This exceptionally fine fifty-four year old guitar weighs just 9.40 lbs. Solid mahogany body with a carved maple top. One-piece mahogany neck with a nice thick profile, Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 original frets and pearl crown position markers. Two really hot P-90 pickups with strong outputs of 7.68k and 7.96k. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic bridge and separate stud tailpiece. There is very little wear to the original frets. Overall, this guitar is one of the best examples that we have ever seen. There is no fading to the back or neck and no greening to the gold top. Housed in the original Gibson "Bulb Headstock" five-latch Lifton brown hardshell case with pink plush lining (9.00). "The first Gibson Les Paul solidbody electric guitar, known simply as the Les Paul Model then but now better known by its descriptive nickname 'gold-top', first went on sale during 1952" (Tony Bacon, 50 Years of the Gibson Les Paul, p. 15).
If I could stand there and play and sing in my bedroom like that I would never leave the house. Phil is awesome. Makes me smile every time
Man, I usually can't stand guys like Phil. But I find it impossible to dislike him.
Phil is the cover master..... How he remembers them all is beyond awesome.
i love phil x he is an awesome soul man... when i first started watching his vids, i thought he was on coke or something but he is just naturally like this, which is dope...
I just like the fact he is not afraid to play the guitars
You cant helped but get amped when you see this guy. He loves what he does and is very good what he does.
lol i remember seeing phil x reviews every day back then in the 2010s coolest axes reviewer ever
I can't believe this is like 10 years ago
I keep coming back to watch these videos to pump up my positivism
This guitar is the best instrument I have ever heard. Major sustain, perfect tone, perfect gold color. ''Yeah its pretty crazy', yeah its pretty insane...'' Phil X is blown away
That moment when Phil realizes he says the Hetfield "Yeeeaah" when playing Enter Sandman...priceless
phil is a great guy... i met him once a long time ago when i was basically a kid who loved guitars... he was the first great guitar player i ever saw play live... he gave me the time of day, and introduced me to the band, and he remembered my name... he really impressed me as a genuine, enthusiastic guy... always wondered what he was up to... still rockin
What a great music journey! I love and play my electric guitar as well! My biggest influence is Rik Emmett... Phil is great as well! He replaced Rik in TRIUMPH for a while. I love many guitar players, so nice to meet you! I play Fender Stratocaster Cherry Red. Love and peace from Russia!
I've actually got a Gibson LP with P90s & I'd give my left testicle to play like Phil. I could watch him all day but I'd get too jealous. Damn! Back to practising then, I guess!
Phil always manages to make my day just a little bit better! Thanks for that.
Phil playing VH, Doesn't get any better than that, genuine joy!
I love the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop!
WOW!! This guitar is a MASTERPIECE!! I love it!
What an awesome sounding instrument and Phil is rocking, humbly even... great guy
By far the greatest demo guy on You Tube... Great guitar playing!! Thank you Mr. Phil X
What a great sound! I love this guitar!
first time i've seen you man as i was hunting for this lovely guitar and man you're a hero. keep it up!
Brilliant stuff, love watching Phil, he`s funny, a good player and the guitars are fantastic...love it.
Proof positive its not always having humbuckers, pedals and processors, and metal oriented amps or guitars. Its in the fingers and in your soul, and knowing how to operate controls on your guitar and amp. Here Phil is playing classic rock and metal, straight into a Tonemaster with a P90 Les Paul.
Best sounding clean I've ever heard!!!
I like watch your videos becuase you know play anything, all the famous songs too xx
Out of ALL the guitars Phil's reviewed this is my favourite :)
you never cease to amaze me!!!
I wish I could hit that like button 5 times for Phil X playing EVH!!!!! Stuff like that is why I keep watching!
Phil you SMOKE on every guitar you play! Damn fun to watch! Keep it up man!
Just picked up a 2010 gold top...56'tribute.pawnshop pick for $600.xmas gift from my wife...somebody's been a good boy !!
lol no u did not...keep dreaming
Chris Rocco Astoria man.. why u so jelaous? 😄 ahaha
Absolutelly mad dude! Fantastic!
Love this old videos damn watched this when it came out :)
how does he know every song ever written !!!!! love this guy
Waaaay too talented and strangely humble with it (even though he's loud). Genius.
Man this guy is so good that I watched this vid and scrolled down to click the like button 4-5 times...
That guitar just rings. Who needs an ambient reverb. The guitar builds all by itself.
Rock on, Phil. We love you man
I’ve played one of these original les Paul’s great guitars
played my first goldtop today, ill never forgetttt
Guys i could never afford one of these guitars, but damn i love watching these videos!
gotta love the jangle at the begining
I don't understand why the old Gold Tops aren't as desirable as they should be! Sounds amazing.
damn I wish I could just jam on classic guitars like phil gets to. Lucky man, you can tell he loves what he does
Gold tops are my favourite and 12th April is my birthday. Very well timed upload. Great video. Thanks
Until next time "PEACE BE WITH YOU "
gold tops r def my fav les pauls i want one so bad
I was wondering how to play the intro of "Flippin' Out" that is pretty hard to understand just by ear. Then I just watched this video to see the guitar and he also explained that. He's the man.
i've been doing that EVH trick since i started playing. i never had bought footswitch so i would turn down my rhythm pick up volume so the output is so low that it doesn't pick up the gain even when it's maxed, it's a sweet ass trick
the flippin' out intro is brilliant!!!!
Amazing musician, astronomical guitar. I'm shooting to pick one up just searching. Love the gold top with the P90 pick ups.
Awesome Van Hallen cover
That thing at the end was SICK with PH!
Damn,impressive tone for Sandman with P90s,fucking awesome.
I used to watch this on my N97 😍
God that is a sweet sounding guitar. I love those P90s!!!!!
Phil's Amazing as usual.
played 1 once it had been converted to one soap bar bridge it was guitar heaven mind blowing kool
That guitar is just a tone monster!
Awesome stuff mate, I've had not known that you could do that with a les paul...
Back in the days was awesome 👍😎 now getting so motion
the treble pickup sounds amazing
you managed to get through life this far without ever hearing that riff??? Wow, that's an achievement man.
That guitar looks good on you phil!
awesome sounding guitar.
i can feel u how to enjoy and play the guitar!!! good job man!!!!!!!!
DAMN Phil x you fuckin rock man! Totally insane how good you are
Phil deserves a commission on any P-90 Gold Top sold by anyone anywhere from now on. I already bought a P-90 SG because of him. Gold Top and ES 335 are on the short list. Epi Sheraton is making due for now. Keep it up!
Da-yuuumm that LP sounds beyond awesome!
'This guitar's just a singer' - Phil X (made me start looking around for a P90 LP : ) and a free lesson or two, too!
Phil, if people didn't know you were the greatest before, this video proves it!! Priceless stuff! No kidding!!
this guy is totally crazy, I love him !
I have that same guitar and it is awesome!
love the gold deluxe with the p90's the sustain is like nothing else.... which is what I love most about this guitar although I don't see him showing that off here also thought 57 was the last year for p90's
sick guitar and sick guitarist
Phil is awesome and an LP with P90's is awesome.
David Gilmour's "Another Brick in the Wall" solo was done with his P90 on one of these Gold Top Les Paul with Bigsb. Wow! this spectacular (y)
Wow, I thought i was in heaven when Phil played at 1:36!!
The nicest shopkeeper I've ever seen
christ that guitar sounds good. I can only imagine what my ears would hear if i heard it in real life
It's my favorite guitar tone ! ! !
Phil x is my hero
Of all the guitars iv seen on fretted americana that one sounds nice above all the rest, Les Paul was pure genius
This dude is a fuckin' legend. What a great attitude he has.
Great guitarist.
Dude you put the fun back into playing I usually get mad when I mess up , from now on I'm gonna take a leaf outta your book man aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh ah a ah ah aaahhh ah e e e ahh much betta
I think i like this guitar more than the 59 he played.. Sounds better to my ear. Both obviously amazing instruments
I'm a fender player all the way but wen I finally decide on a gibby I want this exact guitar
The best gold top Gibson ever made.
Beautiful
I miss this
I'll take the 56 gold top any day over just about any guitar but I want the one that's gold on the back and sides too.😆🤘
Phil X + P90s = Awesome!
"You think 'man, that's a compression pedal!', but it's not man, this guitar's just a singer" ... holy shit, what a beauty, wow!
( though the natural tube compression on the Vox is helping it a bit )
Nothing like a hot p-90 for that crunchy early rock sound.
This popped up on my feed Dec 2021
Damn I want that guitar.
The Les Paul really gives a unique sound that other guitars can't match.Pretty much all of Zeppelins stuff was done on a LP.When Eric Clapton was with cream he used a LP and a SG he switched to the strat after cream. Even during the reunion the songs didn't sound the same every time I hear crossroads I think of that Gibson sound.
To be fair to the fender fans the strat sound cant be matched on a Gibson.Both are great guitars it comes down to what tone you prefer.PRS's sound pretty sick too!!
I like P90’s more than Real PAF’s
I’d rather have a 55’ with wrap tail.. I’d take either..😊
Phil, I’m glad you finally got success. I don’t know another guy that deserves it more!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻👊🏻
Best job ever
Phil X , respect!
Everytime Phil plays a goldtop, Pure Magic happens. For those who disagree look up every video where he plays a goldtop & just see if you find any sub par ones. They do not exist.
Honestly and truly, this is THE best sounding guitar I've heard y'all demonstrate. To me, and I know people will think I'm nuts, this is the last GREAT Les Paul model before they completely ruined it in 59. The perfect model was the 54 with the single stopbar tail piece. The tune-o-matic in my opinion is the most uncomfortable, unnecessary crap that Gibson ever force fed the consumer. Perfect intonation can be achieved on the 54, 55, and 56 and they are way more comfy to play. Just my 2 cents.
@Glockenator I'll do that. Thanks for your help!
THIS IS GOOD GOOD STUFF !
