I've never really considered my '66 Phantom to be anything more than a cool looking guitar, but at my gig the other night, I played it on a couple of songs and I ended up playing it all night long!
The clean sound was biting and chimey just like a Tele, and when I kicked in the distortion, this guitar just cut like a knife through the whole mix! It was the most incredibly aggressive piercing sound I've ever heard (in a good way)! I'm sure the fact that my AC30 was just retubed and tuned up had something to do with it, but this guitar has now just moved up to the top tier of my gigging arsenal.
