I have a 1956 Les Paul Special, hands down the best sounding Les Paul i've ever owned. I've had many many other vintage ones as well. 56 was a great year for them.

Just had the pleasure of playing your Strat Martin........ Mmmmmm! WOW! What can i say! What a fantastic guitar and thank you! :) XXX

Noice!

Anything with Martin is getting watched and liked. I subscribed just to see him play. Don’t even care what guitar it is.

I do not find a 1959 burst to be any more desirable this guitar. Lucky me.

Scratch plate looks out of place to me ? Personal taste I guess .

It's nice to see someone who really appreciates a great guitar. I just bought two juniors, single cut and double cut. The articulation of the P-90 in the bridge is addicting and rolling the tone down fattens it up. I find it makes me concentrate more on playing because I'm not wondering if a different pickup would sound better for a particular passage!

Does Martin have his own channel? I could watch him play all day! Just a fantastic player and personality.

Have that exact guitar, gifted to me from my father in law.

I have a love/hate relationship with Stratocasters. This is precisely how I want a Strat to sound like. So my question would be, on which amp are you playing. Because I’m pretty sure it’s not a Vox or a Marshall. 🤔

Hi Martin,... that Chorus'y sparkly part,... was that your Dimension C again? I just picked up the Waza Craft unit... really enjoying it!! And really enjoying these videos y'all make... y'all really do a great job... sure wouldn't mind a camera on your board so we can see what your doing and what you're stomping on... :-) Blessings to all y'all from Central Texas!! :-)

pedalboard and amp setup video when?

....meaty....😂

Great comparison video but everytime you unplug the guitars I cringe. You're not supposed to unplug the guitar without turning the amp off or putting it on standby or else you'll damage the amp.

every time I see a comparison video where an original vintage takes part it comes down to one thing..... if the vintage guitar is a "good" one it proves to have a defined character that you can't find in any Custom Shop Masterbuilt

I always played Fender strats, but now i almost play on my Vintage guitars! Cheaper but better...... 🎯

What's Martins last name?

Add a pickguard it makes it much easier to play and a bettr guitar.

What was the chorus you were using?

Awesome player and - supposedly - a really nice guy....

Great playing, what chorus are you using 3:00?

The original, by a country mile!

Love the video, but it’s still not a fair fight. What about type of strings and maybe the age difference of the strings on these two guitars? What about the pickup height? Both of these factors would make a massive difference in warmth and “squawk”. I also see a tendency in these kinds of comparisons that when you notice a difference between the old and the new, it’s automatically a win for the old guitar. But is it really better in all playing situations or just different? Also there is a clear case of emotional bias here, it’s Martins dad’s guitar, it will no doubt be the best guitar for him for many other reasons than the sound alone, and I get and respect that, but it has to be taken in to account.

I have owned a 57 reissue built in 1983 (?. May be off a year or two. Not at home.) I bought it at LA Guitar Center for $500 in 1987. Really cool guitar and now part of my family. Sounds magnificent, but of course, have not been able to compare it to a 57 vintage. Be fun to try.

Jaw-droppingly good! 😮 Seeing that '61 Strat being played and the joy it brings, hats off to you sir! No disrespect to the CS Strat, it kicks serious butt too.

I have to prefer the custom one😮😮❤❤

The original sounds a little darker. Like it.

Orange is better clean, yellow better rock. I think orange is muddy.

The vintage one sounds much more resonant and sweet. Most of the time A/B comparisons are not so different, but here the difference is huge!

What a fantastic video have a wonderful weekend ❤😊❤😊❤😊❤😊

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful day also a f antastic weekend ❤😊

WHAT u r doing is Very Special...thus BIG thanx....❤

Martin pointed out an important distinction. With many of the good vintage guitars, you can't really sense the difference in tone through a video recording. They must be experienced in person to really hear/feel the difference.

Should have got the pickups to the same height for a better tone comparison.

Also gotta account for the ebony

Both are terrific, but I reckon the real star of the show is Martin!

Stick yer fingers in yer ears 'n fart, same same but different...great guitars!

Glad to see Martin is back. The man with the right hand punch.

Martin has more chops than yer average butcher

Quickly becoming my new favorite channel! I have a 64 J-45 that I swear nothing can beat. It will have to be pryed from my cold dead hands. Sometimes it's the player. Martin has spent time with that 61 and knows what it can do and it responds to him. Sometimes guitars just "like" certain players. The owner of the shop that sold me the 64 j-45 tells me everytime I see him that he screwed up and should have kept it, and has offered trades, cash, everything - I won't do it. He had a 64 j-50 as well that "just didn't have it" no matter what he did. So to Martin's point. Some vintage guitars were duds. But the good ones? Extremely special. The shop owner I bought it from swears my j-45 didn't sound as good until I bought it and he told me "that guitar must like you". One of the sweetest things anyone's ever said to me!

Hi Martin,... next time have a small screwdriver handy... I would've played with the pup height a little to see if you could get the Custom Shop closer .... 1/2 turn up or down on each side, or one side, of the pup... small variations can make just enough of a difference :-) and I have an AVRI ii and I think it wipes the floor with lots of the Custom Shop guitars lol

Interesting video and comparison. For what it's worth the I prefer the tone of vintage Strat also. That said, I think it's a stretch to say that all vintage will 'categorically sound better' than any Custom Shop instrument. I've played hundreds of custom shop and dozens of vintage and they all vary wildly in tone, playability, weight and so on. Great and no so great in both camps. It would be interesting to hear a rounder sounding custom shop, or even a master built and see if the difference is still so obvious. Great channel thanks for the posts.

When his wife was giving birth to Lennon, he was there next to her playing guitar and singing Here Comes the Son

When this guy started to to play slide in straight tuning i was floored by the way he made it sing

That is one gorgeous looking and sounding guitar Mart. I've always thought you should play a 335 more often .... suits you Sir 🙏

Love the sound of the new one! I prefer the new one!

1:46 What song is this? 🤘🏻😎

Great video! I own a Duesenberg and it is absolutely one of if not the best guitar I have ever played. Stays perfectly in tune even with the Trem which is so smooth. I am wanting to get a new Fantom A series. Hope you guys do a video for one as there’s not much out there yet. Thx

Great guitar players like this guy can make any guitar sound good or better as for the 61 original ...want one...

Lovely, tasteful playing 😊
