This guy bugged the hell out of me for a while, but the more I watch the more he seems like a pretty cool guy with a helluva lot of energy. He can play though and it's nice to see someone not be shy about playing such killer guitars.

He is over the top in a caffeinated Jack Russell sort of way ...and he screams WAY too much. :lol:

But it's great to see so many vintage Rics (and all manner of other makes) being put through their paces.

Pretty entertaining, even with the chatter.

Gives me a whole new impression of Fretted Americana. Their displays are pristine (bordering on anaseptic) and their prices usually out of sight. I didn't think they were into the Phil X type of thing. But it's great to hear those guitars played by someone who knows what he's doing. So they are doing something right!

I met him at the Santa Monica Guitar Show here in LA last August. Very cool guy, nice, fun, humble, great player. I'm more impressed with the video's since I met him.

I've seen many Phil Xenidis videos.

He's a trip and fun to watch / listen to.

He is both annoying and entertaining, and posting vids of your guitars is a great selling device. I wish more dealers did that. But those prices... they've had the same Ricks for at least three years. Some cool pieces, but when you're at least 20% higher than the other dealers you're not going to be moving much merchandise.

First-class, talented, "Happy" cat. I'd love to have him in a rock band backing me to my vocals. I'd have to acquiesce to his greater guitar playing, but I'd still write the songs. Remember, the songwriter makes the most $ of the 4, or 5, or 6 at most?

I enjoy his videos but sometimes he seems a little too rough with some of the more delicate vintage guitars.

First off, I really like the opportunity to see vintage Ric's and to be able to hear them is an added plus. Fretted America uses Phil X as a marketing tool to sell vintage instruments, I get that. Phil X gets your attention and for the most part keeps it through out the entire clip. He is a very entertaining guy. 8)
