Marty Stuart & The Fabulous Superlatives

"Running Down A Dream" ... Marty's solo is high octane gas.

"Sundown In Nashville"

"Applejack," featuring Gary Carter on steel

BMarty Stuart and the Fabulous Superlatives perform "Applejack" (written by Tom Brumley) using RS Guitarworks Superlative guitars on The Marty Stuart Show.

RS Guitarworks is proud to announce the only authorized and endorsed guitar by Country music legend Marty Stuart and his band, the Fabulous Superlatives. RS Guitarworks got together with Marty, Cousin Kenny Vaughan and Apostle Paul Martin to create a series of instruments that meets Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives' desire for classic feel, tone and build quality.

The RS Superlative guitar has a one piece maple neck with dimensions taken directly from Marty's favorite Tele, 'Clarence' (the late Clarence White's bender-modified 1954 Esquire). A lightweight pine body with a silver sparkle nitrocellulose finish makes the RS Guitarworks Superlative a picker's dream. Lindy Fralin custom-wound SuperlaTone pickups and world-renowned RS Guitarworks electronics round out this amazing guitar.

The RS Superlative bass has a one piece maple neck with Apostle Paul's special neck contour, an ultra lightweight alder body, a custom Lindy Fralin P-Bass pickup and RS electronics. A silver sparkle nitrocellulose finish makes this bass look as good as it sounds.

The RS Superlative guitars and bass were used extensively on Marty and the Fabulous Superlatives' new album, Nashville, Volume 1: Tear The Woodpile Down (2012, Superlatone Records).

WOLFGANG AMADEUS MOZART

"When I am, as it were, completely myself, entirely alone and of good cheer – say travelling in a carriage or walking after a good meal, or during the night when I cannot sleep – it is on such occasions that my ideas flow best and most abundantly. Whence, and how, they come I know not ; nor can I force them. Those ideas that please me I retain in memory and am accustomed, as I have been told, to hum them to myself. If I continue in this way, it soon occurs to me how I may turn this dainty morsel to account, so as to make a good dish of it. That is to say, agreeable to the rules of counterpoint, to the peculiarities of various instruments etc. All this fires my soul, and, provided I am not disturbed, my subject enlarges itself, becomes methodised, and defined, and the whole, though it be long, stands almost complete and finished in my mind, so that I can survey it like a fine picture or a beautiful statue at a glance. Nor do I hear in my imagination the parts successively, but I hear them, as it were, all at once. What a delight this is, I cannot tell."

MARCUS AURELIUS

"Is your cucumber bitter? Throw it away. Are there briars in your path? Turn aside. That is enough. Do not go on and say, 'Why were things of this sort ever brought into this world?' neither intolerable nor everlasting - if thou bearest in mind that it has its limits, and if thou addest nothing to it in imagination. Pain is either an evil to the body (then let the body say what it thinks of it!)-or to the soul. But it is in the power of the soul to maintain its own serenity and tranquility."

VINCENT van GOGH

"What am I in the eyes of most people? A nonentity or an oddity or a disagreeable person — someone who has and will have no position in society, in short a little lower than the lowest. Very well — assuming that everything is indeed like that, then through my work I’d like to show what there is in the heart of such an oddity, such a nobody. This is my ambition, which is based less on resentment than on love in spite of everything, based more on a feeling of serenity than on passion. Even though I’m often in a mess, inside me there’s still a calm, pure harmony and music. In the poorest little house, in the filthiest corner, I see paintings or drawings. And my mind turns in that direction as if with an irresistible urge. As time passes, other things are increasingly excluded, and the more they are the faster my eyes see the picturesque. Art demands persistent work, work in spite of everything, and unceasing observation."
