Phil X is BACK! 1966 Fender Telecaster 01397

[@DS-gv5fs]

This guy has always made me grin from ear to ear and remind me of the reason of why I play guitar.

[@NickShillitoMusic]

Strangely, I find Phil X to be the most inspiring guitarist

[@danyb8078]

Because of his high energy, charisma and super positive attitude, to certain folks, he sometimes comes off as arrogant or pompous on these videos but I hung out with him a bunch of times and he is the sweetest, coolest guy you would ever meet who also happens to be pretty high profile in the music biz.

[@cyb3r3vil30]

Extremely talented guitarist X is A.D.D on steroids

[@jaylunaguitar]

Same!

[@RowdyGrunt]

You spotted a phenom about to go huge, of course it's strange! I'm with ya, from then till now. Phil's about as awesome as a human being can be. Not often one can say that these days!

[@planetdog1641]

best guitar demo on u tube. Tired of people jamming jazz, parts of songs, not playing chords, playing boring scales to backing tracks. etc. Phil is da bomb

[@pewdaiperthegreat5931]

Edward Middlecamp Bwuäää!!! Let's kill does backing tracks toddddaaay!!!. WhOoooooo!!!

[@aquatichighs]

I agree with the jazz that shit has gotten way too common.

[@peachmelba1000]

That's the best sounding Tele I've ever heard.

[@Texturas75]

I feel the same, but I wonder how much of that great sound comes from the amp.

[@lennonforever40]

+Texturas75 it's always the amp. The guitar is just the dick, the amp is the BALLS

[@Texturas75]

I think the amp is the most important part of tone, then follows the pickup, then the guitar.

[@NotEvenRelevant]

The credit goes to Phil ,He could take any half ass decent guitar even a squier and make it sound great..:)

[@joeshlong9614]

It’s always the PLAYER. Give a great player shitty gear and it will sound better than a shitty player with top stuff. Besides that yeah amp and pickup is what really affects the tone

[@topher1102]

this guy is AWESOME!!! I love his enthusiasm and passion so much it's amazing!

[@natangalvao148]

Topher Chia you said everything

[@steveknucklebones2501]

That might be the most amazing guitar I've heard ever. Chunky...just the right amount of twang...not brittle...wonderfully resonant. All I can say is wow.

[@geovaniefloresnaturalbodyb701]

Man theres just nothing like a tele, fun as hell to play and it rocks

[@marcalmendonca803]

Awesome Tele tones! Probably most versatile eletric guitar project. Congrats for the play. Cheers from Brazil 😊

[@goingbonzo5923]

I cant believe I am still watching this guy here. He cracks me up and jams at the same time.

[@slytoffcntr]

Geezus!! The more I watch Phil, the more I appreciate how full his body of work is - and how freakin-amped he is as a person. Perfect mix!!

[@dextergelfand7465]

Love this guy! If I was going to grow up, he's who I would want to grow up to be! :-)

[@yutuubfreak]

one of the most beautiful sounding guitars from frettedamericana in a while!

[@ForViewingOnly]

The 3 double espressos kicked in by the end of the video... bet they had to strap him down until the madness passed. I LOVE PHIL X!!!

[@bluehornet6752]

Only three?

[@kellygrudzinski184]

My 1999 Big Apple Strat is that same color! I switched out the double pearly gates p-ups and put in '61-'62 Single Coils loaded pick guard. Love it!

[@jpaxe]

One of the best demo sessions yet. Nicely done!

[@RiloRox]

i could watch him play and sing all day long... Phil you made my day!

[@pooritech]

Mr Phil X I wish you a happy birthday! You are an inspiring person... You look very free and simple! You're great! Long live the X!!!

[@b.rodclark7349]

Phil X has shown why i love Tele twang!

[@Dogboy1960]

I just found Phil's videos recently.......WOW! Incredible ear for this and awesome talent playing it all. Lost in the great guitar work is a damned good voice for a lot of the vocals he takes a crack at while playing all this stuff. I've seen an awful lot f players over the years and I'm not sure I remember anyone who could cover so many different songs and styles so well.

[@BJH515]

I absolutely love Lake Placid Blue. My Strat is LPB and I never get tired of looking at it.

[@123456jdude]

Phil has to be the coolest person to jam with. He's defiantly one of my idols!

[@denizhanThe]

Wow man, such a great energy and Phil X is a kind of a guy who we all want to see in the "rock scene", always. Cheers man! Have a good one.

[@sam_elvsen]

Man, who said a strat is better than a tele sucks! Sound is so clean and very dirty when u wanted to be. And i love that spunkiness to it !!

[@planetdog1641]

thanks for showing the tele is a great rock guitar. Everyone other demo wants to generalize it as country guitar.

[@michaelridenour7159]

7

[@headwhop26]

I love this video! The extreme close-ups are awesome, the sound is awesome, Phil is awesome, the guitar is awesome

[@MarkMaysey]

Man you inspire me to hang on to my 66 in favor of an F-5 mandolin. I've always been a little more acoustic, but every now and then I like to pick up the electric. Good playing and nice guitar!

[@hmahmo]

Freaking love Phil's enthusiasm! Funny guy!

[@CaptainRiff]

Phil X is somewhere between an insane player and simply insane !! Keep it up !!

[@zziggymaan]

The return of philx videos just made my entire spring break, and it just started today! Love these videos man, they always make everything better. Keep em coming! Cheers. :)

[@willguitar83]

Great as always PhilX and the frettedamericana crew! Very nice tele! I noticed when he said " middle position both pickups in" it sounded a lot like a neck pickup on it's own! He said it's a 52 tele wiring,if so the wiring on that guitar is like so : Position 1=Bridge on it's own with tone control Position 2 =Neck pickup Position 3=Neck pickup with no tone control,and with all the treble off,that's why it sounds bassy. Now, in the middle position, the tone control acts as a blend knob for

[@elephantricity]

Probably the coolest tele I've ever seen.

[@Kukyodragonfly]

Man... i love the sound of this tele, i keep watching this video and it still amazes me

[@MilitantOldLady]

Phil is an important commodity to any company. I'd personally totally trust his judgement on gear.

[@RickStar72]

don't ever stop phil. you're the man brother

[@DegeratX]

Roxanne gave me chills. Truly an amazing sound coming out of that guitar.

[@Stepi0087]

This is the best sounding Tele. Keep rockin' Phil! Greetings from Italy!

[@Lovemylovething]

Awesome,"From the future" is my favorite Drills song. @EfxPedalBoards true, but I see no trouble here - Phil just plays the Hell out of every Guitar he gets his hand on. No matter what Axe we may have, cheap or expensive, we should all take inspiration from his dedication and enthusiasm! Keep on Rockin' X Man!

[@rafabcarvalho]

By far that's my favourite color for a vintage tele or strat, even the name sounds cool, Lake Placid Blue! Gotta love it! Specially the ones with rosewood fretboard.

[@rydes68]

that's one sweet tele, love phil x's enthusiasm...

[@AkisColdplay]

His voice just keeps getting better!

[@greyarea1004]

This guy would be the ultimate person to tour with in a band

[@pippipster7705]

If you want to be driven insane, yeah ...

[@wungabunga]

Rosewood and lake placid blue. Gorgeous.

[@effzee]

Am I right in my impression that Phil really gets extra inspired and excited whenever he's play a Tele?

[@Bluebuthappy182]

Sweet sounding guitar. Resisted Tele's for a long, long time going with the strat but got one eventually and have to say love it.

[@ineedalaught]

Loved it, Phil! Bringin' the house down at 12:11 is just plain awesome!

[@crazyjoe1540]

This is by far the best fretted americana video!

[@jpb1231000]

He's on a Tele! Maybe I,m crazy but NOTHING' Gibson wh eva and Strats just aint got it for my taste, I man some people sound great on gretches and Les pauls but a tele or RL Burnside had a pawn shop SOMETHING that was unbelievable! I don mean a thang if it aint got dat TWANG!

[@localcrew]

Love the close up shot where you can see the cracks in the finish. That's a great color too. And "Heavy Metal" by Sammy totally rocks! Always love to hear that song. Now I'm gonna check out some "Goddo"!!

[@dondonaudio8191]

Me and my friends watched this video in 2012 and "Roxanne" changed since this day. We all scream the chorus in Phil´s style whenever it is played. Rooooooooooxanne

[@ozzyayres1]

seriously skilled Musician i wish i could play and sing at the same time its very hard because my timing keeps going out when i try to sing and play at the same time and why is this guy not world famous he is an awesome musician

[@SandpiperN121PP]

Happy Birthday Phil!!! You really are simply the best ending to everyday for me! Keep up the great work! :)

[@The.Last.Guitar.Hero.]

That Roxanne cover put a smile on my face

[@bradabbottmusic]

Telecaster and phil x make for a hell of a combo

[@GolfGuns]

I thought the review sucked but I loved watching your licks. Great color and sound. I want one. Well maybe it was a good review after all.

[@QuickestQuickChop]

Phil X is such a gem

[@hendersonskater]

I've owned one for 6 years, and i still get excited when i pick it up

[@franciscassidy2966]

never seen a tele in that color, thanks for the great video guys!

[@guitarjammer1]

I am a subscriber. Enjoy Phil X's demos of these awesome guitars.

[@pugzig4me]

I love watching and listening to you....you are cool dude...you prove you can do anything on any guitar ...don't you....cool...great voice too

[@DiedrichKnickerbocker1783]

This video is one of the best videos from Frettedamericana. Harness Strat video and 1989 Gibson Les Paul Standard. Not sure the actual year of the Les Paul, but I am close.

[@aro8338]

Phil on whatever guitar you play it sound awesome.

[@bocolis88]

How can he remember all these songs and lyrics by heart??? Respect!

[@lord1423165]

I think this is the best sounding guitar that I ve ever heard in my whole life! I want that!!!

[@princeleow2626]

He is quite entertaining actually.

[@aektzis91]

thank goodness for the new video!! i was getting phil x withdrawal symptoms :/

[@headwhop26]

haircut, new camera angle, "favorite tele ever"? Im freakin out here man

[@everettbinder2796]

I have not seen phil since feb of 2014 good to be back.

[@timcotterill3952]

Rumble, by link ray and his ray men. Excellent Phill. Mis you from the channel. 🇦🇺👍🎸

[@snappe79]

New camera set up is awesome! Phil X God Of Guitar Playing wowing like always! He helped me on Twitter by giving me advice about going to a SD Hotrails on myTelecaster. I learned from all your videos, I played already, but I got better, I just a got a job, I will buy guitars from you guys! Greatest videos on KZbin! Informative, exciting, great playing, entertaining, educational, lots of knowledge learned about vintage guitars. A++++++++

[@teknstuff1]

This guy is awesome, great place to be :-) and he is entertaining. Great musician.

[@iaz4444]

You got the Attitude! Love it, Bro. Subscribed!

[@Keepthebluesalive1]

Happy Birthday Brother Phil X --------- All the best to you God Bless. This cat is bad ass !!!!!

[@jukkakonttinen905]

Phil you are incredible

[@foocheech]

St Jude ROCKS! Thank you Phil!

[@AntmanFelix]

YAY!!! Getting my Phil X Fix!!! Like always, you guys made my day!

[@mcafee1971]

Hey Phil Your looking Healthy. Looked a little swollen before , Probably lack of rest. Great to have a new video.

[@XcatisX]

@Num471 That's a Fender XII. And those are pickups that were only put on those guitars. Essentially if you've ever seen a Precision bass, it's similar to that. Technically a single coil, but split so it's hum-cancelling. Sad they never used those pups much, they sound great. I believe FA has a Fender XII video somewhere

[@MasterSuzuki]

I love you phil X, always make guitar demos enjoyable and fucking funny much respect man from Aus

[@thechiefzero]

Happy Bday Phil Xcellent

[@marka.monroe9539]

Phil you're awesome! ✌♥

[@johnnymossville]

5:05 the guitar sold itself right here.

[@beam52]

The Human Jukebox..

[@ShaggyOtis]

AKUUUUUUU

[@holywhitehounds]

9:26 holy awesome

[@Ryan_Thompson_Guitarist]

Lake Placid Blue is the best colour for any Fender Guitar.

[@Texturas75]

One of my favorites. Is it me or only Fender guitars look like 50's cars?

[@Tim.Pierce]

+Texturas75 exactly! Leo and company modeled their looks from cars.. so did Duesenberg and Gretsch Gibsons maybe gotten the look from Oldsmobile or Chevys ;-D

[@ziad1980]

You brought out the vox, we gotta cry-baby about something!

[@glassslide]

These are so much fun---killer job!

[@Hi5M0F0]

dream guitar at the moment.
