Seeing a guy being so in his element like this is incredibly inspiring, whether you're a guitar player or not. These videos pick me right up when I'm down!
@RobLow18Car @RobLow18Car Thanks to all the friends of the show, we have been able to evolve and make them better and better... So I'd say thank yourselves and take a bow, we've done this with no advertising or promotion.. we're all a team!! Keep watching and I'll keep cutting!
I was just thinking to myself "I should go on their page and request Foxey Lady for a future video", and literally as soon as I thought that he started playing it. That was awesome!
08:15 - until the end It was an incredible highlight of PhilX with that Beauty Mary, this strat sounds so stratish especiallly with EVILROBOT, thanks you Phil for GoOD review!!!!!!!! Wish you ocean of Inspiration!
Hard tail through the body strings would have made more sense for Mary Kaye back in the day, since she played mostly passing jazz chords. Dunno if she actually ever had a hard tail one though, ha. She was amazingly talented, she could sing very well and fly on jazz chords at the same time without watching her hands, very talented, classy and personable. Her Mary Kaye Trio was a great act, lots of crowd interaction and humor, and they were credited with creating the lounge act in Las Vegas, probably playing some of the longest gigs ever, ha. She and her Trio were really cool for their time. Still enjoy watching their few videos out there.
She would be pleased w the progression - This instrument sound superb - and the evolution w it's abilities - is why we arw sewing it now - still. It gives her a bit of continued fame - outside of Vegas nightclubs and all she had to deal with.
@:30 just over Phil's right shoulder (which is the left side of the screen for those of us who aren't as good at left right juxtaposition) is a guitar. It appears to be a 2 pickup stratocaster, natural finish, silver tone pickguard, maple neck/fretboard. I have looked for this guitar on fretted americana's site, but have not found it. I would like more info.
Beautiful... It's almost as if the tone has a bit more body, considering that it's a string-thru. Just one question though... is that the OHSC pictured at 0:13?
@frettedamericana Great video as always! You really seem to be going to town on the editing these days Dustin! There seems to be about a million different camera angles haha. Thanks for keeping these videos coming, i really appreciate them with all the time you guys put in to it. Robert.
Phils rendition of Golden Years actually sounds better than Bowies...The "Angel" just seems right out of place on bowies...Kudos Phil! Definately my guitar inspiration
I am NOT a strat kind of guy, BUT WOW!! I dig the shit out of that guitar!! phile knows how to work a guitar!! He makes that fucking thing sound mighty fine!!
Check out Mary Kaye playing the original strat on youtube search Mary Kaye Trio. Mary died in 2007 so did Bill Carson the other strat cat within days of each other. They had the 1st 2 strats Fender made
Could Dick play the Bouzouki too? I love the tones coming out of this guitar! Imagine my comment wasn't 6 years after this was posted? I might be able to buy it. 😜
@TulioSounds I know I'm late to this party but I just have to say. The reason they sound the same is the "Pea's" sampled Dick Dales version of Misirlou for "pump it" which as far as I'm concerned is something that happens far to often in music these days. :(
@LLCW Interesting one! I believe that's a Custom Shop model. Also note how far from the neck the "neck" pickup is set. I hope Phil demos that one soon.
Great sounding strat. Definitely a different tone/vibe to a regular trem-equipped Strat. It sounds a little compressed when Phil hits the strings harder, but I'm assuming the guitar is not plugged into a compressor pedal. Awesome Phil....as usual!
@bigfish0886 They do make a few still, The MIM and CS Robert Crays, the Billy Corgan is a hardtail, Jim Root strat is a hardtail. They did make American Standards with a HT option up until a few years ago, but they were discontinued because they just don't sale that well.
you guys inspire me so i wish i could still play lol i read the comment by animalman1122 about a guitar contest and i got really exited well the whole story behind it is some duche' broke into my house while i was gone and stole nothing but my guitar which i was really sad about and still to this day lol but i just cant play all this stuff on acoustic so i was hoping that a guitar contest may be a posibilty sometime in the future because its one thing to have a guitar but one autographedisbetter
gotta love fender ! clean tone is perfect! ( according to my hear ) not try to be a fan boy here but everytime i check out a gibson review always review it with distortion!
you can sing like Pauley on Long Tall Sally , that ain't no easy feat , it's actually a Big Feat when your range sucks ... guitar is awessome and you had your way with Mary K .. she is a babe .
Lovin' the improv and the Bowie! Fresh Phil X is fresh!

Beth Bartlett Heard that. Are you related to MK?
Nealix D. Now I want to listen to her! Thanks!
MAGIC!
Kudos for the "solo cam" work!
what gear are you using because besides the Strat, Ibanez Bad Monkey, Tonemaster, & Boss ME-25 there's other stuff.
lol "they're tricky bastards over at Fender"
man you make me smile
Phil X + Strat .. the dream team ;)
@:30 just over Phil's right shoulder (which is the left side of the screen for those of us who aren't as good at left right juxtaposition) is a guitar.

is that 2 pickup natural strat in the background (the one with the metal pickguard) a 12- string? :D
@Lightbulbs33 That is a Duo Sonic II
Im not really a strat guy most of the time, but this thing kicked my ass! :D
When a body is painted a solid color they can say what ever they want the body is... which is what Phil means.
'Golden Years' ...oh YES !
have you done any videos with the light blue strat behind phil
Beautiful... It's almost as if the tone has a bit more body, considering that it's a string-thru. Just one question though... is that the OHSC pictured at 0:13?
dude, I want so bad to see and hear that duo-sonic in action... please, David and Dustin... make Phil play that baby
This is my new favorite version of "I'm Down".
Must be a great guitar. Phil looked like he enjoyed playing it.
nice voice phil!
@frettedamericana A contest?! That's awesome!!! :) Also: Thank you for another amazing video! I enjoyed every one of them :D
damn if its a fender master builders favorite guitar, you know its good!
What's the Warwick bass-thing on the left side in the top row? It's lookin very cool :)
@HENDRIXREBORN93 That is a Duo Sonic II
@frettedamericana Great video as always! You really seem to be going to town on the editing these days Dustin! There seems to be about a million different camera angles haha.
Thanks for keeping these videos coming, i really appreciate them with all the time you guys put in to it.
Robert.
Is this guitar still for sale? It's awesome! So is Phil X!!!
Phil, you radiate good shiiiiiit!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Always pick me up! Cheers!
This dude is so much fun to watch lol
Top left corner at 6:44 what type of guitar is that? can you do a vid for it.
whats that first song? The one with the tremolo picking?
This guy is good enough to play lead guitar in Bon Jovi!
Phils rendition of Golden Years actually sounds better than Bowies...The "Angel" just seems right out of place on bowies...Kudos Phil!
Definately my guitar inspiration
@LuccaTotti everyone will be able to enter! :)
I am NOT a strat kind of guy, BUT WOW!! I dig the shit out of that guitar!! phile knows how to work a guitar!! He makes that fucking thing sound mighty fine!!
Could you pleas review the strat right behind Phil with the 2 Singlecoils?
That would be awesome!
Thanks and greetings from Germany
can't wait for phil's custom acoustic from Louncin!
Check out Mary Kaye playing the original strat on youtube search Mary Kaye Trio. Mary died in 2007 so did Bill Carson the other strat cat within days of each other. They had the 1st 2 strats Fender made

What's the guitar on the top left corner at 12:12 ?
I think that should be in the next video ;)
@LLCW Interesting one! I believe that's a Custom Shop model. Also note how far from the neck the "neck" pickup is set. I hope Phil demos that one soon.
what mic were u guys using on the evil robot?
good sound effects

gotta love fender ! clean tone is perfect! ( according to my hear )

Magic
8:40 Hellcat - Scorpions !! ok ive seen a ton of these videos. that is beyond badass :)
try some of that sustained drone at the end through the looper and dazzle us with some exotic modalities over that!
the gun sound fx was awesome
What picks does phil x use?
@LWRCftw its two guitars (i think) one behind another. the one in the back is prolly a minarik but i got no clue what the one in the front is
What pickups are in this strat?
