I’ve had the Kingtone Switch on my Strat & love it! Like Matt just go between 1 & off if I want to have the tone change!!
Unless I hit the lottery I'll never be able to afford a vintage strat. I'm just happy to own a 2020 Fender Player HSS strat. My vintage strat is a 94 Peavey Predator with fat 50's pickups and a blender circuit... LOL. I'm taking a couple of Jeff McErlain's classes on Truefire and love them.
Thanks for checking out the courses! As for the vintage guitars, glad you are happy with your guitar, that’s all that matters. They are cool but won’t make you play any better. It took me to my age to get one at the sacrifice of other things. So, when people say they’ll never be able to afford one, that’s not always true within reason, it’s where you decide to put your efforts and money. And it’s priorities as well. That said, it’s just a guitar and I sound basically the same on all of them. 😀
@@JeffMcErlain Thanks for the reply Jeff. I've been "noodling" with guitars for 30 years but only started trying to focus and get better since covid started back in 2020. At 72 I'm an intermediate player but I have to accept that I'm probably only going to get so much better. With arthritis in my hands I'm not sure how much time I have left but am thankful I can do what I can. Your a great player and teacher!
Thanks for hosting Matt on your show.
Thanks and you are welcome. Thanks for joining us.
This is the perfect reminder that i have to get back into both Matt and Jeff’s Truefire courses i started… must make time !
Two of my favorite people talking about my favorite topic! I'm set for the evening.
🤘🤘🤘
Strat talk, yes! I like how there's so much in common on why guys choose Strats (Jimi, SRV, 80s Clapton) but so much different on why guys keep playing Strats.
Late to the party, but feel free to let Matt know that if he decides to self fund any album (new music, live jams, garage demos, etc...) through kickstarter or something, he can consider my money already down.
Yes ..strat and super reverb ..way to go !!!
That's the thing - I LOVE the romantic idea of owning a vintage Strat - but then you hear all the things you have to deal with and realize a new 60's Custom Shop would be 100 times more practical for me.
Yup for sure. Matt put it best, not all of of guitars are great. But the best guitars I have ever played were all old. But as we both said as well, we love our modern guitars as well and they are way more practical.
I have an 82 Dan Smith era white/cream colored strat, mapple neck that was finally refretted a few years ago and it is really a good guitar...I have three strats and it's the one for me. The only thing is that i t's body is northern ash and it's quite heavy, which is okay in studio but for gigging I can't play all night with it anymore. I use it for a song here and there and play something lighter for most of the night.
A Parts-Strat-Caster I have, has Texas Special Neck and Middle Pickup, & a TV Jones Starwood S-Style P90 Bridge, with a mojotone blender switch, which adds the Neck to the P90 Bridge, it’s quite a sound

Great discussion. The point about the guitar sounding better, the more you play it is interesting. I've had a strat for about two years that was built by a luthier and it definitely sounds different now. I'd say it's more musical now, as ridiculous as that may sound. My luthier, Frank Grubisa out of Australia (makes amaaazing guitars) was saying to me that he used to think this was nonsense, but he himself has persisted with a few guitars that at first didn't blow him away but over time, they did change quite a bit for the better. Obviously depends on the quality of the wood and all of that, but a super interesting point.
What I didn’t get to say, and was meaning, is that a vintage guitar, that just sounds ok cannot be depended on to sound better over time. It’s most likely where it is going to be if it’s been well played. I do think a good guitar gets better the more you play it in general. Some not so much. But there is no way of knowing that for sure.
@@JeffMcErlain Yeah man, totally! I agree.
@@JeffMcErlain great point indeed
Super cool interview.. Matt kicks... thanks :)
My 2011 American standard fender stratocaster is the perfect guitar..strats Rock 🤟😎
That red strat with lipsticks❤️❤️😍😍😍
Hi I've got what Matt's mentioned about the 82 JV fender 62 strat 1st production. It's really really great. I enjoy it over my 2019 CS strat. The neck is fantastic and the rosewood fretboard is so much darker than my CS 59 strat, very very beautiful. I feel so lucky for having it!
Excellent!!!
Strats.....:-)...a very good topic.....my first "real" guitar was a sunburst strat with rosewood fretboard......we parted in the mid 70s already.....😞
😕
Really enjoyed that! I'm a huge fan of Simon's pedals as well. I have his Maiden D/Page DS, which has similar functionality to the Juggler and it's superb
Thanks for being here! Matt just borrowed my Maiden for his tour. We are all fans of his great stuff. I haven’t had time to take the Juggler through it’s paces live yet. But, I think Simon may play even better than he makes pedals!!
New sub here Jeff, I’ve been enjoying your rythym fills course on TrueFire. But to change subject to Strats any thoughts on Shechter S style guitars on here.
Thanks! Man I’ve played some really nice Schecters. A good guitar is a good guitar. Schecters are good guitars.
Reverend Guitars are a good meld between modern and classic feel
"literally the rest of the world" HA
Thank you, enjoyed all of your input and comments as always!
Thanks!
A vintage guitar matters only if you've reached a certain level of playing.
Yeah? Seems more like it matters if you have hands and ears. They feel different and they have a different tone. Probably would make learning better z
For playing, definitely, though there are those Mister Money Bucks who don’t play but just collect vintage gear, and sell at a later time to make a profit
@@smelltheglove2038 But ... 21:06 - there will be plenty of "modern" guitars that sound better and play better than plenty of "vintage" guitars. Also - Jack Pearson.
Just picked up a Silver Sky and it truly does what most Strats don’t do.
Great guitars.
What does SVL stand for? I was unable to find it on Google-brain
Not 💯% sure but Simon Law makes the guitars so I assume that’s the S and the L.
@@JeffMcErlain Thanx mate... that's better than I could do😵💫
Indeed, Simon V Law = instagram.com/svlguitars/
Yup
To much reverb on the mics. Other that that, pure Gold!!! Thank you.
thanks? 😂
