England's version of Phil X -- Rob Chappers -- spent a few days recently at Fretted Americana doing some videos with Phil X, and he also posted some videos of his one, including one that shows what Fretted Americana looks like. It's not a store as much as its a suite of rooms containing millions of dollars worth of vintage guitars for sale.

The second video in the series is at Fretted Americana owner David Brass' house, which also guitars from his personal collection.

Note that when Rob Chappers finally gets the door open and steps inside, there's a Guild just inside the door. Note the headstock in the lower left corner.

Based on the headstock shape and what's available Guild-wise on the Fretted Americana website, I'd say that's the 1964 Slim Jim T-100C.
