[@SEVNTIGERS]

Great show! you should definitely have more guest shows from time to time 👍🏼

[@flapjack413]

This. Definitely cool. Would love to see more of these!

[@Vimps69.]

I love that Dr Fludd says he’s a Metalhead at heart and that KZbin is harder than getting his PHD👍

[@paulrich6307]

Dr. Fludd is a very smart and insightful person. I don’t always agree with his comments, but his comments are so well informed. Fantastic having him on your channel!

[@PatrickAshe41]

Agreed. I think it's a sign of a great commentator or critic; whether I agree or disagree with them, if they make interesting points, I'll keep checking out their stuff.

[@turellius]

This was fantastic! It was cool seeing both Phil and Dr. Fludd discussing and sharing thoughts and stories around gear and playing guitar. I agree that having guests from time to time would be a welcome addition to the channel.

[@thisguy2973]

Man, the way you described wanting your dream Ibanez for years and then disappointed when you finally get, that’s happened to me so many times, and I’ve wound up loving the guitars I’ve avoided my whole life.

[@twobarsfourstars]

Fantastic podcast, thank you both!! Hope this format continues and Dr. Fludd comes back for more discussion

[@omen3766]

Two of the Best!!!! More of this for sure. Cheers!

[@GuitarGearGyan]

Simply Superb, a Guitar enthusiast's dream ❤

[@shanewalton8888]

Good morning Phil and Dr. Fludd. I hope Phil's dog is feeling better.

[@stevenpipes1555]

The first Parker that I ever saw was in the magazine adds. The first Parker I ever held, however, was my first day at work after landing a job at Parker guitars. My first job was wet sand and polish fresh painted guitars. The first one I ever held was a Transparent blue mahogany. It was freshly painted the day before and it hadn't even been routed yet! One of the most memorable moments of my life!

[@zackpack8]

I absolutely enjoy Andre's honest perspective when he reviews guitars! He goes through all of the aspects including the feel when playing! He also explains the aspect part of why he likes what he likes!

[@Vance-sn7ei]

Good to see you guys together. Thanks.

[@justcruisen67]

Geat Show...Hope you get to do more of these with artists or fellow channels!

[@imaxeman69]

Original Bigsby springs were motorcycle valve sprints that were cut down.

[@mrelmoresmusiclab]

This was awesome! Love how Andre preached how hard it is. I just got my channel monetized and passed 5k in my first year. Building an awesome community is goal number one and the rest takes care of itself. Keep on grinding and thanks for bringing this format Phil. If there' one thing I have learned on YT, you have to keep on progressing.

[@benmmurray]

Great podcast! You are two of my favorite people to hear talk about guitar design, and the conversation was really insightful!

[@crucifixgym]

I started in the 80s with Ibanez and the 540SLTD, after 3 years I never wanted to play that guitar ever again and gave it to my friend who played guitar.

[@cullenjames7542]

I don't think it was the first time I saw a Parker, but the one that lit the GAS in me was seeing Reeves Gabrels play one with David Bowie on SNL circa the Earthling album. So cool.

[@misteress3840]

Me, too!

[@MrTabasham1990]

Been waiting for this collaboration

[@JockeLundgrenTV]

Great conversation. Perfect listening while working. Thanks!! ❤

[@papasteve7376]

Wish I knew this was coming on. Great show Phil. Happy 4th everyone

[@hmmmmm6034]

Awesome. Dr Fludd is one of my faves.

[@orionvassi]

Awesome video. I could listen to guitar talk all day.

[@Duke_Silver]

It's nice to see those 2 in a conversation. I'm subscibed to both.

[@lunamatic9775]

2 great channels together! Great video!

[@carpathus]

Great guest and love all the gear talk. Cheers!

[@Metro_Gnome]

My two faves! ....besides beato and samurai ..What is this, a crossover episode?

[@twocats2543]

You guys make great content 🤘

[@Neuroanalisis]

Loved this format, more guests please!

[@57ebartley]

Back to the nut friction problem . I have never learned to cut a nut properly and Ive run into so many so called techs that had no idea what they were doing when then they cut them. When Ive had a nut installed in a guitar Ive had to go back to the person several times to get the strings to stop binding. I just started using an old Strat that I just put a Dimarzio Super Distortion S in the bridge. Now when I use the Tremolo arm about 3 of the strings are binding in the nut. And I live in a place now in Florida where there is just a shortAGE OF Guitar Techs. I need to get the Nut Files and learn to do it myself.

[@cullenjames7542]

I started playing in '87. I learned to tune by ear to the albums I was listening to. I was listening to tapes, which were usually duped from a friend. Often times cheaper cassette players varied in speed, so the pitch and speed would often vary from tape deck to tape deck. Anyway, all that to say that learning to tune by ear was once a very important skill.

[@misteress3840]

Enjoy Phil with guests :)

[@lefujyou]

I owned four of them. The problem was they didn’t put a tang on the fret and so they glue them on but the frets would come loose. They were very good and sent me four replacement guitars. The last one I didn’t touch it. I sold it . But very good Guitar and with the Paizo and the magnetic pick ups together great tones.

[@picksalot1]

Nice to see Andre on the Channel. I love the way he scrutinizes everything about guitar designs. Thanks

[@TumbleweedRancher]

I learned to tune with a tuning fork, maybe because started on acoustic. Seems to work well on most electrics also.

[@killertom8261]

I had a late 80s, early 90s Carvin DC127 that had stainless steel frets. It was stolen from a gig. Man, I miss that guitar.

[@PatrickAshe41]

18:00 whew. Thank goodness. I thought I've been crazy for years for not liking super-thin, Ibanez Wizard-type necks. That's usually why I pass on many Ibanez guitars. I actually bought an aftermarket neck for an Ibanez S-body just to have a little more thickness (AND a volute)!

[@shaunhughes2]

Still looking forward to that new research on tonewood that, if I remember correctly, you mentioned in a podcast a couple months ago as something Dr. Fludd was also looking into.

[@_Yep_Yep_]

Nice collaboration, gents.

[@TobyKBTY]

Andre is fantastic. Very different from everyone else who brings lots of experience to reviews with a player’s perspective. Also I didn’t know he’s a metalhead at heart that’s sick, I wanna hear him play high gain more 😂

[@eddiejr540]

Great video guys…I know for a fact that my floyd guitars do not sustain as long as my non-floyd guitars!!

[@mikeblue385]

merle travis suggested using a harley valve spring for the bigsby. it worked out.

[@6806goats1]

Excellent video. Key point comes to mind when Andre talks about enjoying a big chunky neck since he has large hands. Maybe I’m too early into the video. Would there be a benefit to the show to go over guitars made with like 48 mm nut width for this of us with larger hands. Your special Tele where you swap out the pups looks to me like the fretboard is wider than most. Is there like a science where we can go take a hand size measurement and determine a neck size closer to what is enjoyable for those with big hands. Like U shape and others. Are we just lazy to take the time to learn how to play a narrow neck guitar or is it a real thing. Would we be better at playing guitar if we had to fight less to get clean tones. Being able to unbolt a neck and go to a larger size versus having a glued in neck like Gibson. I like Gibson and the style but having a bolt in neck like a Strat or Tele just seems better from that aspect.

[@two50ne77]

Phil would like to hear your take on modern guitar hits and misses!

[@crystaloffrost]

What I started to realize is Andre always has a guitar in his lap in videos but almost never plays it.

[@gsbguitarsgsb679]

Just knowing I have a broken string on any of my guitars bugs the heck out of me. So I replace or restring immediately.

[@elenbrandt290]

Thank you!

[@ChainsawChristmas]

Andre is awesome and his channel is really good too.

[@robraaiii]

HELL Yeah!! I Love a Crossover Episode.

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

I am compulsive about intonation and daily tuning of guitars - both are essential - one’s who come over freak- and also Solid state amps are essential to reproducing wavelength harmonics of tuned sound- for voltage reasons

[@beasz1974]

Cool Colab!!!!

[@benfowler2127]

Andre is cool. I heard about him from you during the pandemic Phil. I would not have guessed he’s a metal head. I love it

[@StupidGuitar]

F yeah it’s Fludd! Love Andre

[@user-lt4pw7rv2l]

It’s funny- my 2 best guitar channels

[@PhillipMcKnight]

Thank you very much

[@Tonedefy]

Let's make this a regular thing! 😊

[@catsmeow971]

I'm an Andre fan.. been watching his shows for a couple years. It's all just opinions and it's good to see so sides. Go Strandberg!!

[@user-iz6ry2ms6x]

U'mmm, I really not sure why ... whatever I make a comment, it never seems to get recognized.

[@thisguy2973]

Boom, recognized

[@LiteralApe]

You must be a guitar player

[@user-ec3dn2yy9d]

Rock on dudes

[@adam3839]

I remember not affording a tuner in the 90s. Now, all my kids are in the school band and steal and lose my tuners. Then they come to me and say, Dad I need a new tuner, And I'm like, yeah, I know. Me too.

[@DanielBobke]

I LOVE LOVE LOVE Strandbergs...I have 3 of them. However, I am not convinced that True Temperament makes enough of a difference to be worth the significant extra cost.

[@thisguy2973]

The extra cost is because no fret is straight and no 2 are the same. I agree, it doesn’t mean it’s worth it, but it’s a lot more labor.

[@DanielBobke]

@@thisguy2973I fully understand WHY it costs more...my issue is the value prop

What happened to the shorter videos, Phil?

[@CaptainCraigKWMRZ]

I watch Phil's rerun cast every weekend while I am at work. This is my first live... Whatever. And I find it confusing and too ... Obtuse. (Look it up.) I'll watch this video later when it is grounded. Now I know why Phil has that 'face' when he is doing his weekly podcast. He's not a moron, he's overloaded!

Andre doesn't like Gibson guitars. I love him already.

[@firecrackerheart]

i am a big fan of both of you, and your youtube channels! thanks for all the great info. you provide to we guitarheads .. .

[@krasimirparvanov8139]

Why so much talk about cutting the nut if there is a zero fret? There are even no zero frets for each (or every two) string...simply because it's easy to change.

[@TheFrankHuda]

Ur not my dad!

[@danieltilleru3528]

Gibsons suck anyways

[@TheSavagederek]

The idea itself doesn't . Just the price , the quality of finish , the weight , if it's an LP , the scale length and the hard edges on the backs , especially bound edges .

[@DanielBobke]

@@TheSavagederek LOL

[@thisguy2973]

Do you own one?

[@danieltilleru3528]

I did got a studio when they first came out

[@thisguy2973]

@@danieltilleru3528 I still love them. I hated them growing up in the 90s, but a time has moved on, I can’t seem to get a guitar to feel better in the hands aside from music man.
