Yngwie & Eruption?!! PHIL X! 2004 Fender Stratocaster Mary Kaye Hardtail 01135

www.frettedamer...
This is the Hardtail Stratocaster that Greg Fessler of the Fender Custom Shop made for May Kaye in late 2004. This preceeded the Custom Shop Tribute Series run of fifty special '56 'Desert Sand' Stratocasters, all with the usual tremolo. We believe this to be the only 'Hardtail' Mary Kaye Stratocaster ever produced. This fantastic and historically important guitar with a Vintage Blonde Nitro Celulose 'Spider' vein finish weighs just 6.60 lbs. and has a nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. One-piece 'Swamp' ash body, one-piece maple neck with a typical "10/56 Boat Neck Shape," and maple fretboard with 21 Vintage Style 'medium' frets and black dot position markers. Four-bolt neck plate engraved "MK 5037 / Limited Release / 2005 / Fender / Custom Shop". Three 'specially custom wound' pickups by Abigail Ybarra; all three signed "Abby" and dated "12-9-04" with perfectly balanced outputs of 5.84k, 5.84k, and 5.83k. Written in pencil on the bottom of the neck is "Mary Kaye" and beneath that is the pencil signature of Greg Fessler. The neck pickup cavity is stamped in blind "G F". All hardware gold-plated. This guitar is in mint (9.50) condition. Housed in the original Fender Vintage Tweed hardshell case with orange plush lining (9.50).

I miss these videos with phil, such a great part of the 2010s watching phil go nuts on priceless guitars.

[@tcrane8630]

everyone slagging this guy..... he's generally excited about guitar and loves to play. This guy is awesome. If we had more guys as excited about playing and having fun, we'd be depressed WAY less as a guitar community.

[@johanbrodin8629]

Slaggers=retards..

[@skippyhandleman1625]

so not everyone then.

[@matthewdrake9699]

Gotta love the internet… such a personality and a great player! No surprise he rose to the top!.. but then there are the haters! 🤦‍♂️ #jealous!

[@krimpoo]

I have never seen any slagging but whomever they are they can be ignored for being frustrated,third rate turd burglar guitar players cause phil is just a chill guy with loads of talent and enthusiasm.

[@mitchellferre1652]

Phil X. You either love or hate. I admire and share his enthusiasm. He seems to have a good ear and entertains ! Isn't that what it's all about ?

[@Connor_Bowles]

I don't think its possible to hate phil

[@GeorgeWeigle]

+Connor Bowles its possible

[@mitchellferre1652]

Jeff Smith Phil X is a rising star ! Sambora is all washed up and was never exciting. I love Phil X covering AC/DC's Back in Black !

[@ricardoricardo6058]

The latter. The guy is an effing tool

[@Daantjer]

After a couple years I still can't get enough of these videos... Phil is a genius...

[@sodds3599]

He is the Stevie Ray Vaughan of metal... noone has attacked the strings so hard since SRV... Amazingly engaged Phil X!

[@BAJARACER43X]

he just grabs a guitar plugs it in and plays, how ever it comes out is how ever it comes out, no excuses

[@ijchua]

1:34 - "Superstition" (Stevie Wonder) 2:19 - "Feels Like A Good Thing" (Michael Schenker Group) 4:00 - "Eruption" (Eddie Van Halen) 6:11 - "Evil Eye" (Yngwie Malmsteen) 7:59 - "Hush" (Deep Purple)

[@David79rebel]

m.kzbin.info/www/bejne/aGWZf56Hd7usiLc 1:11 you know this riff?many thanks..

[@captainalex8003]

That wasn’t “Superstition”, dumbass.

[@mydogprick]

very aggressive guitar player with hard attack timing...hes great love the energy!

[@frostyboo2]

He sure does "ROCK"

[@solofotis]

he used to play bouzouki, a greek instrument that has ''tougher'' strings that the guitar. i guess that's why he is so aggressive on the guitar.

[@ladariusjohnson709]

Dude needs his ass kicked

[@syarbrough8510]

Phil has made guitar playing fun again! Tons of respect for this cat! Cheers Phil!

[@retrac314]

I love how Phil can play Eruption on a single coil Strat and the tone is STILL more authentic than most other attempts at the song :)

[@FR01Z]

AND NO TREMOLO 💀

[@davidplubell6674]

@@FR01Z xD the time difference between these comments!

[@Susan-mc2rn]

This guy is growing on me.He's obviously a cool dude and he's passionate about playing.I respect his dedication to the art

[@RobHowell1]

I never heard of him until these videos but now I can’t get enough, his attitude I’d refreshing snd his playing is definitely next level

[@krazhy]

one of the best guitar demonstration of phil-X and by the way this guy somehow makes me smile.. full of energy

[@eirham2]

This is my, with out a doubt, favorite Phil X vid. He is so energetic and happy and he plays awesome songs. Please do never stop making these vids. Ever. A fan from Norway.

[@giuseppetrevisan]

He is awsome! And a wonderfull guitar player! We need that kind of players that inspire us with his hapiness, thanks Phill!!

[@hooyah271]

Phil is one of the most entertaining guitar players to watch......ever! great player great attitude.

[@blueskycrying]

you got to love Phil X he's crazy as hell and very entertaining to watch and inspires me pick up my own guitar after every episode even though I play it everyday already and have for the last 20 years lol

[@massif20022000]

I have had a Malmsteen Stratocaster for about a month now. I absolutely love it. Biggest difference is for lead work, vibrato and bends. A scalloped neck is kind of like power steering for guitars. Kind of... When I go back to my Les Paul, Suhr Modern, Explorer, etc., I feel like the fretboard is in the way and prevents me from gripping the strings as well as on the Malmsteen. Perhaps not for everyone, but everyone should try one if they can.

[@richk794]

I just wanted to see someone play a cover of Eruption, holy fuck! Wasn’t expecting this! He’s like the Chris Farley of guitarists, this guy rules 👍

[@Maryonpark]

This bloke's brilliant. He always seems like he's having so much fun! Fantastic player too!

[@Feckerhead]

Eddie Van Halen and Sammy Hagar had a child, results Phil X!

[@jayrobb9]

+Feckerhead Now you made me think of Sammy Hagar having sex. Shame on you!

[@soundpainter2590]

Feckerhead We've, all seen, Wolfie.. ..... NOT EXACTLY....EVH, ON BASS....Try Again....

[@JamesUnityFuchs]

That’s some funny shit. Prince was living proof that little Richard f%#ked Librachi

[@frettedamericana]

we never rehearse... we try to keep it spontaneous! he doesn't know what guitars he'll play til the day of!! pretty bad ass eh??

[@olecranonrebellion9976]

J James Nichols sucks.

[@TheCjbowman]

Phil fuckin' rocks.

[@jbubal]

this guy is another thing. he plays with such enthusiasm that i can't help but laugh or smile in many parts of this video, lol. and he is very skilled too, obviously.

[@markjksembola8112]

NO MAN ,ITS THE STYLE FOR A AMAZING ARTIST -RESPECT THAT!

[@BADWlNG]

Thanks to Phil X and all those involved in making these videos. I enjoy the super "out of my league" dream guitars and watching someone else that loves to play as much as I do. Although my talent is nowhere near that of Phil, I know my passion for playing is. I consider you and the crew to be old friends in a way since I have watched these videos over and over. Thanks for taking the time and sharing.

[@ironpirites]

I'd never heard of this guy. I really like him. He convinces in a lot of styles, changing at the drop of a hat. You have to be seriously talented to do that. The only really big rock star, who comes to my mind, that can do that kind of thing with such facility, who is famous, is Steve Stevens. Most of the other people can only do their own thing convincingly.

[@AlexPractical]

Used to hate this guy, but over the years, he's grown on me a lot. He's got his quirks but who doesn't. Anyway, this is a good demo to show that a Stratocaster is capable of damn near anything.

[@48back]

"I make mistakes too" Phil that is why we love you man!!!!!

[@ak1969]

Yes, it would. I really like to see people doing their stuff when they really like their job and give their 100% for that. My vote for this guy to join RHCP!

[@splendora]

I don't know if that guy is the happiest man on earth or if he's the biggest junky of all times, but for sure is one of the most underrated and rock'n'roll guitarist I've ever heard!

[@cityfan4ever]

I wanted to play guitar when i was 13 and i gave up after a month.. this video made me want to learn again almost 4 years later and i'm saving up for a cheap strat copy

[@XIDoStuffX]

"It could be about dishes... But NO!" haha he's awesome

[@mwdanny]

Love this guys overall attitude. He's an awesome Shredder with some good groovy feel and is just having fun.

Phil X is a good player and cool dude..you won't be bored if you hung around with him!!!! Keep rocking buddy!

[@wallacecarvalho5032]

This guy is awesome... think that I now know who inspired Jack Black. LOL.

Dude the tone is absolutely amazing. Crazy how you could replicate Eddie’s tone on a hard tail strat with single coils😵‍💫😵‍💫😵‍💫

[@anthonycosta2662]

How can u not luv Phil X, come on!

[@amadetto2271]

It’s spelled “love”, not “luv”, idiot

[@twillbanks]

Lmao "uh, I forget that lick!" Dude, you are AWESOME! Loved the vocal scream at the end of the Schenker.

[@jimmysinister9960]

say what you want, but dude can play quite f***ing well. if you don't have something good to say about someone, then don't say anything. i know i can't play some of the stuff he does. everyone is different. if everyone was the same it would be a pretty f***ing boring world.

[@sacredgeometry]

So we should just not say anything about Kim Jong Un by that logic. :rolls eyes: Critique is healthy.

[@jimmysinister9960]

sacredgeometry why are you comparing a dictator and politics to a musician? did mommy not give you enough attention growing up.are you looking for an argument.are you angry? do you need a hug? a drug? i have nothing but love for you man.critique is good.critique away. it takes a man to look into his self.

jimmy sinister logic is logic ... but then I assumed you had some common sense :) Apparently that was too generous. Never mind, take care.

it's my attempt at humor.

Wait, that lone turquoise Fender sitting in the corner looks just like the one from Spinal Tap, where he says he can't touch it or look at it, lol.

[@SoloFalcon1138]

+Joe Blow that's a Jaguar in the back. the Spinal Tap guitar was a Fender Bass VI.

[@zZrEtRiBuTiOnZz]

+Solo Falcon1138 Yeah, I think the very next video I watched after I typed that was him actually playing the guitar from Spinal Tap, but that guitar was still sitting in the corner, so yeah. Weird, that I thought about it, and then he actually had the guitar in the very next video though, lol.

haven't touched the guitar in six months... watched a few of your videos and i've played every day this week... thanks

What is that last song he plays?

[@DillonBerkley]

***** A very unorthodox version of Hush by Deep Purple. Fantastic tune.

[@primeDecomposition]

He tears into the guitar with utter reckless abandon, not unlike SRV in that regard. I get the sense that the guitar could melt in his hands at any second. Pretty cool.

[@LambdaObjection]

I prefer Phil X's version of Eruption.

[@domainzz]

After i watch Phil playing guitar, the actual artist playing skill is the most important factor and then the instrument.

Jealousy is a hell of a mind trip.

[@luisforeal8676]

Jeff DeMarcus is right.

[@PulsatileAbdomen]

haha I love Phil X for trying to play Yngwie Malmsteen stuff even when he knew he wouldn't sound great doing it! really, his fans (including me) doesn't matter if he shreds exactly like Malmsteen or not, we just wanna hear him play and rock out!

[@fredzungri5835]

Seems the guitar is almost as good as the drugs

[@Dedalusalley]

One of the best distorted tone that I've ever heard in a Phil X video, absolutely amazing!

[@joevid1992]

This dude is funny as hell! He does not give a sh!t what anyone thinks. He f's up and laughs, other people would feel embarrassed but he doesn't have that emotion.

Phil X exhibits the all the necessary skills of a top-rate musician: Master guitarist, can sing while playing, and funny as shi+ ... all at the same time.

@ericou812 in the form of waves of electricity. this is sent to an amplifier to get amplified, and to a speaker to be converted into waves of air pressure (i.e. sound). The pitch of the sound produced by either of these methods is controlled by how fast the string vibrates. The higher the frequency of vibrations, the higher the pitch will be. When a string is tighter, or shorter, it vibrates faster. Each string of a guitar is a different thickness, to allow different....
