I think I found my dream Fender Stratocaster..

My REVERB SHOP:

[handwriting]

Friendship ended with 59 strat. 54 strat is my best friend now.

[stephengrillos]

I love it when actual players get their hands on these instruments...and play them.

[RobertBakerGuitar]

Man that thing is amazing. And your playing is smokin!

[billotten]

Okay. I'm gonna say it. That....was THE best sounding Strat I have ever heard. I listened to the video with my usual headphones on, and each and every nuance of tone, ethereal sound was there. Simply amazing.

[RhettShull]

That guitar is a ringer, great playing as always man!

[JFLABBERVILLE]

YES, you and that guitar are made for each other. What a tone out of that neck pickup. Blown away by you both.

[Sammywhat]

Leo was amazing. What a treat to hear how intonated that thing is... it's a total testimony to his genius. The tones you are getting from this guitar are heavenly. THAT'S what a Strat is supposed to sound like. You're playing is perfect as always!! Nice work, Matthew!! ✌😉🔥

[gregkoelling]

Beautiful Strat and playing. I thoroughly enjoy watching you play. I started in '67 but have lost most of my chops to rheumatoid arthritis. Play like there's no tomorrow, someday it will begin to slowly slip away.

I had the pleasure of dragging the bow across the strings of a real Stradivarius when I was working at a local shop 10 years ago. I dont play the violin, and this particular instrument was in very rough condition, (I found out later that the owner spent over $20, 00 to restore it).
But it was the real deal, the label was dated 1702, and was signed by Signore' Antonio himself. I tuned it to pitch and I heard the sweetest "A" that I ever heard in my life.

So what?
Who cares?

That guitar remimds me of that Stradivarius.
Some instruments just
knock the wind right out of you, and you never forget them, even if you only play them for a few minutes.i

Oh my goodness. This is the sound that made me fall in love with Strats back in the late 80s. They became and are still my favourite guitar. When you get a ‘special’ one there is nothing else like them. So organic and harmonically rich. This has inspired me. I think I have got lost the last few years in technology and modernistic approaches to what a guitar should sound like. THIS is what a guitar should sound like!
Thank you so much Matthew for giving me this reminder.
What a guitar!! 😮

[mbrackmann]

Your playing lately has been unbelievable man. Truly an inspiration to my own playing. Thank you!🙏🏼

[stevemehan]

Sweet mother of pearl … what a totally amazing Strat … sweetest tone I’ve ever heard 😲

[niallmogoescycling]

That’s the best Strat I’ve even heard. That Bridge pickup, slightly over driven is holy grail tone.

[carlsaint]

Ten years gone. So good! Thank you so much for sharing this guitar Matt!

[albertcamlek]

That outro has some zep’s ten years gone vibe. Such a dream tone man!

[caveira]
