@brw0044 yeah go fuck yourself you piece of shit. hes played with bon jovi, recorded with daughtry, kelly clarkson etc. what the fuck have you done? stop wanking and do something useful and stop being a piece of shit. good bye.
@giggs102 ya my point exactly. Keep playing with shite musicians. I don't understand why all you little bitches are sticking up for this idiot. Open your ears. This guy is a total tool.
@brw0044 dude, just cuz you don't like someone doesn't mean nobody else can. damn, this whole fuckin planet is nothing but a bunch of opinionated assholes. if you don't like someone or something, PERFECT! you are entitled to it! but you don't, nor should you, have to force that upon others. and i'm not just sayin this because i actually enjoy seein this cat play, but because i'm tired of seein arguments about stupid ass shit like this here. just wait till recess kids, class is in session..
This is to that stupid little bitch thats arguin with phil: grow up and give your head a shake, obviusly you cant tell who is better than you and knows A HELL OF A LOT MORE than you do, phil has more talent in the tip Of his pinky finger than you will ever have, you are a low life FUCK, a wimp. And you can just stay behind your keyboard cuz thats all youve got, phils got thousands of fans(im obviusly one of them) and you have NOTHING.Now hopefully you listen to a 15 year old n accept that u lost
Would everybody stop bitching about him not knowing what everything does? That guitar is retardly overcomplicated. No guitarist would ever need all that shit. Especially a great guitarist like Phil that doesn't need the fancy crap
Speaking of requests, there's 2 lovely Les Pauls, to the right of Phil's head on screen, one looks like a natural maple top, crazy maple top, the other is a gold top. Have you guys done these? If not could you please? And maybe the Bo-Diddly lookin' one also... :)
c'mon. With a skull belt buckle against the back? pretty disrespectful man. scratching it all to hell. not to mention you have no clue what you're talking about.
@brw0044 no back of any guitar is ever scratched up by my belt buckle as there is always space between the guitar and my pelvic area. who rests their guitar on their belt buckle anyway? do you even play guitar? if by remote chance you do, do you get paid for it? probably not... so obviously you're just a jealous cry baby hiding behind a keyboard because you couldn't say "boo" to anyone with talent without pissing yourself. all good, though. autozone's looking for clerks.
@philx1111 Haha you are an idiot. Acting like an 8th grader for everyone to see. Do you really want to have an argument about who's better at the guitar on a youtube comment page? You're a shite musician that plays with other shite musicians and gets paid to do it. Congratulations!
@brw0044 I would take the advice and words of a professional musician like Phil who has played (and in my opinion enhanced the quality) on hit records, performs brilliantly on stage, and obviously has a wealth of knowledge when it comes to not just guitar but the art of music in general seriously because he's gained it through years of experience not by acting irrationally, so take your rants down a notch
@ScottLowry41988 You guys are all lameasses. What advice has phil offered other than playing shite music? I'm not very interested in a pissing contest on youtube as I said before but since you insist. If he's such a professional then why is he talking shite on youtube? If some dude wants to demo a guitar he knows nothing about on youtube then he just has to accept the critiques he receives. And if he wants to show his ass instead then that's ok too. Go play along with avril lavine or something.
@brw0044 NEVER EVER CALL PHIL SHIT!!!!! do you have any idea how many people now know you are a freaking idiot, how could you take the piss out of an all round nice guy (from what i have gathered) and an epic guitarist watch you say especially on his videos.
@wjhandy he doesn't sell guitars, he demo's them. if you check out his website Phil-X tv you'll see his bio and you'll see why "he's so great" and indeed see all the people who have hired him who also think "he's great". Take it easy and Merry Xmas :)
@TheDustyGuitarShow.... I was responding to what appeared to be a jerky retort to a comment that was a bit dicky. My comment is no longer attached to that, so this is out of context. I know what great is. Until this, via Alembic club "I've never erd of him". He must work cheap. Merry Xmas to you too.
@philx1111 Dude, I rest my guitar on my belt buckle because you've taught me play standing up and when I play I focus on playing, not where my guitar is. Plus I spaz and run around my house while soloing. Does this make me a terrible player? I take my belt off before I strap my guitar on. I swear. I SWEAR!
@wildbird5150, @philx1111 I don't wear big belt buckles, but if I did, my guitars would surely get scratched. Just personal preference really. Phil lets his guitar hang further right than I do.
As much as I LOVE Phils demos, as an amateur Dead Head I have to admit that he was not the right person to demo this guitar. lol. Still fun to watch, but he did not even come close to getting all of the tones that this thing can do.
Looks like my kind of guitars. Who the hell needs a humbuck at the neck? Split coils on the other two pickups give it plenty of versatility. A guitar you can play heavy metal on, flick a switch, and play La Bamba. Great tone no matter where he set it, too.
You really need to go to the Alembic website. The "tone" knobs are actually low pass filters. What you are calling coil splitters are actually off / on / bright switches. All Alembic pickups (except those in series guitars) are stacked with a dummy coil, but non of them can be split. You may also want to mention that the second input is there to run an onboard effects loop using a Tip Ring Sleeve cable. The effects loop is turned off and on using the fourth switch. Otherwise fun video.
I really think you should use the ER and half stack again for the next videos even though everyone is complaining about its clean sound. But the dirty tones didn't sound perfect either. I watched the NAMM videos and that thing sounded a million times better. So I just think something wasn't quite right when you set up for filming the last vids. I'm not trying to sound like all those bitchers out there but I think you could easily shut them all up next time
@MrMeddled Get out of here with that kind of comment man. "He can only play trashy LA rock licks"? There's tons of videos on here where he plays blues (and plays it extremely well) and all types of other music, too. Hell, he was playing a little bit of SRV in the beginning of this video.
@MrMeddled Ain't talking about neck - whether it's bolt on or neck-through or set neck. I wrote just about my opinion about the sound of this guitar for the purposes I heard on that video, letting along its (or SG's) appearance, useless (in this case) electronic swithing, may be coil splitting, active/passive electronics and so on. Sorry if I made you feel uncomfortable with my hate to Alembics :-)
Awesome Bro! I think you got everything out of those guitars that the builder put into them. I suspect however that the builder never intended them to rock Phil X Styley. Dude it doesn't matter what guitar you pick up your tone is killer and you have the amazing ability to rock the out of just about anything. Peace Bro! Gimme some knuckles .
Would you do a Jimmy Page les paul and not play any zeppelin? I am pretty sure that the only people interested in either one of these guitars are dead fans. Not AC/DC fans if you Know what I'm saying?
Thanks for the laughs! Be like watching me figure out how to shoot the sparks out of Ace Frehley's guitar pickups. The "kill switch" actually engages the onboard effects loop: put a TRS Y cord in the 2nd jack, connect pedals and switch 'em in and out from the guitar. Effects get full signal from pickups at all times regardless of master volume -- good for envelope filters, octaves, overdrives, etc. Constant tone at any volume. Tone controls are actually filters; off-on-bright are the toggles.
@playingdeadboston you're welcome for the laughs. i wonder why all that extra goodness didn't catch on. oh yeah... because it's COMPLETELY UNNECESSARY. (this comment brought to you by Only My Opinion without hate or anger. have a kick ass day).
@philx1111 Yeah mon! Dig your sense of humor. (Some of us don't need a whammy bar, either.) But sending the pickup output to certain pedals before the guitar volume control is pretty brilliant if you want to set your volume-dependent effects to the sweet spot, like an auto-wah. It's like having a volume pedal right there on the guitar. You plug the ones you want to be dependent on your volume knob after the guitar's main output, if you want to clean up overdrive with your volume. Keep rocking.
Why does he have to paint his nails? It's so fucking lame. Don't get me wrong Phil x is an excellent guitarist and I'm a big fan, it just kind of annoys me for some reason.
Hey nice vid' Dude,but, I have a question, what is the song that you're playing at 06:55 ? Thanks a lot dude ! Keep groovin' like this, it's amazing !
Phil says he would never play such guitars but me thinks Phil became a believer! That was quite an inspired performance! Very, very much enjoyed that! I always look forward to each and everyone of your videos! Great reviews, kickass skillz from the X-man, and guitars that make me grow a stiffy! Thanks Phil and F.A.!! \m/
Hey could you guys do the 4th les paul from the wall. its got a crazy top. There is a really old review... but its like 2 min long. i was hoping you guys could sex it up. thanks
Phil, I like your rendition of "Sweet Leaf", but it sounds better downtuned to C, as it was on the recording. Still cool of you to play the good stuff, though.
I think that the Further should get its own video, since it's so much different from the Tribute, for example, purpleheart body, neck thru construction, different top/back woods, smaller body etc.
@Rayvann4ever really ? cause I'm pretty sure we consistently show a wide variety of rare vintage and specialty guitars... oh yeah I forgot they're free entertainment for you... sorry you feel we have lost site but in my humble opinion our vision has always been consistent. we will continue to showcase special guitars and hope that you can enjoy the videos for what they are... fun FREE entertainment..
@frettedamericana Also you need to show some pedals while he presents the guitars, when you have special ones that we might have never heard of before, and another thing you have been only presenting electric guitars you should show off some acoustics like you used to do in your earlier videos
@Rayvann4ever Just three vidz ago, they show us a 1961 ES 335. the Video is named "Welcome Home!! PHIL X FRIDAY RETURNS! 1961 ES 335 01162"
They frequently put a vintage guitar up there, just because this is a active-pick-up guitar you still get one of the two you mentioned, Phil rockin' out. peace.
@Rayvann4ever i hardly believe that the evil robot is a fancy multi channel amp...its a copy of a 1959 tonemaster...vintage, right? the guitars they play are mostly vintage or things you will most likely never see...i have yet to see anything that doesn't fit in this criteria...and i'm pretty sure Phil rocks out everytime....
sweet guits and vid (thanks dusty and FA! team). Phil you gotta play more of that fun clean crazy chordy stuff you did at the beginning like at 2:49 and 3:33 . that was cooool.
I always thought it was so weird that Jerry Garcia played one of those, it looks like it should be used for thrash, I liked him better in the 60s and 70s when he played strats and sgs though
Hi guys, can you do a little video with that Gretsch Billy-Bo that's hanging on the far right? I'm curious to see what Phil can do with that one. Cheers
This Guy is a Forehead.

Phil says he would never play such guitars but me thinks Phil became a believer! That was quite an inspired performance! Very, very much enjoyed that! I always look forward to each and everyone of your videos! Great reviews, kickass skillz from the X-man, and guitars that make me grow a stiffy! Thanks Phil and F.A.!! \m/

You can get this guitar in ebay right now for a “buy it now” of a mere $12,500 and the second for a much more affordable $8700.
I’m sure those folks enjoy Phil talk’in shit all over their guitars that cost as much as Harley Davidsons! LOL!

Phil, I like your rendition of "Sweet Leaf", but it sounds better downtuned to C, as it was on the recording. Still cool of you to play the good stuff, though.

Jato97 8 months ago
I think that the Further should get its own video, since it's so much different from the Tribute, for example, purpleheart body, neck thru construction, different top/back woods, smaller body etc.

Dear FrettedAmericana
These videos used to be about vintage guitars and Phil X rocking out.
Nowadays it's more about fancy multi channel amps and splitting active guitar pickups.
I feel that somewhere along the way you missed the point.
Rayvann4ever 8 months ago
@Rayvann4ever really ? cause I'm pretty sure we consistently show a wide variety of rare vintage and specialty guitars... oh yeah I forgot they're free entertainment for you... sorry you feel we have lost site but in my humble opinion our vision has always been consistent. we will continue to showcase special guitars and hope that you can enjoy the videos for what they are... fun FREE entertainment..
frettedamericana 8 months ago 91
@frettedamericana Also you need to show some pedals while he presents the guitars, when you have special ones that we might have never heard of before, and another thing you have been only presenting electric guitars you should show off some acoustics like you used to do in your earlier videos

@Rayvann4ever Just three vidz ago, they show us a 1961 ES 335. the Video is named "Welcome Home!! PHIL X FRIDAY RETURNS! 1961 ES 335 01162"
They frequently put a vintage guitar up there, just because this is a active-pick-up guitar you still get one of the two you mentioned, Phil rockin' out. peace.
RobinIvarsson 8 months ago
@Rayvann4ever i hardly believe that the evil robot is a fancy multi channel amp...its a copy of a 1959 tonemaster...vintage, right? the guitars they play are mostly vintage or things you will most likely never see...i have yet to see anything that doesn't fit in this criteria...and i'm pretty sure Phil rocks out everytime....
my two cents!

I always thought it was so weird that Jerry Garcia played one of those, it looks like it should be used for thrash, I liked him better in the 60s and 70s when he played strats and sgs though
