1966 Rickenbacker 375 00652

[metamaggot]

 it sounds like a danelectro

[mikewazowski333]

Woah, that neck pickup sounds so much like a strat. Wish I had the money for one of these things. A lot of feedback though. Not sure if that is normal

[One2three4abc]

I really hate dat guy.....

[jkomerol]

Cool man!!!!! 

[crosmas]

Decaf.

[sharpietunes23]

whats that song at 1:05

[killroy135]

@sharpietunes23 Helter Skelter by The Beatles

[herrloop]

Great playing and nice tone. I quite like the enthusiasm too, you can get away with it being from the US of A.

[josh4236]

Bell end

[TheAlmightyBassist]

You and i would get along very well i think haha :)

[RandomFlyingHam]

Whats the song at the start?

[BrunoLS94]

just saying again, but the Helter Skelter performance was something else...

Phil X is truly a natural genius.

Congratulations!

[BrunoLS94]

man, this little piece of Helter Skelter at the begining was just so energical and perfect it just ROCKED ABSOLUTELY.

He made the perfect guitar sound for it. And it was powerful, man.

Who agree and thinks Phil X should record a complete Helter Skelter cover please thumbs up!

[flaperke]

OOOHH!! YEAH!! moron

[Thelittlepumpkins]

I cant find this model anywhere but Youtube. Its kinda sad cuz its the 375 is my most favorite

[MrDzemolada]

Ohh man you are too crazyy :D

[Mudcat007]

A couple of points on the pick-ups & stereo routing configuration. With the selector in the "neck" position both the neck & middle pick-ups are engaged. With the selector in the middle position all 3 pick-ups are engaged. The bridge pick-up is the only one that can be selected individually. When using Ric-O-Sound the front two pick-ups are routed to one output while the bridge pick-up goes to the other.

Hope this info is helpful.

[johnnybabe007]

a miss match!

[montev4]

how old is that tonemaster

[SweetUpDown40]

what amp is he going through? tonemaster i assume?

[wbcjohnlennon]

i really wish i could play that guitar and helter skelter is from 68 not 66

[negativeblacknwhite]

would it be possible to list out a few of the songs that phil plays in the info box?

[Fucas101]

hey man ur really good! i love the rickenbacker and the beatles!!

[countlordshaun13]

That is a freaking beautiful guitar, and I love your energy. I always loved the old school guitars. They just seem to sound so much better.

[obican21]

hahaha this dude is sooo hilarious^^awesome

[Selecta88]

How much are you in love with yourself?

[frettedamericana]

@Selecta88 ever heard of a little something called "ENTERTAINMENT"???

[Jonzey97]

@Selecta88 firstly phils just having fun, and if you don't like it don't watch it simple. knob head!!!!!!!

[austin7956]

this guitar bugs me... it sounds amazing, and has the coolest options and knobs and all that, but it's ugly as sin...but i LOVE it!! im confused o.O

[sweetness11313]

the 375 is basically a 360 with an extra pickup and a trem... i got a a 360 in that same color, its kickass

[homestar2112]

[Gurkan231]

[Gurkan231]

[rickenbacker03]

Love these videos, Phil X is the Guy Fieri of guitars!

[iunnodiapeys]

[renzopogi12]

HELTER SKELTER!!!

damn! Beatle song!!

[mcbob1955]

I had one of these....I loved it....wish I'd never sold it. Just out of curiosity, how much did this sell for>

[bigfish0886]

I hate that tone so much... I HATE IT!!! Because it's so much cooler than mine... KICK IT PHIL X!!!

[TeamXTREMEPANTERA]

what is thename of the song in the intro

[12345l6789]

these demos benefit so much from someone putting energy into playing, rather than some 50 year old playing scales with too much reverb.

Rock on PHIL

[Dorakskel]

that high pitch sound kills

[sirvidia]

when Phil tests a guitar with a vibrato he never effing uses it. USE THE TREMOLO, PHIL!

tell Phil to use the tremolo, guys.

[Michael55443]

Neck pup sounds tits.

[Hustaakkeli]

WANT IT !! 1

[Blaze4LifeProduction]

nice guitar.....cut your hair bro

[lancaster654321]

play some ccr please!

[bbshooter1221]

gregsguitars arent as nice as the ones in these vids besides the bastard doesent even talk wich doesent make the video as entertaining and phil kicks ass because he tells you what he feels what the guitar and comments, etc.

[Corrol132]

The Beatles never played Helter Skelter with a Rickenbacker

[SweetUpDown40]

@Corrol132 who cares, it sounds great

[SanCristoforo09]

que buena viola pero el loco es una piedra

[luegemalda]

häsch echli eine?

[Cloudz2789]

THE SMITHS!

[Schimmoller]

really dude, really, give me that that thing....

[donuntboy25]

BEATLES!!!!!!

[ruaridouglas]

@donuntboy25 Dude...Motley Crue cover, not the Beatles.

[thewushukid7]

you made me smile.

[JCDC12]

This whole video was "what the fuck" literally

[lpoverdrive]

do you sell old guitars only or new ones too?

[frettedamericana]

@lpoverdrive take a look at our website to see our entire inventory

[666RiffsOfDeth666]

@frettedamericana

[frettedamericana]

@666RiffsOfDeth666 yes, sure we do - email us for more information. Info@frettedamericana com

[MwPrice102]

@frettedamericana your my favorite guitar review guy by far. id like to know what ur favorite guitar(s) is

[lpoverdrive]

do you sell new guitars too?

[eleph4nt]

man i like a lot of guitars but i swear i throw up in my mouth everytime i see a rickenbacker haha

at least phil makes it worth watching

[HeyItsCoop]

Since when does Chris Angel play guitar?

[LennMacca93]

YEAH!!!!!! Helter skelter!!!

[mstrtumnus]

BEST DEMO EVER!!! You made me actually laugh out loud, bravo!

[TheFATMAN813]

lmao this is a good video :)

[ryanspeed]

I'm glad this guy likes it!

Sure, Rickenbackers look and sound great but when I tried one here years ago I didn't care for the neck on it. It was almost like it was made for tiny fingers...like something found a kids guitar! Sorry, I cant see busting out over 2K for a guitar that has this kind of playability but then again to each their own!

On the other hand the Rickenbacker bass guitars are awesome!

[Theshamham]

what are those funk chords your playing?

[WoWintosh]

@Theshamham

Probably just ninth chords

[masterpeace96]

I got blisters on my fingers!

[kickinupastorm]

this man is genuinely fucking hilarious

[cootamundra123]

i fucking want to visit that store....

[TheEarl96]

great voice!!

[LEEUMSK8]

the beatles did not use a rickenbacker on helter skelter paul played his epi casino

[cootamundra123]

@LEEUMSK8 it sounds alright on a ric though.

[LWRCftw]

why, may I ask, do you like 1966 so much?

[legumes12]

@LWRCftw that's the year phil was born!

[guslopez12]

I would never lend my 70s fender telecaster to that guy never id rather burn it

[Patsbug66]

i love you dude ur so cool

[demidevil666]

Dude, you're awesome :D I only very, very rarely see a guitarist have so much fun while playing his instrument. But since this thing is 41 years old... How could one not become insane about it.^^

I wish I could play such a thing one day... Or at least a Rickenbacker Bass (4003).

[rickobear64]

@demidevil666 you need to play a 4003!!!! i have 2 of them and wouldn't trade them for the world!!! ;)

[mlweidl]

"66 was a great year

it was ten years before i was born"

tool

[MrCorona64]

@mlweidl Reason he says that is cuz old guitar's are awesome or just because that was the year he was born.

[SophomoricHumor]

@mlweidl he probably meant great year for music...

[greengourleyowens]

OH YEAH. WOO!

[TheBigMclargehuge]

Whats a sign of a youtuber knowing they suck?  When they approve every comment.

[MrReverendgreen]

do you do drugs?

[forshigity5000]

um...never heard a ric played like that

[DalaDos28]

what is the name of the last song that you play?

[jesusofsuburbia44]

HELTER SKELTER!!!

[junhao405]

You have made one of the most annoying review.. Everything guitar you take is overdrive or distortion.. Even a jazz box you distort it.. You should play some jazz solo instead right? You aren't a true guitarist.. Look at gregsguitars.. He might be not details but his playing is way fantastic then this shit..

[frettedamericana]

@junhao405 go hang out at gregsguitars then... Bye!

[kads95]

@junhao405 PhilX is a tock guitarist he plays rock, he shows the diversity of the jazz box in that u can also play rock on it, have fun at gregs!!

[chocolatedonut31]

@junhao405 I looked at ur favoirites and u listen to crap music.

[MrReverendgreen]

@junhao405 ur just jealous this guy is effin good

[TheFrigginParamedic]

This guy and guitar playing just make sense. He's one with the guitar, hahaha. Seriously though.. Love this guitar- Going to need to save for this baby! Rock on, man.

[krazyandrock]

am i the only one that likes his voicE?

[TheBigMclargehuge]

@krazyandrock Probably.

[SweetUpDown40]

@krazyandrock he has a rad voice, heaps versitile

[conslancio87]

I think I'm in love (of the guitar) ¬¬

xD

[Toady373]

Thinking about buying a 375 fireglo....

[rickenbacker67]

woo yeh, i love me , who do you love?

[joesexpistol]

what song is at the very bergining of the video??

[PBANDSNOW]

@joesexpistol great name dude, if u like punk plz check out my channel

[PauloWaters]

I LOVE YOUR REVIEWS!!!!! you're fun unlike the other boring people who fail

[moosmunk123]

i wish they made basses like this guitar

[moosmunk123]

i wish they made basses like this guitar

[ccrholland]

@moosmunk123 They did... The 4005 bass shared this body style.

[CCRockit]

Phil X i must say you have the BEST job EVER XD i suppose you dont make alot of money doing this right?

[samnninty]

i would like to hear a clean tone?

[Geordieboy1990]

What a fuckin sound? that guitar sounds like heaven

[Geordieboy1990]

What a fuckin sound? that guitar sounds like heaven

[L7dreamtheaterfan]

This guy is cool. The kind of guy you would want to play a gig with haha

[MrAlfredocolon]

i played a gig 2 weeks ago and this kid had one and was playing powerchords. and im just thinking what a waste. i wanted to punch another cavity in his

[nielsnielsniels1]

that guy is great! he could even sell that rick to a drummer

[nielsnielsniels1]

that guy is great! he could even sell that rick to a drummer

[00dragonfly]

jwandhistools... What the hell are you talking about ? That is what they are for and Phil X is in no way mistreating these instruments, he rocks.

[hofsteveO]

Love that Guitar...I want one bad........

Oh, and WOO for the vid!!

[letshakehands]

This dudes rockin.

[paultholen]

Haha great stuff, I love how enthousiastic you get from playing these guitars...

[Tripforks]

what the fuck is a rickenbakhker

[fffffcccckkkk]

this guy plays guitars exactly how they're supposed to be played, great videos since they show what the gear can really do. it would be cool if you showed/talked about what amps you're hooking up to.

[indoorgreatman]

I really like you play great sound.

[BiaginiAlessandro]

I love Rickenbackers!!!!

[localbum87]

@jwandhistools I'm guessing a complete idiot would own all these guitars? I'm guessing a complete idiot would have a super successful youtube channel? I'm guessing according to you, Phil doesn't even know how to play guitar? Upload a video that has a better selection of guitars, better playing, more information oh and you kicking Phil's ass? Shut up.

[sgogiz1]

I love Rickenbacker

[TennisNick]

Just thought I'd chime in on the stereo thing - Because the neck and middle pickups are wired together, you get the bridge pickup in one amp, and the middle/neck in the other.

[MrPeteyRocket]

I just wanna cry...

[MyBeardisGood]

I love watching him play. Wish the videos were longer

[ac81017]

I have absolut perfect pitch, and when he says he playing the neck, he´s really playing middle and neck, kinda strat like tone. I would love to here the neck pickup.

[duthies]

Identifying pitch has nothing to do with tone.

[apassageto2112]

absolute perfect pitch? no.... no one has ABSOLUTE perfect pitch... arrogant asshole

[cshargeit]

his amp has a noisy pre-amp--- don't try to sell that amplifier.

[sfeely7]

This is such a refreshing take on guitar reviews. This guy could sell me the shirt off my back.

[MAIJORproductions]

Love the ending, Helter Skelter YEA!

[catfishanthony]

phil u kick ass !!!!!!!!!

[ScarlettStreet]

Haha this guy is immense, he's sold me a youtube subscription indeed.

[marshman500]

gotta love that feedback ringing for the whole video...

[Conbryvas]

surprised when he didn't play a beatles song on the gretsch but instead played it on the guitar john used for rythm

[luckyjinxer]

hmm i like the energy he put into his review, great classic guitar company, Rickenbacker, I want one some day. when i have the spare money.

[badmedicine95]

i dont see what the problem is. guitars are meant for PLAYING!

[honggoon]

@jwandhistools or whatever this dumbass is called...

u think u can say anything u want...

could you please explain to me in what way he is treating those instruments like garbage...

or... maybe u can play better than him...?

then post a vid showing how u treat your VINTAGE INSTUMENTS

i'll be waiting

[SamuelllSabotage]

@honggoon ,

yo dude my bad i meant to reply to that homo dude, lol.

[iRockOrange]

jwandhistools your name says it all you TOOL!

[Drummerdude138]

that neck pickup is awesome

[jwandhistools]

He treats these old vintage instruments like garbage.

The shop owner is either stupid or not paying attention.

Treat my guitar like that I would kick your ass.

[frettedamericana]

Well we are neither Stupid or not paying attention, in fact we know exactly what we're doing... thanks for your opinion, but you're obviously in a great minority..

and FYI Phil is a pretty big Dude.

[jwandhistools]

@frettedamericana

Talk about missing the point...go ahead guys, trash those great guitars. It's your stuff. I would treat those fine instruments like gold. Oh yeah, I'm in a "great minority".

[lespaul72]

in what way is he treating the guitars like garbage???

[scorpia616]

Some art is not ment for hanging on walls, but round a musicians neck, doing what it does best. Think about that.

[Dogdashdash]

They are players guitars.. If they were collectors items I could see your point to a small degree, but they are meant to be played and Phil X plays the shit out of them. Would you just let them sit there in some case or on a wall collecting dust? THAT would be mistreating these guitars. Not playing them..

[Tripforks]

you would be destroying a piece of history douchehole

[Peteworth]

@jwandhistools yeah, god forbid someone actually PLAYS these amazing guitars, instead of keeping them trapped in cases so some rich douche collectpr could have it as a "conversation piece".

[wareaglebabe11]

its called playing guitar... maybe thats what you were comfuzed with...hope i could help...

[AlexJCThompson1992]

man...you are such a douche! yeah his playing looks aggresive but the only thing getting thrashed is the strings(which by the power of zeus you can buy packets of! :O shockhorror!) and occasionally a tuning peg for one of phils rarest of rare eruptions.

[toshineon]

Instruments are made to be played, besides, the strings is what gets the real beating, and I'm pretty sure they have been changed plenty of time.

[Conbryvas]

Hes playing with feeling not like hes throwing it on the ground and beating it up.

[taufoofar]

@jwandhistools I don't see how he treated "thrashed" those great guitars. Guitars are meant to be played, and to be played well and with soul. Sure, treat them like rares, but to treat them like ancient artifacts and put them behind glass panes and display them is more of a sin then wearing them out through playing.

[AlexJCThompson1992]

haha:P "FYI Phil is a pretty big dude" i love it :P straight to the point

[spepper]

@jwandhistools yeah... you should probably stay away from those guitars... let the ones who know touche them ;)

[elskeeper]

jwandhistools , what the hell is your problem? It's a fucking guitar, not a Ming Vase. I'd be proud to let Phil play ANY of my guitars, and I am many years his senior.

I'd bet real money he could run rings around your dumb ass, hence the reason you are so pissy about intsruments that AREN'T YOURS!!!

[ZomBeeZ88]

@elskeeper heeey heeey its not a "fuckin" guitar ok?

[intooblv]

@jwandhistools I know. Heaven forbid that someone actually makes music with these. He acts like they were MEANT to be played or something! Doesn't he understand that vintage instruments are only good to look at?

[localbum87]

@jwandhistools I'm guessing a complete idiot would own all these guitars? I'm guessing a complete idiot would have a super successful youtube channel? I'm guessing according to you, Phil doesn't even know how to play guitar? Upload a video that has a better selection of guitars, better playing, more information oh and you kicking Phil's ass? Shut up.

[localbum87]

@jwandhistools How's your youtube channel going? So I'm guessing you have a BETTER guitar collection? I'm guessing you can play better? Have more knowledge? Do some research on Phil X, the guy craps out credentials. I think you should kick your own ass.

[fffffcccckkkk]

@jwandhistools guitars are for playing, not hanging on walls. ... tough guy.

[f96nini]

@jwandhistools

What do you mean?

I think he treats them like they're supposed to be treated ... ?

[Verbeke1992]

@jwandhistools

You're a douchebag, and I bet you sit and let your precious guitar rot on the wall because you're scared of it being played.

And I'm sure "kicking" isn't what you wanna do to his ass...

[SweetHomeOMine]

@jwandhistools And You Thing Your Early 80s Strat And You Crappy Playing Bouncing Up And Down On Your Knee Is Better

[alaab925]

his job is way too cool, i hope he has a dick of a boss or something....

;_; i want a cool job.

[ARVNpistola313]

Hehe, my favorite Beatles song. HELTER SKELTER!!!

[bananahippo]

fucking love the neck pickup sound

[shimonlimon45]

He's a great reviewer, he's really crazy but that's the cool thing about him ;-)

And he sings quite cool xD

[NeilFraudstrong]

The neck pickup is absolutely ridiculous. You could totally pass that off for a Strat in a recording or use it in place of one in a live show.

[BROOKS39]

Heltar Skeltah was on the 1968 White album. The Beatles used either a Epiphone Casino or a Fender Stratocaster for that track. They had ditched the Ricky's by then...

[spepper]

this man is DA MAN

excellent demo man, this is what REALLY makes me want to buy a guitar!!!

[adamkincaid1234]

It's not a Cat's eye soundhole, it's called a scimitar, or crescent, soundhole, man

[future80s]

he reminds me of jack black.

[migiiiiiii]

very very much ... on lsd xDD
