1957 Fender Telecaster 01076 

I really like what Phil X brings to youtube. He inspires musicians everywhere to remember why they picked up a guitar in the first place--to have fun.

Tone from 1:05 just blew my mind.

yeah, It think that it's kinda strange that people have such a low opinion of this guy, when he's a highly accomplished and very serious session musician. Seriously, look up Phil X on wikipedia once.

I don't see why people think he's drunk or crazy or somethin, he plays well and he enjoys playin guitar. Just because he's got lots of energy doesn't mean he's on some drug, I like the way he plays and I think the high energy gives it character. Keep doin your thing Phil!

When I see a tele, it reminds me of rock and roll at its purest

The most infectious and convincing man of humankind!

That guitar is amazing! Tele's aren't just for country music peoples!

Thank you for introducing me to Pat Travers band!

I like how he actually plays them the way they were meant to. Not just put away due to their value

The Tele has always been in the top 3 of my best guitars ever list.

thats what we love about you - the lack of pretense! btw, a friend of a friend here. I was a bit late for the KW days but heard about you (and Rocky and Eggbert) from Al for years before youtube started happening. Hope this thing with FA keeps going for awhile!

57 Tele, Tone Master, Bad Monkey plus Phil X = Rock n roll makes me smile : )

I recently got a Tele very similar to this one. Of course it's not a 57 but it's a 93 so it's starting to get a little bit of a vintage tone going. I can tell you honestly that in nearly 20 years of playing Gibsons, nothing has ever inspired me as much as this guitar has. I love it! Of course I love my Les Paul too. But nothing speaks to me or for me, like my Telecaster. I have learned more in that past month with it than I have in the past 5 years before it. Honestly.

2:51 is the sexiest guitar tone I've ever heard.

His only drugs are a lot of guitars to test. You don't see very often somebody who enjoys playing guitar like this guy.

my favourite Phil X video ever ! just luv the out go the lights cover. Never fail to make me laugh, - If I had a fuzz box now I'D BLOW YOUR MIND !

You don't need a fuzz box to blow our minds Phil.

i would die for that guitar.

Phil X you put a smile on my face every time you do a demo!! Freaking A!! YEAAAAHHHHH!

Phil... you dont need a fuzzbox to blow our minds!!!

This guy is the spitting image of a guy from my senior class in high school. Seriously... though Kyle could never play like this...

I love rock'nroll but Phil X LIVES rock 'n roll

Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights) - Pat Travers :)

i dont always have a fuzzbox... but when i do i blow your mind.

This guy is awesome

Believe it or not, but Phil X is one of my influences now ! and yes i put him next to all the guitar legends ! keep the good work up man ! :)

Exactly, a lot of my friends have said I have this guy's energy, and I do have very high energy, I'm always running around, shouting, that kinda shit, I play guitar like this as well, I don't smoke/drink/drug, anything, some people are naturally high energy people, and he's one of them, and one of the best!!

Never heard a guitar biting like that before! That's a fantastic tele, no doubt, so sweet...

dude each time i see i know exactly why im a guitarist. youre a great philx hendrix

"If I had a Fuzz pedal i'd blow your minds hehehe-but i don't :(

i thought that once. keep watching and you'll learn to love him. he's not on drugs, he IS a drug.

I love this guy! I enjoy every single video of him!

Again, you are excellent! Rock on dude (btw, telecasters rule!)

Their best video by far!

Phil, you are a real juke box !

He Knows His stuff

Very cool...as usual! Pat Travers did a great cover of Boom Boom but Little Walter did the original.

I think i´m gonna buy one of those guitars by just having it touched by phil x :D

Phil is such a maniac!!!! Keep rockin man!

Damn, he has a voice.

I love you Phil X yeeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhh!!!!!!!!!!!

"If i had a fuzz box right now, I'D BLOW YOUR MIND, But i don't."

Prob the best Phil X intro ever xD

Sweet guitar, Sweet demonstration. 5 Stars!

Love that tele, i want it!!

Dear Fretted Americana & Phil X, this is my personal favorite video of them all. the Pat Travers bit always makes me wanna go play my tele . Keep 'em coming!

This guy is just cool!! You rocks Phil!!

Lucky SOB always getting his hands on those beauties :D

i love this guitar. 57 teles are in like top most liked guitars

BARK AT THE MOON!! WOOHOOO!!!

I'm in college. Every time I watch Phil X guitar reviews, my roommate thinks it's a comedy show.

sat here with the flu but watching Phil still makes me laugh

Why would anyone wanna switch the neck pick up? it's so amazing and bluesy I think I'am gonna cry in a corner until kids love the blues again.

Saw Pat Travers in 1979!!! Tommy Aldridge! Pat Thrall!!!

I want the full Hotel California solo on this tele by this dude !

I say this with no shame, but simple out of admiring Phil X... ... He's forgotten more about rock 'n' roll than I'll ever learn. He's just that good, and I can accept that. I'll always fight it... but I accept that.

You can tell he really likes this guitar

ive watched this so many times - always makes me laugh Cheers Phil : )

i very love this guitar

You kick ass, Phil

i always wanna play guitar after i watch a phil x video! great stuff!

Legend.

love the pat travers intro!!!

love this channel i check your videos daily phil u do rock!

LOLLLL first seconds of footage: "IM READAYYY!! OH YEAAAH..... what.?" XD

This guy can convince me to buy anything

The laugh in the end: briliant xD Merry Christmas every one xD

telecaster sounds really sharp, Awesome

OH YEAH F*@%ING CRAZY BUT THE MAN !!!! BOOM BOOM out go the lights.........Amazing

The middle position is actually just the neck pickup, they didn't have the bridge-neck combo until later on.

Phil x should so put a compilation album together with the songs he gets these epic riffs from:L

If i had a fuzzbox right now.. I WOULD BLOW YOUR MIND! But i don't. Ahaha! I love ur videos! Cool guitar! :)

He's fucking awesome.

His face @ 4:09, priceless :D

omg i wish i had this guitar it my dream guitar

Ok... I just watched this & it's been about a month since we shot it so I think I can be pretty objective and admit that I am fucking nuts.

....also his best hotel california solo tone....!!

Love the pat travers band song!!!!

"if i had a fuzz box right now I WOULD BLOW YO' MIND!!!!.. but i don't..." LOL favorite line

Pat Travers "Boom Boom (Out go the lights)"

i'm addicted on the part where he plays hotel california's solo 5:31

This guy is just cool!! You rocks Phil!! Greetings from Perù!!

Haha, the Bark at the Moon was awesome!

Suddenly......I want a tele :)

correction; "boom , boom, out go the lights" was by blues musician "little walter", NOT pat travers...he, like many others, did a remake of this song.

u rock phil x

Ghosts! Phil X you F*bark*ing rock man, keep playing man, you can only get better!

what a guitar!

i wonder if Mr. Phil X knows every rock song in the world, because it certainly seems so, after watching a dozen of them videos.

This guitar just reminds me of crossroads. :) great playin man!!

I would seriously like to point out that I'd pay a fuckload for a Phil X cover of Boom Boom (Out Go The Lights), in that style right there. Specifically with that guitar, and possibly that whole gear setup, because I think that adds to the overall Phil X badass vibe. SWEET guitar, btw. I'd do just about anything for a 57 Tele.

Why didn´t I began playing the guitar earlyer? I really envy PhilX.

I like it!

Phil X for president!

5:33 - Hotel California by The Eagles 3:25 - Something by Aerosmith - i think its sweet emotion

4:30 lol , Love this man :D
