1961 Epiphone Wilshire BLACK 01017

[MadSpectro7]

It sounds like the Les Paul SG Special you did one time.

[TobyBallMusic]

Okay Fretted Americana... I think it's about time you told us how you make the guitar float in the pictures at the beginning.

[god1425]

@TobyBallMusic Photoshop... LOL . take a picture of the case, then take a picture of the guitar on a stand and then cut out the guitar and paste it over the case...you can notice this if you look at the pics on their website!

Rockin' those P90s, Phil.

[DannyHBoy1]

The Wilshire is, in my opinion, the only guitar that competes with the Les Paul in style and sound...such a beautiful guitar....my dream guitar right there!

[BibleBlack42]

Phil is one of the best guitar reviewers I know of! He plays on the best amps too.

[willemkerpel1]

My laptop speakers don't like the guitar..!!

[xMikeTheRipper]

[gregorisgod]

Also a brilliant-sounding guitar and great demo as usual.

[gregorisgod]

Nice to hear a bit of Free, my dad's favourite band so they always make me happy.

[KamikaziPanda17]

I dont get the Wilshire, it sounds nice, but the look, it looks off for some reason, even the new RI's from Epiphone....i guess i just dont like the look.

[MrArsenal1414]

@KamikaziPanda17 -> more like its the best looking guitar in the world!

[wisesatyr72]

Funk #49 and Walk this Way must be Phil's favorite songs.

[theguywholaughed]

[someretardedboy]

[justjoe032]

[gtnick314]

man if you guys dig this guitar the new epi wilshire reissues are like uber cheap with actual humbuckers it sounds awsome but it need ssomoe tlc pots and pickups like most epi's do

[gbgg9409]

Don't think, play from the heart! Phil, that is the best guitar advice I have ever received.

[einarmagnus]

If you did a fast tutorial for noobs on "Carry on .... son" i woul freaking love it!

[AgnosticFonts00]

I really dig alot of the guitars he features but I am not big on buying guitars without atleast playing one even though I like the sound and the look. I need to feel the neck.

[musicman69123]

I absolutely agree, AgnosticFonts00. I never buy ANY instrument without playing it myself first.

[461100]

Carry on wayward son by Kansas

[braddyboy82]

Gahhh!! The Skullcrusher again!!! Noooo!!!!!

[philx1111]

Sorry man, u have to understand all these vids with the skull were shot in 1 day weeks ago. We will b back in tonemaster land for the next batch.

[zyesa]

yea buddy didnt really like the skullcrusher but i hope you guys keep trying different amp and pedal combos for us. by the way this guit souds awesome.

[I1lpl0xI1l]

@philx1111 Dude, your obviously not really philX. so you should make another youtube account or stop talking like your him.

[philx1111]

@l1lpl0xl1l,

I am him.

[kamaboko1]

will the real philx please stand up...no i mean...play that riff? lol. philx how about some Kiss or Queen when you shoot the next batch of videos.

[Sydbar8]

@philx1111 your off your fuckin nut pal ,hahaha very good reviews my son,,,,,,,cant decide wether or not your better than a fat chap with a beard and talking out of his ears but still youve got a UK fan in me,,,,keep it up ,,,,,,and the playing is fuckin beaut ;)

[mikeman9412]

@philx1111 Your not PhilX dude

[Yowzow]

@mikeman9412 yeah he is lol

[LWRCftw]

@philx1111 honestly, you can't blame him for thinking you were an impostor. Like If I got someone claiming to be Eddie Van Halen replying to a comment of mine, I wouldn't believe it was him.

[IMaiden23]

@LWRCftw But you now whats funny! You have been talking to Phil X! Go on his website and there is a link to that channnal!!!!

[ArseLoad0fMetal666]

@LWRCftw did u honestly just compare Van Halen with Phil X??? I mean he is good but he sure ain't Phil X

[Keijz74]

@philx1111 Which is nice :o)#

[dgcostarica1]

well allow me to say from costa rica.. duuude you rock the shit! keep it uuup

[GeetarApprentice]

@philx1111 You ain't him, you are yourself. Geeez, phil, don't forget you'r the real stuff, not the nut in the vid :D hehe j/k

[RobotFollower]

@I1lpl0xI1l what the hell dude? prove it then. no! you won't prove anything...cause you know shit.

[Kylef7735]

@I1lpl0xI1l He is him, haha

[zeLudoo]

@I1lpl0xI1l LOL , wtf ?! He's the REAL philx , it seems impossible , but it is possible :)

[Glockenator]

@I1lpl0xI1l Hey dipshit, look at his channel. Philx1111 is the real Phil X you dumbass. Even ask Dustin, the camera guy for the FrettedAmericana videos

[sasa649]

@I1lpl0xI1l haha man ignorance is bliss huh?

[PBANDSNOW]

@I1lpl0xI1l Lol dude, are you retarded? Why would someone make an account dedicated to a YouTube/session musician?

[3M00RI]

@philx1111 hi phil woow i cant believe im sending a message to phil x himself!!

[kdjfnvjvd]

damn phil rips!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[billbowslaugh]

how much is the skull crusher

[SMOOTHSTEVE501]

base models are 399.99

[CamoSpartan07]

"Insane in the membrane!" XD

[GooglelyTube]

The pups sound microphonic to me - or is it just me? I keep hearing them ring. They look like P90s, but sure don't sound like them...IMHO.

[mourningleaves]

sounds like the tubes to me... but microphonics somewhere, definitely

[fbc214]

They do not do Ibanez, only American made gutiars. Fretted AMERICANA!

[rushrox869]

Damn i love that p-90 tone......i need a lp special dc...or junior dc...

[need4zpeed]

The Skull Crusher is way cool...too bad it's so expensive!

[hendrixkixas]

Whatever happenned to that Vox AC30? Could you use that as a clean (absolutely no dirt) and then put the skullcrusher in front of it? Just kinda miss the pristine clean tones.

[meantean]

i was feeling some stones with that geetar ! so i could get SATISFIED ! lol if ya no what i mean

[meantean]

im still willing to do anything for that sex blue strat ! !!!!

[bauersnarky]

damn, i do NOT see that as a 1961. one would think it would be ground to bits and not shiny nd sexxy like that. sweet guit

[hurricaneofrock]

great vid!

Just wonderin: have you guys ever done any ibanez's? Im not a big fan of them but theyre about the only major brand I HAVENT seen Phil play :]

[leddeath80]

i don't i've ever seen him play A washburn, martin, taylor or maton

[YmoBoi]

These videos aren't appearing in my Subscription box...

[WrayLS]

"That's-a...so nice."

[deanrockerr1994]

[sleggarri]

I tune in just to hear Phil play classic rock.

[abdoelah01]

The song is "Carry On My Wayward Son", Kansas!

[jagjaghuh]

How do I buy these guitars?

[drServitus]

If i win the lotto, I'm payin Phill elevin gazillion dollars to teach me 1% of what he knows. Cuz then I'd be wicked on the axe.

It would be worth it.

[censoredmm]

If I ever win the lottery, I will be fretted americana's biggest customer

[Logankeller352]

WOOOOO kickass vid
