1. Someone asked your opinion on Micheal Kelly guitars. I wish you could review one , they are awesome guitars made in Korea and reasonably priced.
2. I have the Orange TH30 head and Orange PCB212 can and that guy is absolutely right! I use it for band rehearsal and even on 7 watt mode I cant turn it past 3 on the volume! Its CRAAAAZY how loud it is. I will neer jeed to put it in 30 watt mode. Its so loud it makes me wonder if theres something wrong with it and it wont actually go into 7 watt mode.
3. "Ill tell em...they wont care though" Hahahaha best answer ever. Thats why I love your channel Phil.
4. Good to see ya back Phil doing the Live stuff. Full hour.... happy days!!!!!
5. Maple is so much harder to manufacture - I feel like the price increases are a little bit cynical on Fender's part. The actual cost of materials is chump change vs. the time and labor to finish a maple neck.
6. I want to say how much i enjoy your videos and how well thought out they are and informative. Your reviews are always unbiased and you cover all the salient points, great job. Sorry to hear you closed your store in Arizona as i live in Colorado and had thought about a fun road trip to check out the place, let us know if you ever decide to go back into retail!
7. I'd be up for a group buy in on PRS... keep us posted Phil! Keep it up brother :D
8. Hi Phil, as a fellow bass player turned guitarist, do you think bass players make better rhythm gutarists? I do, all to do with listening to the band better I reckon :)
9. I love your videos and have gotten so much out of them. Aswell, I see your t shirts all over the place, I have yet to get one but when my finances are right I will for sure. My youngest son asked me recently if I knew you because he has seen me watching your videos on youtube, I laughed and told him that I didn't know you personally but watch your videos because I love playing guitar and I'm obsessed with finding the perfect tone, also knowing my gear, which you have helped tremendously. So thanks so much for your videos and keep up the great work!
10. That PRS idea is Great.I would be very interested to be part of that. Party On!!
11. i was a beta tester for the optiweb strings and I can honestly say they sound like regular nickel wound strings, but they last a lot longer. They don't sound like they are coated at all, which was my big gripe about the coated style long life strings.
12. Did you know this? David Gilmours Black Strat that comes out of the custom shop although it sounds great it is 50% incorrect !!!!!!!!!!!! The neck on his is made by Charvel with fender decals and where is the block of wood behind the bridge? Sometime in the early 70s he tried a different type of bridge (Floyd Rose)????? He had to cut part of his guitar out behind the bridge to install it. He didn't like it and put the factory setup back on leaving a hole behind the bridge and is filled with a block of wood. Just sayin............
13. The relay issue with the SS also happened with the first couple versions of the Mesa Roadster.
14. Dude, it's impressive how you crank through these questions without missing a beat. I listen to these streams (not live) as if they are a podcast while I am at work.
15. Love the list of times for the questions, and love the idea of group buy in for PRS SE. My favorite guitar I own is my Bernie Marsden PRS SE. Awesome guitars.
16. I have had the Yamaha THR10 since they came out. (the original crème one) The first firmware wasn't that good, but with V.2 it went from good to the best home/recording amp ever. My favourite setting is LEAD with everything dimed except for the bass which is set to 0. Try it with a little delay and Bob´s your uncle.
17. thanks for time stamping the questions. such a good idea!!!!!!
18. Good old Fender. So they are bumping a per fretboard guitar by 50 bucks, even though they have a ton of stock. We call it profiteering. BTW it is not that rosewood is in short supply, it is that it is very difficult to tell species apart as lumber. So CITES have put a damper on trade. Expect a restriction on ebony soon, as it is widely poached.
19. haha I got a True Grit Zinky also hahah
20. Is that red guitar an Ibanez or a Charvell?
