What listeners say

A curated, balanced selection of Apple Podcasts reviews.

Phil has the best guitar podcast out there. He has a wealth of experience as a guitar builder and guitar store owner, and now as a YouTuber/podcaster. He happily shares his knowledge and legitimately cares about his listeners. If you listen consistently, you’ll learn so much about gear and the guitar gear ecosystem.

Love Phil’s show. Been a YT subscriber for years, great to be able to download and listen on the go. I always learn something valuable in every episode.

I’ve listened to every episode of KYG and appreciate Phil passing along his knowledge, expertise and opinions. His YouTube channels are helpful as well and given me the confidence to fix and/or mod some guitars. Thanks KYG!

Mike in East Tennessee · Dec 2024

Know Your Gear is a great resource for those looking to learn about guitar maintenance and the guitar sales industry. Phil’s takes are unusually candid for a podcast, and he has the experience and know-how to back them up. If you catch his love show, he’s always open to questions, and nearly never runs ads or has sponsored content.
