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
I like how you can see that this guitar is like an old pal to him and not just another million dollar museum piece that he's just playing for the camera.
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.
This guy has bucket loads of talent and was well impressed when seeing him play with Bon Jovi at the Isle of Wight festival, big boots to fill covering Richie and he does it so well!
I have a 301 viper too! I wrap all the strings and put graphite saddles on and it helped a lot. Solid Mahogany, rosewood board, duncan 59 and Jazz, a coil tap, and locking tuners. I love it!
Shout out from Moncton, Newbrunswick! Great job Phil! You should open for Springsteen here this summer! :) ...or at least put a show on here in the Maritimes soon!

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.
We will make sure to give ALL the details of the meeting of the giants.. Phil X and Rob Chappers as soon as all the details are ironed out.... Should be very soon, we are working very hard to bring you this epic collision!!!!
I had that happen to me man, bought a new SG faded couple years ago, forgot to grab my strap with straplocks, and after about 20 minutes she fell and headstock took a clean break. 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.
Phil, I also have the same LTD Viper as you (I think, as far as i can tell from yours) and i'd like to get your PX90's but on your site they are only shown in regular P90 shape, do you also stock ones like yours in humbucker form?
Pretty awesome. I remember a Guitar One article years ago where Neal Schon did the same thing cuz no one really knew what Eddie was doing at the time so he just picked the arpeggios.
Awsome as usual guys!! Whatever became of the Yamaha PhilX model? Just a rumor? or future reality? It sounded like it would be an awsome player. Thanks.
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!
Wow. Phil X mentions Andertons, which also makes UA-cam videos featuring my "other favorite" UA-cam guitarist, Chappers. This is like Batman mentioning the X-Men or something. Crossover heaven!
dear mr x once again ! very entertaining ! kudos! regards, fender "plus" 1996 best bang for the buck !........ you can jump up and down on the damn thing ,and it stays in-tune ..( except in weather change .)hehehe

Dude, what an intro to a guitar review!!
Are you guys working on any drills stuff?
ive NEVER seen Eruption played like that before, thats amazing
jerry jah woah sounds like someone pee peed in your corn flakes.
+jerry jah Phil X is a seasoned Session Player. Of course he plays with a sense of timing.
I photographed the guitar about a year ago, was way before the new pu's were installed
I love this guys personality.
Phil X good sir... you are very underrated for your work... so i shall say from now forth that Phil X is my favorite guitar player of all time!
Phil your videos always keep me very motivated to stick with guitar through times when I feel frustrated with it.
It is amazing how a PhilX video pushes my day into a positive direction.
PHILLLLLLLL....I just drove to Raleigh NC to see you play this guitar and never saw you pull it out....I was bummed!!!!
I like how you can see that this guitar is like an old pal to him and not just another million dollar museum piece that he's just playing for the camera.
dude, i love watching your videos! damn i laugh my ass off! your an amazing talent! one of the best ever!
I have always loved this video. It was fun to revisit it.
Awesome looking guitar dude!! Mr Steelgrave really looked after you ha ha...
See you soon dude \m/
Chappers
Always entertaining and a class player.

JUST LOVING THAT YOU ARE WORKING WITH ANDERTONS! My two favourite youtubechannels coming together! Its like a dream! :D
I have a 301 viper too! I wrap all the strings and put graphite saddles on and it helped a lot. Solid Mahogany, rosewood board, duncan 59 and Jazz, a coil tap, and locking tuners. I love it!
Best and funniest episode yet. Phil you never cease to blow my mind. That intro was all PICKED!! No taps! WTF!
I met phil today in vegas, still hard to get over how cool he is, he's such a nice guy.
I shop in Andertons all the time, was the biggest surprise to see your face on a huge TV in there the other day!
Shout out from Moncton, Newbrunswick! Great job Phil! You should open for Springsteen here this summer! :) ...or at least put a show on here in the Maritimes soon!
I'm looking forward to seeing the video with you, captain lee and Chappers! My 3 favourite UA-cam people on one video! Awesome!
Hey Phil, when are you going to Andertons? Would be great to catch you and the guys there sometime!
I installed the PX100 in my Epiphone Wilshire with a 50s style wiring setup and it sounds AWESOME!! Thanks for putting these up for purchase, Phil.

Pleaseeeeeee come to the UK Phil and bring The Drills, I wanna see you guys live soooooooooooooo bad!
Dude, the beginning of this video is awesome.
Was having a shitty day, decided to watch Phil X because i knew it would put me in a good mood :)
Most Professional Musician singer I've seen .In ages ... Killer Talented MAN wow
I get tired just watching Phil X
Wish I had half his energy!
TFS
Nice work, some of the best playing yet. Saw the Evil Robot on the Uk website a while ago too.
I had that happen to me man, bought a new SG faded couple years ago, forgot to grab my strap with straplocks, and after about 20 minutes she fell and headstock took a clean break.

Solo at the end was FREAKING AMAZING!! PURE ROCK, MAN!!!
There is something very satisfying hearing those licks with super dry tone. No hiding behind Large Hall reverb - I want to hear the strings squeal!
Nice videos, what a nice dude!
I love how you guys are maintaining a business but would be willing to do something fun for your youtube fans as well. Good job frettedamericana
. . .that first 30 seconds destroyed my mind
I noticed they were on the Andertons website. Can you get them in Canada by chance? Man, I'd love to check one out and pick it up.
Congratulations. Were so proud of you.
You know what, if I go to hell and Phil is shredding on that Viper in the background, that would be just swell...
Dear ESP Guitar Corp.
You really have to make a Signature Model Phil X Viper with all the stickers and all that stuff.
This guy DESERVES it!
Wow, that's definitely one of my top 3 favorite rhythm tones of all time. I have to get one of those pickups!
I like how the scream at the end of the video lines up perfectly with the one in the song, almost at the same pitch aswell!
Thanks FA and Phil-x! really diggin the viper
X, Chappers, Capt Lee = You Tube GOLD!
That awesome moment when my two favorite guitar reviewers team up x)
Phil is always excellent with the classic guitars but his playing is amazing when he steps it up with a guitar he is comfortable with
It's a P94 by Gibson, they are fitted to humbucker format.
He also has a signature pickup made by arcane you can purchase from his website. :-)
To me, one of the most talented of our days. He got your Soldanos, Marshall and Vox all in his hands :D
i love how phil x is always so excited!!
First minute of playing made my jaw drop. Pure talent. :)
That is such a good sound he has, gotta love a simple guitar that just rocks out.
very interesting how you string your guitar
Phil, I also have the same LTD Viper as you (I think, as far as i can tell from yours) and i'd like to get your PX90's but on your site they are only shown in regular P90 shape, do you also stock ones like yours in humbucker form?
that's not a Gibosn P94. i say in the vid it's my Arcane PX100 and yeah... it'll be available on my site this week. thanks
Pretty awesome. I remember a Guitar One article years ago where Neal Schon did the same thing cuz no one really knew what Eddie was doing at the time so he just picked the arpeggios.
Every time I see a Phil X video I get a contact high.
The Drills and Dorje do Canada and UK tour....? :D
Kickass at the end!
7:03 Oh man we've all been there.
Awsome as usual guys!! Whatever became of the Yamaha PhilX model? Just a rumor? or future reality? It sounded like it would be an awsome player.
Thanks.
2016
And we still don't know what colour is under those stickers
Hello me from the past
I think its the woodburst finnish
You can see a little bit of orange next to the tone nob when it zooms in
it was white or a cream
It's brown you can see it in some places the stickers came off and he also told it in other video's :)
peop102

thanks for asking keepem coming
Black
those will be available soon.
good job on that guitar man, very nice tone phil x
LOVE IT !!!
Prob. sound killer through my 71 superlead !!!
Im buyin 1 this weekend !!!!
Thanx Bro \m/
@beoash YESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!
Hahaha I never saw it played without tapping... Hahaha... it looked like some classical stuff...
Tks So MUCH!
OMG phill owns at guitar, what solo is that, hes pure amazing!!!!!
Is there a PX90 with dogear cover coming? Would be neat to be able to drop one into a Les Paul Junior without having to go all Frankenstein on it.
Hey Phil... can you show that crazy sliding lick you do slowed down? The one that starts at 11:00... thks
Jesus Christ, you killed it at the end. I see a couple of guys named James and Kirk play the ESP's too.
the drills and dorje should do a little mini tour would be sweet!
what an insane start to a vid
You sir are my favorite person ever
Phil always clears out my sinus's
AMAZING.....but can you try a gibson flying v?
maybe a 68 model.....like the hendrinx one.
It would be AWESOME!!!
thanks guys
the cars-just what i needed

OH MY GOD YES! ROB AND PHIL JAM PLEASE!!
Wow. Phil X mentions Andertons, which also makes UA-cam videos featuring my "other favorite" UA-cam guitarist, Chappers.
This is like Batman mentioning the X-Men or something. Crossover heaven!
Dude you gotta let everyone know when you're in UK!! I can get to watch anything you guys do within a couple hours! would be awesome
This is great!! It makes me want to buy the LTD Viper 10 that I wanted to buy it
Love that p90 pickup, sounds great.
If you mean the one from the beginning it's Eruption by Eddie Van Halen
PLEASE DO YOUR OTHER LTD THE ONE WITH THE FLOYD ROSE AND LONG WHAMMY BAR, THANKS :))
Phil X , Chappers and the Cap.n the best fun a guitar playing guy can have on the tube!
The best study break from Finals Week!!!!
-from a grateful college student
want to see Chappers review the evil robot, awesome
this is my dream guitar! it is unreal!
Damn Phil! You rocked this one! Keep it up man.
Top form - loved it! yea!!!
I'm so excited. :D Rob Chappers, Cap and Phil X
rock yeah!
i went to philxstore website and its down, is it down for good or is it just a hiccup, cause i want to check out that pickup. Peace
shows near andertons?!?!?! hell yes!
i am in ottawa..will we be getting some evil robots here? i am pretty sure there is a good market for a 6v6 powered amp.. not lots out there..
I'm holding you to that! My Junior has been begging for it!
Is the EVR c30 also coming in a head version? That would probably make me want to buy it..!
we want a review of the PRS!!!! right back!!
dear mr x
once again ! very entertaining ! kudos!

fender "plus" 1996
