Came for the guitar and stayed for the guitar player. Amazing!
Great guitar, great player, no talking,... just a lot of great tone and a guy that knows his way around the fretboard and that guitar!
In 1959, I started learning guitar on my brother's electric archtop Harmony. He traded that for a 1960 Jazzmaster, which I jumped on with both big feet. Christmas of 1963, my just-divorced and BROKE, father, gave me my very first guitar ... a 1954 Stratocaster. I too, have one of these wonderful silverfaced Deluxe Reverbs (a 1977). I put in a blackface-sized OT and made a few other changes, but that amp is INCREDIBLE! Just like this one. I must say, whatever reverb this gentleman is running through, is quite spectacular!
Do you still have the strat ?
@@keithclark486probably a no and with sadness. Don’t regret. Enjoy you had a life experience getting the first strat and getting to play it and learn ❤️
Tobias really seems to bond with the vintage Strats the most.
this man doesn't care what he plays, he's fantastic
That is seriously some of the most insane guitar playing I have heard. Just wow!!! The Strat sounds nice too
I don't think I've heard a tone that I like more. Always been a Strat guy especially at the neck pickup. This vintage Strat really outshine current production.
This is my favorite Tobias jam. Such beautiful playing and phrasing! Love albatross! I'm off to listen to Peter Green now
Had a 1994 Reissue of a ‘54 Strat. A Limited Edition model. One of 1994 made of them. I had put a set of Van Zandt True Vintage pickups in it.
At the time I was playing it though a ‘69 Dlx Rvb with a Jensen Alnico spkr. I’ll be darned if it didn’t sound like this one here.
Only one thing, I certainly didn’t have the skills that Tobias here has presented.
The only guitar I ever regreted selling 😢
This is all I want to do. Get good and sit in my room playing alone like this.
Magic gear for a magic player. Simply beautiful!
54-55 strats have such a unique sound
Sehr geehrter Herr Hoffmann,
jetzt sitze ich schon wieder seit Stunden vor dem Rechner und höre Ihnen zu anstatt meine eigenen, bescheidenen Fähigkeiten an der Gitarre zu verbessern. Und ich bereue keine Sekunde! Sie machen das grossartig und bereichern Ihre Zuhörer immens. Sowohl mit Ihrem Spiel als auch mit Ihrer Persönlichkeit / Mimik. Das macht einfach grossen Spass und wenn ich noch mal eine Gitarre brauche fahre ich gerne vom Rheinland nach Oldenburg um mich bei Vintage Guitar umzusehen. Bitte Weiter so!

This is the best vintage guitar and amp demo channel on UA-cam in my humble opinion
Agree!
Everything is just absolutely wonderful here. Thank you.
I could attend live concerts of this everyday 😊
This is so good it deserves millions of views
Beautiful playing
@L Smith I consider myself a connoisseur of fine UA-cam guitar music 🎸
A great guitarist!
I have a '76 Deluxe Reverb that sounds just like this one! Fantastic playing!
oooohhhhh soooo wonderfullllllllllll
A so great guitar must be played just with a little reverb and with magic hands
OMG.. That tone.. So Sweet!
Incredible playing, heaven fender tone! Just amazing!
just brilliant playing & beautiful touch to the whammy bar... 👌
Wow, I think I´m in love with this guitar, which surely is a result of Mr. Hoffmann´s performance.
Albatros, great arrangement!
Oh well ! Great playing and touch on such a classic song and guitar !
Gorgeous playing!
Incredible. Just incredible 🤩
Ich bin stark beeindruckt, auf der Suche nach Strat 54 kommt Peter Green mit Albatross und so schön und meisterhaft interpretiert👌👌👌
Getting good tone from a strat can be tricky but when you do it’s 🎯 and this guy nails it
Thanks.
Beautiful! 😊
amazing and beautiful!
That was some incredible playing! It’s rare that I’m truly inspired by a guitarist but Tobias has done it 😅
Incredible playing. Just beautiful.
Just beatiful!
Wow, you are such a great player
"All the guitar's a stage, the playing's the thing"- William Stratospeare 🤗
Not all oldie strats are comparably good AS instruments of music.
Strikingly beautiful? To me yes, all of them in whatever condition today.
Today a fair (unfair?) number of comparative then-junk duds AS INSTRUMENTS OF MUSIC, are now sold as " Vintage Mint, kept in a closet for decades!"...and they ain't lyin'!🙄
My 66 year-old lifetime collector of Stratopinions thought?
Wonderful guitar. Wonderful artistry. Thank you SO much.
Awesome. How many items from 1954 are superior in all respects to what can be purchased new, today?
So good, so much talent!
Magnifico!
That tone. It's haunts my dreams.
What a great player you are Tobias ! Very Inspiring and the strat is fabulous under your fingers :)
Wonderful playing. Really can hear what makes those old Strats so special.
Tobias! Man, that’s some of the most emotive and brilliant playing I’ve seen on the old UA-cams! Cheers 🍻
Wonderful musician, such a connection to these instruments he demonstrates, I suspect a great deal of this is in his hands alone.
Well damn that was amazing!
Тобиас Вы гениий гитарного звука!
Wow. I love 💘 that guitar and I would marry it if I could. You are soooooo lucky 🍀. 👍☮️🌞🎸❤️
Amazing sound and playing!
That was sublime!
Bravissimo Tobias🤟🎸
So schön gespielt. Vielen Dank!
Sounds like Eric Johnson tones. Just beautiful
Even looks like him
Well that’s just about as good as anything ever was.
This level of expression I only saw by watching guitar player Jack Pearson. Man and the istrument become one. Pure art. Bravo!
Fantastic player . Great demo.
Best guitar demo I've seen. I do want Tobias to put on some glasses, though.
Beautiful guitar and great performance, enjoyed the video!
The best Strat sound ever!
Yeah, what Hy Cus said
I used a '57 reissue through a '70 Super Reverb for 15 years - miss 'em both...
I wrap plumber's tape (ptfe tape) around the thread of the wang bar so it's quiet and tighter...
The guitar sounds absolutely wonderful. But the thing I have to wonder about is just how much tat gorgeous tone, and especially the crystalline top end, would have been audible with the state of amplifiers, and especially speakers, in 1954. Maybe Leo et al. would have been in a position to hear it, during development, but what of the typical purchaser of a Strat? Would their likely rig have been able to frame the sound of the instrument so beautifully? I don't know one way or the other, but we ARE hearing this guitar under conceivably the most favorable conditions.
incredible
The guitar is nice, but that playing is sublime
Beautiful!!!! and excellent as a demo too : ) Would really love how those pickups read (ohms and if possible Henries) 🙏🏼
Awesome
lindo demais
I thought it was Duane Denison .... i clicked super fast
Impressed, and not by the guitar 😲
Tobi...machst misch fertisch...man is dat schön....
Duck skin until end....
They should have had you recording on Albatross...
eine neue fender strat klingt mit dem richtigen amp genauso, dafür muss niemand ein vermögen verschleudern
My Squier look the same....
What song is this?
Surely the guitarist and the guitar, together with the amplifier, make the difference, but I would like to know how you can record the guitar so well and naturally live with this approach. My experience is always dignified but not satisfying. Shure SM57, SeV7 etc ... Digi 002, Mac always give me a dark, dull result. The plugins are much more convincing. Can you suggest me what your recovery is n' how can it be so beautiful? Thank you 😀
it‘s Eric Johnson owned guitar .

Love Albatross - here destroyed with ego jazzification.... yak
He's a great musician. However the crap speakers I have didn't pick up a whole bunch of the softer notes he was playing.n
I’d put a Floyd rose on it and throw in some EMG’s !!!!
Uugh
Sunburst finishes are for grampa’s guitar. This guitar needs a “vintage white” refin with a nice relic job to give it a road worn look.
Hahaha!!
1,5 Meter vom Amp weg, dann brummt/sirrt sie auch nicht mehr…
89000 what are you guys even thinking....:D thats ridiculous...i mean i know the prices...this is only possible because you know there are just not so many here in germany...good luck selling that one...but wouldnt 30-40 k have been enough? i predict this is gonna be shipped away, no one on the german guitar market is liquid enough for your asking price...playing was nice, some crunsh would have been so nice
you're not gonna get that tone with a helix folks. these are real single coil pickups into a real tube amplifier
Line 6 Spyder amps nail this sweet tone.

My ULTIMATE Guitar Dream:
To Meet A Sweet Little Old Lady Who's Husband Started Learning Guitar & Got Frustrated, Threw It In The Closet For 68 Years, Finds It & "Just Want To Clear Out All This Old Stuff...... Give Me A Couple Of Bucks & It's YOURS!". 😃
So you dream of exploiting little old ladies? SMH.
Could you in good conscience?
I’ve played that scenario…. I see myself buying it for a pittance- selling to a reputable dealer and buying a suitable affordable but awesome custom shop and returning the $ balance to the widow

Admirable Point, Sir.! Considering .... No, I Couldn't In Good Conscience From The Standpoint Of Taking Advantage Of Anyone Who May Not Realize The Value. I Stand Corrected & Thank You For Pointing That Out!
It seems Julian Assange has used his time in custody well.
This is fraudulent!! No matter how much money do I spend on a vintage guitar, I will never play like Tobias. So don´t try to fool me hahaha
