    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.

    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?

    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 . 😉

    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.

    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!

  • @mariodriessen9740
    @mariodriessen9740 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    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...

  • @RByrne

    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.

    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. 🌟🎶

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!
