  • www.frettedamer... This "Hendrix" Stratocaster has a three-tone sunburst solid alder body and weighs 7.60 lbs. One-piece maple neck with a nut width of just over 1 5/8 inches and a very comfortable medium neck profile. Veneer rosewood fretboard with 21 original frets and pearloid dot position markers. Large headstock with decal with Fender logo in black with gold trim. The end of the neck is stamped "22 MAY 69B." Three single-coil pickups with staggered polepieces and balanced outputs of 5.41k, 5.43k, and 5.51k, respectively. Four-layer plastic pickguard with eleven screws. There are a few minor dings and surface marks and some minimal wear to the back of the neck. The original frets have been dressed and do show some signs of playing wear. This "Hendrix" Strat is in excellent plus (9.00) condition and is an exceptional player. Housed in its original Fender black hardshell case with orange plush lining (8.50).

    "PHIL X GOES CRAZY!"
    You mean like every video he's ever done?

  • @ChaosBurnsWithin
    @ChaosBurnsWithin Před 12 lety +67

    Phil X doesnt have an ego at all... he's one of the most humble people ever. if you watch more videos he's even like "GAH why can i not play today? im sorry, i suck right now. okay." and is just very friendly. he isnt all hyperactive cuz hes being an egomaniac... that has nothign to do with it. he's just having fun. he has no attitude, he's just a chill guy who likes to play his damn guitars

    @Huntington12345678 Před 12 lety +26

    Phil's reaction at 2:01 to the sound of this guitar is priceless.
    That is the look of true love and passion for guitars and music.

  • @lkj0822g
    @lkj0822g Před 14 lety +27

    Note to self: Whenever Phil strikes a chord and his eyes roll back and he says "Oh my God, that's awesome!", get ready for a treat. "Hey Joe" is one of my favorite Hendrix songs and to say Phil did an awesome job on it is an understatement.
    I never heard of Phil until I came across these demos and now I am a fan. Thanks to FrettedAmericana for sponsoring these videos. I know you do it for advertising but it is such a treat for those of us who love old guitars and great playing.

    It's so refreshing to see someone tearing into a vintage guitar. The way it's supposed to be played.

    I loved the end "I'm canadian", that's priceless ! Phil, you're amazing !

  • @PantheonLincoln
    @PantheonLincoln Před 14 lety +16

    Phil's reaction when he first plays something on the neck pickups is hilarious, like he came in his pants upon hearing such great tone.
    This actually made me dig out my copy of "Are You Experienced?", hearing Phil play Hendrix on that thing.

  • @georgeparkins777
    @georgeparkins777 Před 9 lety +68

    Man, he reminds me of the guy who tried to teach me in the old days. He also played a "Hey Joe" with most of the wrong chords and still made it sound awesome. I mean, he knew everything by ear, so he was almost always wrong, but he could make anything sound right.

  • @localcrew

    phil x you rock man, this is by far one of my favorite sounding guitar styles, being able to rip and let loose while still keeping it tight and together feels soo natural and positive. so many guitarists playing strictly by the books these days. just recently found these videos, now i watch before i have to work puts me in a good mood. cheers

    'when i feel sad , i become awesome instead . true story" (one of my mantras ,don't know who said that in the first place)

  • @Mosarioos
    @Mosarioos Před 13 lety

    From all of the guitarists that I admire Phil X is the most important for my guitar playing ;) It's huge achievement, because this group consist of masters like Jimi, Frusciante, Clapton, BB King, etc. All of them are great, but Phil gave me something what is the most important.PASSION. Half a year ago I've looked at this video and I understood that it's not about playing so fast and precisely. It's about fun. And when you enjoy playing guitar, technique will come in due course. Thank you :D

  • @OldJong
    @OldJong Před 13 lety +3

    It is so funny! I used to work in a music store with Aldo Nova when I was much younger, about 34 years ago and I learned that Phil played with Aldo some times ago! The world is small indeed!
    I have lots of fun with these videos BTW! and I don't mind if he rocks on Jazz guitars. Music is supposed to be fun. ;-)

    Man I love this guy!!! I wish there were more guys like him making demo videos as cool as that, but I guess then there would be more guitar store owners getting heart attacks. I mean seriously, I don't know many people that would go as crazy as he did between 5:07 and 6:26 on a guitar that costs as much as an APPARTMENT!!!

Not sure if you remember me, I was one of the tennis coaches there and had a 1983 Kramer Pacer Special I wanted you to try out but we never got around to it. Anyways, enjoy watching your videos man, keep rocking!

    the 60's tonemaster we talk about is made by magnatone and is the original tonemaster.
    the fender tonemaster is a completely different amp with the same name and is a high powered head as opposed to a 15 watt combo which is what we have.

  • @EccentricRichard
    @EccentricRichard Před 14 lety +5

    Phil, you're really on "Fire" here! You clearly love the guitar - I'm afraid I struggle to match your enthusiasm. I mean, a Strat's OK as a general purpose guitar, and it's great when you pile on the reverb, U2-style, but for the most part, gimme a Gibson any day. Speaking of which, I see you've still got that Lucille - any chance of more from her? I'd love to hear the entirety of Communication Breakdown (as you played a fragment of the main riff on the Lucille), followed by Bring It On Home!
