Hi Phil. I hope you get to read this because it may help you with your Evertune dilemma. Here’s my story. I picked up a super strat style guitar from my local Kijiji here in New Brunswick, Canada. It’s a VGS RoadCruiser w/Evertune. Don’t quote me on this but I believe VGS was the first brand to collaborate with Evertune. All I have to say is that the bridge absolutely MAKES this guitar! I don’t think the previous owner quite “got it” or totally understood how it works. I completely disassemble/reassembled the Evertune bridge, restrung the guitar (with the same gauge strings), tuned it back up... and all of the six saddles remembered the last tuning. All I had to do was adjust the intonation on two or three strings. And just like that...it was back to its original standard E tuning.
I'm up to 45 guitars in my collection, and yes, I am absolutely maxed for space. Just sold one yesterday as the "culling" begins to make room for the next batch. To the point, though, I did acquire 8 only since January 2020. The Covid factor is real!
Nice work on the 200... I have and have kept it at between 20 to 25 guitars but would like to get the number down to maybe 12 or 15. The amp count could be less as well. Then we got pedals and that has tapered off in the last few months but those numbers could come down too... I feel like a hoarder sometimes but it is what it is. So if I had the room I’d more than likely have a lot more of everything... tools would be the next thing I seem to have an abundance of. Thank you Phil... 🎸🤓🎸🇺🇸☮️
Rewatched - Currently about 20 guitars, a couple basses, a few drum sets, 5-6 amps, odd instruments that make cool noises...some homemade. I'm considering selling a couch or some furniture to open up some space 🤔
I’ve been thinning my collection. I’m getting ok money, I just end up taking and offer after two weeks. It’s hard to decide what to keep and what to get rid of. I’ve sold Les Pauls, DC Special, 70’s tribute LP, 594 core, SG’s. The ones that sell are the ones I wish I’d kept. Part-casters are for life.
A little personal thought on Godin. They're a Quebec company, they make a cheaper acoustic line called seagull, i believe. They had a premium line back in the 80s called Simon and Patrick. I bought one for $500 in 87. That guitar lived with me in tents (I worked in the bush planting trees) in every kind of weather, it would be below freezing at night, and 100F in the afternoon (the sides of mountains heat up a lot). It got wet, it spent nights outside. It also endured a cocaine-addled muaical partner id play music with in the winter. It was, and still is, the best acoustic I've ever played. It's horribly discolored from the abuse, yet the action is beautiful, the tone is amazing, and it stays in tune. So, someone asked about the longevity of Godin? If 80s history is relevant, you cannot go wrong.
I own 30 lefty guitars, basses, and mandolins. But in my defence I haven’t bought any guitars since 2008. Last year however I started increasing my BOSS pedal collection instead.
Have 6 guitars. Bought a used 2012 mim strat case included on Reverb last year. Strat $380 + Gator ABS HSC $60 + $85 shipping = $525. Estate sale find. Flawless build quality with plastic film and hanging tags intact. Couldn't find a single scratch looked like it had never been played. Only way to get the color I wanted.
Ok, let's say I buy a guitar for $500. I play it for 6 months, and I sell it and take a beating on it for $300, because there's something else I want. What other entertainment can I get for 6 months for $200 ($33.33 per month), doing something I absolutely LOVE? It's STILL a bargain!...oh by the way, I've got 19 guitars, and I'm building another one. In January, we moved to a house with 1 more bedroom, so I could have a guitar room. I'm LOVING IT!
I've bought 7 guitars since June last year. That brings me up to 11 so I'm behind by 1.5. A fact that will be used to convince my wife I 'need' another one at least. Thank's Phil. 😁🎸
@@AntonioOliveira-em4cd Yeah, it's unfortunate since I can't in good conscious resell this to someone, and I don't want to put more money into it by replacing the neck. It got me through my beginner stages, but I can't advance with it.
@@caseylee12 That's sort of the issue, the guitar and neck are almost of equal value (tagima was $160 on black friday). I'd rather just invest that money into something I like. After learning guitar I also learned what I wanted in a guitar. This strat was my gateway drug that made me fall in love. But I personally hate the look of 80% of the wood/paint covered by a pickguard. I also fell in love with the comfort of a Jazzmaster body. On top of that I wanted deeper contour cuts in my body, something I could only achieve by building my own or a custom shop, which is out of the question. My total cost for my partscaster was sub $500 including nitro paint, and any other supplies to build. It's pearl pink jazzcaster body, tele flame maple neck, and a mix of nickel/gold hardware. All of the important parts are wilkinson/vintage forge. The body finish is sub par cause I did a brush on lacquer and it's my first time, but she plays fine.
2 acoustics & 2 electrics An Orangewood Oliver M, ESP-LTD, Epiphone Junior all on Phil’s reviews - recommendations. Plus an Ovation Celebrity Shallow Bowl Accoustic Electric.
13:48 I've had an Evertune equipped guitar for a few months now. The main thing I've learned from it is how often I re-tune my other guitars. It's not something you really notice until you never actually have to do it. Even the most stable guitar you have won't stand a chance against an Evertune guitar. Changing strings and tunings isn't super fun, but it's not any harder than doing so on a Floyd Rose bridge. The feel of the tension against the springs can be jarring, but it physically doesn't affect the way the guitar plays. Also, I'm an owner of 13 guitars.
Except for an older Gibson LP, I've mostly bought basket case (but cool) guitars to hone my luthier skills. But now I have 12 minus a 335 & 54' Epiphone that are undergoing restoration.
I just paid $1300 to take my last college class. It was the worst but after 8 years of needing just one class and COVID killing my job it was time. I WISH I could have spent that money and time on a class like Crimson Guitars. 3 interviews in the last week and 2 likely offers so....
I dont know how many Guitars I have exactly, They are hanging on the walls,under my bed,In my closet,a boat full in the jam room,their in my spare room. I think i have about twenty somethin, some for trade and some for tools and some to flip. It`s what We do !! LOL
My Wife does not know how many,she would probably say to many,But She has never said a word.she knows how much I love them.Best wife ever, Love this channel.Guitar Freaks like us love to nerd out.I can say You have never steered me wrong. My Rig sounds better than ever, with cheap gear and pricey gear,I always learn what works.Thank you.
Love what you do Phil! I really appreciate your humble attitude and I know I can always trust your opinions on gear. 15 guitars in my collection. Got my first one 32 years ago for my 15th birthday. Never sold one... 🤘🏼🎸
--- @19:48 The Average KYG Viewers Owns 12.5 Guitars? I added up your comments --- Today... I have 16 guitars, but I'm also a designer. So if I see a guitar I like I might just buy it, paint it & mod it. Most often these guitars unfortunately ends up NOT beeing used :/
I only own 4 guitars. 81 Gibson Les Paul Custom, 82 Gibson Les Paul Custom, 99 Gibson SG standard and a 00 ESP Src-6. Buying another guitar hasn’t crossed my mind in years.
I bought a brand new "LTD EC-1000FM Evertune" a couple of months ago. After two days, I gave the guitar back because the sustain above the 12th fret was really bad. As far as I know by now, the lack of sustain is because of the Evertune system. Check out a guitar with an equipped Evertune but please don't do it to your Les Paul. =)
i have 2 guitars, one inexpensive and another was inherited from a family member. Once i save up some from my new job i plan on getting another one or two.
I’m at 1 bass, 3 guitars, 1 acoustic I’ve also got a few knackered and broken guitars I’m tempted to sell the acoustic and the other two electrics tho. Use that money to get a nice acoustic maybe
--- @07:24 It seems like PRS and Gibson are low on inventory. --- One of my friends work at a supplyer in Norway, And his Fender-dealer-account says "Out of Stock" for about 90-95% of the models so.... I think i will take time to Re-stock, I have seen some of the guitars arriving there these days & it looks like all brands are rushing the builds and QC :(
New MIM Player Strats are $749 now so $500 is a pretty good deal on a used Player and even old MIM Standards are closing in on that price. I think the days of the $250 use MIM Strat are gone now.
I currently have 17. That includes 2 bass guitars and one 4 string cigar box guitar. One bass is at my luthier friend’s house. I left it with him as a favor because it has a warped neck. He wants to use it as a teaching point to show people what to look for when they are buying a used guitar.
Hi Phil! Congrats on your success 🙌. I'm sure a decade ago you couldn't have imagined this. I didn't even get a smartphone until 9 years ago, and that's what I use for everything online now. Wanted to ask your opinion on a few things. If you could only have one bass amp and guitar amp each, what would it be? No rules, just your preference for each. Next, I just bought a Sire U5, and It's nice! I really am drawn to that new Ibanez EHB1000S pink metallic bass though...worth it? Or spend it on new recording mic, headphones/monitors, accessories, or guitar tools (I've been a part time luthier since 2008). Just wanted your angle. Also...the Mira is awesome! I bought 2 of the new SE. Pickgaurd opens up alot of mod possibilities! I'm looking for a 24 fret Mira used but I wanna feel the neck qnd play it first. Just some small talk...I've played and bought 2 of the new Breedlove Companion Organic Collection acoustics...really really nice all solid for little $$. Also, while mentioning acoustic guitars, my Babicz Identity from way back is still the very best acoustic guitar I've ever played. Sound/playability/design. And Jeff Babicz and Jeff Corano are great guys! take care
I was up to 14 guitars so I started selling/ trading and got down to 7 extraordinary guitars, I feel all my guitar needs are covered but would like to round out collection with maybe a Ric and Dusenberg
Have a 74 guild so intro the finish is very cloudy and worn off by my arm no checking/cracking I've always kept it cased except when playing. It was stolen once and get pretty damaged but still no "weathering"
How do you own .5 of a guitar? Is that when a guitar is in pieces? If so, then my Fender Showmaster qualifies. I stripped out all the hardware, and then lost all motivation on that project. Years later, it is still in pieces, sitting in its case....
Congratulations on your 200th !!! Dude I love you channel and it’s inspiring to hear your knowledge of the industry and just awesome to watch all your videos!!
Phil - can you confirm if the nitro Gibson currently uses has a chemical to block more UV compared to the original formula so modern guitars won't fade like the they used to? Also do they have some plasticiser added to help reduce checking? I think Custom Shop models might use a more 'old school' formula and get a thinner coating.
Dang you guys have a ton of guitars. I’ve been looking at getting a one since June and still haven’t pulled the trigger. Currently there are 2 sitting around but I last bought one in 2017 lol
i have 4, all of them clones. 1 Strat, 1 Tele, 1 Hondo Les Paul and 1 Epi Les Paul. To be fair, I'm a 60 year old newby and I'm not wasting time waiting. Last on the list is a BB King style hollow body. I got my first mid-December. Congrats on 200live shows. Loads of interesting and sound advice. Love it.
Do it Phil!!! Put the evertune in the gold top LP!!! 🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻 .. 8 guitars in my collection 😉🤙🏻 ... and massive congrats on the 200th episode!! I love watching these every week. Here’s to another 200!! 🍻🍻🍻 Cheers from the land of Aus
I have 40 guitars, 3 basses and 4 ukuleles, and 1 electric ukulele. Purchase prices (only the electric uke is new @ 115$) started out at under 150$, later crept up to 250$, finally now they're averaging 350$. I used to have upwards of 75, but I had a break in and about 30 was stolen. Most of my _current_ faves are the more expensive ones with a few exceptions (the exceptions are a 35$ 2000 Fender Starcaster S1 and a 120$ 2005 Austin AU-731 Strat). The reason why I have 15 Strat types, 6 Les Pauls, 2 V Types (one a Rhoads and the other a Flying V), 5 Offsets of various types, 1 Genesis type, 2 oddballs (one a 1984 Yamaha SC-300T Beach Banana and the other 2005 Yamaha EGV-103C Flying Samurai reissue), 3 star types (2008 ESP LTD AX-50, 1986 Electra X2RD Futura and a hybrid 85-87 Kramer Voyager HHH with a 1988 Epiphone S-Series neck), a 335-Type semi-hollow body, a hybrid full size p-bass with a Fender neck and a Crate body, a short-scale pj-bass, a 6-string full-sized bass, 2 parlor acoustics (one is a classical type), 3 full size/folk acoustic (one being a dreadnought), 4 acoustic ukuleles (a soprano, 2 concerts and a tenor), an electric tenor ukulele and will be acquiring a Telecaster soon, is that each instruments mostly offers an unique sound to my tonal pallette. A few actually serves as street burgers...oh damn got sidetracked by ye talking about burgers. Anyway a few serves as my street beaters, where my more expensive (or at least more irreplaceable) guitars stays safely at home. EDIT: NO to 550$US on a MIM Strat, that's way to high...even by Hawai'i standards. Here the average high WAS 400-450. For the last year prices surged initially to 600s, but those ads stayed up for very long time. I've asked around and found out that those that sold often got haggled down to the 400-450s range. EDIT2: Cool Ibanez RG565, I have a 1989 Ibanez RG565R-CA, which is the Ibanez preproduction spot model that was made before they started regular production RG565 the next year. I actually prefer my 565R over the regular production 565(no "R") because it has sharktooth inlays and mahogany fretboard and jumbo frets.
I have 6 guitars. Only 1 is store bought. I’ve built the others from parts or kits. Phil has upped my game in putting together quality guitars.
Dude, I got 7 guitars but my son has 5 bowling balls and if he had his own income he would have at least 10. Everyone has something.
Damn...!!! You almost wrote an awesome algebra problem!!
Congratz Phil on 200 episodes! You've made the gear community better.
Also coming up on 300k subscribers!
Hiya Cheddar !!! 👋😎 Good to see you !!!
2 guitars pre-covid, same 2 guitars post-covid... talk about consistency :p
I currently have 8 guitars...my #1 is my PRS McCarty 594...love it!!...its harder to store the cases!!!!
100% it’s harder to store the cases!
Congrats on 200!! 15 guitars in my collection.
(I hope my wife doesn’t see this)

congrats on 200! saw the title and now I don't feel so bad for owing 9...in fact, I feel pretty good knowing I have room to add 3 more! lol
52 guitars at the moment, had to cut back during pandemic. Keep up the great content, that Sabo interview was excellent!
I lost 7 guitars in a fire, and now im back up to 11! Most are rescues, all are loaded with true mojo!

Man Evertune needs to stop playing around and install one on Phil’s les Paul, I’m seriously curious
200👍 thanks heaps for Dave Sabo interview! Bloody fantastic.
That really was a very good interview, Mr. Sabo came across as being a thoughtful and insightful fellow.
Agreed,I've always been a fan since the first Skidrow album,when I was a teenager,him and Scotty hill were a killer duo.

Just 22 guitars lol Love the show Phill, thank you for sharing your knowledge and experience.
200th Episode! For television shows there are always a huge celebration! Congratulation Phil!
Thanks for all the content! Still have my TTK and KYG shirt!

I currently have 11 and #12 is being delivered next week! Wooohooo!
I just paid $1300 to take my last college class. It was the worst but after 8 years of needing just one class and COVID killing my job it was time. I WISH I could have spent that money and time on a class like Crimson Guitars. 3 interviews in the last week and 2 likely offers so....
Keep pushing through, when you get that sweet new job you’ll be able to afford a new axe!
Proud to have my amp count exceed the average guitar count. I definitely don't have a problem 😂
I dont know how many Guitars I have exactly, They are hanging on the walls,under my bed,In my closet,a boat full in the jam room,their in my spare room. I think i have about twenty somethin, some for trade and some for tools and some to flip. It`s what We do !! LOL

Is this official?? If so I’ll be showing this to other half as I only have 5 so need to express my GAS.... a lot🤔
i own 4 electrics, 1 acoustic and a bass... to be fair i’ve only been playing a little over a year

10 right here !! Below average, shame shame shame. Now i need 2.5 guitars...
I’m at
1 bass, 3 guitars, 1 acoustic
I’ve also got a few knackered and broken guitars
I’m tempted to sell the acoustic and the other two electrics tho. Use that money to get a nice acoustic maybe

Had 55 went down to 27 back up to 39
12.5? Really? I guess I'm bringing the average down. I have 2 acoustics and 4 guitars, for a total of 6. Sorry guys, I'll try catching up.
New MIM Player Strats are $749 now so $500 is a pretty good deal on a used Player and even old MIM Standards are closing in on that price. I think the days of the $250 use MIM Strat are gone now.
Only 1 electric guitar since 1997. A 1981 Les Paul Custom. It's worn and has had a refret.
Ya I find myself re re watching all your videos!! Just soo much great info and content in all your clips 👍 👌 😀 🙌
I currently have 17. That includes 2 bass guitars and one 4 string cigar box guitar. One bass is at my luthier friend’s house. I left it with him as a favor because it has a warped neck. He wants to use it as a teaching point to show people what to look for when they are buying a used guitar.
I only have 6 guitars and one bass, so I only have a mild case of GAS.
Phil - Congrats on 200 Episodes and thanks for being there for us! Also - congrats in advance for 300k. That's Huuuuge.
2 guitars here, Fender American strat and Larrivee acoustic. I guess I have to buy 10.5 more!
Put an Evertune in a Strat and play Sweet Home Alabama or Sultans of Swing. If it doesn't screw that tone up it will be good anywhere.
I use micro mesh to deal with skunk stripe rise.
If Evertune makes your guitar heavy... put it on a Gibson SG, and you fix the neck dive at the same time!
If the evertune bridge adds weight, wouldn't it be a good match for a neck heavy SG?
Hi Phil! Congrats on your success 🙌. I'm sure a decade ago you couldn't have imagined this. I didn't even get a smartphone until 9 years ago, and that's what I use for everything online now.

There are some things it's wise not to count. These include how many times you take a sweet treat off the plate, and how many guitars you own.
Agreed, I'm in the over 12.5 guitars group.
I have 100 guitars, mid-range to high end. I love them all.
mesa's gain is magic.
I was up to 14 guitars so I started selling/ trading and got down to 7 extraordinary guitars, I feel all my guitar needs are covered but would like to round out collection with maybe a Ric and Dusenberg
CONGRATS ON 200 !!!!!!!
I own 26 guitars and still growing i will continue to purchase guitars until i drop
Have a 74 guild so intro the finish is very cloudy and worn off by my arm no checking/cracking I've always kept it cased except when playing. It was stolen once and get pretty damaged but still no "weathering"
Congrats Phil! Love all your videos and shows. I was "thumbs up" number 777. Lucky me.
550 Canadian is 430 in US dollars. Yeah our guitars in Canada cost way too much
How do you own .5 of a guitar? Is that when a guitar is in pieces?
If so, then my Fender Showmaster qualifies. I stripped out all the hardware, and then lost all motivation on that project. Years later, it is still in pieces, sitting in its case....
Phil, At first I thought no way, I mean 12 guitars, and then I remembered I have 14.
I am a beginner and already have two, Epi 335 and a Richmond Dorchester. I vote YES on the EverPaul!
That's too funny I've got 13 guitars....5 1980's Charvels, 1 Jackson, 1 Squier Stage Master, 1 Fender Strat, 1 Les Paul, 1 Fender P Bass, 3 custom builds with Korina Bodies.
I need to buy 2.5 more guitars??? Yessssss!!!!!
Hey, I just did a little count. Turns out I'm above average!
OMG, can I use that? I need to tell my wife I'm above average at Something!!!
@@caseylee12 Just make sure to tell your wife that if you should die before her, not to sell your guitars for what you told her they were worth ...
12.

Congratulations on your 200th !!! Dude I love you channel and it’s inspiring to hear your knowledge of the industry and just awesome to watch all your videos!!
I own at least 21 guitars, but I don't honestly know.
the curse of a growing guitar inventory are the cases & bags which take up so much room
@@rob_in_stowmarket_uk we have very first world problems ;)
Congratulations on 200 episodes. I watch this every Saturday morning. I have 25 $500-$1500 fiddles.
I have a guitar with an ever tune bridge. It’s great!
Congratulations on number 200!!!
I would love to know a rough estimate of how many guitars your audience has in total!
Phil - can you confirm if the nitro Gibson currently uses has a chemical to block more UV compared to the original formula so modern guitars won't fade like the they used to? Also do they have some plasticiser added to help reduce checking? I think Custom Shop models might use a more 'old school' formula and get a thinner coating.
8 acoustic 14 electrics but very happy
Epiphone has increased the quality of their guitars so much recently, that you probably wont see many in the shop anymore.
Did Phil just say, "frustrated" with an r? Hell just froze over. Submitted for your approval in The Twilight Zone.
Dang you guys have a ton of guitars. I’ve been looking at getting a one since June and still haven’t pulled the trigger. Currently there are 2 sitting around but I last bought one in 2017 lol
Do the Evertune ! They are amazing !
I would love the Evertune in Les Paul Episode !!!
Only 7 guitars! Gobs of pedals, 6 basses and 3 ukuleles also though.
i have 4, all of them clones. 1 Strat, 1 Tele, 1 Hondo Les Paul and 1 Epi Les Paul. To be fair, I'm a 60 year old newby and I'm not wasting time waiting. Last on the list is a BB King style hollow body. I got my first mid-December. Congrats on 200live shows. Loads of interesting and sound advice. Love it.
I'm in the minority. Maybe 5 guitars, but I make up for it with 4 violins, 1 viola, three banjos, two mandolins, and two basses.
Is that a deimel in the background with the dual p90s and blue maple Top?
Holy crap, I am the average... I have 12 1/2 guitars as one is in parts 😂
Do it Phil!!! Put the evertune in the gold top LP!!! 🤘🏻🇦🇺🤘🏻
.. 8 guitars in my collection 😉🤙🏻
... and massive congrats on the 200th episode!! I love watching these every week. Here’s to another 200!! 🍻🍻🍻
Cheers from the land of Aus
I have 40 guitars, 3 basses and 4 ukuleles, and 1 electric ukulele. Purchase prices (only the electric uke is new @ 115$) started out at under 150$, later crept up to 250$, finally now they're averaging 350$. I used to have upwards of 75, but I had a break in and about 30 was stolen. Most of my _current_ faves are the more expensive ones with a few exceptions (the exceptions are a 35$ 2000 Fender Starcaster S1 and a 120$ 2005 Austin AU-731 Strat).
The reason why I have 15 Strat types, 6 Les Pauls, 2 V Types (one a Rhoads and the other a Flying V), 5 Offsets of various types, 1 Genesis type, 2 oddballs (one a 1984 Yamaha SC-300T Beach Banana and the other 2005 Yamaha EGV-103C Flying Samurai reissue), 3 star types (2008 ESP LTD AX-50, 1986 Electra X2RD Futura and a hybrid 85-87 Kramer Voyager HHH with a 1988 Epiphone S-Series neck), a 335-Type semi-hollow body, a hybrid full size p-bass with a Fender neck and a Crate body, a short-scale pj-bass, a 6-string full-sized bass, 2 parlor acoustics (one is a classical type), 3 full size/folk acoustic (one being a dreadnought), 4 acoustic ukuleles (a soprano, 2 concerts and a tenor), an electric tenor ukulele and will be acquiring a Telecaster soon, is that each instruments mostly offers an unique sound to my tonal pallette. A few actually serves as street burgers...oh damn got sidetracked by ye talking about burgers. Anyway a few serves as my street beaters, where my more expensive (or at least more irreplaceable) guitars stays safely at home.
EDIT: NO to 550$US on a MIM Strat, that's way to high...even by Hawai'i standards. Here the average high WAS 400-450. For the last year prices surged initially to 600s, but those ads stayed up for very long time. I've asked around and found out that those that sold often got haggled down to the 400-450s range.
EDIT2: Cool Ibanez RG565, I have a 1989 Ibanez RG565R-CA, which is the Ibanez preproduction spot model that was made before they started regular production RG565 the next year. I actually prefer my 565R over the regular production 565(no "R") because it has sharktooth inlays and mahogany fretboard and jumbo frets.
