Check out Alice Cooper's "18" around 4m15...

I was just clicking on it, then I saw the warning.... but I watched it anyway (well, most of it).  :|

It is a lovely guitar - my birth year too.



([sniff] "That's not cocaine!"  :roll:  :? :lol: )

Excellent... I'd love that guitar too!

[Twinfan]

It sounds awesome!

[PPPMAT]

Sounds great - not helping my GAS either

[FernandoDuarte]

Sounds amazing!!

EDIT:
I may be wrong, but this sounds more punch and with more mass than the Riff Raff clips I've heard... Am I right or it's just the amp that give this fuller tone? This is really how I wanted a SG sound, only the neck pickup I think it's a little bit muddy for my taste, would be looking for something more alike the bridge but sweetier...
What you guys think?

[Twinfan]

It's a lot to do with the amp Fernando.  My SG with Riff Raffs through a cranked Martamp sounds HUGE!

I still have my original 64 SG Standard plus a 61 reissue with Riff Raffs and would say it's mostly down to the amp he was using. Brought tears to my eyes when I compared the delapidated state of mine with this one  PDT_013. Only the original neck pickup still works (going to get round to sending both to Tim for rewind to oriinal spec - one was already rewound by John Birch in the 70s). I still have the original ABR1 bridge including the 3 worn out 'plastic' saddles they were using for the top three strings during this period. One thing I would like to replace is the chrome plating I had done on the pickup covers and tailpiece - well who would have thought back then that worn faded nickel would be cool  :?
One thing I always notice on most this period SG reissues is they get the top horn shape wrong - it finishes in a point, not the chisel shape of the bottom horn.

Part 2 of the vid now up and it's a belter:

I need an SG! It sounds sooooooo good.

[d1dsj]

Awesome guitar indeed. Phil X just plain rocks.... very cool  8)

[horsehead]

it even makes me want an SG

[Tellboy]

Guitar looks in great condition for a 64 (I would say that wouldn't I) - I do enjoy Phil X's dems  :D (Sorry PhillyQ!)

I'm giving up moaning about him, you lot all love him.  I know when I'm beat!




(But don't be surprised if he suddenly dies in a bizarre gardening accident.  I will have an alibi.)

[Afghan Dave]

I believe if Phil X ever gardens it would be by accident... & I'm very sure it would be bizarre!!

"Hey.... Check ooout this clematis, YEAH!!!"  :P :P

[Philly Q]

"I'm planting a tree.  PLANTING-A-TREE, BABY!!  PHIL X!!..... [mumbling] it's my orchard, man...[/mumbling]  Oh YEAH!!.... [sniff].... Phil X APP-LES!!!.... Two-thousand-and-TEN!!!.....WOOOO!!"



CLANG!!



Sound of earth being shovelled into a hole, them patted down.



SILENCE.
