1960 Gibson ES-335 TD 01069

[countrad]

great and entertaining player who could also pass for Val Kilmer's twin brother

[homestar2112]

That finish is SEXY. Also that live album by Rush is called "All the World's A Stage" supporting their 2112 album.

[homestar2112]

dat finish.

[GreasyBalls418]

Glad he put a little tribute to rush here

[GreasyBalls418]

I might be building an es 335 in my dad's garage soon.

[DannyDoomPink]

Alex's white guitar was a 355 I think, but I may be wrong about that!

[BassnGuitarMan]

I love seeing old guitars get played. They have so much tone and such a good vibe. Instruments should be played not be behind glass.

[sbosuna]

1960 Gibsons. my favorite Gibsons ever.

[TheRock885]

2:05 LOL

[9timesnine]

Damn that thing sounds sweet.

[sparlyman]

...this dude is like the Fonz of his generation....and a very clean fretter !

[ryan06105]

I'm trying to fight the urge to buy a 335. This video isn't helping.

[dumbletone]

slow down with cocaine Phil ;-))

[userpipe]

is this guitar still for sale?

[guyon2342]

' huhuhuhhuuhaahh! That's hot man, i don't even know how i got that. But ehm.. I duh it, YERRR!!'

lol :P

[shargarepa12345]

does he get payed to do this?

[barkatthemoon81]

I have Jazzmaster GAS, but seeing this makes me want a ES-335...FUUUUU!

[MoDeRnClanMatches]

2112.

[iamthatguy99]

@frettedamericana How long has PhilX been playing for?

[darkhorse427]

@iamthatguy99 He wrote his song "Flippin Out" when he was only 18 and had been playing guitar for about 10 years before that. So the answer to your question is about 37 years.

[Zombiekeks]

Sweet tone.

[miscellaneousanus]

these 335s sound perfect!

[jhark515]

i think its a es-137 your talking about

[giggs102]

phil x is a genius.

[saintidiot]

phil just wanted to show off his belt buckle ;p

[michaeltd578]

It's be so sick to have the tabs to all the random and not so random stuff he plays during one video.

[geoboy333]

"I'm gonna play it slow cause I can't do it fast anymore"... then plays it so fast I can't see his fingers! Gotta love him :)

[3M00RI]

phil is the reason why marijuana should be legal

[jazzaces294]

@3M00RI except he doesn't do any drugs, there was a video about that. Common sense is the reason marijuana should be legal

[xPsuedo]

that was awesome. you need to play more rush.

[MrMaxPerformance]

What is the song at 3:30 minutes? (qual'è la canzone al minuto 3:30?)

[komikkokokava]

@MrMaxPerformance

Pick Up The Pieces by Average White Band

[MrMaxPerformance]

What is the song at 3:04 minutes? (qual'è la canzone al minuto 3:04?)

[jakeyyboy100]

cleaner than...church *twang*



[stonedrocker666]

what brand strings does mr. X use?

[gibbie31]

what kind of guitar does phil play at shows

[frettedamericana]

@gibbie31 he's sponsored by Yamaha, so he mostly plays their guitars :)

[loeher182]

@frettedamericana you sure? he seems to be always using his ESP vipers. Plus, I don;t recall seeing a yammie on philx.tv

[007hamo]

@frettedamericana hey guys just from curiosity(i know that s none of my business)does he still uses ldt or it is now yamaha exclusive.I saw in one of yours episode he is talking about yamaha sg but i didnt know about their deal.

[guitarzz24]

@frettedamericana does he still play his vipers live?

[KsiazeIgor]

Hey, I've been playing the guitar since 20 years and thanks to Phil X I'm still learning something awesome. Cheers Phil.

[michaeltd578]

These vids really make me wanna go and play soooo bad!!... but thing i notice another Phil X vid.

[hendrix950]

So epic, I actually stopped First Blood to watch this video.

[frettedamericana]

@hendrix950 Now THAT'S a fan!!!!....thanks for the support!!! :)

[bassharmonica1]

@hendrix950 Like Rambo? damn dude, you must really like PhilX

[yaniselmasri]

@hendrix950 i stopped my porn for this

[xEnZoProDucTioNz]

@yaniselmasri i had to do it the other way round because this is soo dirty! :D

[MrBac755]

@yaniselmasri This IS porn, But of the guitar variety. :)

[deeestroooy]

He should be a playable character in brutal legend and guitar hero

[iPlayGuitar1919]

@deeestroooy like times a million :D

[jhymadesh]

I just got a boner from that guitar

[MusicMan20061210]

Did a seagull drop something on his right eye?

[avery000]

@MusicMan20061210 its a piercing.

[WoWintosh]

Hey frettedamericana, Guitar Center has a blonde 1959 Gibson ES-335 for sale and they want $90,000 for it. Do you think this is reasonable? It seems a little high to me,

[friskyisfat]

MEAN STREET!

[michaeltd578]

Which is bigger 335 or 339?...335 right?

[filippone55157]

@michaeltd578 yeah, 339 i believe is about the same size as a les paul - ish

[lollo1991]

Hey why Phil does use a compression pedal?

[dejiita]

@lollo1991 he uses a boss cs-3

[slimyesli]

wow he knows so much songs he has like the 60s 70s 80s record track lists and tabs in his head lol

[alvaritooooooooo]

I'd like to hear a dem of the ES339 by Phil X... i know, it's not a vintage one but i'd like to hear it. Thanks

[spootybaby]

4:55 - 5:05

"...and Alex Lyson(?) used a green ES something... *laughs* it was white."

what the how did you I don't even...

[hendrix950]

I dont think any of these guitars are mint after Phil X rips the shit out of them with his awesomeness XD

[ddawga]

how much for private lessons?

[andrewcy17]

Phill X what do you mean @5:00 when you say a green ES that was white?

[colosalblack]

Thats some crazy sustain.

[mattjoe952k9]

i want to play random stuff like this :P

[lineslack]

i like him

[Jacobcfuller]

WANT

[UFCfanboy7898]

DUDE PLAY "ROCKY MOUNTAIN WAY" THAT WOULD KICK ASS

[jimmyp73]

cleaner than a church, lol

[superlou1s]

I hold my guitar angled like that as well- more comfortable for my fretting hand. Anyway, you guys really have the best customer service of all time.

[MrDannyHoo]

Two absolute legends. :D

[Guitarvirtuoso666]

Why do vintage guitars seem so much better than modern ones?

Is it some kind of magic?

[TheShuffler94]

Cleaner than...a Church! haha

[everdream144]

this is THE GUITAR!

Does anybody know if you can play also metal with this guitar?

[Laurentvb92]

I think it's possible but it won't be the same as a solid body guitar

I think if you use some good pedals you can get something "metal-like"

[richardsmamma]

Phil X how about coming over to Sweden and drink some beer and play som guitar dude, take The Drills with ya!

Peace dude.

[philx1111]

i'm down. book me a gig.

[slashthebestone]

hahahahahahaha ''but that's for other purposes'' hahahaha frettedamerica does the best guitars reviews! phil x is great!

[ploukusa]

THE-BEST-REVIEW-EVER :DD

[Silverzwerg]

guitar --> perfect

guitar player --> match

He´s got so much fun ;D

It´s the ulitmate frettedamericana - video

[UrSkulled]

When he does the harmonics in someone get me a doctor his face looks like a kid in a toy store lol.

[TrevorandGui]

Dang, Phill makes me look like I suck at guitar.

[chinesecantdrive]

@trevorandgui. Same, but I cant stop watching!

[greasykitchen]

Alex Lifeson had a 335 for 2112 in '76. The live record (All the World's a Stage) was actually a Les Paul I believe. The white one was a 355, and he also played a 345, but I think they were from about '77 onwards, the 335 being retired.

Thanks for playin' some Rush! And awesome sounding guitar, especially clean.

[GooglelyTube]

Thanks for "slowing it down" Phil! ;-P

Frozen Ghost = Should I See!

[LesPaulRockerProduct]

how much would this be new

like made in 08

[jcornell85]

What's the name of that song Phil was playing which he was playing the horns part?

[macklanders]

Pick Up The Pieces by Average White Band

[BigTroubles]

[DrivenBlues]

Phil that "other purposes" comment made my day, keep rockin you're awesome

[JTMagnum23]

[mysocalledchaos]

cleaner than a church, lol

[RaiseItToEleven]

After watching a bunch of these videos, I just realized that I've seen Phil X live with powder over the summer. lol

[youngaikidoka]

test some acoustics Phil, i wanna see that :)

you're fuckin awesome though :)

[brian91145]

Fretted americania please respond!!! DOES PHIL USE ANY KIND OF REVERB ON THESE DEMOS???? thanks.

[musikislife134]

phil i no why u put that space in between the belt buckle and the guitar but dude... seriously why dont u just put a smaller belt buckle on

[philx1111]

I don't make the space. It's just there. & small belt buckles r for kids.

[philx1111]

first off... the space is just there. secondly, small belt buckles are for wussies.

[rubadee]

big buckle = big package...mine buckle is huge!

[whitestripebuzz]

He is a rock and roll machine.

[gibbie31]

@whitestripebuzz haha that made me laugh so fukin hard hahaha

[AgnosticFonts00]

Another great vid phil!

[Alor78]

hey what gauge string does Phil use?

and how does he prefer his action low or high?

[frettedamericana]

Most of our guitars have 10's. He actually likes the action higher than lower

[xx55AC55xx]

what is a good gaudge for an epi les paul also what brand of strings does phil use

[slimyesli]

@frettedamericana actually phil said that they are 11s but i might be wrong 11 ernie ball power Slinky

[slimyesli]

@frettedamericana actually phil said that they are 11s but i might be wrong 11 ernie ball power Slinky.

[MrMaxPerformance]

@frettedamericana What is the song at 3:30 minutes? sorry for my english

[nikolajhansen15]

@frettedamericana

then he would want my cheap-ass-acoustic, where two people is required for contact between fretboard and string.

[landersonfilms]

i wouldnt watch these videos if phil x wasnt doing them

[LeonardChrist]

yeah, without him it's like everything else but with phil x its like ... amazing fucking crazy bullshit

[frettedamericana]

If we didn't have PHIL X we wouldn't make em!!

[thozzman]

so is Phil actually an employee of yours?

[WoWintosh]

@landersonfilms

So you wouldn't want to see all these cool vintage/rare guitars?

[UrSkulled]

MEANSTREET

[rubadee]

Hey Phil. The solo from Frozen Ghost's Suspended Humanation is my fave too. For interested shredders, you can buy it for 99 cents on iTunes. Pretty cheap for some incredible guitar playing.

[SantusVagus]

THC? XD

[soybomb2345]

how many of those daphney blue strats do you have? im like in love with that color...

[dirtyundertrausers]

I would buy every guitar if he was the seller XD

greets from germany

[lukikrestuki69]

i know molly duncan, the guy that plays the sax on pick up the pieces !!!

[Fab13]

You're the craziest guitar tester I've ever seen Phil X !

Your fun and good humor are communicative !!

[stratobiker]

Wow! What a great guitar!

Expertly demo'd by Phil X of course.

SB

[GibsonGuitarsForever]

Phil X, you deserve a 1959 gibson les paul standard!!!

[popomczowzow]

what compressor were you using?

[philx1111]

BOSS CS-3

[mattydotnet]

phil doing geddy lee? yes please.

[MannyBlue65]

Tone Master + 1960 ES-335 + Phil X = ROCK N ROLL

[MannyBlue65]

My dream guitar. Thanks for the great demo Phil X !

[wasdead917]

amazin!

[salguod72]

Tonemaster, the name says it all.

[vizcacha5]

Lol Clean Iron Man

[piewacket]

Phil ROCKS ''

[jamesallan7005]

[myoozzick]

ok all the beginnings of ur vids hav awesum songs plzz tell me wat they are

[philx1111]

Each vid has a little text window before the video actually starts & says "music by... " & it's usually either POWDER or THE DRILLS which are both my bands & both available on iTunes &/or amazon.mp3

[rubadee]

Hey Phil. The solo from Suspended Humanation is still one of my favorites of all time. For interested shredders, you can buy the song on itunes, just look up Frozen Ghost....definitely worth the 99 cents! Keep rocking buddy.

[UndisclosedUsername]

geddy lives on! even though he's not dead...

[horsecoollover19]

woah .i so love you !!! your epic!

[LedZeplican]

[Ramman69dog]

[cms6795]

i want your job so badly...do u get to to keep a guitar if u like it alot. or the people at fretted americana not as cool as they seem?

[RedroomStudios]

as someone who grew up in southern Ontario listening to RUSH, that cover just gave me the chills man!

[ScullyboyDX]

phil u need to teach some drills stuff on here!

[GiulioTrust]

Don't get angry man...trust me, I love how you play and i love watch your video but...whay are you laughing every 30 seconds?!

[philx1111]

I actually laugh when something sounds awesome. & also... I would make a lousy comedian 'cause I laugh at

all my own jokes.

[Keijz74]

@philx1111 But you're a great host, guitar player and singer Dude!

[giggidybdoto7]

hey phil, next time you play an es-3?? you should play "Hideaway" by Freddie King

it would kill through the VOX

[hurricaneofrock]

the very first thing you played was a part from the 1984 live eruption solo from EVH haha!

[philx1111]

Actually, the very first thing I played (when I didn't even know we were rolling) was the intro to "meanstreet" from =vH='s fair warning.

[cavedweller1996]

philly lee does a good impression of ged x

[huntermccartyney]

That tonemaster always amazes me.

[bobaloo1122]

[jellybean545]

[mariahkoko]

oh man... amazing

[MrDeadeyes]

[northlander30]

LOL Phil your a nut, great playing as usual!

[893165009]

First person saying First!!!

[Chasefast]

Do you guys have a SJ-350 Monarch for Gibson? I heard it's really expensive ! Like $25.771

[mdub048]

frettedamericana should clone the Tonemaster cicuit and do a repro. What tubes and speaker does it use?

[christer1992]

watching Phil X play guitar is always kickass. Love your playing PHIL!! :D

[aw350meman69]

YEEESSSS I LOVE THE TONEMASTER!!! ALL CAPS FTW!!!! ....i love phil x too....YEAH!

[ChillpointNews]

Phil X, thanks for showing clean tones now. I wasn't a big fan of just distorted tones before. But now I can fully enjoy the videos!

[philx1111]

Well I gotta tell ya, the clean sound & this guit just spoke to me. It's crazy how that works.

[lonerocker08]

this guys hilarious man lol

[pmaicol]

wich string are you using on those babies?

[philx1111]

I think these r Ernie Ball 11-48 or 11-52 which is what

the FA boys usually use. I just play them. I don't set them up.

[Plankguitar]

thanx for the new vid, i love semi acoustics. i play a hagstromviking by myselve.

[EJRocky]

Rated five stars, and I'm not 1:15 into it!
