"A lotta $300 guitars." Goddamn, that's my kinda store.

Dime is smiling down....

The guitar world would be a better place if there were more people like you.

Nice just subscribed

I wish more people would help these younger kids out like this. Good job Phil!

Well done Phil. You gave that guitar what it needed, not changes "just because".

...and the next day, I bought that amp sitting on the counter! haha

Love the giving back mentality. Your kindness is very genuine. Thanks for being you, that was awesome!

Such a nice thing to do!:-) That was just a real deal SOLID to toss a unsuspecting everyday guy with. That makes me! Feel good to see a pay it forward type situation. I hope this causes more people to just do something nice when they get the opportunity.

Phil, this is amazing! so nice of you to do these types of things. A proper setup with these part upgrades will absolutely turn the guitar into a beast, nothing like a sweet playing guitar. Cheers from Toronto!!

I enjoyed the Pantera at the end of the video :)

I absolutely love it when you guys pull off a good deed like this. Especially for a youngster that gets a more bang for his buck. Keep up the great work & you guys rock. Much love. The world is a much better place with good hearted guys like you rockin it, for sure.

Awesome video! The world needs more Philip McKnights!

You are truly a beautiful soul Phil!!!! I really hope that kid appreciates and learns eventually exactly how lucky he was. The fact that the video's only been up for a couple of days and has almost 30,000 views should tell him something.

Love love love this...I just quit my profession as producer and director of branded content films to create goodwill and charity projects...it’s not easy but it’s these sort of projects that keep me going. Thanks for doing this Phil, really put a smile on my face and very inspiring!

So cool you’re still doing this Phil. Luv these.

That was an awesome idea for a video. Also very generous, I hope that young man enjoys the instrument for years to come. Keep up the great work!

Awesome stuff Phil, you can tell that kid was trying to get everything he could out of his axe on a budget and he probably did the work on it himself, exactly the kind of person who deserves some love :)

What you do here Is amazing , I wish there was more people out there like you

That's so cool to hook a kid up with a rad guitar. Keep up the good work and keep that good heart man. Musicians like you are wonderful to the world.

That's awesome! I hope the kid really enjoys the upgrades.

Total class act Phil, love the Chanel, the community, the videos, the honesty and integrity. Yep Total Class Act sums it up about right. Thanks for all that you do !

Megadeth!

This is sweet. This is the first I've heard of this shop and I've been in Phoenix for 10 years. Great video!

awesome, I love the model of business of that guitar shop, and how the owner choose to pick the winner, very inspiring.

Phil is just such a stand up dude. Just made that kids day

Phil that was really cool to sharpen that kids axe. The store owner ..well done sir

And to Phil...yer one stand up guy. Pimping these axes out is pretty damn cool. I especially liked the one vid where the guy sent in his Epi Les Paul but the neck snapped from shipping (and he packed it pretty damn well). And you found the exact same axe...pimped that one. Sent it back. AND repaired the broken one as well. Just a solid move. I dig your vids homie. And I try and watch every damn one. We need more cats like you in the guitar community. I mean that.

Way to go Phillip, spreading happiness and joy!

Yea. Let this store bury Guitar Center. Zimms Gtrs rules.

Nice job. I'm happy for the owner. I could tell he was pleased. Awsome !!!

Very cool!! I picked up one of those ESP Wrenches from Stew-Mac after you talked about it in a previous video. I use it quite often.

Freakin' awesome.. both of you...the world could learn alot from guys like you.. music makes the world a better place to live in...sometimes....good on ya both.....

This is the coolest thing ever!

Love seeing stuff like this. My grandfather use to go to pawn shops and get $100 guitars and make them reasonably playable (acoustic guitars) and give them away to anyone who wanted to play. Sort of reminds of him.

Phil, you are truly a great guy. What an awesome idea! Thanks for your channel and all you do.

Pretty cool twist to those series.

Hi Phil - you may get this a lot - but your videos have helped me get the confidence to do minor improvements to my own guitar (coil splits etc.). Thanks for the videos, loving my own sharpened axe.

That was really nice of you to do that for the kid. I hope he appreciates it.

Coolest thing I’ve ever seen.. good job man! Need more people like you in the world

Very cool - two channels I dig and I wasn't even aware of the connection! Great work as always, Phil.

LOVE this series! Please keep 'em going. Cheers!

I missed a lot of the S.M.A. episodes. Enjoying working through them.

This is why I love ya Phil, you're seriously an awesome dude!

Love that he picked a kid!!! Great job!!!

That kid literally looks identical to a kid I played guitar with in high school. Him and I both keep in touch to this day over 10 years later, simply about playing guitar, or when we're all excited and giddy when we buy a new one. I hope that kid has a similar story some day.

What a great thing to do! He’s been given a great start with that guitar. Even just improving the action can make all the difference between getting fed up or making a life long player out of Jake 😊👍

That's super kind of you to do. Brilliant.

That kid is soooo overwhelmed, this made my day ^^ Also to him: Rock on! ;)

Thank you Phillip, I love Deans

Man dimebag could totally play this guitar with your mods. It sounds like a beast. Great job Phil.

Very cool. Such a sweet looking axe!!

Awesome twist on this series!! Well done, Phil - Love the job you did for this kid!! 👍

That was one of my favourite SMA! Thanks PHIL awesome.

Much more natural and open tone after the work. Well played Phil!

Great idea for a video. Nice job Phil.

I loved this. You should do a whole series just helping kids pimp their cheap gear!

It’s like pimp my guitar

My V Select had the same guts as this ML select. I completely cored the guitar and started over hardware and electronics wise. It’s a beast of a guitar now.

Wow Phil you really hooked that kid up. I hope he enjoys what he got. Nice work.

Wow this was a really cool idea! I mean, i still want my axe sharpened by you one of these days, but definitely an awesome, unique idea to sharpen up some broke teenager/ college students guitar fresh when they buy it!!!

Amazing series Phil. We look forward for more this kind of content!

I saw you one of those tools ages ago and got two. One is steel and the other aluminium, so softer than the shiny bits.

That was great Phillip. You really do make the world a better place:-)

Hi Phil, I notice you never install EMI shielding on any of the guitars you work on. Is there a reason? Do you install it on your guitars?

What a great idea. Really fun video.

You are just the coolest person. Ever.

I 'm late for the show but just wanted to say that was really cool what you did for that kid. Ya know if us adults made more small efforts like this, just maybe these kids would have a little more hope and confidence and maybe pay it back to a kid just like him some day. Thanks Phil!

And that's what it's all about right there. Great job.

Lucky kid! Awesome job.

Old video I know, but this was so awesome! 🤘 of you guys. Are you still doing these Sharpen my Axe videos? What a way to give back.

Nice thing ya did right there Phil, I am sure the guy loves that guitar now!

That's really cool Phil, and hats off to Dane ! Keep up the good work !

Great video Phil, love the idea behind this

Truly heartwarming. The kid is great. You are great. This video was great. I'm a new person.

This is so cool!

I have a Black Gold Z, most likely made alongside this ML, and it's fantastic.

Very cool Phil you did a great job lucky kid

👍🏻 You’re awesome, Phil!

Awesome idea, Phil! So cool!

Nice job Phil and Dane ! Congrats Jake ! :-)

Phillip, you are an awesome dude!

The green and white Jazzmaster looks nice

Loving these "sharpen my axe" videos. You seem very likeable, extremely knowledgeable and you're a great player. Just subscribed.

you could use some adhesive backed thin foam pads cut to shape on the ESP wrench .

Good idea, or perhaps a wrap of duck tape might even help. (If there is, indeed, a risk)

Great video Phil. Keep up the awesome work!

Very cool, 'purdy-deeds done durt-cheep'. Jake, nice work performing no fear, I freeze on camera, just a bit of history y'all can remember as friends.

A young man of few words but you could tell he liked it. Good job especially on the strap locks ( a overlooked item that saves some 💓 break )

Such a great thing to do...bet he’ll stay interested in music after that surprise! Heyyyyyy.....I have an old 80s Kramer Focus 3000 with the original Floyd (no fine tuners) that’s been around the block a few times nice I bought it new that could use your magic touch! 😉

Nice job Phil. You’re a great person.

Love seeing this, It really helped recharge my brain from the every day stresses of a musician, This kid is never going to want to put this thing down, Awesome Phil I hope the karma comes back your way.

Very cool, what great men. God bless you guys.

good dimebag tone at the end!

You are really making this a cool show. 2 thumbs up

awesome, makes me smile

Phil, that is such a cool thing to do.

Ha! Good choice Jake! Looks like I have twin brother of this guitar, korea, same color, dimebucker, grovers, schaller straplocks. Only difference is mine has chrome hardware, still stock neck pickup and my grovers are black, because costed less for some reason :)

For knobs I use a flat shoelace, get it under there and just pull straight up. No chance of damaging either the knob or the guitar.

think i will do the same to mine. just picked up a 2008 made in China ml glad I found this
