A Late 1956 HardTail Stratocaster - Refinished in Black With All Original Electrics and Hardware.
1956 Fender Stratocaster (Hardtail).
This late 1956 'HardTail' Stratocaster weighs just 7.00 lbs. One-piece solid alder body, contoured on back and lower bass bout. One-piece fretted maple neck with a typical '56 soft "V" profile and a really wide nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches. 21 medium frets and black dot position markers and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. The body of the guitar has been re-finished in black quite some time ago. Small headstock with decal with Fender "spaghetti" logo in gold with black trim, "STRATOCASTER" in black beside it, "WITH SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO" in black below it, and "ORIGINAL Contour Body" at the ball end of the headstock. Individual 'no-name' Kluson Deluxe tuners with oval metal buttons (stamped inside: "2356766 / PATENT APPLD"). Single butterfly string tree. Four-bolt neck plate with the serial number "14507" between the bottom two screws. Three white plastic-covered black-bottom single-coil pickups with staggered pole pieces and nice balanced outputs of 5.54k, 5.67k, and 5.69k. Single-layer white plastic pick guard with eight screws. Three controls (one volume, two tone) plus three-way selector switch, all on pick guard. White plastic knobs with gold lettering. Fender "Synchronized Tremolo" combined bridge/tailpiece (six-pivot bridge/vibrato unit with through-body stringing). The neck has a pencil mark of "XX-56" (the month has been rubbed away). The potentiometers are stamped "304 633" (Stackpole August 1956). All of the electrics and the hardware are original to the guitar. The neck, which is most probably from a 'Tremolo' guitar has been expertly re-fretted and the fretboard has been re-lacquered. The frets show a little wear but have plenty of 'meat' left. The body refin was most certainly done quite a long time ago - the finish looks old and a little worn - the guitar plays and sounds like a dream. We did consider having Scott Lentz do one of his amazing re-fins but after examining the guitar Scott & I both agreed that this old refin had so much 'mojo' that it would be prudent to leave the decision to the next owner. Housed in a Guardian three-latch, rectangular black hardshell case with black plush lining (9.50). A really great opportunity to get a real (albeit a probable marriage) 1956 'V' neck Stratocaster with all that amazing playability and sound - for a fraction of what an all original example would cost.
The BASS! We are very proud to present this custom ordered Paoletti 'Skybass Nail Series Millesimata'. This wonderful bass weighs 10.60 lbs and features a 14 inch wide, 1 3/4 deep, 'Jazz Bass' style contoured body made from 150-year-old chestnut wine barrels. The body has an oil finish with a thin layer of nitrocellulose, which is enhanced by the placing of 25 brass nails/rivets on the top and 27 brass nails/rivets on the edges. One-piece maple neck with a mahogany 'skunk-stripe', a nut width of just under 1 5/8 inches, a full bass scale length of 34.00 inches and a wonderful medium to thick profile. Maple fretboard with 20 medium frets and chestnut block position markers. Single circular string tree. Headstock with "Paoletti" and "Wine" branded onto face. Individual Gotoh closed-back tuners with 'triangular' metal buttons. Four-bolt neckplate engraved "Paoletti / Made in Italy / Millesimata". Two custom hand-wound Paoletti J-60 single coil pickups with outputs of 6.86k and 7.31k. Brass pickguard with ten screws. Three controls (two volume, one tone) all on brass plate (secured by three screws) adjoining pickguard. Paoletti brass "Cheddite" cartridge shell style control knobs. Gotoh combined bridge/tailpiece with four individually adjustablemetal saddles. This guitar is in mint as new (9.50) condition and is complete with its certificate of authenticity with serial number "18414-15214", signed by Fabrizio Paoletti. Housed in the original Paoletti four-latch rectangular, black leather hardshell case with black plush lining (9.50).
I would want this man to come to any and ALL the parties I ever had! He's a one-man entertainment unit!
That little wing performance was AMAZING.... One of my favorites that the drills have done
You've got that right. One of my all time favourites.
He butchered that song. I don't think he played even 50% of it true to the record
@@dmurphy5852 maybe youre missing the point
@@randylahey2923 peoples opinions of amazing are vastly different it seems
Little Wing is one of the most beautiful pieces of music and I always love the way Phil enjoys playing it.
Best cover I have heard. And that includes all the famous ones, like SRV's and Vai's. Phil just nails the shit out of every note and his band is solid as a slab of lead. Phil's vocals are also spot on.
Man that performance at the end. Phil X really felt the song. Awesome playing as usual Phil!
And Christ at the end, the drums sound SO good, the bass tone is out of this world and of
Course an amazing strat tone
It's Friday Somewhere!
Not even here yet, but Phil rocks any day of the week
haha true. who cares now I just get to here some jams earlier!
Mark Farrow I know man. Can't get enough of Phil.
It is in Sydney Australia! Thanks! :-)
it's friday here. when you wrote the comment the day changed!
Even after watching so much Phil X vids, I am still amazed not only what an great guitarist he is but how well he plays and sings at the same time....
Wow that Little Wing was beautiful
Phil is just amazing.
This was awesome. The guitar is just magical, and hearing it in the studio with other musicians is the way all these guitars should be demonstrated.
HD wide screen was highly appreciated as well.
I was feelin' some Little Wing. AWESOME!!!!
He went to that neck pickup, and laid down the most BEAUTIFUL riff i've ever heard! Amazing Phil X, keep on rocking!
Love the attitude; making great music without taking yourself too seriously; you always look like you're having a great time, keeping it light and fun, and it's awesome how many great songs you cover! Definitely a role model for us "serious" guys!
LOVE THIS! Thanks for making me smile!
Phil X is a great guitarist, but he seems like an awesome dude too.
You cant help but love Phil
Great sounding guitar!
That was an amazing performance of Little Wing.

Phil X keeps on inspiring me with his playing and as a human beeing only bye watching his videos.
Keep doing what you doing cause it's great!
and fuck all those wanna be dudes that critizie you for messing up lyrics or a lick or anything.
Agreed... Great cover. Another one I could listen to all day. I especially love it when Phil tells us all to have a kick ass day. I do after listening to music like this.
That was just plain awesome.
That version of Little Wing is awesome!!! Second only to the SRV instrumental version! ;-)
Great sounding strat! amazing Little Wing cover at the end. My day is going to be kickass!
Phil and strat simply go together, it's that simple
Holy shit!! That guitar sounds amazing!!
You all OWNED that tune!!
Such a great old Tone Box...!56 Strat.. Thanks Phil
Phil has so much fun. Love watching these videos. Oh, and the man can play just a little, too.
Thank you for that rendition of Little Wing. I enjoyed it.
Not too many people can make a guitar sing quite like you can brother.That was awesome !! What a beautiful sounding Strat. Rock on Phil !!!
Fantastic stuff...very entertaining...and I love the Little Wing version...Thank you.
Awesome sound!!! And great song! THX!!
Very cool,both you and the hardtail!
There is some Crazy stuff that I'm addicted to on UA-cam! Who ever thought I'd watch a guy named phil x shred for hours on end?! 😂😂😂
Man that run / lick at 13:10 - 13:14...
DAT little wing jam! Awesome as always!
Really sweet rendition of Little Wing. Nice!
Awesome guitar, awesome demo!
hell yes. don't ever stop making these videos.
Nice drum sounds. Those toms sound wicked.
That was epic! Almost left me speechless!
What a massive tone plugging into that Marshall with the OD pedal!
Miss the Tonemaster !! .... liked the early Vids much more from you !!
super tone and playing ...
I'm more than sure that Jimi is proud every time you cover little wing or any other of his songs! You're just incredible! But when you went into the zone with that little wing improvisation in the middle of the video ... i heard magic coming out of that guitar, i'm afraid to imagine what symphony you would have created if you had the looper too. BTW i think that if you take all your improvisations with the looper you might just have a great album already!!! Thanks for the epicness Phil! YOU have a kick ass day, looking forward to the next vid !!!
Awesome vid, awesome guitar. Really good drumming at the end 2!
Love it when he jams on Little Wing.
Wow smoking on the guitar Phil.
Very nice live performance of my favorite Hendricks song.
Joe's Garage! Phil you are the MAN!
LOVE Joe's Garage (the album) recorded there a few times (the studio).
Honestly, this dude is one of the better rock guitarists on the PLANET, and fat jokes? Wtf.
Rock on man. Haters are gonna hate.
I fucking loved that solo at the end!!! that strat tone!
Little Wing - beautiful, just beautiful...
awesome Phil X
Love the little wing performance boys!
An well done Phil remembering to not push the neck again in the second bend there in the performance ;)
beautiful cover....
Nice job, lads, I really enjoyed that!
OMG this '56 Strat sounds amazing.
Great playing bro this was sick.
Though I have to admit that this JMP is one of the most killer amps I've heard to date!
Monster bass tone !! (little wing)
don't calm down ,,,then you'll start play'n jazz...THE BEST LITTLE WING EVER !
5:55 "Dont Bend.. The Neck on the 56 Strat..!!!" LMFAOO
Wow sound ,beautiful ton , Luck
Phil, I fuckin love you man. You are so inspirational to me and you make guitar so much fun. I was always wondering how you do that single note thing as youre hitting all the strings. Simple for you but so valuable for people that didnt know. Thanks so much
That improv jam in the middle of the vid was sooooo fucking cool.
14:14 just blew my mind. But the whole vid was epic. Keep it rockin Phil X.
What sweet riff around 3:07. Nice!!
9:47 That's half the vibe dude, being less of a production and more of a mini-jam with PX and some fine equipment and a few laughs. We miss you here in non-Jovi land, but can't fault you for the gig. Keep rockin'
Waiting for a fresh Phil X Friday is as long as waiting for a fresh Game of Thrones Episode !
Awesome video, amazing skills as usual. Keep rocking and teaching some of us younger guys some new shit.
Long live rock and roll!
That neck pickup is so sick! \m/
Phil must have practiced playing guitar 12 hours a day for twenty years. He has a great voice and good vibe. Amazing person.
Damn phil ! that improv in the middle, you gotta song right there ! I would so put lyrics on that
Man, Phil! I've never heard a non-Hendrix little wing that I like until now! Well, there was my old buddy Chris' version, but aside from that...
Check out Eric gales’
Phil always kills little wing.. lovvvve it! Rock on
It's friday here and almost gone!
Thumbs up again, I laughed my ass off!
Greetzzz from Holland,

Hey Phil X, Whats up, from New Zealand. Sweet vid, just like the rest. Have a good one man!
Is the tonemaster ever making a comeback? Phil playing that amp was the sweetest sound ever made.
Maybe next session!
Fretted you guys are great! Phil is the best! Hope to get my ass out to your store and buy a new old guitar!!
Y'all should do a demo of that bass! That thing is gorgeous!
God that marshall is beautiful
Phil X can play man!
The Guitar Man!
That neck pickup is delicious.
that jam at 6.03 was inspirational as fuck. totally learning and stealing that.
