This guy is like a walking encyclopedia for rock n roll. When technology allows it, we need a clone of this dude at every guitar shop.

So great! The last real Rocker...Phil X. If he was born in the 90's he'd have led a grunge band to household name status. 70's? He'd have been in his element in Rocks' heyday in any number of Led Zep type band. The 60's, he'd have been rocking at Woodstock, no doubt! 80's? Maybe he'd have been in the first line-up of Bon Jovi...🤷‍♂️ ...But his time came in the 2010-20's...when Utube is the last venue for the dying breed of Rockers.

Hey Phil & all the guys at Frettedamericana - I love that guitar!! I think my favourite old Les Paul of all time would be a 56 Les Paul Junior in Sunburst. I got to play (only for a minute!) Richie Samboras one - its always the one that I think gets him his best tones. Anyway - can't wait to see you all in the UK sometime this year! Cheers, Lee.

This guy is a bit hyper naturally it seems, but I still enjoy watching his videos because it reminds me of why I started playing guitar when I was 12, and still playing at 60. Playing is so much fun and this guy obviously plays because of how much he enjoys everything about playing guitar. I love what he says about "it's in the hands." All the killer sounds he's getting with just the guitar and amp. Great singer as well and a walking encyclopedia of licks and tunes.

Conversely, probably 75% of the time I’ve heard someone talking about a double cut junior, they’ve called it “the Johnny Thunders guitar”. You don’t have to like the New York Dolls, or Heartbreakers, or anything Johnny Thunders did. But don’t try to tell me that the double cut junior is more of the Leslie West guitar than the Johnny Thunders one. 🤦‍♂️
