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.
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
@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.
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 ;-)
@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!
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.
@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.
@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...
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
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.
@hebijebi03 well, I was always taught that the world would be a much nicer place that if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything :-)) we are just trying to entertain and have some fun (well maybe to sell a few instruments too !! - but where's the harm in that?)
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!
I need this guys energy!
WE BLEW A LIGHT! That was awesome. His energy totally destroyed that light. Rock on Phil X.
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 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 . . .
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.
Hey, I was just felling crappy and then I started watching another of your videos. Cheered me right up. :)
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!
Phil X rocks! Loving his demos! Gotta start saving my pennies.....
Nice. Even on youttube "compromised" audio, you can still hear how natural and relaxed it sounds compared to the modern version.
The best review on the tube
so much energy that he shorted a light bulb
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
Phil just love the love the blues licks

i dont see why phil x gets so much shit, he's badass :D. He probably does the best guitar reviews on youtube.
Phil is awesome and his reviews are great and better than most of the others online.

Love the shirt.
And uhm, oh yeah, EPIC GUITAR!
Your awsome, will get same guitar today =D
@sgvslp it means people who can't do, crap on those who can!
Now that's tone!
Hahaha Phil really reminded me of Jack Black when he said "WE BLEW A LIGHT! WITH OUR ROCK AND ROLL!".
Dude i just watched your video.... YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING!!
I love how this man instantly goes from aerosmith to led zeppelin in the blink on a eye! does it get any better? haha
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.
Hey Phil, Great video! You need a StringRayTool for this beauty when it comes to re-stringing!
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 have infinate man love for you Phil X. The straight kind i swear.
man, this is some entertaining shit. I want this guy on a leash in my room to entertain me when i get glum.
at first i thought he was annoying, but he's actually great!
This guy is so fucking amazing
Phil strike again...long time I've no hear this Stray Cats song...good to remember...

Amazing
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 phil nice stray cat strut that was awesome :D love the vids
What is there to dislike?!! How can you bring yourself to click such a button?
STRAY CATS :D
You just got one upped in my book.
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.
I wish i could shred like u!
@hammer59700 You mean the one after Walk This Way? It's Bring it on home by Zep.
this made me pick up my gretsch :)
what is the song he's playing? can't remember the name
whats the song by the stray cats (or brian setzer, idk who it was by)?
the name is Stray Cat Strut, phil it's so cool
wish you would teach you how developed such good ears! you can play anything!
searched gretsch and this was the first video... trust
how do you know all these different parts of different songs!? sooo many
the drills ?
this guy rocks for real .. really if someone ask me my favourite singer i Will say Steve X :)
@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"
What song is it, starting 03:30? I really loved it.
@LostLustify WOW....you are missin' out!!!!
cuando vas a unprobar un hoffman y soldano slo con les paul custom
@hebijebi03 well, I was always taught that the world would be a much nicer place that if you can't say something nice, then don't say anything :-)) we are just trying to entertain and have some fun (well maybe to sell a few instruments too !! - but where's the harm in that?)
anyone no the name of the song at 8:56?
this is a fucking great guitar!
Nice man! :)
what's that aerosmtih riff?
Sounded fine to me.
What's the riff at 8:50 ? Thx
Very cool
@SwissRocker32 The song is "Stray Cat Strut"
ese chavón está muy loco ja ja ;)
dream guitar :(
@Elnonopololo Thanks for your help, it was Walk This Way... I couldn't remember it name. ;-)
lmao, Thats what happens when someone as badass as Phil X plays Zeppelin! Lights can handle the level of awesome.
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 ?
keep it up phil and frettedamericana! your videos make me laugh fucking hard
they're nice as fuck!
@frettedamericana ohhhhhhhhh thanks :D
Any info on the blond 335 behind/next to him?
Jack Black's little bro???
