The edges of the body are mahogany and there are two zebrawood strip inserts on the widest part of the body. One-piece Flame Maple neck with mahogany edges. The neck has a nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches and a really fast thin profile. Ebony fretboard with 22 medium-jumbo frets and inlaid 'Mother-of-Pearl' side-position markers.

Two Kent Armstrong Super Rocker High Output Humbucking pickups with rosewood pickup rings and outputs of 14.95k and 14.50k. Two controls (one volume, one blender/tone) plus a mini three-way pickup selector switch and a specific mahogany jack input, all on a shaped mahogany panel secured by four screws. The control knobs consist of a 0.79 inch diameter volume control and a 0.64 inch diameter blender/tone control, each one with knurled sides and a domed top with tiger-eye inserts. Ebonized Nashville style Tune-O-Matic bridge with metal saddles and three-layer metal, ebony and rosewood stop-tailpiece secured to body by two screws. This fine, hand-built guitar is in near mint (9.25) condition with just two very small and barely noticeable indentations on the top. Housed in the original "Gator" three-latch, rectangular black hardshell case with black leather ends and black plush lining (9.25).
Dan is playing : Paoletti Instruments® was established in 2005 as natural evolution of Fabrizio Paoletti's guitar luthier and amplifier tech activities.
Inspired by the shapes of the most iconic guitars in rock history, Fabrizio hand-crafted two unique prototypes: a Stratospheric '57 and a Nancy '52. Some friends' precious suggestions led Fabrizio to realize a third guitar, inspired by Van Halen's 5150. All the positive feedbacks received encouraged Paoletti to apply full time to this activity, specializing in the production of different versions of the Stratospheric, Nancy, Les Paoletti and Skybass models, each one offered with unique features, customizations and first quality materials.

Phil's drummer is KILLER! Love it.
Man no matter how much of a shitty day I have, this guy always cheers me up! Legend!
That spider man riff/song/jam sounds sooo good. Huuuuge Psychobilly feel to it! Nice Phil. Amazing!
Haha it really was great!
Surely the coolest uncle or dad ever :)
Phil makes my day, Thanks!
You should put Spider Man on the next Drills album.
Good idea right until Marvel wanted all there money from the Spiderman theme tune
TGIF and a Fretted Americana video with Phil X!! Great start to the weekend :)
Phil X really kicks but,reminds me of the MC5 guys Fred and Wayne.
PHIL - do some drop tuning stuff!
I could see some QOTSA tones flowing from this guitar. Please
That guitar cuts nicely in that mix!! Wow
What a great sounding guitar (and player and amp)
Like butter baby
Instant like before even viewing! Thats love dude!
I got super excited to hear them play Helicopter like the heading said, but have no problem settling for Live on the Moon!
Awesome video.
Yo Phil x I love your videos man so awesome because I like the licks you play
The band bit at the end is just awesome as always. The Drills need to tour in Europe :)
it's been probably 3 years since I've watched one of these videos, "carl thompson" in the title is a guaranteed view from me
That thing sounds awesome!
Carl Thopmson, all kneel.
Sounds fantastic
This vid is one of Phil's best vids or up there i reckon! It kicked some major flipping ass!!!
Wow! Slabs of wood went into that guit. Love to throw that one into the 'Tonewood Debate' lol: Love the neck - 3 woods, beautiful maple in the neck. Loving it Phil! Keep it up buddy!
Phil X cheers me up, -every time. Thanks Phil!! ;-)) \m/
Well that's a beauty!
Love that Canadian Pronunciation Mahawgony Bawdy!!
U Rock Phil!!
I wish every day were Phil X Friday. Phil should have his own Saturday morning kids TV show.
Great sounding guitar! Any chance of some les paul juniors/les paul specials getting reviewed? Need some P-90 goodness.
They have a few LP specials and customs and a LP jr review just look up philx then LesPaul JR and you will find it and the others on the related tab
Man...Phil X is amazing, but Dan is killer on the low end too!
That guitar sounds great
Rock On :)
I hope bubbs is doin great , cheers from Australia
That tone dang
that guitar and you of course!! ripppp!
really cool guitar!
Carl Thompson is also famous for building guitars for Lou Reed
spidey kicks ass!
Kent refers to this particular design as his Rocker. A thick, rich, high output humbucker that retains the tonal quality of a vintage patent applied for yet has more drive and crunch. Great for rock and other medium to heavy gain applications and an excellent neck compliment to the WPU10. 4 conductor wiring allows coil splitting, series/parallel, phase inversion, and more.
yes.. Phil X strikes again...!! Beautiful Carl Thompson woodie...... bad Spider Man..LOL
Phil you put the fun back in Rock-n-Roll ! Song request Triumph / Rock-n-Roll Machine. 1966 Kicks Ass.
Just thought I'd point out that the song at the end is Live On The Moon, but advertised as Helicopter
That American Woman tone was so freakin nice.
7:17 American woman... Just amazing !
Awesome...
Simply the best!!! ;-)
Coolest guitar i have ever seen . Kinda look like bass tho
Makes me think of Garcia's Alembic guitars when I look at it.
fuckin legend right here
Kent Armstrong sure knows how to make a pickup!
Hehe. You put Helicopter when that was Live on the Moon. Come on Dustin!! lol
I caught that Rat Bat Blue riff at the beginning. I basically jam that riff everytime I pick up my guitar.
That drumsound is orgasmic...
Love love love it. Lots of hate about the looks, but I dig it. Tone is killer. I will agree that it may be too thin for many.
Hey man, its Phil X. WHAT?!?..... Yeah, Phil X
Any chance you could review some flying Vs! They are and always will be the coolest looking guitars
I need those Spidey chords
Does Carl still make Guitars? I’d like a guitar made with his level of talent and artistry.
Damn!!! Cool Spiderman tune!! Hope it's gonna be on the new CD?
See that descending chromatic run over the A minor chord in Spiderman? That's the same one they're trying to sue Jimmy Page for on Stairway to Heaven. What dya think, right or wrong?
Yeah I tend to agree with you. But the top line in the stairway case makes it more clear cut. Whenever I listen to classical radio I hear stuff that has been ripped... I kind if presume everyone has done it for centuries!
Strange design because if those pickups are active then a battery compartment should be on its own and easily accessible without the need to take the front plate off but, active pickups would be a good option on such a thin body but I guess all that rosewood on the neck could balance the tone out to give it that darkness.
Ooo lou reed guitar!
What's the name of the song he played after Spider-man when he said "Battery" ?
You mean that Led Zeppelin song "Whole Lotta Love"?
altitudes00
Yes that's the one, thank you man!!
ya, its a rare one....not surprised you weren't familiar with it......
wow
No need for all that man, he might just be young or couldn't remember the song name from the riff alone. Not everyone has heard it a million times, and I'm just glad people are still interested, especially these days.
Could you please play some Ritchie Blackmore licks on your next video, Phil?
Fk yeah! Spiderman!! Cool jazzy PhilX version but you gotta hear the cover by the Ramones! Its one of my faves from way back!
10:32 Phil was going Boxxy on us.
Love the sound and body, but hate the head stock. The Carl Thompson emblem looks like a badge!
Thats because its a badge of approval
S-Bomb not Woofed out at 5:55!! Yo what up Swear Squad????!!!
Wait, you said they were playing helicopter at 12:20, but they played live on the moon...
man, this is the kind of guitar Lou Reed played
Why is the headstock the size of a frying pan?
So, are those active pickups or not?
Which guy from HIMYM? :D
PHIL YOU BEAST!!!! ok between us dude... you constantly on speed.. RIGHT???
lolololololololololol
luv ya man!!!
Carl Thompson should do a Phil X custom! Right Right Right??? Thought so... Reminds me of the B.C. Rich Mocking bird.💩Oops said too much..... Chow bro... Rock out! 👏👏👏👏👏5 claps award! Sincerely: David Paul Rivera
3:33 Diablo II ? :D
"Theres no Eb its F"
way to go phil xD
F would be E# actually, he misspoke when he said their's no such thing as Eb.
It says helicopter before they jam but the name of song is live in the moon
I just really want to like hang out with phil, that'd just be aawesome
I played a Carl Thompson bass once. I was not worthy.
I wanted to hear little wing...
How much is it?
My dad never sang Spiderman to me... Just told me: "shut up and get to bed you little shit!"
Who plays this "spiderman song"?
Eb and F are to entirely different notes. They aren't enharmonic. I think you mean E# but even then there is a place for E#s i.e. the key of C#maj.
Is this the guitar I found on ebay a while ago? :(
Ouch
+AdequateGaming Yeah, I saw it going for about $3000
spiderman album version plz
gotta learn me that spider man lol
Fun fact : les claypool of primus plays Carl Thompson basses
we had no idea
barryismygod Thanks I watch these guitar demos on mute so I didn't hear him say that like a minute into the video.
It's spiderpig!
Helicopter ×
↓
Live On The Moon ⚪︎
holy shit spider MAAAAN
Can't wait to diddle the moon!
For the look of the guitar, for most it's a hit or miss situation, personally I think it's sexy as hell,
Silly FrettetedAmericana...helicopters don't live on the moon. =P
Kent Armstrong Super Rockers (passive) humbuckers $54.
WHAT ????!!!!!!! no Spidey SOLO ?????
8:54 You're welcome.
Customer: So I want you to make me a PRS, but like a bass, and less attractive, and use every wood you can find so I can get all the tonez. Oh and how about some EMG-ish PUs to top it off.
Carl Thompson: Let me see what I can do
Off course it sound great in Phil's hands. Oh well....they cant all be bursts.
Great vid as always!
lol drink some tea
Who thinks that they should do a cover of this song and put it in the new drills record
Totally missed a censor in there! Hah!
that guitar looks like something Lou Reed would play.
I think I've seen him play this with Metallica at the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame performances a few years ago
i want spider man on the next drills record
