Found this Rare Vintage Fender Guitar! 

That sounds fantastic. I played Eric's Blackie in the 1980s, he used our rehearsal facility at Shepperton studio's UK, as did many other top artists like the Stones and Black Sabbath. My friend was his guit tech (for over 30 years) and asked me to play a guitar whilst he messed with a guitar synth (after rehearsals) that Roland had given Eric. He passed me Blackie and plugged it up. Some awful noises were happening and couldn't appreciate its real sound, but I was totally lost and on cloud 9. The set up was just spectacular and seemed to play itself, didn't need my right hand. Then I realised his 59 LP Burst was there amongst the 10 guitars sitting in a semi circle, so HAD to play that too. I was extremely fortunate✌️🇬🇧

You've got incredible control of the guitar. The bends, the feedback, the subtleties. Great guitar, great playing.

Man, you’re really the kind of player that makes me immediately pick up my guitar. The tones, the gear, everything.

Love hardtails. I have a 74 hardtail that I got for my 12th birthday in 1976. It was in the store, for two years, still brand new; nobody wanted it. It's not as cool as this 57, obviously, but it's still my favorite guitar.

Matthew, love your passion, presentation, playing and vintage content. Many thanks.

You never cease to amaze! It's good that you find these treasures. I'm sure they are in good hands plus we get to hear them.!! Can't wait to see inside this great old guitar. This thing is one year older than me . It's a real treat that you take the extra time to show this. Thanks again!

Some of my favorite guitar tones on RU-vid (and ever). Sounds great, keep it up 👍

Beautiful guitar and playing as usual. I really dig hardtails.

I'm not a vintage guy, I'm not even a strat guy, I don't like old rock or blues yet I enjoy the hell out of your playing, your passion and love for your craft, gear and music. Stellar work and thank you!

New to the channel and love it already. The thing I take away most from your videos is how much your love for SRV shines through your playing. Thanks :)

Another great find Matthew! Always enjoy watching you vintage gear videos. Thanks for sharing!

Oh man, exactly what I needed after a long night of work. 7am, most people rising & shining, but I'm headed off to bed! No rest for the wicked! Great playing as usual, Mathew, and a beauty of a strat from long ago..I love all of it! Keep doing your thing, kid, you make me proud to play guitar.

Always amazing listening to your playing, that wonderful tone...Thanks truly for your inspiring job

Congrats on finding a true gem. We all know you will cherish it and make it sing for another 60 years!

Man I love your tone. Somehow you manage to wring a lot of feeling out of even the simple strummed chords. Great find, and looking forward to more videos on this one.

Awesome sounding guitar. What makes it even better is somebody who knows what they're doing when they're playing it, you demoed it perfectly

Man I've watched countless M Scott videos he's great guitarist especially blues. And those amps are just to die for!

That strat sounds so good you're lucky to have so many awesome examples of fender history amazing player with an amazing guitar

Stunning guitar and tone. Almost as stunning as the playing!

Sounds fantastic!! I'm impressed! And your playing, like always, is top notch!

Awesome as usual Matt! Really great tones, nice and chimey!

Sick guitar and sick playing . One of my favorite RU-vid channels . Can't wait to hear your music!

Man what a special guitar, sounds better than it should. Very soon someone will notice just how good your playing really is.

What a glorious thing, outstanding playing and tone as usual Matt

Good stuff man. Great quality as usual. Love the sounds and the playing. Really enjoyable channel.

VERY nice indeed. You always find the best stuff man, geez. It should stay in-tune just fine!

Very nice video as usual and great playing. Your tone rules .. the best. GREAT find 👏👏

Man, that tone is suburb AF. I'm happy for you for finding this. You should be happy for me too. I bought a Kingfish signature Fender telecaster deluxe today and it is absolutely glorious in every single aspect. To digress, that strat is an utter dream and I'm incredibly jealous, but not in a bad way.

I find that I like your videos before I even watch them. You find some great pieces of history and do them justice with your amazing playing.

Enjoyed the playing. Looking forward to more on this guitar.

Love the hardtail!! I need about 30 more minutes of you playing to really get a handle on those tones!!

Great video as always Matthew. What a find! What a beauty! That bridge tone! 🔥

Another great find Matthew! Love these 🤘🏽

Very cool guitar, beautiful tone, beautifully played. Thank you

Sounds fabulous!

Beautiful guitar, great content, another mighty fine video Matthew, thanks for sharing 🎸🤠

I prefer the hard-tail Strat option, and this one is a beauty! Can't wait for the inspection video.

Matthew's always got something well -worth listening to in store!

Magnificent sounding strat wow..great playing

Absolute dream guitar. Incredible tones you got there.

Sounds and looks great. I hope you will be using some of your great vintage guitars including the strat's on your upcoming album. Looking forward to your album, I hope the album is not overly worked and processed and allows for the true tone and sounds of your playing and guitars/vintage amps to come through as they do on your You Tube video's. From my point of view some of the best albums I have heard are the ones that have been recorded with a raw live feel; mainly recorded with room mics. For example the latest ZZ Top album called RAW.

Its always a pleasure to hear one of these guitars in the hands of someone who can really get the best out of it. I can play guitar but Mathew is at one with it. There will never be another guitar made In the original Fullerton California factory or on the original machinery and tooling. You can buy all the Fenders you want but it will never be the same. Leo Fender was indeed a genius

Great find! Looks great. Sounds Fantastic! 🎸 Super sweet....

What a cool Fender. Sounds great, and of course, I always love to hear you play too:-). Thanks for sharing.

Total keeper Matthew!! Great playing too.

Nice find Matthew . I was born in 1957 like that Strat...Sounds GREAT

Looking forward to the follow up episode. What a cool guitar!

Great guitar. Love hardtails. Nice find my friend!

Nice find. Sounds amazing . Thanks for great demo as always!

What a gem! It sounds beathtaking. Thank you for this wonderfu presentation.

The sound of history right there - loved it

Looking forward to seeing what’s inside. You find wonderful quirky vintage guitar’s. Another winner. I’m digging “Where you Been” Thanks Matthew. ✌🏼👍🏼

I love hardtail Strats ! This one looks and sounds amazing 🙌🏼

Matthew, the grey primer was the standard automotive color of primer paint. The guitar and your playing sounds great. You always find cool guitars and amps. The prices have gone through the roof in the last three years, a 65 strat cost what a 57-59 did several years ago.

Amazing tone!! Thank you!!!

The contours are so deep , sounds awesome Matthew.

That black with the maple neck is so iconic. Excellent find. Thanks for the video.

AMAZING tone I’m blown away 😮

the overtones ringing out at 7:50 are so sweet

Another awesome find, thank you for sharing!!

Wow! Seriously Matty where do you find these Gems 💎 Love your work mate always entertaining! Your playing and sound is awesome 👏

Matthew, the TONE of that Guitar is Outstanding, You are a Lucky Man to find this, When you played Hendrix at the beginning of the video, It Just Had That Jimi Sound, Clapton always played a Hard Tail, He still does, He is not a Trem Guy, I can go on For awhile about it but , Thanks for this Video here, Cousin Figel

Guitar looks cool, sounds great, Matt's story is interesting and informative as always. Thank you very much, friend! PEACE! ✌🎸

10:03 i have goosebumps in some part of ur videos. That bend. that tone. that playing.

what a clear, glassy sound!

Whoah Matthew... Around the 7 minute mark, with the bridge position, truly sublime...

Great find Matthew. Love the '56 and '57 neck profiles. Thank You for sharing

Your playing is super inspiring, and your gear is the stuff of dreams…

I personally would love to see a refret video! Awesome guitar, can’t wait to see what’s under the hood!

man o man...congrats on that one...sounds excellent...some soul left in her...

A fortune find! A beautiful beast! Sounds great even without my headphones

Amazing sound! Great find.

Very warm sounding!

I liked your playing so much while i was listening on my phone that I plugged it into my monitors. Nice work.

Black strats are my fave Matt and that one has a ton of vibe and sounds great! Thanks for posting.

love to see someone who appreciats fenders instaid of always a gibson fenatic . love your vids , keep them coming thanks

Great tone and sound. Love the way you play.

woooow! great tones! I bought a new tele in 67 and I always played with switch hung between 1 and 2nd position. Loved that tone.. Still using it every wk, but it looks rough. the neck position was real dark, never used it. lots of changes, even a bbender. PS the amp back drop was awesome. I have 4 '68/'69 drip edge, 3 bf, 1 brown face bassman and several newer up to a 2006 supersonic. only superR I have now is an early RI. my strats are newer avri 57/62 love this stuff...

Brother you find some nice stuff!! A real searcher! I really dig you’re playing.

My dream strat. My first Stratocaster was a 1982 hardtail strat in Sienna Sunburst. Still love it. I just love the attack and the fact that it just doesn't go out of tune. Ron Wood prefers them this way. And Robert Cray off course. So I'm in good company. 😎

Love this! That classic Strat tone is unmistakable and gorgeous. The checking of the nitrocellulose is beautiful. I actually prefer a hard tail. Nice find!

Lovely! It has that quintessential upper midrange bark of a classic maple board Strat.

Thanks,Mathew. Loving it

Cool one! Love to see the following deassemble video 👏🏼

Man your playing is always incredible. Every time I listen to you play it holds me in a trance! So nice ✌🏼👌🏼

What a cool guitar, WOW! what a sound 👍

Great find Matthew, that's a keeper!

Sounds awesome!! I really like your Strat tones.... to me not a lot of people have good strattones.

I never tried a hardtail, but I think the great cavity inside the trad Strat impacts on the way the thing behaves when you plug it in.. Even when you block the trem.. It just has a different touch sensitivity, maybe its bollocks but I think said cavity (people are surprised 1st time they see a Strat body senza plastico, if you will allow.. Cool demo as ever. Nice one Matthew! 🌟🎶👍

just wonderful tone!

Beautiful guitar Matt! And I absolutely love the new single video! Keep pickin’…

Great video. Thanks for the work.

That thing is oozing mojo and barking out SRV tones that I've never heard from your playing. What a treat in so many ways.

Thru your cookin' amp, that sounds phenomenal, man! It looks so rad, too! The way it "relicc'ed"...so great - the checking ..and the forearm.wear thru patch....you got a good 'un. And the hard tail is ALL gravy to be, man! Strat Trems are barely worth the squeeze.. Getting that stronger toan when you hammer-strum it, the Toaan is noticeable...it's the first thing I noticed - before I knew it was a hardtail. Fkn GLORIOUS, lad! 'Grats. 🤘

Awesome guitar! Cant wait to see your next video!

Absolutely amazing!

Another amazing score, beautiful guitar

Love your vids, and your playing, hardtail starts rule, being lefty I started building my own strat and teles vintage spec . Wish you much luck finding these gems

Boy, that guitar sounds SO sweet. Who even needs more than three pickup positions? Beautifully full, round tonality in each position. Rgds.

Smooth like butter, Sweet like honey. Thanks for making my day. I can't wait to get a full taste of your music when you release a full album of songs. Bless you.
