I can throw a Thinline Telecaster on and then a big heavy Les Paul and hanging from the strap it's not a big difference in feeling. Not something I would notice bothering me even over an hour or more. There is a massive difference in weight between those guitars. Tele is a little over 7lbs and the Les Paul is around 11lbs. Might be because I'm a pretty big guy, 295lbs 6'4", so a few extra lbs on a guitar isn't really noticeable enough to even think about. It's not something I've ever given a thought about when shopping for guitars for sure. I've got enough trouble making a decision when shopping for a guitar, I'm glad weight isn't something extra for me to think about lol.
He repetatively says so many positive adjectives about each guitar, that it delivers the message , that he does not know what to say about each one and just randomly reads these words from "top 10 positive adjectives list" . So main takeway is : If you have too many guitars , you will have no time to play all of them and you will barely remember from where each one came from.
I think if Phil didn't have the channel he'd be selling off at least half of his collection. When you're recording, in a band and whatnot you tend to accept having more guitars haha !
Thanks for showing your incredible collection. One question, though. Wouldn't your American Standard Strat with the dent in the neck be a good candidate for a dent repair video? It's the technique where your place a wet towel on the dent then apply heat with a clothes iron tip or soldering gun to steam in moisture to make it swell and lift the dent out. Wouldn't this be possible because it's a basic satin finish on the neck and not painted?
Great collection of guitars !! I love your statement "I'd buy another guitar for wall art before I'd buy another painting !" I've said the same thing !! Great video , thanks !!
I use to have an all-white Danelectro, similar to the one in the video and it was stolen from my room while I was in the Army stationed in Germany. All I have left of that guitar is the memories and one picture. ...(Sigh) I miss it.
Man the best thing I ever did was pick 2 out of my fifteen and sold the rest. It literally makes me tired seeing that wall of guitars....dusting. strings changes.....God forbid you have to put them in cases and if you do.....I am certain you will forget one or 5. I like picking up a guitar to play without choosing. I go back and forth as I change strings. I have had the two for over 30 years.....true family. That's the reason I don't have one. Love the channel Phil.
Thanks for showing off these amazing axes! I really enjoyed what you said about playing the guitars, and not just letting them sit on the wall. I am guilty of not playing my guitars, as often as I should.
I had 10+ guitars and didn't play many of them so I had a clear out and sold a load of them. Problem is, I spent ALL of the money made on new guitars. Oops. Anyway, great to see this collection. Something to aspire to!
I hope to have that kind of collection someday I'm currently at five guitars i have a drum set slowly but surely trying to build a studio in my room All great studios weren't built in a day The best is yet to come
I WON the Contest (that I invented in my head... and no other contestants) and get my pick/s of the T5, the JS, the JEM, Framus, the Somiun, the Solar, the Gretch 130th, and the PF..., when do you ship them?... gimmie! Considering all of my dozens of upgraded guitars are Black (some have Red, Gold, Chrome contrasts), I guess I'd pick the JS or JEM. *lol* Seriously, I'd like to suggest you try something: With the T5 or the Gretch, put a fluid Audio "Strum-Buddy" suction cupped to the base of the center-line of guitar back (probably near output jack) fully locked onto the flat surface. The 5 w output is fixed and your volume is controlled by the Guitar pot, (get the Blackface not the chrome StrumBuddy). It's easier to use than the magnetic Tonewood Amp or the dangling Spark mini. just turn on reverb and delay, but opt out of the OD and ENJOY!
Killer collection Phillip! I have a fairly large collection of guitars myself we actually have very similar taste in instruments. I can tell just from what I see in your collection that you have been doing this a long time and are very thoughtful on witch guitars you keep in your collection. I've owned hundreds of guitars and really love the 80's shredder stuff but the one guitar I've always wanted but never got around to getting is the Alvarez Dana Scoop, seeing yours inspired me to finally try and track one down. Thanks for sharing and I really dig your channel!
I agree with your comment about the Taylor T5. I bought mine after a serious attack of GAS. It took years to grow on me, I came to terms with it when I realized it is not an acoustic guitar, it is a great electric with some acoustic properties. It is its own thing.
18:00 - Fender American Standard Strats in the 2015ish range are THE absolute BEST Strat for the $$ you can find! I had a 2014 Shawbucker model 10 years ago, sold it, went through many different Strats (some being much more expensive) and finally came back around to a 2015 Shawbucker. That one is THE keeper.
Maybe I need to get some of mine out of their cases. I tend to play what's out and handy and forget the more expensive ones hidden in cases. Good reminder--play them all. You Rock Groovy One!
I got a Hercules guitar stand that claims it can hold 10 guitars (I currently have 5 electric guitars and 2 basses on mine), it's great, I can see all my guitars, and it's so easy to grab one and play it.
Terrific video ... must be a daily joy to grab this one or that one to play. Thanks for doing this video; 30 mins. very well spent. Was sure we were going to see at least one Tom Anderson.
I pre-ordered a Gibson Les Paul Custom ‘68 reissue on Guitar Center. Arrival date says next week, so I’m giving them a week! It will likely be my heaviest guitar, but man do they sound ever so sweet. 😎
“Even” the Suhr? Do you not like em? I think they’re very well made knock offs but, what never understood was, for that price tag, why wouldn’t you just buy the real thing?
@@shaneb1313 nah, Ive never been in ones presence so have no perspective. It was a statement in jest as Phil was a little dismissive of its percieved greatness throughout the video when discussing similar guitars.
Purple Peavy and Framus can be upgraded with really great Deusenberg / Goldo / Guyker / GuitarFetish tremolo without any drilling or alignment issues which replaces the stoptail.
I only own 3 guitars. The last one I got is a Fender Lead 2. It weighs exactly 6 and 1/2 lbs. Now I'm obsessed with lightweight guitars! The lack of weight with all the body contours...maximum comfort! I'm interested in a Mira now...I didn't know they were that ridiculously light.
Beautiful collection Phil. I was scared that my wife would see this I realized we're neck and neck. Wife and I are moving (not far from Austin), but what made us laugh is when I starting packing gear, I was like "whoa", when will the guitar straps stop having babies! I have so many toys on my list, I don't know what's next. Gotta say that my three EBMMs have impeccable. Newest (yr ago) is my G&L ASAT CLASSIC Fullerton Dlx (adds belly carve). Ugh, love it! Light too!
Man, that’s guitar heaven right there. I have 2 guitars. A 2005 fender deluxe strat, and a Taylor gs mini. Thinking about selling the Taylor and picking up a Martin, but they are so darn expensive! The one I’m looking at is the Martin d10-e and that sets me back 1000 bucks if I would go for it. So far I just cant justify the purchase since I feel like as an intermediate player, I won’t get my money’s worth out of it. Especially not since I already own the strat.
Love the Gretch guitar! I bought my first Gretch a few months ago. I have been adding to my collection, especially the last 6 months. I will not have anywhere close to yours. Awesome!
Very nice collection, Phil. You seem to have imposed a weight limit of 8 lbs. Very sensible! If I'm not mistaken it was only the LP that crashed through that ceiling.
Philip, faithful fumble fingered follower here. So I have an idea... supercharge a Glarry 170 with the following, better pots, your favorite trem, locking tuners, a better nut, aftermarket splitable humbucker bridge, better single coil middle possibly a bridge or hot middle, and a P-90 neck pickup with better strings... I think this "Franken RG" might be a truly interesting tonal pallet with the options... especially 2 & 4. Test it on your software just to get a mad scientist giggle before building it. But this might be a crazy good way to change the paradigms of pickup mixes on "desert island": guitars. I am also looking into something like that with a Glarry GST and mulling humbucker/P-90 (or just P-90 Bare Knuckles). I also asked Daniel Braun this same thing and was wondering what you think about it.
Damn you have a lot of guitars! I wish I still had my main 3 from when I was younger... a mid 80's single humbucker red Charvel with maple neck, early 90's black HSS Jackson, and a late 80's BC Rich Warlock. The one I miss the most is that Charvel. Paid around 300 for it brand new back then, now used they go for around 800-1,000.
Very impressive collection Phillip! My favorites were the Suhr, the EVH, and the LP custom. I love your presentations, if it wasn't for you I never would have known about Harley Benton, I recently purchased a DC junior with a Roswell P90 in it. I never had a P90 before and I just love playing that guitar and that fire breathing pickup! Best off, it only cost me like $260.00 shipped to my house. Thanks again Phil and it always fun watching you play, you do kick ass, but you never disappoint with your selection of amps and pedals too!
You have a wonderful collection of beautiful guitars. If I had the opportunity to choose just one; it would be the ES 335. I've been in love with that model since I first laid eyes on one hanging in a pawn shop window in Gary, Indiana way back in 1961. Although I've owned and gigged with several other guitar types through the years; the 335 is still my main squeeze!
He was on such a roll here, id thought he would pick up just some random stuff other than guitar equipment. "This is my dog, he weighs 7.8 lbs......"
I honestly would love a dog review
Bahaahaha amazing.

all stock, except the collar
should've named it the Less Paul instead of the Les Paul Lite
There is a Les Paul less plus
But surely that extra 'S' would add significantly to the weight !!!
That’s what they called it in 2015.
Hahahahaha.

I'm always happy to see Parker guitars, I have a gold 1999 Fly Deluxe and absolutely love it. It's been my main guitar for 5 or 6 years now.
You have a remarkable collection of fine guitars and basses and different styles that can inspire you to play something different when you want to.

That Framus is mindblowing. Wow.
Framus guitars are some of the best on the planet!
Wow, you have more guitars than anyone on the planet. God Bless, you are Super inspiration, thanks
Thanks Phil for helping me "Know YOUR gear"... that was a blast ....
The first one, the Fender with rosewood neck, The Gibson Lite, The Parker!!! and the Magnificent 7 Tele were my favorites.
From a fellow "GAS" musician (or guitar geek) Cool video and a sweet collection!! Thanks for sharing.
Excellent tour. The only guitar missing is one more guitar. Rinse and repeat!
Cool collection. . I only have 10 guitars but I love them just as much.
That Warwick bass @ 24:31 is incredible. What a beautiful piece of art. And I don't even play bass lol
I haven't even watched the video yet, but I already know this video is going to be one of my favorites.
Awesome video Philip, great content. It’s really awesome to see all of your guitar collection in its glory!
I like his modes he does too... that seafoam green tele with the slanted switch is a nice touch.
I am very surprised that I didn’t see a schecter, but none the less, very nice collection phil.
We have been waiting to see the collection for a while. Thanks Phil !! Great Video .
I’m excited for this!
So cool to see whole collection happy sweetwater got you to do it peace phil
