- Synchromatic 400 Acoustic Archtop 6040 (sunburst), 6041 (blond).
Collectibility Rating: Early archtop model: B, later models: C-.
Introduced in 1940 to compete with Gibson's popular Super 400, the opulent Synchromatic 400 featured an 18" wide, non-cutaway body with maple back and sides; double bound cat-eye sound holes; stairstep "synchrosonic" bridge; "chromatic" harp tailpiece; pickguard with white and gold sparkle binding that almost covered the treble sound hole; white and gold sparkle fingerboard and body binding; 26" scale; gold plated parts; 5 piece neck of maple and rosewood; ebony fingerboard; slanted script "Gretsch" logo; crossed "Synchromatic" chili-pepper inlay ornament; and slashed humptop block inlays.
It was a beautiful Art Deco masterpiece.
In 1947, Gretsch introduced a flattop version called the Synchromatic 400F, similar to the 1940-1954 Synchromatic 400 except for its flat top, triangle sound hole, and improved ebony bridge and tailpiece.
Playing Stairway and Singing AC/DC, someone get this man a Nobel Prize please.
"Just because it's an acoustic doesn't mean we can't rock out."
So true. I love that Hendrix rendition!
That LedZep. / ACDC part was freaking awesome.
Phil isn't just a guitar player or just a demo guy
Phil X has to be one of the coolest musicians I know
Phil X your insanely good.. i dont think il ever quick guitar aslong as you keep playing! you give me heaps of motivation to keep on practicing.
In my opinion, Phil is GREAT not because of skill, but because of fun in his playing and love to guitar. I see in his playing the same thing as in Tom Morello, Eric Clapton, Steve Vai, etc. He love to do it ;D And it's really great!
Phil X always fascinates me...somebody should give him a humanitarian award or a noble prize...he's the shit!!!!
Phil X , You are "THE MAN"!!!
I nearly fell out out of my chair during that last song...lauging so hard.
Was having a bad day...but then you brought me back.
You F$%ing Rock, and have the best attitude of any human I have ever witnessed.
Needless to say, I really enjoy your "Work", and you inspire me to practice...more.
Thank you for....what you provide.

How many of you knowing his personality saw this video and thought "Him on an acoustic? I have to see this!" XD

Long live Phil X. The King of the Guit'. We should all practice more watching him. Happy New Year All. T23

Although these videos are all about guitar reviews, Phil makes it quite entertaining! Thanks Phil!!

I think this is your best review ever. I loved the Jimi acoustic version AWESOME
The first time a guitarist has played Wonderwall and I didn't cringe. He didn't even know the lyrics either. Phil X is a god.
So much for my ears, you are cool phil..¡¡¡
Love his personality. Phil you are an absolute hoot! You can play and your so funny!
Phil saves my day every time i look at him :D
Wow TNT and Baby I'm gonna leave you really works together

Singing Oasis! Rare and great Phil X!
Man, I know this is cliche, but I was having a really shitty day, and Phil X cheered me up.
This my favorite phil x video so far! Phil is such a hoot.
Damn this video has no waste! The awesome sound of that guitar, AC/Zeppelin, Phil's country barks, and that fantastic Purple haze... god I love this
i wishi knew half the songs phil x does.....this guy is sick!!!!
best crosstown trafic cover EVAR !
KABOOOM! I think Phil set the bar at a new level with that vid. Bloody great. Oh....and that acoustic has a great tone.
being able to play with ones' fingers is more important than with a pick
the intimacy of fingerpicking and acoustic instruments is unparalleled in the electric world
Unbelievably talented guy. I got no girls going oooohh. Iv just thrown my guitar in the bin.
that country song whent right of it rocked especially with dog barking cutting out the swearing phill x you are ruffin cool
Hahahaha this guy is my GOD!! Phil X, your amazing, and your my inspiration, and you just make everybody want to get a guitar and start playing

Phil you rock like hell man!! Always cool to look at your videos!!
That Purple Haze shit was gnarly. dude, phil x kicks ass.

Excuse me, that I say it in German:
Das Stairway / Highway to Hell Ding ist der Hammer. Und bei der Fingerpicking AC/DC Übung habe ich mich endgültig kaputt gelacht Super!
Great Stuff!
LENNY!!! This guy is awesome.
you make me start thinking ACDC should have made some acustic things....yeah we all know they shouldnt but your versions sound so amazing
Phil X .... im a fan
Epic voice and guitar skills! D:
Thanks for the vid PhilX (and Fretted Americana ofcourse)! I've seen about all of the vids by now and although i stumbled upon your videos because of my strathritis, i think this is one of my favorites.
Thanks for the hours of positive emotions you've brought to me and other people around the globe!
As always, this is fun, addictive and i learn a lot from you PhilX - this is how school should have been :D

You just blow my mind!
