Thanks, Matthew. These are fun. As a retired couch potato who's probably old enough to be your grandfather, these trips make it possible for me to go vintage guitar scouting without having to leave the house.
You're doing what I did 50 years ago and the stuff I had now they call vintage lol , for all the young guns starting out that dont have the money for a overpriced tele / strat , buy a fender Road worn series great guitar and focus on learning to play and don't stress about buying a old guitar , its not going to make you a better player
Damn dude, you're such a good player. I wish people like you could have their pick of these kinds of guitars, instead of them being bought and put up on a wall to impress dinner guests.
Ive known Jimmy Wallace since the mid 70's. I bought a new Les Paul Artisan from him in 78' among several others and marshall JMP's. He was a genius for seeing the antique guitar market to come! He sat in Arnold and Morgan music for over decade and bought every early Gibson and Fender he saw there traded in. His collection is massive and the shop is like the showroom to the warehouse full. Great guy as well. He's a beloved local legend here.
I went to Killer Vintage. They were about to close, but they kindly hung around for a few minutes. I played a few guitars and tried a few pedals out. I ended up getting a pedal since they were kind enough to extend the hours by a bit for me as I was on the way to the airport. I enjoyed the experience.
That Jr. is amazing. I’ve always had a love for Jr’s. Over the summer, I built a full scale, larger bodied mustang-style guitar with my grandfather. One pickup, one volume. I’ve found that the simplicity and the limitations can really open up another side of your playing. I always love to see these videos, as there is only one store that sells anything vintage within an hour and a half from me. Great video and great playing as always!
I just bought an all original 1958 Fender Stratocaster that had been stored in its case in a bedroom closet since 1981, shortly after the person bought the guitar off of the original owner, who also rarely ever played it. Every expert that has seen it so far believes it and its case may possibly be the most well preserved 58’ Strat in existence.
@@ElmarSprong Chris Buck is annoying as hell. He might play very fancy (or as he would call it "posh") it is not very versatile. Always the same fancy, show-off style playing mixed with his annoying posing. He is almost meme-like. Mix that with the fact, that the songs Buck&Evans release are super boring. Meaning really really boring uninspired radio pop-rock. Let me just say this: Buck Evans is the most annoying guitar player on TH-cam. Matt is not only a great and sympathic guitarist, he also is not part of the gear circlejerk involving certain bigger guitar store chains and online retailers....
@@vapporiesat3125 also can't understand what people like so much about his playing. Seems like same little slide into a few bends at once then quick runs into a slow vibrato over and over. Also personality of a 90 year old man
Jimmy Wallace is one of the most genuine righteous people anyone could have the pleasure of knowing. In addition to his collection of sweet vintage instruments he is the first boutique dealer chosen by Gibson as a partner. His line of personal proprietary instruments based on Gibson designs is superb, as are his personal line of pickups. He owns the largest vintage guitar show on the planet started by Charley Wirz. Jimmy keeps the torch burning, and he's one of the finest guitarists one could ever hear. He's always been kind to me and I'm nobody. Visit him if you ever have the opportunity. Thanks for this video brother.
There used to be a great vintage guitar shop in South Congress by the Continental Club in Austin, which was called One World. The manager, Gary, was a really great guy. Sadly, the shop's owner decided he could make a better living by renting the shop out as office space and it closed down in about 2001. The irony is that the owner succumbed to a heart attack having gone to all the effort to refurbish the premises. I have happy memories of being in that shop and talking to Gary and the interesting folk who came by.
A couple of American Pro Strats among others on the rack, and had bought a '62 Gibson 330 in 1973 in Dallas, then a '68 Gibson 335 in 1974 in Fort Worth, to start this wonderful lifetime journey (oh for those 'affordable to MOST musicians' days) ....yet I'm sitting here playing and watching with a stock $189 Firefly....and happy/mad that it sounds SO good. This singing wood and wire hobby is mischievous!
What a selection. You made those guitars come back to life. Would love to see a video on the weight of each guitar you own. Or am I missing a video on it already? Great job Matthew
Oh yeah.. BIG TIME. I swear the only thing that would of made this video any better would of been in the truck on the way to the next guitar shop and just as he finished tellin' how cool the collection was at Jimmy's... at 11:49 when he looked into the camera he instead says; "And we're goin' back for that junior! "⛧🤘
I heard “oh Josephene “ slip by there and just noticed in general that you got some Rich R in you. Me too I’m a big fan. Then I saw your Brothers Of A Feather shirt. Says it all.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. This guy is a jewel of a personality and a jewel of a guitar player. And here's my observation....in the UK we have the boring self obsessive Chapmans, Bucks, and Spenders who create vain self glorifying portraits of themselves. Mathew Scott portrays the true message of a guitar player and musician that speaks and plays from his soul in both his playing and humble, endearing portrayal of himself.
I actually saw a friend of mine that went to the Dallas Guitar show 2 years ago. They had a run of the SRV's reissues that were about $400.00 and a limited run of them also. That friend said he saw one at a booth a guy was trying to sell for 20k, He almost bought it because he doesn't know much about guitars at all and thought it was cool and he had the money. I told him it was a very nice, limited edition version worth about $400.00 and even sent him a link to the limited edition version. People will try to scam you for sure!
Bought a 3x10 Bandmaster from Jimmy at the Dallas guitar show back in the '80's. I told Jimmy he was asking too much. He just said."Find another one". Paid $1600... No idea what it's worth now. Great amp.
Your playing really is inspiring, so organic and natural. Your multi-string vibrato is so recognizable and amazing. My favorite out of the ones you played would be that 59 hardtail strat or the Esquire.
that's soo classic. you're going to a music store. you start looking at guitars and end up buying something, in most cases a pedal or accessories, you can actually afford ;-)
I don't know if I told you but I have a Les Paul junior I think it's 2013 and it was found in a dumpster with the neck snapped halfway off the bolts were pulled out and it needed a couple of tuners I got some new bolts for it new tune Pro-Line tuners which aren't expensive but they match exactly which was just a fluke for me because I didn't know what I was looking for got some bolts and bolted it back together I love that guitar I freaking love it it's a nice guitar it's a junior it's an epiphone but I love the guitar one of my favorite guitars and I own five hey Donnie Van Zant played a Junior
Great upload, dude. That 335 is to die for. Loved it. Any updates on the band's recordings? I could give "mirrors" a listen right now... Cheers, dude Edit: About the Two-Rock, was it a black one, with black grill? The one that shows up after you walk in? If so, that's a Traditional Clean.
It is incredible - I live in Toronto (4+ million people), and would never come across the wealth of vintage guitars that you can find so easily in even many of the 'smaller' markets in the US...
Hey Matthew, I have been craving a deluxe reverb 65 RI. But!!! Now you have me interested in playing a super reverb. My only problem is finding one within 100 miles from where I live. Thanks for all your episodes. Been watching for about 8 months now.✌
Damn Boy, you are one hellava guitar player! Really enjoyed you perusing those old gems and hearing your ability to really test drive them in a meaningful way. I have to wonder if the shop owner knows what great advertising he is getting from your visit.
I put this on Loop Play as I go to sleep day or night. You mix is great. Playing also Great. Just seeing the Awesome Vintage Guitars is so satisfyingly transported into many Guitar Players Homes No Doubt. I tell my wife. See my Wall of 12 Guitars Ain't so Bad is it? 🙄 She says the next guitar I buy will either need it's own Apartment? Or I'll be getting it for Her. 😬 😆🤪 Tanx Pal.
Oh my gosh -- at 12:05 -- they have some of Bugs Henderson's gear! That guy was a local legend in Dallas / Ft Worth. I saw him play in a bar in '78, fantastic player.
Love your riffs and chord progressions, from Beautiful to Gritty Blues rock, the guitars are any guitarist dreams, but you gotta know how to Play them like you do Young Man..Awesome Video..thank you ..loved it
Thanks, Matthew. These are fun. As a retired couch potato who's probably old enough to be your grandfather, these trips make it possible for me to go vintage guitar scouting without having to leave the house.
Some say they have live vicariously through me! lol
@@MatthewScottmusic Well said.

The world needs more grandfathers like you
@@MatthewScottmusicvery curiously 😂
I love vintage Fender hardtail Stratocaster
Damn dude, you're such a good player. I wish people like you could have their pick of these kinds of guitars, instead of them being bought and put up on a wall to impress dinner guests.
Matthew, you’re obviously totally in love with what you do.
That’s awesome and a great inspiration for many others.
this video is like vintage guitar heaven 😭💕
We really need a tutorial for mirrors man, it's one of the best things I've ever heard. also wanna hear you talk about the song.
He posted a vid playing it on insta - i think it had a decent view of his hands so you could copy him there.. But a tutorial would be good yeah
or for truth!!! please! ive been trying to learn that one for a minute!
Lansley Boy Well ive been watching his Hands and figuret some of it out, but yeah a tutorial would be amazing
Learn to play watching yourself in a mirror and notice how fast you learn.
I know many might appreciate but it feels so odd to do such a thing! lol

That junior looks (and sounds) perfect!
Hope you tour the world some day man. You're a phenomenal player.
Thanks for doing these...I'll never see any places like that.
What a treat!
How could you leave without that junior?!? Omg such a perfect guitar.
Indeed.

You demonstrated some really cool guitars man.
Very nice place to be.

PEACE 🤠👍🎸
Matthew, The blonde Strat was killer!!! Wow... Might have to make a trip!!
Your playing gives me chills. I mean forget the equipment and all these things. Just your playing bro. It's awesome
Video brother and thanks for sharing so much. You're a very good player too!
Excellent tour and comments. I have been to all the Dallas stores when I lived there 8 years ago.
Thank you for great video. I am watching it from Japan. "Mary Kaye" what I want. That's sound was sooo sweet.✌🏻
I didnt think you would be such a good player. Hard to find on youtube these days. Keep it up
Jimmys has become my favorite shop if the dfw area.. great selection, super cool staff, fair prices, and a laid back old school shop vibe.. too cool
Thanks Matt, had a blast following you on your journey that day!
Excellent thanks Matthew.............roll on 2021 with hopefully guitar shows coming back into the picture.
The person tuning the guitar in the background gave me anxiety - just waiting to hear that snap.
The TH-cam Critic ukulele... but ok
never noticed until you mentioned it
@@MatthewScottmusic Now you can't not hear it!! mwahaha
I heard that too! I thought i was hearing things. lol
Just moved to Dallas a few months ago. Love it here.
That junior is where it's at
Ahh, my favorite guitar store in garland tx. That’s where I got my telecaster and my Les Paul.
What is this store called
@@thomascianelli1686 jimmy wallace guitars

Man... That 63 335 sounded SO GOOD!!!!!!
As always, your videos feature cool old guitars and amps ...

Matthew another great video. Sharing travels to guitar shops in Dallas or other places is awesome. Keep playing everyday. Cheers James.
What a selection. You made those guitars come back to life. Would love to see a video on the weight of each guitar you own. Or am I missing a video on it already? Great job Matthew

The song at the beginning was great!
Cheers from Italy! This channel is quality. You gained a subscriber!
THANK YOU SO MUCH brother for doing these videos. I love your content anyways, but especially love these type of videos. Okie for life bro

Looked like a Two Rock Traditional Clean. What. An. Amp. I’m fortunate to have a buddy who owns one and is willing to let me play it periodically. 😀
I read somewhere that legendary guitarist jj cale was happy with 100 dollar guitar in his later years he used danelectros
ES335 and Junior sounded fabulous
Dude! You have to make your way to Norms Rare Guitars someday. ✌

Killer tone on all these guitars,you really have THE TONE in your hands man😉
Hey Matthew with your beautiful playing you make any guitar sound great!
Who else is sitting watching this with a 3 or $400 dollar budget guitar on their lap?
and thats okay!!
I have an original 56 Les Paul special on my lap. Sorry. 🤣
$180 squier tele and it sounds amazing 🤘🏻
'95 squier/Mexican Stratocaster hybrid on my lap and I'm damn happy about it haha
I bought a modified (neck pickup) g&l rampage 80s model for 300
That '54... those A3 magnets are sooo rich sounding!
Wow the right guitars in the right players hands .. you can play. Great video.
Thank you for watching.
That 57 tele sounded amazing!!! Thanks for sharing!
Thanks for another great video. Some very nice vintage guitars. Of course we had the master taking them though the paces too 😀
Bought a 3x10 Bandmaster from Jimmy at the Dallas guitar show back in the '80's. I told Jimmy he was asking too much. He just said."Find another one". Paid $1600... No idea what it's worth now. Great amp.
if its tweed you did alright id say
the guitars are beautiful, but without your hand they wouldn't have that tone ;)
Man, that Jr at 8:04 sounded absolutely amazing!
It was the standout
Your playing really is inspiring, so organic and natural. Your multi-string vibrato is so recognizable and amazing.
My favorite out of the ones you played would be that 59 hardtail strat or the Esquire.
It def had some sauce to it. Great tone
that's soo classic. you're going to a music store. you start looking at guitars and end up buying something, in most cases a pedal or accessories, you can actually afford ;-)
I got goosebumps from this
oh dude, that dark creme played through strat @3:00 is unbelievable!!! It´s just supercool! Would love to play that beast 😎
You can’t go wrong with a sunburst strat😍😍
I don't know if I told you but I have a Les Paul junior I think it's 2013 and it was found in a dumpster with the neck snapped halfway off the bolts were pulled out and it needed a couple of tuners I got some new bolts for it new tune Pro-Line tuners which aren't expensive but they match exactly which was just a fluke for me because I didn't know what I was looking for got some bolts and bolted it back together I love that guitar I freaking love it it's a nice guitar it's a junior it's an epiphone but I love the guitar one of my favorite guitars and I own five hey Donnie Van Zant played a Junior
The es335 you played is my fav guitar! I can't wait to go Texas some day
Les Paul jnrs have always come alive in my hands for some reason, something about the wild sound they have.
Great upload, dude. That 335 is to die for. Loved it.
Any updates on the band's recordings? I could give "mirrors" a listen right now...
Cheers, dude
Edit: About the Two-Rock, was it a black one, with black grill? The one that shows up after you walk in? If so, that's a Traditional Clean.
gosh I can't remember the amp.. think it was black
That first amp + guitar you played on filled the room.
It is incredible - I live in Toronto (4+ million people), and would never come across the wealth of vintage guitars that you can find so easily in even many of the 'smaller' markets in the US...
Dallas is the 4th largest metro area in the country.
