  • This is one of two LTD VIPERS that Phil uses regularly. You can see it on stage with him when he toured with Bon Jovi as well as numerous live videos and photos on stage with the DRILLS. This guitar has been on several recordings and is on of Phil's "go to" Axes. This Guitar is not for sale, we just thought you'd like to hear and see a less expensive guitar in the hands of the expert and through the Evil Robot C-30!! Enjoy!

    it IS my pickup. it used to be a Gibson P94 and now it's a PX100 made by Arcane.
    why do people want to argue with me??? oh yeah... that's right... they know
    me and my gear better than i do. hahaha

    Phil X must be the wish of every guitar dealer on the planet. His guitar playing is out of this world but more than that he is a charismatic sort of guy. His mum must be so proud of him.

    @IvanTuroc 12 лет назад +2

    I agree; I have an old Les Paul "recording" model and the ebony fretboard is the best fretboard I have ever played. It is fast and easy to the fingers. It indeed is a little less warmer than my newer Les Pauls with rosewood fretboards. The only problem I have ever had with ebony is the frets occasionally "raise up" on one end or the other.

I like the vipers sound, im just stubborn about Gibson haha. Thanks for the reply man, didn't think you responded to stuff. You're a good guitarist and have influenced me a bit from these vids and also The Drills. Keep rockin.

    The old saying "You can't judge a book by its cover" applies to Mr.X. Although he appears to have been hangin' at the Off Ramp club in Seattle 24/7 since 94',getting his fair share of poontang by singing Hunger Strike or Jeremy aloud to the jukebox,that simply isn't the case. Phil is a plethora of riffology and can make any electric guitar from the 50's to the present wail. Great source for finding that guitar/pick up combo you always wondered about. Best wishes,Rock on!
