a '73 musicmaster last week, first foray into vintage guitars and I love it
Sweet! Thanks Brother.
Look at that stack of Fender custom 68’s and friends! Damn!
Beautiful and really cool Guitar! Congratulations on the find and Once again a great video
sounds great even with a mild cleanup .... thanks , great find
Gorgeous guitar! You can play everything and make it sound good.
Matt, always rocking the good finds!!
Great vid. Excellent tones, beautiful guitar!
Awesome video! I love your videos, they sound and feel so „pure“ and vintage :)
Reall loved the sound of the guitar. It's a winner.
