"The Black Phoenix is the Big Kahuna. This guitar is just wow! It's got a longer scale and that is really helpful in the upper register when you are playing up high you just have more room up there. Its so clean sounding. It's got the full 17" body and the new pickups. But unlike a Falcon, the Phoenix does not have the tone controls. It's a little clearer, a little louder. It's just a beautiful guitar. We just changed a couple things and added all the modern updates. And the silver sparkle binding on the black ... I mean, yeah, it's just cool. It rocks my world." - Brian Setzer
