These are the most underrated guitars ever left the Gibson factory. I've got a couple of very sought after vintage Gibsons but my 66 Crestwood beats them all...
I can only ever stand to watch 4 or 5 Phil X clips before I have to run into my room and blast my guitar into my neighbours' face with face-melt rock... only it never sounds as good as Phil, so I have to come back and watch some clips. Totally brilliantly great!!!
I like watching this guy, because he may not be the best guitar player or the most professional, he sure is entertaining, unlike those guys who just sit there and blandly tell you about the features and then play something. This guy's got stage presence and charisma!
What I love about these reviews, is not just the wonderful vintage guitars, but you have fun playing these instruments - thats what its all supposed to be about.
The Crestwood, Wilshire, and Olympic. Were similiar, with Olympic being the starter level, Crestwood as a high-end model, and the Wilshire being in between. :D
Hey dr.Phil good. Do a review on 80's Kaman GTX33..A very underated guitar for what I paid.Mine sounds the bomb if I drop the coil switch and hit overdrive.shredding time
hey Phil, was in my local guitar shop and heard the most amazing and awesome playing coming from way inside. just stood there for about 15mins watching Gary Moore (!!!) trying out one of these (reissue Wilshire 1962)....... right there in front of me...... what are the odds of that...?
What i like about all these vids are that the guitars are pushed to the limit in everyway to try and show each sound the guitar can make! oh yeah and its all set up right and not cheezy + superbly played! FIVE STARS!
actually this isnt epiphone's version of the SG standard, its a guitar that only epiphone has, gibson never came out with it. i believe it came out in late 50s or something like that. recently they decided to make these again. theyr babes!
well, it has an SG vibe. hell...they were made in the same factory in kalamazoo. maybe a gibson dude walked onto the epiphone floor with a massive hangover and decided to play a practical joke that fluked into one of the most impressive guitars i've ever played.
@ROYALNOZGUL probably one of those weird marketing ploys to leave things unresolved so you think about it more...............or maybe I not, I don't know.
Wow. Incredible. You really need to redo this guitar if it hasn't been sold already.

The thing with the sg standard is the tone isn't clear enough.
