Wow! What a coincidence. I have known the man you bought that guitar from for almost 20 years. Dave Sheppard, born and raised in Cowtown. Has been in a rock band of some sort since he was 15. Music has been his life he will tell you. And at 71 or 72 years old is still staying pretty busy with 3 or 4 bands he plays in. He can flat tear it up and one of the best slide players I have ever heard in my life. I'm talking up there with Duane and Dicky.
I gotta say as a Marshall man myself I'm stoked to watch the video of your Marshall rig. That cab is awesome in all the right ways. That jazzmaster kicks ass by the way. Great video.
He didn’t stumble on it. Somebody has contacted him to let him know they have something he is interested in. No one drives for hour on the off chance they might have something you’ll like…
Thats how I remember music stores looking before the guitar center days, it was always like a treasure hunt in the store, even the owner didnt know how much stuff he had, he'd be like go ahead and poke around and im looking through dusty boxes of junk and finding old vintage pedals and other things and the prices were not insane yet, around 1981 or so until 1992 that was the sweet spot era for finding great gear out in the wild, nowdays its like going to some sterile soul less crap show
I know what you say. I don't care much about vintage stuff anymore. Its too pricey AND too appreciated by all the rack people that didn't give shit about it back then.
Love it! I used to hunt for vintage about 15 or more years ago. It was a passion and an obsession. So much fun and I paid off half the mortgage with the guitars. Have been itching to get back into it.
I'll take it! ...that got me! 😂👌🏼 Such a great (and funny) moment. And as always, it was a pleasure to watch and hear those beautiful Fender tones! Good luck, and keep going! 🪐🪐🪐
I can’t believe how amazing those tones are on that guitar when you played it. I cant imagine it sounding any more kick ass if you raise that pick up. It had a unique kick ass sound. Killer guitar. Great find for you man congrats
I just sold my 65 jazz master . Mine was a sept ‘65 bound and dot like yours. Except mine was Olympic white with a matching headstock. The blonde and sunburst were the only colors without matching headstock that year. The blondes a pretty rare, nice score congrats
That water leak in that store is extremely concerning. They should have been on top of that situation immediately, closing shop til it's fixed asap. Standing water is bad for a guitar shop. Humidity kills guitars, and electronics.
I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say he knows, and it's a money issue. Both in terms of the fix itself, and the loss in potential revenue from closing until it's done. Sometimes these old buildings make what should be a simple fix into a real quagmire.
It seems to me that either more Jazzmasters were bought new, played a few times, then put in a closet, OR Jazzmaster owners gave their guitars better care back in the day than other guitar types, because so many closet versions are found today.
Remember: it's not that the offsets were an abject mistake at the time because Leo chronically misread both the surf musician (too poor!) and jazz musician (too wedded to their over-grown acoustic jazz boxes...) - it's just that Leo was thirty years ahead of his time with those designs...
I love these videos .... Vicariously Feeds my GAS without me having to spend a fortune. Thanks. That store is a treasure.... too bad i live so far away.
I had a Legend Rock "N" Roll 50 that had an oak cabinet. It was very heavy. The speakers in it were terrible until I replaced them with a better version of Celestion speaker. I sold it for $600 cdn on reverb. I still have the old speaker mounted in a cabinet that I haven't used in a very long time.
I think a Marshall setup would really compliment your Fender amps. I'm currently using an old 50W Marshall with a 2x12' along since my '70s Fender Twin Reverb, I feel I've got the best of both, and playing through them together is glorious. Great find on the Cab and Ash JM.
Matt buying an ultra rare super vintage guitar in a case in pretty nice condition and chucks it in the back of the van like he's leaving a punk show. You, sir, are a quintessential guitar player and I love what you do, and this just certifies how legitimate you are.
This is what I love about bricks-and-mortar retail. No, it's not the giant conglomo chain stores I love - it's the niche shops that have been around for years (and still have the weird stuff covered in dust on the shelves out back from like 1982 to prove it.)
honestly i think that's the best functioning instrument I've ever seen you show me so far...usually they're some work to get a heartbeat up to show us, this fellow Just Works(TM).
This is awesome. Your playing is getting really incredible and I always love to hear it. It would be incredible to hear you play through an old Marshall! I think you could do it justice better than most people nowadays
One of the guitars that I first learned how to play blues on, was a fender bullet. We had one in a random music room at school. It’s classically an 80s country music guitar, but i loved it. It felt so good to play.
What a gorgeous guitar! You, my friend are one lucky dog to find such a cool guitar. Sounds incredible. I love the hi-fi quality of jazz master pickups
Very nice find bro ! I had a similar one back in 1981-82, then I sold it in '83 to buy my '71 black strat I still own ! it was certainly sunburst at first but natural refin, same specific period with binding and still dots, same logo but full large headstock, stamp date was 13DEC65B, and serial was 116204 with the "F". Congrats, yours is very cool, love white jazzmasters. Cheers from France.
2 very cool pieces of gear! Kudos! Hope to see the guitar in future videos and can`t wait to hear you play through that "Marshall rig " you mentioned - is that for a specific project? Maybe a new record...?
Great video! (as always) Could you make a video comparison between a vintage fender Stratocaster and a prs Silver sky? It would be awesome to see a comparison between two models from the first years of production of both guitars, 1954 and 2018
It's been a while since I've been following your channel. And I love it. I also got the curiosity to listen to your music on Spotify. And damn! I loved Amy and Reflection 👍
Matthew thanks for another great video. When you were in that shop, you came across a Legend basket weave half stack. Back in the 80’s I owned a 50 watt half stack and it was fantastic! I know you are busy, but spend a few minutes and look into them. I think you will like what you find!! Cheers!
Nice! In the 80’s & 90’s I had a lake Placid Blue one with blue head stock. Also had a basket cab like that with a 100-watt 69 Super-lead on top… miss them.
I love that it has the dot inlays. I never liked the newer block inlays on a Jazzmaster. Personally, if it were my guitar I wouldn't change a thing about the finish. I'd just raise that bridge pickup and give it a proper setup.
Back in April I made a point of ubering cross town looking for the theoretical great white elephant long lost guitar. I had high hopes for this store. The majorIty of their stock looked like Seattle pawn shop early 90s but minus all the chainsaws and stuff. All the good guitars were positioned way too high up to get at or was sitting unpriced and a dude on his phone was not intrereted in selling anything or even in talking to me. (I didn't even get see out the back). The tragedy is I came all the way from New Zealand to see this. My dissapointment was immeasurable. Good on you Matthew for getting a proper result here. That's tenacity.
I really enjoy your video’s. I’m here in Ardmore. I play for the worship team here at Generations church. You may know Justin Logan up there in the city. I have played music with him. I love your playing. Would love to hear your band someday. Thanks for the great video, Johnnie
I had one of those Legend Oak amps. Mine was a combo Rock n Roll 50 I think. Had a Black Widow Speaker. It was a Hybrid Type Amp. Looked a lot better than it sounded if I remember right. Had a wicker grill. Nice looking amp. Thanks for the great videos!!
I used have a Mustang that sounded like that and same color ways too. Got it at a pawn shop for $200. Gave it to my roommate when I left town. Great action.
Have watched your videos for a while from Ohio,,you are a very talented gutiar player,,enjoy your liking VINTAGE repairs,,they sound so smooth,,till the next 1,,Crip
Locals need to keep that guitar store in business because it’s an absolute relic as far as music stores go!
Next time I'm up that way, I'll be going in to have a look. I like the vibe. Old school vibe ...
In this episode of Hoarders...
any store that still has sheet music needs to be treasured on basic principles
As a FW lifer, I can confidently say this store is pretty bad. Lol
For what it's worth, it did feel like a time machine and it was a fun experience.
Wow! What a coincidence. I have known the man you bought that guitar from for almost 20 years. Dave Sheppard, born and raised in Cowtown. Has been in a rock band of some sort since he was 15. Music has been his life he will tell you. And at 71 or 72 years old is still staying pretty busy with 3 or 4 bands he plays in. He can flat tear it up and one of the best slide players I have ever heard in my life. I'm talking up there with Duane and Dicky.
Time for a new series! Walking around ma and pa shops looking for gear!
Looking forward to the next episode about this guitar.
On the way🤘🏻✌🏻
My first guitar was a 62 jazzmaster, I still have. I wanted a Les Paul, but I got what my single mom could afford. It was $125 in 1972
Love my documented ‘62 with OHSC ❤️. I am thankful and blessed to have had this come across my path.
That was a lot of money in '72
A couple of weeks wages… about $2k in todays money
It would’ve been great to know how much he paid for the cab and the guitar.
Don’t fix the finish, it’s perfectly reliced as is!
Probably can't be fixed anyhow.
"I'll take it." The Jazz Master goes to the Master guitarist!
Where it belongs!
yeah------that was a really good "I'll take it"
That removed sticker outline on the back is one of the old Music Man store window stickers.
👍
You might be right!
If ever a guitar had Matthew Scott written all over it......
I gotta say as a Marshall man myself I'm stoked to watch the video of your Marshall rig. That cab is awesome in all the right ways. That jazzmaster kicks ass by the way. Great video.
Guitar stores like that simply don’t exist in England. I would love to stumble into somewhere like that… ❤
He didn’t stumble on it. Somebody has contacted him to let him know they have something he is interested in. No one drives for hour on the off chance they might have something you’ll like…
@@linesy77he may not have but surly somebody has👍
@@linesy77 he didn't say matthew stumbled on it, he said he would love to stumble on one like it.
Congratulations…that last chord you played right before you said “I’ll take it” was so sweet! Looking forward to the setup !
Thanks for taking us along for the ride!
Thats how I remember music stores looking before the guitar center days, it was always like a treasure hunt in the store, even the owner didnt know how much stuff he had, he'd be like go ahead and poke around and im looking through dusty boxes of junk and finding old vintage pedals and other things and the prices were not insane yet, around 1981 or so until 1992 that was the sweet spot era for finding great gear out in the wild, nowdays its like going to some sterile soul less crap show
I know what you say. I don't care much about vintage stuff anymore. Its too pricey AND too appreciated by all the rack people that didn't give shit about it back then.
Zoo music is not the only throwback guitar store we got, Competition Music is in a little better shape in a much worse part of town.
Love it! I used to hunt for vintage about 15 or more years ago. It was a passion and an obsession. So much fun and I paid off half the mortgage with the guitars. Have been itching to get back into it.
Nice score! Always fun watching you pick up vintage gear. Thanks for sharing!
I'll take it! ...that got me! 😂👌🏼 Such a great (and funny) moment.
And as always, it was a pleasure to watch and hear those beautiful Fender tones!
Good luck, and keep going! 🪐🪐🪐

What I like about Matt is that he always get to the point. Fantastic!!
Damn nice patina on that Fender! Doesn’t sound bad either! “I’ll take it!” Yes sir! So would I!!! Congratulations Matthew on another brilliant find!
Dude, MOLD.!!
That water leak in that store is extremely concerning. They should have been on top of that situation immediately, closing shop til it's fixed asap. Standing water is bad for a guitar shop. Humidity kills guitars, and electronics.
It’s been there forever lol
ya don't say? wonder if the owner knows!
Yeah, its had that leaky roof for like… 20 years 😂
I'm just gonna go out on a limb and say he knows, and it's a money issue. Both in terms of the fix itself, and the loss in potential revenue from closing until it's done. Sometimes these old buildings make what should be a simple fix into a real quagmire.
It’s funny how humidity can also be desirable for a guitar too!
Man. What a gem. Congrats baddy.
I haven't been in a music store like that for many years, either.
the trucks just made me respect you even more if thats possible.
It seems to me that either more Jazzmasters were bought new, played a few times, then put in a closet, OR Jazzmaster owners gave their guitars better care back in the day than other guitar types, because so many closet versions are found today.

"Wherever you are, playing your sound is amazing🎉🎉
I love these videos ....
Vicariously Feeds my GAS without me having to spend a fortune.
Thanks.
That store is a treasure.... too bad i live so far away.
Great find Matt. That store is incredible.
Sounds great even pre-setup! Nice find!!
Love the face that you made just before saying "I'll take it" and turning off the amp. So satisfying.
I like how the "road trip music" is Matthew's! Works for me...
1:00 Oooooh a Legend amp! I owned a combo amp from Legend, years ago. They were made in Syracuse NY decades ago. Great amp!!!
me too they were loud! lucus flowers has a few videos on them he and his dad collect them
Well if Billy Gibbons used it on Eliminator it is good enough for me😉
I had a Legend Rock "N" Roll 50 that had an oak cabinet. It was very heavy. The speakers in it were terrible until I replaced them with a better version of Celestion speaker. I sold it for $600 cdn on reverb. I still have the old speaker mounted in a cabinet that I haven't used in a very long time.

Matt buying an ultra rare super vintage guitar in a case in pretty nice condition and chucks it in the back of the van like he's leaving a punk show. You, sir, are a quintessential guitar player and I love what you do, and this just certifies how legitimate you are.
Wow! That guitar is beautiful! It must feel amazing to play!
I grew up going to that shop. Looks exactly the same from 20+ years ago.
Sick guitar! Can’t wait to see you get it in order and take it for a rip!
This is what I love about bricks-and-mortar retail. No, it's not the giant conglomo chain stores I love - it's the niche shops that have been around for years (and still have the weird stuff covered in dust on the shelves out back from like 1982 to prove it.)
Hell yeah keep these videos comin’!!! 🔥🔥🔥
the Jazzmasters were often overlooked in the vintage market deal . might be a keeper.
I love everything about that store. From the scope and maze like layout to the old guy shuffling about in the background.
honestly i think that's the best functioning instrument I've ever seen you show me so far...usually they're some work to get a heartbeat up to show us, this fellow Just Works(TM).
Oldschool guitars shop are the best !
Great find, I can't wait to see the jazzmaster fully restored
I really like this video format and hope you do more content like this.
The intonation steadyness and playable pushback already present in that state is insane! 😵💫
I got the same 1965 Jazzmaster with binding ,still rocking with me
This is awesome. Your playing is getting really incredible and I always love to hear it. It would be incredible to hear you play through an old Marshall! I think you could do it justice better than most people nowadays
Nice poker face when you said I'll take it, nice find, I can't wait to hear it all set up.
That Jazzmaster looks so sweet. Love the old blonde ones.
I adore music stores just like that.
One of the guitars that I first learned how to play blues on, was a fender bullet. We had one in a random music room at school. It’s classically an 80s country music guitar, but i loved it. It felt so good to play.
Awesome find man! Can't wait to really hear it.
I’ve got a 1958 strat, untouched, looking for buyers.comes with a 1962 super amp. 76 yrs old time to pass it on!
Shoot me an email matthewscottlive@gmail.com
Looks like a great find. Can’t wait to see more.
What a gorgeous guitar! You, my friend are one lucky dog to find such a cool guitar. Sounds incredible. I love the hi-fi quality of jazz master pickups
Very nice find bro ! I had a similar one back in 1981-82, then I sold it in '83 to buy my '71 black strat I still own !
it was certainly sunburst at first but natural refin, same specific period with binding and still dots, same logo but full large headstock, stamp date was 13DEC65B, and serial was 116204 with the "F". Congrats, yours is very cool, love white jazzmasters. Cheers from France.
Legend amps…. I owned one …. Outstanding locally made amp from Syracuse NY
Nice Matt!
Some cool treasures found for sure!
Congrats for this beautiful guitar, sounds nice. Waiting for the next video on this guitar 👍
Jazzmasters are so beautiful sounding
The store was amazing. There's an old radio/tv repair shop in my town that looks the same. Like a trip to the past. 👍
Look forward to seeing the updates on this!
Dig your vintage trucks and love your roadtrips.❤
2 very cool pieces of gear! Kudos! Hope to see the guitar in future videos and can`t wait to hear you play through that "Marshall rig " you mentioned - is that for a specific project? Maybe a new record...?

i love jazzmsters man and people who plays and also loves them are a friend!! cool playing and absolutely a stunning piece of gear
Very cool guitar and store ! Looking forward to seeing the video on it
I got the very same one, blond with binding. Natural headstock… I really love it!
Glad you didn't bust the buckle off the guitar case tossing that Marshall cab in the van!
I remember when that was Bruce Music Company. My original 74 twin reverb was repaired in that very store and still has the repair tag.
I love the guitar . I would leave the finish like it is . I think it looks awesome .
enjoyed seeing you out and about on the hunt.
Looks great, cool video
you should have bought that Legend!! I had that exact guitar, year and color. When you pulled it from the case my heart stopped.
that guitar has a beautiful voice. I know you were the one playing it, but it did have that mojo tone.
Love these road trip videos!
asked bro to tell you a story and then played over his whole story 😢
The thumbnail says "is it real?" And then the only part were he seems to ask about it he just noodles, so weird
The story was heard just fine in the room but not really on camera. Spoiler alert there really was no story to the guitar. Just a trade deal.
You weren't there either and the video is edited to hard for you to really know.
Nice 60's tort guard, dots & binding. What a beauty!🤤🤤🤤
That is one great sounding guitar!!!
Finally new video!!! Best thing that could happen today😂😅
Great camera work btw.
Matthew thanks for another great video. When you were in that shop, you came across a Legend basket weave half stack. Back in the 80’s I owned a 50 watt half stack and it was fantastic! I know you are busy, but spend a few minutes and look into them. I think you will like what you find!! Cheers!

Binding with the dot inlays is transitional late mid to late 65, Jazzmasters are great, Congrats.
What a cool ass store. I would love to dig around in there. I bet there's some amazing stuff
I own a Legend Rock N Roll 50 amp and it’s phenomenal! Loudest 50 watts you’ll ever hear! ZZ Top used it on one of their albums.
Always some cool guitars and tasty licks on your videos Matthew. Thanks
I really enjoy your video’s. I’m here in Ardmore. I play for the worship team here at Generations church. You may know Justin Logan up there in the city. I have played music with him. I love your playing. Would love to hear your band someday. Thanks for the great video, Johnnie
Chicago Music Exchange posted a video recently with a bunch of Marshalls they got from a Colorado collector. I'm sure they have a Super Lead for you.
Guitar safari in Texas….. lovely 😊
Loved every second of this video
Sweet find man! you make it sound smokin' as is ;)
I had one of those Legend Oak amps. Mine was a combo Rock n Roll 50 I think. Had a Black Widow Speaker. It was a Hybrid Type Amp. Looked a lot better than it sounded if I remember right. Had a wicker grill. Nice looking amp. Thanks for the great videos!!
cool both are extremely vibey... Looks like a jumbo re-fret. Nice tort guard as is for the typical 65/ 66 guards...
I used have a Mustang that sounded like that and same color ways too. Got it at a pawn shop for $200. Gave it to my roommate when I left town. Great action.
