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...
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
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!
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.
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
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!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻👊🏻
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!
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.
I believe Phil X has rightfully deserved his spot amongst the guitar gods. Paige. Hendrix. Clapton. Gilmour. Blackmore. (don't feel like typing the rest) X!
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
I became addicted with FA vids since I discovered. Phil, you´re the man. But, I´ve seen like 100 of your vids guys, or maybe more, but of all those ones, I fell in love with this axe. don´t know. I love les pauls, tere´s something magical about the p90´s and I didn´t owned a gold top. I was between the bonammassa, the R7, the slash GT, but no... It was this 56 the one. I pick it today in the post. and i´m speechless. Beautiful. Forget the bonammassa or slash one. This is the real deal
"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.
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.
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!!
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!
P 90'S SOUND GREAT, clean and dirty. Gibson made a Les Paul re-issue sun burst with a matte finish along with P 90's, $850ish not that long ago, Great deal. Remember Phil use to host a jam night up here and his band was called "Big Banana", lol...good solid rock player.
is that a heritage guitar in the bottom right coner? and if so can you please play it! i got a 1986 The Heritage les paul sunburst and it plays amazing!
@frettedamericana I would like to have the chords played between 1.60 and 2.22, I am learning to play the acoustic guitar and I would really like to study this progression, thanx in advance
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
Phil is the cover master..... How he remembers them all is beyond awesome.
Man, I usually can't stand guys like Phil. But I find it impossible to dislike him.
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...
You cant helped but get amped when you see this guy. He loves what he does and is very good what he does.
I keep coming back to watch these videos to pump up my positivism
I just like the fact he is not afraid to play the guitars
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 always manages to make my day just a little bit better! Thanks for that.
I wish I could hit that like button 5 times for Phil X playing EVH!!!!! Stuff like that is why I keep watching!
Phil playing VH, Doesn't get any better than that, genuine joy!
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!
I love the Gibson Les Paul Goldtop!
By far the greatest demo guy on You Tube... Great guitar playing!! Thank you Mr. Phil X

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

I can't believe this is like 10 years ago
I like watch your videos becuase you know play anything, all the famous songs too xx
Brilliant stuff, love watching Phil, he`s funny, a good player and the guitars are fantastic...love it.
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.
played 1 once it had been converted to one soap bar bridge it was guitar heaven mind blowing kool
Waaaay too talented and strangely humble with it (even though he's loud). Genius.
I don't understand why the old Gold Tops aren't as desirable as they should be! Sounds amazing.
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.
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
WOW!! This guitar is a MASTERPIECE!! I love it!
Phil you SMOKE on every guitar you play! Damn fun to watch! Keep it up man!
Awesome Van Hallen cover
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!!🤙🏻🤙🏻🤙🏻👊🏻
Rock on, Phil. We love you man
Out of ALL the guitars Phil's reviewed this is my favourite :)

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)
Phil x is my hero
What an awesome sounding instrument and Phil is rocking, humbly even... great guy

The best gold top Gibson ever made.

Until next time "PEACE BE WITH YOU "
gold tops r def my fav les pauls i want one so bad
lol i remember seeing phil x reviews every day back then in the 2010s coolest axes reviewer ever

the treble pickup sounds amazing
gotta love the jangle at the begining
damn I wish I could just jam on classic guitars like phil gets to. Lucky man, you can tell he loves what he does
Phil, if people didn't know you were the greatest before, this video proves it!! Priceless stuff! No kidding!!
I believe Phil X has rightfully deserved his spot amongst the guitar gods.
Paige.
Hendrix.
Clapton.
Gilmour.
Blackmore.
(don't feel like typing the rest)
X!
this guy is totally crazy, I love him !
you never cease to amaze me!!!
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
That thing at the end was SICK with PH!
Amazing musician, astronomical guitar. I'm shooting to pick one up just searching. Love the gold top with the P90 pick ups.
What a great sound! I love this guitar!
Back in the days was awesome 👍😎 now getting so motion
Phil is awesome and an LP with P90's is awesome.
Best sounding clean I've ever heard!!!
God that is a sweet sounding guitar. I love those P90s!!!!!
That guitar is just a tone monster!
I think i like this guitar more than the 59 he played.. Sounds better to my ear. Both obviously amazing instruments
first time i've seen you man as i was hunting for this lovely guitar and man you're a hero. keep it up!
I became addicted with FA vids since I discovered. Phil, you´re the man. But, I´ve seen like 100 of your vids guys, or maybe more, but of all those ones, I fell in love with this axe. don´t know.

I pick it today in the post. and i´m speechless. Beautiful. Forget the bonammassa or slash one. This is the real deal
While the whole switching from treble to rythmn for clean distortion luckily now we have distortion switches.
"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.

The nicest shopkeeper I've ever seen
Phil X + P90s = Awesome!
guys heeellllp, i have been given the oppurtunity to aquire a gibson, either the les paul studio or the sg special faded and i cant decide :O
oh my god that guitar is what angels use in heaven, that bit starting at 1:32 is is just rad
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!!
Wow, I thought i was in heaven when Phil played at 1:36!!
DAMN Phil x you fuckin rock man! Totally insane how good you are
I'm a fender player all the way but wen I finally decide on a gibby I want this exact guitar
This dude is a fuckin' legend. What a great attitude he has.
you managed to get through life this far without ever hearing that riff??? Wow, that's an achievement man.
Awesome stuff mate, I've had not known that you could do that with a les paul...
the flippin' out intro is brilliant!!!!
I have that same guitar and it is awesome!
Zep did a lot of recording on a Telecaster. The LP was just live use.
I used to watch this on my N97 😍
Phil's Amazing as usual.
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!
That guitar looks good on you phil!
Best guitar ever!!!! 👌
Damn,impressive tone for Sandman with P90s,fucking awesome.
what's that numbuh he's doin' @1:58? the one that sounds like that old 60's tune 'something in the air'.
P 90'S SOUND GREAT, clean and dirty. Gibson made a Les Paul re-issue sun burst with a matte finish along with P 90's, $850ish not that long ago, Great deal. Remember Phil use to host a jam night up here and his band was called "Big Banana", lol...good solid rock player.
The sustain, listen to it.
Luke Blase if it were plugged you could hear
You can go and have a bite and aaaaaaaah! You’d still be hearing that one.
is that a heritage guitar in the bottom right coner? and if so can you please play it! i got a 1986 The Heritage les paul sunburst and it plays amazing!
P-90s, why aren't those pickups used more often? There are some stacked humbucker versions out, these days.
@Glockenator I'll do that. Thanks for your help!
Absolutelly mad dude! Fantastic!
christ that guitar sounds good. I can only imagine what my ears would hear if i heard it in real life
Whats the song in the intro of the video. It sounds like the start of an awesome song.
@frettedamericana I would like to have the chords played between 1.60 and 2.22,
I am learning to play the acoustic guitar and I would really like to study this progression, thanx in advance
Could u do a review of the double cutaway melody maker in the back?
