No One Knows About This Guitar And The Price Shows

[@nick_ashley]

Well, now we can expect the used prices on these to skyrocket 😅

[@woodyblakemore8401]

Exactly.

[@mh287]

By the time this video dropped they already did, they now range from 1000 to 1700$ .

[@stevemc75]

No they won’t

[@Riverking1]

Guitar Center has one got $899.

[@fiddlix]

If they do spike up because of the video it will drop back down because it ain’t a traditional single cut or trad double cut it’s just about guaranteed to. Especially one that has the lipstick pickups like the one Phillip has in the video. Because it is so unique it’s not the usual two humbucker, two P90 or three P90s which tend to be more common in guitars like the ones you tend to see in double cut copies in shape only. I really dig the lipstick pickups and I’m betting their price will most likely spike and then quickly come down. That’s the one that appeals to me most and I’ll bet comes down the quickest. Just food for thought from that guitar player that’s been trading guitars for over 45 years.

[@MrJommins]

I’ve been playing professionally for over 35 years now and I have always preferred to buy used guitars. And for some unknown reason, I have a price limit of $1000 in my mind so good job buddy, This is a great find!

[@woofcity6307]

Yah im exactly the same… i go up To about $1,800 but no more… good job!

[@shadowminister4090]

Love the hollowbody design and access to all of the electronics, etc.

[@donrepcon7704]

That guitar sounds beautiful. The tones are great! Definitely a keeper.

[@jacobpittman1996]

Man, that was a fantastic bridge sound! Neck was super good, but neck was nicely surprising. Thank you, Phil.

[@nathanb3606]

Just checked reverb, none of these under $1k. (Video came out 40 minutes ago)

[@justinhamilton9381]

Phil, the Josh Scott of guitars… 😊

[@Riverking1]

Guitar Center has one for $899.

[@ericgiova1663]

Never heard of this brand before. Good find. Thanks for that.

[@autokrohne]

These are awesome guitars! I found a used one years ago. Very light, plays great and sounds incredible!

[@einjarjar]

I've played quite a few of these. They are really good and stable guitars. No dead spots at the neck, the weather doesn't really affect them, they sustain their notes nicely, the sound has really buttery mids and they are really solid. Back in the day they had only vintage styled setups, but nowdays you can have a heavier setup with Emg's as well. The only thing what has kept me away from them is the fact I hate carved tops. If they had a f.e. RG-like body, that would be a instant buy. They also sell their necks, but I'm no luther enough to equip my Ibanez with one.

[@GuyNAustin]

I think the neck sounded thick and lush, and articulate. One of the best I’ve heard recently. The lipsticks overall, really produce a beautiful clean. Very nice sounding.

[@shock3863]

Like it! Thick single coil tone, unusual but cool

[@Riverking1]

That looks and sounds great. There's one at Guitar Center for $899. Get it while you can. I'm not in the market rn or I'd have it.

[@Riverking1]

Man, that's a guitar techs dream!

[@bobbydill6388]

Have been watching these for a few years. Felt like I was the only one. LOL. Always seemed like a real value used.

[@abergreg]

I've been a fan of these for a decade, there are loads of model options, superb guitars.

[@jlepre752]

Wow what a beautiful guitar. Reminds me more of a Majesty. Especially the handshake.

[@Cbcw76]

Phil, I really appreciate - enjoy - how well your audio setup is so that your electric-guitar playing sounds PERFECT - just outta the box. Because of your mics, their placement, etc. Thanks for going that.

[@Cbcw76]

I had questions about the neck's material, and the nut, too, all of which are answered on the vendor's website. Phil, I appreciate your comment about the likely need to replace the cable-jack with that same product. Not my favorite answer but I'd hate to waste time scrounging my bin and then discovered, 'I'm wasting my time - git the real thang."

[@kennethjoiner2028]

Beautiful guitar. I like everything about it. Congratulations.

[@MashaT22]

I’d love to see a video demonstrating caliper measurements on a variety of popular acoustic and electric guitars. Stuff like the string spacing, nut and saddle dimensions, depths for cavities, etc. Same about radius and other gauges. It’s difficult to find out where to take each measurement. I also have trouble seeing if my neck is straight and knowing how to use one of those blue music nomad tri-tools for nearly every neck situation because I often see light passing through the gauge even when I think the neck is straight - and I don’t know if it’s where I’m placing it, whether it might happen with some necks with a more curved radius, etc. I don’t know if there’s a standardized rule of thumb of measuring guitars as to where/how to place these gauges, and whether these rules vary depending on each guitar model/specs, but it would be nice to have a video guide on KZbin or photo guide on a website to follow for a variety of measurements and measurement gauges. Thanks, Phil!

[@TylerSeanRidley]

I've always found that using a stew Mac neck shim for bolt on necks is either placebo or worth the experiment

[@moveoutdrawfire]

I've heard of them. Looking forward to watching the rest of this video.

[@jshearer94]

Very cool! Thanks for sharing

[@kristopherkrahl1597]

Great vid Phil...appreciate ya!

[@GlennMichaelThompson]

Seems like a really great guitar. As someone who has never been much of a strat guy.... I like this Flaxwood a lot! One of these could fill in my "Stratless" collection! Thanks Phil!

[@ThrillingTwo]

Thanks for videos like this, Phil

[@billtownsend]

I have had 2. My latest is outfitted with Liquifire and Crunch Lab pickups and it screams. Amazon craftsmanship that reminds me of Aristides instruments.

[@ey870]

Looks and sounds cool - great find

[@jimmyjames2022]

Well those pups sound awesome, mix P90 and Strat single but with unique tone, and the Flaxwood looks sweet! These folks deserve the exposure.

[@Yardbird68]

LOVE the color!! Will I get one, no. But, I ALWAYS enjoy watching the deep dives, VERY interesting and fascinating indeed.

[@konstantingrishunin7665]

Hi Phil, nice video! It can be that the switch is Schaller Megaswitch.

[@csh9853]

Just when you think you've seen everything on guitars then you bring out this nice but very different guitar.

[@papasmamas1]

Always loved the look of this things!

[@tmsglobal5848]

Thanks doing this review. I have seen a version or two of guitars from this company but could never figure out the details. Felt great, look good but I didn’t know much about the brand or quality. So I used to skip trying it out. Now I know better.

[@Tangent_Frank]

I found a builder called "Haywire" and they make an improved Fender classic designs and retail new for over $2,000 but are up on their reverb store for like $800. Made in USA and very cool options. They had an X-light Strat that had an advertised weight of 5.5 pounds, Strandberg weight.

So a normal used price for a 2k guitar?

[@GeorgeVaaeth-kc9wc]

That's a pretty clean sound.Strat players should love that thing.

[@Uncle_Gray]

That's what I thought right from the start It's an unique one

[@RonH-tf7gi]

The whole rig has a nice growl to it!!

[@dbspecials1200]

And in the U.S. we call "Flax" wood "Pergo" flooring. but it is tough, I must say.

[@TylerSeanRidley]

O ya!?

[@timchalmers1700]

Very interesting!! Sounds great! And yeah, you can make it rock!

[@timbaxter9932]

It reminds me of a Danelectro with the lipstick p/u's and unusual materials. WOW what look though!

[@garymcaleer6112]

Sweet sound.

[@adt501]

I looked at these a couple weeks ago they were for the most part under a grand, not now

[@Chris-yq7xv]

Wow! I guess you really do learn something new everyday - never heard of that brand. Not to keen on the "marble/quartz" body look though. Hey Phil, I see you really like that Synergy amp since it's been featured quite a bit lately on your channel. Do you think its possible to see the Supro Amp Head featured sometime on guitar of the day? Enjoy your channel immensely and look forward to the Friday Pod Casts! Chris

[@robertbaker3126]

Very nice I like it and it's green😊

[@GuitarGearGyan]

These guitars are now going to skyrocket in price.

[@GaryBertolo]

Jeff "Skunk" Baxter plays one of these rockers... ¡¥¡

[@sounddesignerinc.1770]

nice work! hi from chicago!

[@andrewcampos5926]

Well, I don’t see any on eBay. And the ones on Reverb are over a grand.

[@Riverking1]

Guitar Center. $899.

[@prsmantse1]

This thing kinda reminds me of my Brian Moore. Really cool guitar for sure

[@123pap]

Kinda digging it sounds good too

[@stephenmccain-wx2jy]

I bought a p90 version with the f hole about a year ago from GC for under 600 bucks.They didn't know what they had.

[@justdave9783]

Looks like a great guitar. The logo design is a bit unfortunate as the stylized "f" in the midst of block text, at first glance, looks an awful lot like the First Act logo.

[@carlc2597]

Ohh no….

[@Riverking1]

They're probably not familiar with that brand.

[@justdave9783]

@@Riverking1 I'd never hear of it until I watched the video. I will be on the lookout for it in local shops now.

[@tiagoramalhais5493]

Some time ago i was looking at their eplacement necks as they seem great value, i didn't go through because they pre-drill the holes with threaded nut inserts and provide matching machine screws so in the likelihood that there's a mismatch between your guitar pocket and the neck you are literally screwed.

[@BrentAdams]

Great Deals can be found if you look past the Most Popular....... Very Nice.

[@Mark_Media]

Almost sounds to me like a Flaxwood would sound better for a bass guitar, What do you think Phil? Do they make Basses?

[@supermario2100]

For posterity, 4 hours after this video was posted, the cheapest Flaxwood on Reverb is $1k, most around $1500. We'll see how this changes after this video is out for a bit lol.

[@rautapieru]

The most underrated guitar!

[@buck7477]

Sounds really good!

[@GahMehGrrrr]

I think they should mount the pickups from the rear. I love my Parker deluxe and classic because, although not mounted from the rear, the aesthetic is the same.

[@sentforth5]

Awesome! You should hunt down a KRITZ GUITAR. Those were epic!

[@rodneydickleman297]

check to see if the switch toggles in addition to sliding. You might have a freeway switch. The PCB looks vaguely like what I put in my tele

[@michaelstevenanderson4961]

Interesting guitar. It's body is made with natural fiber-reinforced thermoplastic through a patented injection molding process. I love that Schaller Tremolo too. I'd replace the volume & tone knobs, but otherwise, not bad, not bad at all.

[@rickc2102]

can't help but think with the lipsticks, a series/parallel switch for positions 2 and 4 to get that dano sound...

[@jamesonpace726]

Always wondered why you seemed down on Epi, Squire, etc, but now I get it....

[@dennislydon-dt4mq]

Sweet sound, cool look

[@martinclayton7260]

How well did the trem stay in tune? It reminds me of the Berlin pro guitar. I love the colour.

[@johnpeccarelli2389]

It has the nice “plingy” almost banjo-like tone, much like the REVO Surfmaster Thinline Twin- just something different from a Tele, Firebird or PRS.

[@GaryArmstrongmacgh]

This is a neat guitar!

[@marzarnold9039]

Been trying not to buy anything lately. This is not helping Phil. Lol! For real though I do appreciate the instrument and it does seem to have its own sound. Very nice.

[@SonOfNiall]

Where can I find those Schaller 4201 tremolos showcased on these guitars? I'm dying to put one on my SG, but I can't find one anywhere. Do I have to go to Germany?

[@raytorvalds3699]

Lol, no. You don't have to go to Germany. If you look for "Schaller 4201 Retrofit" you'll find them.

[@monmixer]

wow, That's Fender Mustang weight. Cool.

[@joesatchton212]

@Phil: are those trem springs easy to find/replace? I've never seen guitar trem springs that short. And just for kicks, you should do a viewer blind sound test of this guitar and a PRS - you know, cuz this one ain't got no tonewoods. :P I am sure that would be revealing and interesting content as this thing sounds pretty sweet. This one is more compelling and reasonably priced than say Aristedes full composite axes.

[@Zundfolge]

I kinda want to know more about the bridge. Do you have any videos on that particular tremelo? I have a couple of projects where that might be the perfect solution.

[@glaucosouza1971]

Hey Phil, what about an Edwards next?

[@davidmgill]

Calm yourselves kids, the cheapest on Reverb is still over $1200 USD plus delivery from Slovakia.

[@samizdat113]

The modern equivalent of a mid 90's Carvin.

[@j17wmk2]

Looks like an early Eggle guitar.

[@lauscho]

I've gotten to play one before. Excellent guitars. Shame the only dealer of them in my city was kind of an odd fellow... in an unpleasant way.

[@Dudeitsmeee]

you COULD pick them up for a fraction of they go for new.... THANX PHIL!! (half kidding.. we now how these things end up)

[@Pon-farrLovin3]

The title to this video sounds like a sales pitch

[@GaryBertolo]

Looks like Italian Marble!!! ¡¥¡

[@slimsantilli4476]

I remember those

[@pablotoo]

That’s a Schaller switch Phil.

[@docforsberg7511]

Pricing is the Oden God of these market followers. Pat Traverse sang, “It Makes No Difference”. He started out on a used Melody Maker.

[@icefenix3187]

I think it's a Megaswitch. Stewmac sales them.

[@claudiajay8291]

?? Put that one on my list … 😮

[@g-love6507]

Is Flaxwood the brand name of these guitars ?

[@tomireunanen8033]

Yep, it is.

[@tiagoramalhais5493]

Looks like a Schaller mega switch

[@shanewalton8888]

Green guitars Rulez!!

[@DMSProduktions]

Does it come wid de Finnish source?

[@linvesel]

No longer available at below 1500 price point. Philip is the last one to get a deal on this lol

[@SculptyWorks]

Aaaand the cheap ones are all sold and the remaining ones the price went up! 😅

[@womplestilskin]

I think that top shaping is very similar to or is German carve. It's also one of the more hideous styling flourishes IMO.

[@trapin68]

What is the guitar on the floor to your right?

[@Bonsai_Mesquite]

D’Angelico I believe.

[@texanleons]

I'd give you 250 for it.

[@dippadai]

I, a Finnish guitarist with ~30 years of experience, haven't ever heard of this company.

[@TylerSeanRidley]

Now you have and you're from mad a gas car

[@ScottRinseRepeat]

Not anymore.

[@brianhansen-hj3ml]

Apparently on youtube it’s against the law to point at pickups using your index finger and middle finger? Index and pinkie only; the pickup pointing bull horns.🤟 weird!

[@TylerSeanRidley]

I read an article, scientific one about how they reanimated the fossilized stratovarous wood grain with fungus. Sorry about that. LoL

[@mikeymumblesreal]

Not exceptionally bright. Maybe the amp settings? Beautiful construction. Unbelievably gorgeous.

[@9unslin9er]

RIP price
