I love this guy, he rocks so many versions of music to demonstrate the versatility of the guitars. Keep up the good work and for being an inspiration to me and others!
@GuitarA99 You are a simpleton my friend. It is plainly obvious to everyone else here, that Phil loves to have fun and gives his reviews in a tongue and cheek style because (i imagine) he is extremely humble and doesnt take himself too seriously. Thats called charisma my friend and Phil has it in spades. Keep rockin' Phil. As usual--totally hilarious and entertaining.
@frettedamericana If it's a new/current model I like new ones and when it's vintage and awesome like at your shop I really don't mind! It just is different!
@GuitarA99 You are totally wrong - he is not at all cocky. In fact what is so entertaining about Phil is how he is so self effacing. When he makes a mistake - he laughs at himself and mocks himself. He is the complete opposite of what you have described.
man you are crazy:D but this video is really good, you have soul man, not like the other gear presenters whose speaking so calm and boring.. keep rockin!:D
Well, I think Phil was joking about the pick. Some picks are made with holes in the center to get a better grip. You can break picks without wearing them down though, I broke the end off one before.
Phil is awesome and his reviews are great and better than most of the others online. (sorry if i offend) but HE DOESN'T just PLAY SLEEPWALK FOR 10 MINUETS. This is a very nice review because i don't fall asleep half way through because some guy is monotonously playing the same G-C-D progression the whole video and the only thing that every changes the whole time is the pickup he is using. I like his Phil reviews because I know now that the guitar can do more than Rockabilly, and he is fun.
i bought a model not in cherry redish color i got it in a nice maple dark orange its plays very clean i would reccomend it i play metal on it alot of the time
Hey man, thanks for the videos, you are very inspiring to try out all different stuff and sounds, when i hear you i grab my guitar and try to copy the licks, progressions and sound ;-)
@lbap94 If you wouldn't mind taking a look at our website, you'll see that it is still for sale. All the information on this guitar is there for you to read. If you are interested in this guitar, please call us or email us. Many thanks.
He punches holes in his picks for extra grip, but that causes the pick to become more fragile when he plays like he does. one of the corners will end up snapping off.
@hebijebi03 wow - well everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and comments, so I'm going to let the rest of our viewers have a chance to respond to your message...
Now that's tone! Wrong guitar for the Cooper song? Maybe his band was using the wrong guitars. Everything Phil played sounded better on that guitar than the records.
@KjellGibson Dude you need to move on then. He's demoing guitars - lots of vintage guitars - for guitar players. And he's and extremely talented guitar player and singer. So give him his props...or go away.
This guy's enthusiasm is completely infectious. I love his videos. Real fun.
I love this guy, he rocks so many versions of music to demonstrate the versatility of the guitars. Keep up the good work and for being an inspiration to me and others!
WE BLEW A LIGHT! That was awesome. His energy totally destroyed that light. Rock on Phil X.
I need this guys energy!
I love this guy. .. He loves music and guitar, and shows you what the guitar sounds like and makes it look fun. .. I might go buy a Gretsch now. ..
Love the tone he's getting out of this thing. Clean, dirty, doesn't matter this thing just sings . . .
This guy is so intensely laid back, in an intense way. Love it!
love the natural grit that dearmond pickups have! love those pickups!!!!!!!!
i love Phils vids!He obviously has a good sense of humour and his playing is just fantastic!hope to see alot more vids.
He is so right about ear training. Even amateur musicians need to pay a lot of attention to it.
so much energy that he shorted a light bulb
Nice. Even on youttube "compromised" audio, you can still hear how natural and relaxed it sounds compared to the modern version.
that guitar has such a wonderful tone. very bluesy! i love your demos btw, cuz you really show the gamut of what the guitars can do!
Hey, I was just felling crappy and then I started watching another of your videos. Cheered me right up. :)
Phil X rocks! Loving his demos! Gotta start saving my pennies.....

i should hate this guy but oh my god he can play
Phil just love the love the blues licks
I once blew up the mixer at a recording session. No joke :) It started smoking and the it blew up :D Biggest rockstar moment in my life :D
The best review on the tube
@frettedamericana If it's a new/current model I like new ones and when it's vintage and awesome like at your shop I really don't mind! It just is different!
does the guitar really sound like that or is it just him because if it just sounds like that i want one

the name is Stray Cat Strut, phil it's so cool. congratulations frettedamericana to hiring phil
man you are crazy:D but this video is really good, you have soul man, not like the other gear presenters whose speaking so calm and boring.. keep rockin!:D
I really like how you did stray cat blues. I know your just shooting the shit kinda on it but I like your version better. Still a great song tho!
i just bought a guitar like this a Gretsch electromatic 5129, well almost bought it its on layaway in a pawn shop. I'll have her friday.
he sings song very well !!
HE BLOWED LIGHTS MAN!

"George Jones... KILLAH"! Love it. Another great review Phil. Thx.
Your Chanel is very Nice Welldone
Hey Phil, Great video! You need a StringRayTool for this beauty when it comes to re-stringing!
Thanks for reminding me stray cat blues ... I have to learn it now
i dont see why phil x gets so much shit, he's badass :D. He probably does the best guitar reviews on youtube.
"Hot Dog" by Led Zeppelin is the best country song EVER!!!
i bought a model not in cherry redish color i got it in a nice maple dark orange its plays very clean i would reccomend it i play metal on it alot of the time
this is real life waynes world, its fucking awesome
im thinking about getting the gretsch g100 synchromatic acoustic archtop.whats the difference between archtop and a flat acoustic????????????????????
Great video, I should play some more Gretsch guitars the next time I'm in a guitar store. BTW for any casual viewers I think Fender owns Gretsch now.
Great vids-funny man Phil x,a real entertainer.
Hey man, thanks for the videos, you are very inspiring to try out all different stuff and sounds, when i hear you i grab my guitar and try to copy the licks, progressions and sound ;-)
awesome sound dude!!!
@Elnonopololo Thanks for your help, it was Walk This Way... I couldn't remember it name. ;-)
Your shirt is fantastic...
@sgvslp it means people who can't do, crap on those who can!
at first i thought he was annoying, but he's actually great!
@lbap94 If you wouldn't mind taking a look at our website, you'll see that it is still for sale. All the information on this guitar is there for you to read. If you are interested in this guitar, please call us or email us. Many thanks.
I love how this man instantly goes from aerosmith to led zeppelin in the blink on a eye! does it get any better? haha
@LostLustify WOW....you are missin' out!!!!
Phil X totally rules... he is my inspiration... :)
I kept on playing because I saw his videos.... xddd
KEEP ON ROCKING MAN!!
This guy is so fucking amazing
this dude cracks me up!
@LostLustify what you really just said was "I never buy guitars that already sound great, I prefer to wait for years before I get what I paid for"
@hammer59700 You mean the one after Walk This Way? It's Bring it on home by Zep.
If I had this guitar and practiced with another guitarist, bass, drums and keyboard player in a small room... Would the feedback be too bad ?
I have infinate man love for you Phil X. The straight kind i swear.
He punches holes in his picks for extra grip, but that causes the pick to become more fragile when he plays like he does. one of the corners will end up snapping off.
Dude i just watched your video.... YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!!
Phil strike again...long time I've no hear this Stray Cats song...good to remember...
Greeting from France !!! keep rockin'
how do you know all these different parts of different songs!? sooo many
the name is Stray Cat Strut, phil it's so cool
@GuitarA99 and you can't just enjoy the videos as entertainment - because?
dream guitar :(
this guy rocks for real .. really if someone ask me my favourite singer i Will say Steve X :)
searched gretsch and this was the first video... trust
Now that's tone!
Sounded fine to me.
And I meant my last comment not in internet speak but as in, Fender owns the Gretsch company.
whats the song by the stray cats (or brian setzer, idk who it was by)?
@hebijebi03 wow - well everyone is entitled to their own thoughts and comments, so I'm going to let the rest of our viewers have a chance to respond to your message...
@frettedamericana ohhhhhhhhh thanks :D
What's the riff at 8:50 ? Thx
Love the shirt.
And uhm, oh yeah, EPIC GUITAR!
Now that's tone! Wrong guitar for the Cooper song? Maybe his band was using the wrong guitars. Everything Phil played sounded better on that guitar than the records.
Hahaha Phil really reminded me of Jack Black when he said "WE BLEW A LIGHT! WITH OUR ROCK AND ROLL!".
cuando vas a unprobar un hoffman y soldano slo con les paul custom
Your awsome, will get same guitar today =D
@iConverseMyLife That's Phil's band.
hey phil nice stray cat strut that was awesome :D love the vids
love it dude!!!love it!!!
what is the song he's playing? can't remember the name
@MrWoodoop
not everthing is about high output pickups and super fast shredding necks...
Jack Black's little bro???
What is there to dislike?!! How can you bring yourself to click such a button?
@KjellGibson
Dude you need to move on then. He's demoing guitars - lots of vintage guitars - for guitar players. And he's and extremely talented guitar player and singer. So give him his props...or go away.
Amazing
What song is it, starting 03:30? I really loved it.
anyone no the name of the song at 8:56?
STRAY CATS :D
You just got one upped in my book.
lmao, Thats what happens when someone as badass as Phil X plays Zeppelin! Lights can handle the level of awesome.
I'd like to see a tour of fretted americana. I always wonder if that's a store, someone's basement, what's around him??
Any info on the blond 335 behind/next to him?
