Every time I hear Phil X demo a type of guitar I don't own, I immediately start wanting one. DAMN YOU PHIL X!!!
Seriously though, this thing sounds amazing. It does the humbucker thing and still has plenty of Fender clarity. Must be the old-school Wide Range pickups.
That's just a Tele for you...clarity. The semi-hollow also helps it on that clean side, IMO, and taking out some of the unnecessary bass frequencies for electric guitar in a band mix---it's a mid range instrument, just add some highs and go!
Semi-hollow with humbuckers gives you strong drive sounds, but still retains clarity, and still beautiful cleans---also at loud volumes allows for the magic feedback to come in faster. I think it's the most versatile guitar, period...
I dropped the pole pieces out of the back of mine and slightly raised the ones on the front. It sounds even more oldschool now. I may add them back in on one of the pups-we’ll see. It’s a super versatile guitar.
@@neils891 i got one...i mostly play telecaster and i decided to buy the '72 thinline, natural finish too......mine is the classic vibe serie, alnico humbacker pickups, not the cunife.....oh god, the first day i played it i was dissapointed, it seemed to be an useless guitar, was about to give it back, but i finally kept it with me sayin' to myself "ok, it'll be my battle guitar"....so i was, day to day, knowin' more about the versatility, about its particular tone, its particular dynamic, its sound....jazz, gipsy jazz, raw delta blues sound (bridge pickup, awesome) funk, classic rock stuff, country......after one year i couldn't leave the guitar in its case....i tried 10's and 11's 'cause it brings 9's out of the box....it works fine with 10's (it's a bit harder than solid body teles to play, the strings become heavier in a 72 thinline, somethin' that i noticed) well, what i mean to say is that this guitar has to be the most underrated guitar ever......i think the reason why it is not much popular is because when you first play it is not what expected, you may find it useless and you don't get its magic touch....that's, at least, what happened to me.....i couldn't live without it nowadays.....a funny point about my thinline is that i changed to cunife pickups and after one month i put the alnico squier ones back on it....love it to the bone
Come back Phil X RUclips NEEDS YOU!!
John Bon Jovi doesnt think so :-)
Love this dude. The real deal and so down to earth. Not to mention his taste in music!
Having watched a LOT of these videos I think this is one of the best sounding guitars so far!
Phil X should be a Harvard Professor of Rock 'n Roll.
Michael Hanson - the Felix Frankenfurter of fucking Fenders.
Agree!
I've gotta hand it to you, dude. You make these videos informative and fun, they inspire me to get playing myself. But specifically about your playing, you have a great combination of pure technique and feel. Your improvisation is great, your note selection is tasteful and your solos are melodic, not just speed-wanking. It's the way I try to play every time I pick up the guitar. No memorized licks and showing off. Just pure fun and love for the music.
Love this dude been watching last few days man great guy/player lol .. u really got me!!
It might have been really badly timed, but that all along the watchtower jam was magic! wow...one of the best guitar players you have never heared of for sure!
This guitar and the Vox sound amaaaaazing.
His version of All Along the Watchtower at 6:00 is beautiful
most definetly
Yup. I'll be coming back to this one.
1:00 for people who dont like Tele's
That's what you call being 'high on tone'.
I'm wondering how the guy in the back on the mixer is so calm and not busting up or in awe of the stuff Phil X is doing.
HE DOESNT DO FUCKING DRUGS HE IS JUST LIKE THIS ALL THE TIME!!!!!!!!!!!
doodoo
im guessing your comment was actually for john?
rb264ag Yes
doodoo Yea I got to meet Phil X at the Anaheim NAMM Show about 3 yrs ago, seemed more serious then while demo'ing the Evil Robot amps, but perhaps just tried from his 3rd day there. He was still amazing and a lot of fun.
nothing phases engineers
Haven't watched him in a while. He still sounds bad ass.
How can you not love Phil X!!!!!
Phil, your playing kicks ass and I love how you can do a demo so off the cuff.
I like the energy Phil plays with, you rock bro I be buying your album,
Sometimes I play guitar and I think, "I am pretty fucking good at this."
Then I watch this guy, see he can play ANYTHING and I think, "I am a fucking talentless hack."
Fucker...
I think a vintage 70's Tele Thinline will be my next guitar purchase. I've always wanted one. I like how the tone is somewhere between the brightness and twang of a Strat and the midrange punch of a Les Paul. It's kind of like the best of both worlds.
Because thats the way he likes to play. Everyone has the way they like to play, and he seems to be doing just fine.
Jodeer.. La felicidad que transmite este tipo es impresionante, You are the best Phil :Dlml
7:15 describes basically everything I've ever played on guitar....hahaha [really crying inside]
8:51 if he had just played all minor, he would've nailed the opening riff to "No One Knows" by Queens of the Stone Age!
Killer Riff, Killer Sound! Good job Phil and of course FrettedAmericana! Cheers from Italy!
Awesome sound this studio is putting out. Props for that.
i love the fact that this dude is having so much fun and the guy in the back doesn´t give a dam
So happy Phil grew out of this Saturday night live phase 🤷♀️
The AC30 is godly! That really nice compression and complexity - makes it really detailed without being shrill in any way.
This guy nails everything!
It's not being forced, that's how he's always been. It's to keep an energy going, like a more interesting personality. If you ever see him talk when he's not doing these reviews he's actually pretty calm and he's real down to earth.
GAWD DAMN THAT SOUND IS DIVINE
this comment section is a time capsule
Mixture of both. Both those teles put out a great classic rock tone. I had a tele deluxe myself.
2 hours of sleep + 3 red bulls = Phil X in this vid for sure.
wooww, that telecaster sounds soo cool *-*!! I wish have a telecaster
What a character... Such a nice change from some of the "I'm SO cool cause I do reviews on RUclips" guys out there, and I love how broad a range of musical interests/guitar styles he has too.
If money was no object, would buy this right now.
This and the 63 Firebird omg the best guitars ever!
Love the use of the looper!!! More please!!!
That first tone you played in the middle pos vox reminded me of your favorite Eagles guitar solo tone at first.
I ain't complaining! Nice one Fretted Americana!
Thanks! I have been looking for that song so long now :)
He is a really funny.guy, it's one reason I keep coming back
Jesus ,even when Phil's just messing around and fluffs it up, it's still a trillion times better than I'll ever be!!! Damn!
talk about a guy that has fun playing guitar
dude, you got balls, i will give you that. it's just phil's way. i know it can be tough to get past sometimes, but phil is like the crazy, goofy friend we all have. can be a but much to handle at times, but worth it. hang in there bro, you'll come around.
A tele, seth lover pickups, a cranked ac-30, and she sells sanctuary. Best. Demo. Ever.
Such an incredible player.
Has Phil done something to his face? he looks different but is still the best thing about youtube ever.
everytime I think I've seen all your tricks you've got a new one :) Rock on brother
Never heard of you before but holy shit your entertaining!! And obviously a great player but real fun like it should be,rock on PHIL X !
YES! PHIL ANSWERED MY REQUEST FOR A DIMED VOX AC30! Give him your requests, he really listens!
beautiful all along the watchtower solo
Phil X Before Sleep? Hell Yeah!
Is there anything Phil can't play? Damn! I wish I could play half as good!
Oh my that little All along the watchtower jam was honestly incredible
I have a thinline tc90..it has p90s and is killer. Thanks Phil...love to see what these vimtage axes can do!!
This Guy could be Sammy Hagars Brother.
I think Phil is hillarious. Can play too!
I'll have what he's having
shockingly enough, i hear this guy is straight edge. Guess he's the only person in the world who's actually "high on life"
I love the contrast between PHIL X!!!!! and the guy on the desk trying to work; his total immunity to PHIL X!!!!'s charisma makes it way funnier for me
Philly, whatever it is you’re looking at... I want some of it! 😁
i didnt think id like this but was pleasantly surprised
I like phil x's demo style...when in doubt shred it out. Words are for beginners!
Phil is infectious. Fucking Awesome!
The man wants to have fun, and he's doing this...I hate when someone comes here and talks about Phil but doesn't know anything about him.
This is the best humbucker pickup Fender ever made
Great sounding guitar. Especially through that cranked AC30 (which sounds magical!!)
He plays so clean
Phil , it's a good thing you play so well. You knew nothing about the Widerange pickups ( CuNiFe) , no longer available. Anyway I'm not slagging you, you're a great player and fun person. I did have to laugh at your ignorance of this sought after ender model. Cheers.
We have Lollar replicas that are perfect as good as the original fenders correct magnets the whole deal
Found it funny how Phil kept apologizing for messing up...yet I thought he nailed everything and sounded badass XD
That sounds like an awesome Southern rock tone with the switch in the middle. (5:03)
Sound really great man.
one of the best sounding guitars you ever had at fretted americana
gorgeous all along the watchtower solo man, great feel!
I got a japanese lawsuit copy of this guitar. I dug it up after watching this video. I think my copy is equally awesome, can't believe I forgot about it. It just has a minor problem with the neck - it's slightly slanted.
felt like being nice!! enjoy an early bird special!!
Man, Phil was smokin' that day, i just can't help grabbing my guitar and playing along!
You are number 1 ! No question about it ! :)
he's kinda a joke until he starts playing.... "jaw drop"
If by “joke” you mean fricken Awesome! Then I agree...
I understand where you're coming from, sometimes the dude takes it a little too far with his antics, but you can't deny the skill that is behind his personality. Watch some of his older videos and if you don't enjoy his demeanor b/w his playing skip around and listen and listen to the pure genius he produces on his axe. I don't know too many jock rockers who can play Hendrix as well as Phil does or even physically lose themselves in an improvised solo that most guitarist couldn't comprehend.
He is actually in the studio !
Two guitar player who doesn’t get enough recognition are Phil X and Russell John Parrish aka Satchel from Steel Panther.
That's a crazy sick guitar, man!!
i love the watchtower jam he did this in a different video too its mad cool lol
Ngtoryhj grrr h
When you stopped playing Watchtower I was so pissed off. Could've listened to that all day!
Crazy Phil with the crazy fingers
Once you play WRHB's everything else (except maybe Filtertrons) just sounds dark and muddy... Seth Lover truly perfect the HB with the WRHB.
FYI Phill, the reason the WRHB sounds so unique is that it has magnetic pole-pieces (made out of CuNiFe) instead of bar magnets like regular HB's and the wider/bigger sized pup has more magnetic field around the strings. You can almost get that Strat like "boing" and "ping" on the neck or Neck/bridge combo settings and messing with the tone knobs.
I dug it!!! Very cool Phil.
This dude is hilarious and plays fantastic, I'm going to be wasting hours watching the rest of his videos!
Love when Phil does the looper on this vid!
Beautiful rendition of All Along the Watchtower!
this guitar sounds so awesome *___*
That last passage in "Rubber Room" kills!
Fantastic tone!
Philly is a really happy Jim Morrison.
Thank you for finally cranking the AC30. I was wondering when you would do that.
You're welcome. To be more precise, it's the James Gang featuring Joe Walsh on guitar :-))
Reminds me of the metal heads i went to school with
Oh my... Phil X is TOE CUTTER!!!
Dream guitar right here.
I miss him on here
