Marty Stuart plays killer B-bender Telecaster solo on "Get Back to the Country" 

That's the late Clarence White's telecaster. This particular guitar is the original B-bender body that White and Gene Parsons invented. The body is comprised of two telecaster bodies glued together to accomodate the large routing cavity required to contain all the mechanical parts for the B-bender device which was crudimentary for the time. That's why the guitar is twice as thick as a regular Fender Telecaster. It's the size of an acoustic guitar with an electric guitar neck.

Do not underestimate these country players. They are incredible.

This must be an old post. Because Marty is a country music hall of fame member for those who don’t know. He is also the closest thing to a museum curator of all things country music. He is the protector of country music. An absolute legend!

Man he sure can play. That tele sounds amazing

That guitar was destined for greatness, it's history is insane

Marty is an amazing player and has quite a history. His band the Fabulous Superlatives are an A-Team of country musicians that you all should check out. Rave on.

The White bender lives, and in the best possible hands.

That is Clarence White’s B-Bender guitar that Marty’s playing. Clarence’s wife sold it to him. Clarence White was a guitar player & helped pioneer the country rock sound back in the late 1960s & early to mid 1970s. He also played with the Byrds from 1968 through 1973.

That Tele is absolutely beautiful.

Clarence White's b bender telecaster

Went to see Marty and the Superlatives earlier this year; they're still knocking it out of the park.

He was a fucking master, and still reigns as a fucking master. And this happened in the mid eighties. Through a Twin Reverb all the way up. Think about it. He still has a remarkable career playing country ass Country Music. Back then mullets were cool.

Back in 1997 I drove my semi on tour with Hank Jr., Travis Tritt and Jo Dee Messina. We hauled Marty's Tennessee Treasures 3 trailer rolling museum to the shows. Marty wasn't there but there was some cool stuff in those trailers. An Elvis jumpsuit (Fat Elvis I think), Buck Owens' red, white and blue acoustic guitar and the handwritten first draft of "Blue Suede Shoes" (that was too f'n cool!) Those are what stand out in my memory 26 years later. Marty sure can burn that Tele!🎸

Damn! 💥 Way underrated guitar player.

The perfect combination, Telecaster and a vintage Fender amp. Also a great picker.

I think Clarence would be pleased that Marty has his old guitar. Why isn't Marty bigger than he is? The guy is hugely talented and can do it all: write, sing, play, dance, all the while charming you with stories. He should be a big as anyone in Nashville. Bigger!

Mid 90s was the last of years real country music being produced and put out on radio. As a whole

I mixed monitors for this line up of the band a couple times and many times for Marty after.

I've said it before and I'll say it again....national treasure

He can play any music he likes. Fantastic guitarist.

Clarence White's guitar I think?

He is great then and great today

Never heard of him but DAMN - Crazy outfits - like country KISS.

Geez. I knew he had talent, but picking up the guitar has got me taking a close look at him. Beautiful. Thinking about getting a Telecaster. Love the Twang.

so cool, very precise and that Tele sounds amazing..

Those country musicians are no joke

This concert was at Mullet Creek, Mississippi. At that venue there was a business in the front and a party in the back.

I love Marty Stuart!!!

I would LOVE to find Marty's full set from this appearance at Farm Aid!

Mullet Summer 1993 and for the bass player, Skullet Summer 1993

Great performance. That guitar was the PROTOTYPE for sure!

Marty killing it !

Marty's led an incredible life. The first two records he ever bought were by Lester Flatt and Johnny Cash. His first two professional gigs were playing for first Lester Flatt, and later Johnny Cash. After seeing singer Connie Smith at a State Fair performance, 14 year old Marty begged his mother to take him backstage to meet her. He told her someday he would marry her, which he did years later. Theres much more detail in all of this but the man is living proof of what humans can do if they want.

One of the greatest mullets in history

I think Marty quotes Hendrix from "Hey Joe" in the very last bit of his solo as he's facing the bassist.

One of these days I would love to see Marty perhaps when he's done touring put this guitar along with other memorabilia on loan to the different Halls of fame of which Clarence is recognized and Marty is recognized. When my cousin Susie sold Marty the guitar for I think $1,450 in 1980 not too long before her own death she did so hoping that Marty would elevate the prestige and pedigree of the museum worthy prototype Clarence along with drummer Gene Parsons had created. I think she and Clarence both would be proud to see all the places the guitar has been and how well it still sounds over fifty years since being in the hands of it's original owner and co-creator. God Bless and Thanks for reading.

I don't like country music even a little. That said, any time Marty is on TV or the radio, I'm in. He's an exceptional player.

Back when country musicians dressed like goth magicians.

Very underated Git Player

These guys are way ahead of their time. The mullets are actually coming back in fashion.

So much 80’s in one video.

In those costumes they are the country version of Kiss.

He's also a masterful mandolin player.

Met Marty Stuart in my dad's studio in Burbank in 1989 while my dad was interviewing him at KLAC. Love teles. Got a beautiful blue one, bought in Paris and waljed back with it for an hour to my hotel in the pouring rain since a strike filling left no cabs available. Why am I telling you this? Ok, so yeah great guitar player as most country don't get credit for even if I don't care for the genre.

First time I saw Marty live was a package show with Leroy Parnell, Grand Junction Co. 1988 I think. Don't remember who else was there 🤔. Anyway, that's two Cat's that can PLAY THE GUITAR! fast forward 30 some yrs. It's interesting the people ( in the comment section) that don't remember "Mullits"& don't know much about Marty Stewart! Read up on him a bit. Incredibly talented man, and the life he's LIVED😮

Neil Young tune. He played this with the Stray Gators.

That skullet is chefs kiss

Marty owns the original B-bender. Wonder if that’s it.

Iconic

That's MY idea o real Country Music.😎😛😀😄

Hair Country at it's finest. Keep shreddin', Marty.

Apparently this was just an impromptu jam at a “World’s Worst Haircut” competition...

That solo is almost as great as that outfit and haircut. Dude's like, "I'm going out there in my Three Amigos Jazzercize ensemble and no one can stop me!"

I think I’d vote Marty for president

Really good stuff

The Liberace of country music.

Guitar aside what was with his dancing? He should watch Dwight Yokum.

Schooled by Flat and Scruggs in bluegrass music. He is truly a master musician much like Roy Clark. Marty can play most musical instruments.

Great cover of a Neil Young classic.

My guy at the end with the sunglasses needed a stage coach to get all those women back to his crib.

He is amazing so handsome

Wasn’t this tune originally written by Neil Young? Or maybe Young covered it? - I’ll have to check it out , but I know I saw NY play it on Austin City Limits , back in the late 80’s

The best kind

I wish they bring back the mullet in country

Good thing there was no drag show ban back then. Otherwise, Marty would have been asking for trouble.

This song has the overtones of an old Rolling Stones song, It's all over now, 1964.

Great SOund!!!

The mullet never dies...

The scullit is making a comeback.🎉🎉

Why does Marty were the neck scarves now?

The dance lol look how high he's throwing his feet up then his head doing that big swish hahahah

Mullets to the left of me, mullets to the right, stuck in the 90s with you.

crazy mullets on all these guys

Fun stuff

Those damn dual fender twins... i can just tell from the audio that those things were louder than faaahhhhhhhhk ... i use a super for outdoor gigs and it is COOKIN' but at least i angle it up😂

Feel like I’ve smashed a bottle of bourbon after this!

All the country folk used to dress and do their hair like Marty back in the day. Your dad would be like “noooope, you go back inside and come out with some moon boots and tights boy! Tease that mullet while you’re in there and act like a damned man!”

This was about 1991. Mullets were a thing then. Marty is a killer guitar player.

When mullets ruled the day.

b bendin love gun

So goos

I normally can't stand country music but I am curious as to how to play it.

It's that O'Connor?

Neil Young composition from his Old Ways album. A country album that included Waylon and Willie. Oh and Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives is the best country band in the world.

Marty Stuart is a great picker! 🤠🇺🇸🇮🇱

The most epic hair band

Marty's a God

When the mullet ruled!

Bass player wins worst Mullet contest out of the bunch.

That costume is channeling Blackie Lawless.

Holy mullet Batman!

Is he wearing Steve Vai's outfit from the 'Passion & Warfare" tour?

Great playing. The visuals though......

Had to close my eyes and just listen, much better that way

Always wear protective goggles when performing next to a fiddle play!

Is there a more well-mulletted band on earth than this one?

So I told you guys to put on cowboy hats.

Marty's hair should be in the hall of fame 🏆

Mulletastic.

No neck scarf???
