Phil you are one of the best guitar players and vocalists ive ever seen

I love it when phil shreds like crazy. and then stops and goes, "yea something like that" completely calm

0:35 Oh thank god lol I was really confused when he didn't scream at first haha :D

Phil X nickname should be Shres X! 24/7 he delievers and of all the videos I have watched, I now realize why Phil X is so sought after. He is an all around guitarist. He can play anything! He makes me want a vintage telecaster. When I finish college, I'm visiting, to get a badass guitar from you guys! Phil needs 2 do instructional videos! He has shown me to open my mind to other music styles. I thank him & frettedamericana for having him host your vids! Thanks a million!

I challenge myself everyday by just getting out of bed. Thank you Phil.

The first 3 minutes of this video was mind blowing - In fact, the whole thing was

Phil, met you at NAMM jan 2010. You are ON FIRE!!!!! Great vid,,,

I Wish My Beer Was As Cold As Your Heart, that solo freakin ROCKS!!! I can listen to it all day long. Thank you Phil!!!!

Van Halen on a tele. Its the player not the gear.

Yet another great review of a classic guitar. EXCELLENT sound for the full resistor forward switch position tone. I built an Esquire and could NEVER get that tone bright enough for it to be workable, and I had an ebony fretboard to liven up the strings a bit.It's a hard tone to get right and this Esquire is better than most for it. Great playing by Phil X as usual. Take care guys and thanx for the vid.

Man I want an Esquire so much..

So much talent and so much knowledge in one human....and a sense of humor! Keep doing these videos!

yay, phil is back!!!

Couldn't help but smile watching Phil rock out. This is the Phil we love. And that is some nasty grinding tone, btw. Yes!!!

Hey, isn't this the guitar that Rob Chapman swore by? Damn great guitar!

at 2min 5sec into this vid i was comfortable in choosing the like button! phil x is the shit! all others wish they had a pinch of that talent! ROCK ON PHIL!

Love Phil's take on Will it go round in circles? Spent the last 2 days working out all the bits. Too cool. Think he did it on another video so if anyone remembers which one, let me know. Phil, you both rock & funk. Keep'er lit bro.

weeee! Always fun to watch, brightens days everywhere. Also, beautiful tele.

easily my favorite vids/channel on youtube

@Phil X - great show! As always. @FA, awesome guitar.

Amazing as always!

No homo. I've missed this man.

I've watched nearly every Phil video, and his cover of Romeo's Delight has got to be my favorite, I feel like he was trying to send a message.

Man that was one of the best videos yet!!!!

I play esquire squire,replaced the PU for a better PU and this guitar sings and growles just great!

that thing sounds raw as hell!

It sounds like you guys have improved the sound quality of these videos, sounds awesome, keep on rockin'!!!

I love Romeo Delight! Nice job Phil!!

@boredtodelusionFan yes, but i would buy a another pickguard to put the pickup in so you can keep the original if you wanted to go back.

@AntmanFelix The cap is the top. They rout out the pickup and electronic holes into the body, then put a big fat chunk of maple over it.

Phil, I have watched ALL your demos! Even on guitars that I would never buy/be able to afford. Man, you are a killer guitar player! I wish I had your confidnece. You make ANY guitar sound great bro!! I bought teles/esquires because of the tones you showed me those guitars can have. Are you guys coming to Chicago, The Drills I mean? Also, one day I hope to fly out and shake your hand for getting back into guitar man. Thank you. Thank you yo Fretted Americanna for producing these awesome demos!

Phil..... Thanks for bringing us all a little closer to your world! I love to watch your guitar genius. I've seen about all the videos you've made for F.A. and your personal bands and a lot of the gigs you've done. Followed you through the Bon Jovi fill in for Richie Sambora (great job man!!!) and really enjoyed it. I have a request if you ever have time and the inclination to play it.... Thin Lizzy... they rocked! Can you do some Jailbreak? It's an awesome display of guitar to me, love it!

im soo buying the new record. its sounds incredible! you rock phil!!

Wow that thing rocks!!!!!

One more thing, Phil, "flippin out" from1989 is amazing! You can play anything! You are way underrated. Saw your Bon Jovi solos, fantastic!! You sing and play better than Richie. Sorry Richie. Anways, I never compliment because everybody does that. I'm sure you hear it all the time. I just wanted you to know that you are an inspiration.

@philx1111 Well, thanks for the correction. Right after I posted it I realized I had it wrong. Also, you've been a tremendous help to me on guitar in the past year, keep rocking Phil!

Phil x has this way of making me want every guitar he plays!

that guitar never imagined van halen would be played on it

Phil x using a phillips screw driver! Awesome. Amazing guitar!

awesome stuff

ive been waiting forever for a new video...

wooo an esquire !!! i love these bad boys

Good stuff as always

liked the lil taste of Dazed and Confused. rock on bro.

How can you not love this guy's act? So funny too. OK watch this .. Phil: "And this may be a one of a kind." Me: "Yeah, except for the one on the wall directly behind you!"

Takumi IS awesome - great stuff. He's like the wind ....

@2minutestomammoth It's the melody master sg with one single coil pickup and the maestro type tremolo. Phil did a demo of it here a while back. Check it out.

Phil could be used as a power station for Las Vegas!

@philx1111 Thanks :) that was awesome. It's hard to remember everything you have played when I've seen all of the FA demos. Yep I'm a Phil-X junkie :D

Just made my day - well, it`s allready night here in good old europe - but thx for uploding a new vid :-)

@TheJawProject Yes, there's an Esquire behind him, but we can't tell if it has a maple cap or not....

HOLY SHIT THAT GUITAR SOUNDS FREAKIN' AWESOME! REMINDS ME OF THESE STOOGES SOUND OR MAYBE LOOALIKE YOU KNOW TRUE ROCK

I was at that band camp that he mentioned at 3:08...random trivia The next year he was my councellor :D

one of a kind with a maple cap

Remember, you might not get the same results as the one her in the video, because this one here is vintage.. That aged wood really makes a difference.

Phil is awesome.

Amazing.

I'm convinced... Esquire it is!

Only just noticed how Van Halen-ish a lot of Drills stuff sounds... I like it

The "pickup selector" changes the capacitors to change the sound of the 1 pickup as well. Instead of changing between neck and bridge positions.

That solo, man. Shit. It's almost Django-esqe. Hat's off to you man.

dude is that sound coming from the secret pickup, neck position, hiding under the pick guard? just kidding, wish I had your energy bro. kept it up, you da man.......

Dude you're awesome !

@prettycolors2 typo, my bad

only on this vids there aro 0 haters Phil... respect

love it

does anyone else wanna buy these guitars just because phil played them?

long time no see!!

Man, when I saw there's a new video I was like "holy sh*t YES!"

Was just for 6 days. Have some videos in the frettedamericana playlist.

i remember a tv show (i think it was one of those "breakfast tv" type talkshows or something) with phil at the end with a band playing "will go round an circles" or whatever. funny thing was, he was playing his modded out white tele and he had like 1 inch of hair! but still energetic and the same as he is today!

Romeo Delight in there! Great song. a band who do a good cover of that: Annihilator. Your fellow Canadian Jeff Waters does a great job on the guitar parts!

Mr. Phil great playing as always :) In a last few days I have watched almoust all your vids for frettedamericana, and they are just great... Great energy and creativity :D I think that You would be also a great actor :D Greetings from Croatia and rock on!!! \m/ :)) oh yes... could you try to play something from Clarence Gatemouth Brown ? :)

I love that move at 02:33 :D :D

Romeo Delight!!!! Yes, now that's how you get a Friday going!!!! Up next, Hear About It Later?????

Most of them don't have maple caps, that's what makes this one different!

First I would like to say a big thank you to all at Fretted Americana for the best guitar videos on KZread, great job!! Next I would just put in a request for your next video. Could you possibly play Mr. Big's 1992 hit "To Be With You" or even "In The Ghetto" by Elvis "The King" Presley? Thanks again, hope everything's all right, Luke.

@insertnameplx They're made by Dunlop, called 'Lok Straps', about £4 delivered in the UK from Amazon

@vadrada I've found tha song, it's " Will It go round in circle " by Billy Preston

I WAS AT THE ROCK CAMP

Phil X, you are totally badass.

NOOOO! Now ill have to wait a whole week for next video.

I was annoyed until he started totally rocking, and I got over it :) Esquires rule.

"YAAEYAE!"

@GaveDrohl1 no esquier was the first solidbody electric guitar from fender back in 1950 not a prototype.

i tink it could be a good tradition to write in description what songs phil-x played duruing demo and give a credits to songwriters)

i want that guitar!!

The Jeff Beck Yardbirds guitar.

the thunder bird with the p90s by the other esquire and red tele looks awsome. demo please (=

@fiftieslover: That's Bring it On Home by Led Zeppelin. It's on the second album.

@TheJawProject but you can't tell if the one behind is a one piece neck. if it is it makes sense.

@frettedamericana do you guys have eny lawsuit guitars from the 70s like electra, tokai? i would love to see some of those

@yaniselmasri is hair is just so... perfect

This guitaR is cooking!!!

@Warning217 green (88mm) STAR picks
