amazing gift man, awesome
Can we be friends too?
What a beautiful thing you have done that is able to reach us all with amazing vibes. Thank you
You're a good soul, man.
You guys did a fantastic job on that guitar... i can tell he really loves it.

My favorite part of the video lmao
Holy shit that's so savage looooool
I’m not surprised by Phil saying this. PRS has too many other pickups that are vintage or LowTurn (LT) winds that are trying too hard to sound like old guitars instead of going for a modern sound. The metal pickups are just hotter in comparison to the others, or mid gain per Phil, which isn’t saying a lot. PRS should have a lot more pickups that are hotter and push the amps more for modern playing.
That is so awesome!
It is, it really is
Indeed!!
Thanks man! And thank you for being the inspiration behind the project!
The guitarist community sets an example for the rest of the world to follow. Pay attention bassists.
Very cool! Congrats on your new amazing axe Phillip!
Thank you
It's not just you, Phil. That's one of the best looking guitars I've ever seen.
True. That finish it jaw-dropping.
Agreed, stunning!
That is a SICK guitar and probably one of the nicest things I’ve heard anyone do.
Damn allergies, my eyes are watering. I’m not crying, you’re crying! Probably one of my all time favorite videos. Congratulations.
Nooo. I’m not crying!! You’re crying!!!
In the 90’s I moved from Southern California to Montana and went to work at Gibson. I have a one-of-kind custom as a result of my time there.
This makes me smile and what we need more of in this world in 2020.
Kindness, friendship and love for one another (and awesome guitars!). We get what we give Phillip and he obviously appreciates you. I know you will cherish not only the guitar but also a true friend.
How true is that ♥️, especially in those times we are going trough. Those stories, coming from the heart, make our world better 🧚♀️
@@warrioroflight2781 Hope for the humans.
This guitar is so beautiful. I love the burst and color on it. I can only imagine how nice it looks in person. The story about it is amazing. Thank you for sharing.
My new favorite color.
Honestly, i can't express how happy I am for you...a guitar like that with all those custom(or just well thought out) appointments..it was thoughtfully made just for you..i completely understand how you could get emotional and how grateful you are. You're great and you deserve every second of effort put into that guitar. Enjoy it, man. Keep on jammin' .
That is the most amazing guitar. I think even if it was a lesser instrument, Phil would be genuinely touched, but the fact that it is such a looker and perfect in terms of quality and every little detail, really disarmed Phil. You can feel the love in the room and even Phil is so overwhelmed that he is lost for words. I am totally envious of this man, but he deserves it totally. It's like a knighthood for McKnight! :-)
A good friend and a fine guitar. Lucky to have one, truly blessed to have both.
You’re so blessed Phil !!
This is a really great story, and as an added bonus, the guitar just came out phenomenally cool. Congrats, and nice work to those at PRS :)
You’ve always been the coolest dude when it comes to guitars. It makes me so incredibly happy to see something so incredible happen to such a kind human. I hope that it serves you well for many years, my friend.
Well said
I recently bought a PRS Neck and Body unfinished, and this inspired me to finish it similar to this guitar.
The story is even cooler than the guitar, and the guitar is very cool.
Not only is the guitar amazing, the story that comes with it makes it even better!
It’s such a personal gift. It’s like a piece of his soul as a gift. Wow.
The best guitar, the best friends and the best guitar “You tuber”. The universe is in sync!! It couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy! Congratulations and enjoy countless hours on that great guitar!
Congratulations Phil- what a beautiful instrument. Everyone involved did a spectacular job!
Half way through this video, I just started tearing up and ended up crying. I could just imagine, being such a guitar lover, what that PRS means to you. Thank you so much for sharing this video.
Such a marvellous gift. You always come across as a real gent and it's heartwarming to see this. We need more kindness in the world!
What a beautiful GIFT! You fortunate man . . . Great friends always come through and do great things for great people.
This really makes me realize what deadbeats my friends are.
🤣
Can't stop laughing now. You probably said that with tears in your eyes. Lol.
Reminded me of a couple of people who I need to make some things happen for. It doesn't have to be quite so monumental, and it can still put a little zippideedoodah into their day. Like Bill and Ted and the Dahli Lama say, "Be excellent to one another."
You're ill...in a good sort of way!
Hilarious and so true
I'm not crying, you’re crying!
That was really incredible. You must be a really great guy to have such amazing people in your life. Thank you for sharing, can't wait to see what's next. AZ fan
This is one of the most heartwarming guitar videos I’ve seen. This doesn’t just say what kind of person Phil is but also Phil’s friend that he’d have all those other people help work on this project
What an absolutely amazing gift, both physically and emotionally. I can't imagine the bond of friendship behind this 6 string shell. Knowing the kindness and goodwill of the employees who donated their time to this just makes me love the PRS family and brand that much more!
So cool. Well deserved. “Happiness is only real when shared” ~
That's the type of friend that is once in a lifetime. Very special.
I am crying already man! Pure joy. Friendship it is an amazing thing. You deserve it for shure.
Great story, great guitar, great company, great friends of a great guy... and I’ve never met you before. I think all of us feel like we know you because you have such a positive, warm and friendly transparency that truly shows on every video ! Blessings
I had a tear in my eye the whole time watching this video. It shows how good of a person you are and how much people appreciate you for someone to do that. I try and show my appreciation for the people that have affected my life in a positive way also but that guitar is HUGE!! You must be an awesome guy to be friends with. I haven’t watched many of your videos and my interest in guitar videos comes and goes but I’m going to subscribe now because this video was touching and it made me feel emotions I typically don’t get to feel and if something can do that then it’s special and deserves some more attention than just a pass through click and watch on occasion. This kinda content needs to be on my daily watch list. And good on Nathan, that’s one cool freakin dude to do something so special for a friend. Watch and learn people!! This is how we as humans should interact, be kind, give easily and earn each other’s respect through just being fuckin cool man!!!
This also says some very nice things about you. Both the friendship you engender and the appreciation you show. Good job to all involved.
Two people are blessed. The giver and the receiver. It takes two people to be a blessing. Now when you go to bed tuck it in beside you and give it a good night kiss.
Amazing looking and sounding guitar
Absolutely Amazing Phil. I was even a little emotional watching it. You're a lucky guy to have such friends. And the guitar itself is one of the nicest I've ever seen in my life. Enjoy it - you deserve it and certainly have earned it with yourself being the way you are. Enjoy that my friend!
The World needs more people like those guys. What a tremendous Gesture, simply awesome.
This was very moving to watch. Thanks for sharing the moment with us! You’re a kind man, Phillip, and you deserve great things. Rock on. 🤘🏻
Congrats, Phil! Thanks for leaving the raw emotion in the video and not editing it out. I'm an even bigger PRS fanboy now lol
I've watched so many of your video's Phil. You deserve this. The fact that so many PRS workers got involved, that knew you, from your video's and the character reference from a former employee, to put so much effort into this, is a testament to how so many of us see you too. Congratulations.
That is a special gift from to get from a close friend. You can hear your emotions in your voice come across. Totally awesome!
That was a very heartfelt video Phillip. It’s really nice to see somebody genuinely emotionally very touched by something that a friend has done for them. Just very nice to see, and totally made my day.
Hope you continue to stay safe and healthy in this crazy world, especially nowadays!
wow this is absolutely amazing--love the concept! i think its amazing that PRS lets their employees work on personal projects.
man, just answer this: did you cry? I believe this is so emotional. Everything.
Dude I was almost tearing up watching this video… what a beautiful surprise from a beautiful friend. You are very lucky to have a friend so thoughtful.
Phil great video and thanks for sharing. During this year we need more of this type of kindness to be shared amongst each other.
So happy for you, couldn't happen to a nicer guy! Hit me in the feels...
In these hyper-contentious times, this video should be a mandatory watch & wake-up call for people of all persuasions…. not just music based. A gem of a testament of what some of us sometimes forget - what it means to properly live and honor the human condition. Whether knowingly or unknowingly, Phillip just posted a powerful, much needed, Karmic message for all of us!
It's so touching to see him getting sentimental. Love this channel, I'm glad N did this for him.
This was the best video of 2020. It made me so happy to see this happen. With everything going on the world needs more happiness and generosity. Congrats Phil that thing is amazing. And Nathan you and your friends do impeccable work! Bravo! 👏👏👏
Wow, just wow! Every single second of this video I was thinking he's gonna cry right now! Congrats for having such good people around you!
When your guitar feels so much like home that even looks like it.
Awesome guitar, from awesome friends for an awesome guy with an awesome channel.
Man, watching you just look at it. You can see the feelings and admiration of the work. Best video yet
Totally awesome. You are a very blessed man to have such caring friends. Wishing you continued friendships and blessings.
Wow, we rarely get to see this side of people .. what a great guy. Definitely deserves it.
Beautiful guitar. You do have some amazing friends, but i understand why. Youre a phenomenal dude.
That is one awesome gift! I definitely understand getting a little choked up when talking about it. Congratulations, and cherish the guitar and friends as much as they obviously cherish you!
Wow, what a beautiful thing to do for a friend. Guitar people are special human beings on this planet. PRS as a company are people who are beyond what you would expect and Paul makes it happen. Very great full to be a small part of this world. Congratulations on having this life changing experience. Simply beautiful in every way. Pay it forward in kindness!
This couldnt have happened to a more deserving and appreciative person. This is what happens when you not only know your gear but also spread the wealth.
I've been watching this channel for years and it choked me up ... Guess it's time for me to buy a PRS
Just scrolling through reading comments and ran across yours. Yeah man you should. I finally ended up buying a second hand Korean Chris Robertson model and it's a gem! They really are great guitars. One of these days I'll get my hands on a USA built one but honestly the Korean build is great!
I would like to say that this is my favorite video you have made because you were so humble about this amazing blessing. It was simply beautiful. You are a good man too!
This is my favorite Phillip McKnight video that I've seen. You do have great friends, and its really cool to see this amount of kindness when things seem so crazy out there. Thanks for sharing this really personal gesture with us Phil.
Hey Phil, that guitar is truly beautiful, and one of the best stories I've run across as well. Nice!
If you're going to do more "Sharpen My Axe", I've got an old Custom 24 that could use some sharpening. I would love to make it happen.
Had me a little choked up there! A lot of positive energy being squirted out into the universe from this vid. Great stuff, just what I needed to see :) 👍🏼👊🏼
12:30 long silence says it all, pure feeling. Enjoy that axe!
What a wonderful emotional attachment, and wearing your heart on your sleeve. I have a guitar which I got from a good friend who's now passed, and that has some of him still with me. I totally get that special place for your guitar.
I’m sure you’re a great friend to your friends..they wouldn’t do anything like that for you if you weren’t a cool guy. God bless you! I haven’t played music in years. It’s behind me, but instill get the urge. Rock on Brother
After 15 years of playing I recently bought my first pro guitar, a used japanese Ibanez s2020 prestige. It basically has a similar look to this PRS, but with Mahogany top. I love it, plays awesome, but it got really beat up over the years. I thought nah, I keep the many bruises and dings as patina. Now, after seeing this, I want to work on it and bring it in nice looking shape again. This was really inspiring! Also thanks Phil, your channel has been a blessing. Your combination of just having fun and your profound knowledge and education makes it so great and has helped me enormously!
Ibanez prestige really are great guitars
Damn... I'm choked up. It's a testament to who you are; Phillip. Since the first time I watched KYG, I could see you are a genuine l, caring person.
Friends like that exist because of this.
Thanks for sharing something so personal. You rock!
We should all have friends who care about us as much as these folks care about you... They are the real gifts... Thanks for including us in the joy...
It really is a great looking guitar. The stain is perfect. Beautiful!
This is the coolest thing I’ve seen in a long time. This is why I love the guitar community so much. BTW this beautiful instrument reminds me of a freshly poured pint of Guinness.
Gorgeous !! Awesome gift Nathan!!
Phil, that's a great friend you have there! congrats!!
Our family and friends are the greatest treasure on earth. Ultimately a guitar is just wood and metal shaped by the hands of love. I may be a year late in seeing this video for the first time but, the emotions and impact of it still remain. Thank you Phil for sharing this very special gift.
Either the good people at PRS really love you, or they really love Nathan. 😉
Wow! A piece of art!
Probably the most real video on RUclips. You can feel how much this means, you’re a good guy and you deserve it
I'm so happy for you dude. Friendship and kindness is what this world needs more of right now and this is a beautiful gesture. Enjoy!
Dude I wouldn’t be able to talk I would be bawling my eyes out over that guitar I haven’t played an electric guitar in almost 7 years and prs Guitars are magical
Amazing work by the people at PRS. The worst part of this video is I know I'm going to drop a couple grand on a PRS now!
Love this! I mean the gesture, in part, but mostly I love that someone cared enough about another person to do something like this for them. And also that it means so much to you. I don't think there's enough of this level of caring in the world.
Cried.
You're a beautiful creature.
Thank you for sharing this.
Thank you for the lessons, priceless gear info, warmth and entertainment.
Nathan, I don't know you, but when you wrote: "It was worth it", man that's the best, thank you, I felt great, like it was for me, I'm not religious, but:
Each one must give as he has decided in his heart, not reluctantly or under compulsion, for God loves a cheerful giver.
Give, and it will be given to you. Good measure, pressed down, shaken together, running over, will be put into your lap. For with the measure you use it will be measured back to you.
Congratulations to both of you, cheers and take care...

I know how you feel. I fixed a long time childhood friend's furnace after the previous company sabotaged it to sell them another. (A personal beef I have with my industry RHVAC. I Will Not Cheat People!)
Well I got it back up and running, and confirmed it's running well and safely, and thought nothing of it. No charge since he is one of my oldest friends, and they were tight on cash anyway.
About a month later I get a call, and he said it's about the furnace. I run down to his house thinking the worst has happened, wondering what I missed. I see the exhaust flowing from the vent. Now, I'm confused. I have all my tools ready to fight the furnace.
I knock on the door, and they let me in, "Ok, what's wrong with the furnace?"
"Nothing," he says, "we just wanted to thank you." Now, I am really confused.
Here comes Nick's wife with a left handed Squier Stratocaster. Nick had found himself a new job and they were out shopping in Hillsdale and saw it in a shop window. For some reason it reminded Emma of me. So they bought it and presented it to me that night.
It may only be a Squier but it feels good in my hand and it sounds really great. In 20 years of being a RHVAC technician, no one has ever done so much to say Thank You before or since. It just blew me way.
So I understand how hard it is to objectively do a review of something so close to your heart. You are rich beyond your dreams.
I haven’t been following your channel for long, but i don’t require a lot of time with “you” to know how effing special this was. i myself even got choked up. lol. What an absolutely beautiful guitar, beautiful gesture and a bunch of beautiful friends. thanks so much for sharing this, man.
Absolutely stunning! Sounds even better. Your a lucky man to have such a great friend.
Good for you Phil! Thanks for sharing your great experience with us.
Amazing - such a cool looking and sounding guitar - giving me GAS
Good for you Phil! As a long time viewer I’m so happy to see you get such a nice gift.
What a fantastic way to show love and appreciation, kudos to Nathan and congrats to you Phil, an amazing guitar and an outstanding friend!
you must have been a good boss for this guy to do this for you!All the other prs people that helped probably heard you were good in that most important job the boss i always say its not the work that keeps you happy its the people you interact with while you work.the boss sets the tone.
I keep waiting for Phil to say, "don't tell my wife" (as in, "it's the sexiest thing I've ever seen (don't tell my wife)")
it comes to show guitar friends and the community is really a great bunch . and also i cant think of a better person that deserves it as much as Phil
Truly touching. You deserve great friends who do exceptional things for you.
What a gorgeous guitar. How cool is that!
Finish called "desert sandstorm," you know you have to do a cover of Sandstorm by Darude now right?
Anyways, what a beautiful guitar and gesture. Congrats! :D
Totally Awesome Phil, man im tearing up for you, what a gift to be given, not just because of what it is but the time and expertise of so many people, i would call that a labor of luv, Awesome just Awesome, Cheers phil and i know you will certainly Enjoy your gift, Cheers
What a wonderful gift! I could tell you were so touched!!
