well he did drive the school bus in the Simpsons for a while ;)

instablaster...

davemis40 That’s considered a low number compared to a lot of other guitarists

For a seven song set :D

For bonjovi that is pretty restrained... i would have soooo many more :)

It would be so difficult to argue that

The only other person that inspires me like that is Eddie himself And maybe jimmy page

Did you call him a goat cause he's Greek? That's racist bro

That’s why he has 10 pedals on the pedalboard??

@@vintagepipesnightmares Haha

THEY. ARE. KILLER!

Nathan Liberty Ian Sheppard was Josh Klinghoffers. Duncan Swift does Pixies/Radiohead. Mike Hickey is Bonamassas. Rene Martinez (did SRV, I think - then later John Mayer). Doug Redler. (I’ve got his book - which is great).

i'm checking tomorrow

@@philx1111 thanks Phil...your the man

hahaha. that wasn't me.

see.... of course i know that but with the drills, i don't need a noise gate. my shit be quiet, yo. haha.

hmmmm.... i didn't know that was an option (40 something years in.... hahahaha). actually when i play with the drills i just use 1 pickup guitars & count on the high-cut tone knob to get the American Woman tone.

😂

first of all, the thickness of the tube is very important. it's taking the place of a speaker & then your mouth shapes the sound at the end. 2ndly, my tech just put it in a metal braided sleeve to make it look industrial & yeah, bulky. ... but we were going for that.

i think the ideal weight for a les paul is between 8 & 9 lbs. i think mine swim in that vicinity around 8.5. i gotta check out that bridge.

@@philx1111 If u check out that bridge n tremolo system I mentioned you would need to get a roller nut n roller string trees along with locking tuners . It works best with these items n string changing alot quicker n easier. No more string locks on the nut like a floyd rose has n no more cutting the ball off the string. Just insert the string through the back plate pull it up to the tuning peg n lock it in. Plus u could tune the guitar from the tuning pegs. Just thought I should inform u about it. Almost forgot u can get those items all from Fender .

he's got thousands of people in front of him every night. He probably doesn't give a damn about a number on KZfaq

Haha, he's with ESP again... =)

actually DS was in my old yamaha & still in there.

@@philx1111 Sorry, my mistake. Dude, you've got way too many guitars too keep up with. LOL. Keep Rockin' Buddy. Doin' great.

Framus is out - Gibson is in.

i think my tolerance built up when i was shooting 10 fretted americana guitars a day.

Damn I used to love watching your Fretted Americana vids. I think you’re the reason other git shops do it now.

hey man, i parted with framus at the end of 2019 & joined forces with gibson. first off, i've always loved gibson guitars but wasn't a fan of their quality control, or lack there of, until recently with the new top dogs taking over. i took a tour of both factories in nashville last summer & was blown away by the attention to detail & renovations that created better work spaces for a better product. between that & having an affordable (yes... affordable. no other company i've been with could accomplish this) Phil X Epiphone down the road, it's hard not to be excited about this new relationship. as far as Framus goes, i've been told the XG will still exist but their changing the name to not have an X which is totally understandable.

philx1111 Thanks for answering my question and for your honesty. I’ve noticed for the last several months you’ve been slinging Gibson’s but just never asked the question until now. I’m so happy Gibson is turning it around. I was not very happy with them and their lack of QC as have many other guitarists. They’re an American icon and needed to tighten up their product. The fact that you came on board tells me they are truly interested in rebuilding their brand and reconnecting with musicians again. Thanks man!
