Thanks, Matthew. These are fun. As a retired couch potato who's probably old enough to be your grandfather, these trips make it possible for me to go vintage guitar scouting without having to leave the house.
You're doing what I did 50 years ago and the stuff I had now they call vintage lol , for all the young guns starting out that dont have the money for a overpriced tele / strat , buy a fender Road worn series great guitar and focus on learning to play and don't stress about buying a old guitar , its not going to make you a better player
Damn dude, you're such a good player. I wish people like you could have their pick of these kinds of guitars, instead of them being bought and put up on a wall to impress dinner guests.
Ive known Jimmy Wallace since the mid 70's. I bought a new Les Paul Artisan from him in 78' among several others and marshall JMP's. He was a genius for seeing the antique guitar market to come! He sat in Arnold and Morgan music for over decade and bought every early Gibson and Fender he saw there traded in. His collection is massive and the shop is like the showroom to the warehouse full. Great guy as well. He's a beloved local legend here.
I went to Killer Vintage. They were about to close, but they kindly hung around for a few minutes. I played a few guitars and tried a few pedals out. I ended up getting a pedal since they were kind enough to extend the hours by a bit for me as I was on the way to the airport. I enjoyed the experience.
@@ElmarSprong Chris Buck is annoying as hell. He might play very fancy (or as he would call it "posh") it is not very versatile. Always the same fancy, show-off style playing mixed with his annoying posing. He is almost meme-like. Mix that with the fact, that the songs Buck&Evans release are super boring. Meaning really really boring uninspired radio pop-rock. Let me just say this: Buck Evans is the most annoying guitar player on UA-cam. Matt is not only a great and sympathic guitarist, he also is not part of the gear circlejerk involving certain bigger guitar store chains and online retailers....
@@vapporiesat3125 also can't understand what people like so much about his playing. Seems like same little slide into a few bends at once then quick runs into a slow vibrato over and over. Also personality of a 90 year old man
A couple of American Pro Strats among others on the rack, and had bought a '62 Gibson 330 in 1973 in Dallas, then a '68 Gibson 335 in 1974 in Fort Worth, to start this wonderful lifetime journey (oh for those 'affordable to MOST musicians' days) ....yet I'm sitting here playing and watching with a stock $189 Firefly....and happy/mad that it sounds SO good. This singing wood and wire hobby is mischievous!
I just bought an all original 1958 Fender Stratocaster that had been stored in its case in a bedroom closet since 1981, shortly after the person bought the guitar off of the original owner, who also rarely ever played it. Every expert that has seen it so far believes it and its case may possibly be the most well preserved 58’ Strat in existence.
I've said it before and I'll say it again. This guy is a jewel of a personality and a jewel of a guitar player. And here's my observation....in the UK we have the boring self obsessive Chapmans, Bucks, and Spenders who create vain self glorifying portraits of themselves. Mathew Scott portrays the true message of a guitar player and musician that speaks and plays from his soul in both his playing and humble, endearing portrayal of himself.
That Jr. is amazing. I’ve always had a love for Jr’s. Over the summer, I built a full scale, larger bodied mustang-style guitar with my grandfather. One pickup, one volume. I’ve found that the simplicity and the limitations can really open up another side of your playing. I always love to see these videos, as there is only one store that sells anything vintage within an hour and a half from me. Great video and great playing as always!
Jimmy Wallace is one of the most genuine righteous people anyone could have the pleasure of knowing. In addition to his collection of sweet vintage instruments he is the first boutique dealer chosen by Gibson as a partner. His line of personal proprietary instruments based on Gibson designs is superb, as are his personal line of pickups. He owns the largest vintage guitar show on the planet started by Charley Wirz. Jimmy keeps the torch burning, and he's one of the finest guitarists one could ever hear. He's always been kind to me and I'm nobody. Visit him if you ever have the opportunity. Thanks for this video brother.
Your playing really is inspiring, so organic and natural. Your multi-string vibrato is so recognizable and amazing. My favorite out of the ones you played would be that 59 hardtail strat or the Esquire.
There used to be a great vintage guitar shop in South Congress by the Continental Club in Austin, which was called One World. The manager, Gary, was a really great guy. Sadly, the shop's owner decided he could make a better living by renting the shop out as office space and it closed down in about 2001. The irony is that the owner succumbed to a heart attack having gone to all the effort to refurbish the premises. I have happy memories of being in that shop and talking to Gary and the interesting folk who came by.
I actually saw a friend of mine that went to the Dallas Guitar show 2 years ago. They had a run of the SRV's reissues that were about $400.00 and a limited run of them also. That friend said he saw one at a booth a guy was trying to sell for 20k, He almost bought it because he doesn't know much about guitars at all and thought it was cool and he had the money. I told him it was a very nice, limited edition version worth about $400.00 and even sent him a link to the limited edition version. People will try to scam you for sure!
Oh yeah.. BIG TIME. I swear the only thing that would of made this video any better would of been in the truck on the way to the next guitar shop and just as he finished tellin' how cool the collection was at Jimmy's... at 11:49 when he looked into the camera he instead says; "And we're goin' back for that junior! "⛧🤘
I heard “oh Josephene “ slip by there and just noticed in general that you got some Rich R in you. Me too I’m a big fan. Then I saw your Brothers Of A Feather shirt. Says it all.
What a selection. You made those guitars come back to life. Would love to see a video on the weight of each guitar you own. Or am I missing a video on it already? Great job Matthew
Great upload, dude. That 335 is to die for. Loved it. Any updates on the band's recordings? I could give "mirrors" a listen right now... Cheers, dude Edit: About the Two-Rock, was it a black one, with black grill? The one that shows up after you walk in? If so, that's a Traditional Clean.
It is incredible - I live in Toronto (4+ million people), and would never come across the wealth of vintage guitars that you can find so easily in even many of the 'smaller' markets in the US...
Oh my gosh -- at 12:05 -- they have some of Bugs Henderson's gear! That guy was a local legend in Dallas / Ft Worth. I saw him play in a bar in '78, fantastic player.
I don't know if I told you but I have a Les Paul junior I think it's 2013 and it was found in a dumpster with the neck snapped halfway off the bolts were pulled out and it needed a couple of tuners I got some new bolts for it new tune Pro-Line tuners which aren't expensive but they match exactly which was just a fluke for me because I didn't know what I was looking for got some bolts and bolted it back together I love that guitar I freaking love it it's a nice guitar it's a junior it's an epiphone but I love the guitar one of my favorite guitars and I own five hey Donnie Van Zant played a Junior
that's soo classic. you're going to a music store. you start looking at guitars and end up buying something, in most cases a pedal or accessories, you can actually afford ;-)
Hey Matthew, I have been craving a deluxe reverb 65 RI. But!!! Now you have me interested in playing a super reverb. My only problem is finding one within 100 miles from where I live. Thanks for all your episodes. Been watching for about 8 months now.✌
Bought a 3x10 Bandmaster from Jimmy at the Dallas guitar show back in the '80's. I told Jimmy he was asking too much. He just said."Find another one". Paid $1600... No idea what it's worth now. Great amp.
They should have a room in the back serving up sippin’ whiskey and cigars. Almost forgot, a table where you can take out a 2nd mortgage to get one of those lovely ladies.
As someone from England. Guitar centre was like the best place on the planet for me because over here we have guitar shops about 80% smaller than the one I visited. They had everything and it was a dream for me. Yall lucky guys.
I went to killer vintage pretty close to when you guys went. some of the guitars I played were the early 60's Jazzmaster white refin @12:11 , yellowed white 70's Strat blackguard and blondish white tele with white guard @12:09 , and the 60's SG with maestro there wayyy in the back of the shot @12:15 (good checking, nice aged finish, set up well, sounded GREAT! I loved that SG. Unfortunately I'm far too broke) as well as some of the old gibson hollow bodies/ their reissues. great little spot, I wish I could actually afford vintage/reissue.
Damn Boy, you are one hellava guitar player! Really enjoyed you perusing those old gems and hearing your ability to really test drive them in a meaningful way. I have to wonder if the shop owner knows what great advertising he is getting from your visit.

We really need a tutorial for mirrors man, it's one of the best things I've ever heard. also wanna hear you talk about the song.
He posted a vid playing it on insta - i think it had a decent view of his hands so you could copy him there.. But a tutorial would be good yeah
or for truth!!! please! ive been trying to learn that one for a minute!
Lansley Boy Well ive been watching his Hands and figuret some of it out, but yeah a tutorial would be amazing
Learn to play watching yourself in a mirror and notice how fast you learn.
I know many might appreciate but it feels so odd to do such a thing! lol
That junior looks (and sounds) perfect!
Matthew, you’re obviously totally in love with what you do.
That’s awesome and a great inspiration for many others.
How could you leave without that junior?!? Omg such a perfect guitar.
Indeed.
this video is like vintage guitar heaven 😭💕
Hope you tour the world some day man. You're a phenomenal player.

Jimmys has become my favorite shop if the dfw area.. great selection, super cool staff, fair prices, and a laid back old school shop vibe.. too cool
Excellent tour and comments. I have been to all the Dallas stores when I lived there 8 years ago.
Just moved to Dallas a few months ago. Love it here.
That Esquire had some balls! My favorite for sure.

You demonstrated some really cool guitars man.
Very nice place to be.

That '54... those A3 magnets are sooo rich sounding!
Dude! You have to make your way to Norms Rare Guitars someday. ✌
You're playing is awesome it gets better and better with each video you post
Les Paul jnrs have always come alive in my hands for some reason, something about the wild sound they have.
I didnt think you would be such a good player. Hard to find on youtube these days. Keep it up

Thank you for great video. I am watching it from Japan. "Mary Kaye" what I want. That's sound was sooo sweet.✌🏻
That Jr. Smokes all of them.
Great upload, dude. That 335 is to die for. Loved it.
Any updates on the band's recordings? I could give "mirrors" a listen right now...
Cheers, dude
Edit: About the Two-Rock, was it a black one, with black grill? The one that shows up after you walk in? If so, that's a Traditional Clean.
gosh I can't remember the amp.. think it was black
That first amp + guitar you played on filled the room.
Ohhh that blondie strat and the es 335 , thanks for the video , i want to visit that guitar heaven.🤩🤩🤩😍
The song at the beginning was great!
Man, that Jr at 8:04 sounded absolutely amazing!
It was the standout
Excellent thanks Matthew.............roll on 2021 with hopefully guitar shows coming back into the picture.
The D-28 sounds amazing. So resonant.
Looked like a Two Rock Traditional Clean. What. An. Amp. I’m fortunate to have a buddy who owns one and is willing to let me play it periodically. 😀
It is incredible - I live in Toronto (4+ million people), and would never come across the wealth of vintage guitars that you can find so easily in even many of the 'smaller' markets in the US...
Dallas is the 4th largest metro area in the country.
I read somewhere that legendary guitarist jj cale was happy with 100 dollar guitar in his later years he used danelectros
Your knowledge about guitars Is totaly crazy 🤟 I'm really happy that I found your chanel.
Thanks Matt, had a blast following you on your journey that day!

That 56 one piece Ash sunburst with the Chevron grain pattern looks fairly perfect.
Video brother and thanks for sharing so much. You're a very good player too!
I got goosebumps from this
As always, your videos feature cool old guitars and amps ...
The person tuning the guitar in the background gave me anxiety - just waiting to hear that snap.
The UA-cam Critic ukulele... but ok
never noticed until you mentioned it
@@MatthewScottmusic Now you can't not hear it!! mwahaha
I heard that too! I thought i was hearing things. lol
What FANTASTIC axes!!! Thnx for the ride along Matt!
that's soo classic. you're going to a music store. you start looking at guitars and end up buying something, in most cases a pedal or accessories, you can actually afford ;-)
2:37 at this point I can recognize it's Matt playing just from that vibrato
when you feel the blues you can make the guitars sing
oh dude, that dark creme played through strat @3:00 is unbelievable!!! It´s just supercool! Would love to play that beast 😎
That Esquire sounded INCREDIBLE!

Love to hear more about Costa's, even on repairs and stuff
i love Matts playing as much as he loves that blue shirt....seriously
nice video Matt , really nice guitars
Damn Boy, you are one hellava guitar player! Really enjoyed you perusing those old gems and hearing your ability to really test drive them in a meaningful way. I have to wonder if the shop owner knows what great advertising he is getting from your visit.
nice PRS on the wall
The gibson ES had 'the' neck pickup tone
That Martin guitar at the end is very nice, hope you'll some some Martin you'd wanna buy someday
