BY POPULAR DEMAND! 1966 Gibson Melody Maker 00505

[TheBognordave]

I got a 69 exactly the same, my PU measures 7.2 K. I love it but the action is way high and impossible to adjust lower. What is the action on this like?

[MrSasuke2222]

and does anyone knows the song at 8 18 :3

[MrSasuke2222]

does anyone knows the name of the song at 3:10

[perkalator104]

I love how Phil says its pickup weak, but in the description it calls it hot! XD

[tMattLZ]

The Black Sabbath song sounds like Fade to Black. Or maybe vice versa

[gibbie31]

why is he hating on that guitar so much?

[jollesen]

thats actually some pretty cool singing on back in black ... wauv..

[TheJonas06]

Isn't it a Melody Maker in a SG shape?

[jetlag51]

[FelixIsMyName]

Is Phil & The Drills going to be doing any UK dates at all over 2012?

[MrMahoskins]

[happimetal444]

Man you are King (Y) |..|_

[000LoVaKo000]

Yeaahhh phil loves back in black and funk 49.

[therockandrollable]

hey phil! witch songs are they? thx

[Glebmaxx]

no offense dude, you're amazing and all... but it would be awesome if you did a little more of classic rock and hard rock. Maybe even something from the 90's

[jaikwillis]

they need a new category at the Grammys for Phil X

[tommythepooh]

What's the song at 3:00???

[fdafsdfasgs]

@tommythepooh Black Sabbath - A National Acrobat

[taghawdex]

fuck dude ur fckin insane at that acdc part

[sbogiam61]

cool guitar but, besides a weak useless pickup, the tuners are low ratio, the tremolo is useless. I would still want one if but for some spare coin. They do sound great.

[Brozotheclown]

@sbogiam61 sounds better than a lol paul

[bruthaflo]

james brown to black sabbath. Phil covers it all.

[dammit1996jaded]

it sounds like a strat

[flashgamer201]

cut the singing...

[Blane909]

@flashgamer201 dude

[turockandar]

I traded one of these in a batch on ten guitars several years and didn't even bother to test play it and now, you've guessed, regret it...:(

[mullbenkt]

Phil can play the guitar, and man, Phil can sing!

[IsaiahFtw111]

[pantelisfrapes]

@IsaiahFtw111 Ted Nugent - Stranglehold

[kkgetaway]

how thick is the neck?

[bugietube]

Curious, what are those retro-looking pastel colored HB electrics on the lower shelf immediately behind the honorable Mr. X?

[yaniselmasri]

HAHA PHIL X THATS ME AND YOURE NOT!!! :P

[TheAlexkru]

can u do that blue SG?

[RedTV8888]

phils hair looks fuckin awesome in this video

[Beelzebro]

I'm in love with this guitar, but I don't wanna spend that much on something that has that much of a feedback problem.

[cameltooth1]

@Beelzebro Just watch the gain on your pedal while using that guitar. A clean amp will make the pedal less harsh and less likely to feedback. Cut treble back on the amp or guitar for better control of feedback.

[amxa]

when he fist played i could swear he was gonna do this /watch?v=ZS31BD_KYAc :-) btw great song and great gp johhny mar is!

regards from brasil, amxa

[Cr4nium13]

mate you remind me so much of jack black

[Piitschii]

@Cr4nium13

other way around: Jack Black reminds me of Philx ;)

[TennGuy546]

In between Ted Nugent and the Police goes Dire Straits-Money for Nothing.

[LWRCftw]

[Tommy493]

that is my dream guitar.

[guyinfuckinghat]

@picosim2 well by all means do it do an sg. but i cant see why you would do it to a vintage sg melody maker

[picosim2]

@guyinfuckinghat yeah i realized this was not the place to make this comment a little wile after i did it.

just the white pickguard made something click to make that comment.

[Rasatfed]

[JacobZaringRulz]

some idiot on the bus tried to tell me guitar playing is for "faggots and that guy from AC/DC" now I like Angus, but Phil, Myself, and countless others are not faggots. That kid that told me that needs to get a life (and a real hobby)

[ziad1980]

How is this slice of awesomeness not sold yet? maybe it's waiting for me to win the lottery...or get a buyer for one of my kidneys...?

[leddeath80]

@ziad1980 it's something like 2500. work a bit harder and save alot more and u'll be there

[DuskY1991]

I really love the sound of that guitar to whatever amp it's played through.

What's that riff from at 07:47 again?

[poichai]

[Uldrythable]
