This forty-eight year old, 13-inch-wide Les Paul SG Standard weighs just 7.20 lbs. and has a nice, fat nut width of just over 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Solid Honduras mahogany body with beveled edges, one-piece mahogany neck with a typical '62 medium thin profile, and rosewood fretboard with 22 jumbo frets. Two original Gibson PAF humbucking pickups with outputs of 7.56k and 7.70k. Four controls plus three-way selector switch, all on lower treble bout. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic non-retainer bridge with metal saddles and Gibson "Sideways" Vibrola tailpiece. All hardware nickel-plated. The rich cherry finish on this guitar is totally unfaded and there is some very typical light finish checking. There are a few very small and insignificant marks/indentations on the back and the edges. There is just one very small mark/indentation on the top - just by the jack input. Otherwise this "last of the Les Pauls" is in as near mint (9.25) condition as one could wish for. Complete with the original "Tune-O-Matic Bridge" instruction sheet. Housed in its original Gibson four-latch "Faultless" black hardshell case with orange plush lining (9.25).
I wish I were as positive as Phil X. I need this guy to follow me around all the time and keep me in an upbeat mood.
Man I wish I could play like this
total crackpot, great player, great performer. Phil is great!!!
Four fingers and a thumb to play the same note. Genius.
These videos are the best guitar thing on UA-cam.
oh man that sound with the neck pickup AMAZING
Hey! I've got one of those except I bought it new in 1962 when I was 17 and it came with a Bigsby.
I don't play it much because I've gone off to jazz-land but when I plug it in I'm always blown away by the authority of the tone in the thing and the amazing comfort of the neck..
The sound of Phil playing that Guitar through That Amp is the sound I hear in my head when I think perfect tone... That guitar is INCREDIBLE!!!
Phil! I love add 9 chords or which ever is just 1,3,5,9 without the 7. So please when ever you want do them then do them!
If I remember correctly Les Paul did not designed the Les Paul. The only input he had was he wanted trapezoid inlays. It was Ted McCarty that designed Les Paul and I believe he also designed the SG, Flying V and Explorer as well. And he gets no credit whatsoever.
Les Paul Standards were build from 1957/58-1960 and from 1968 onward. LPSGs were build from 1961-1963 and from 1963 onward as SGs.
I DO NOT want the tabs....I need to know which COFFEE you drink!!! LOVE watching you play and sing....great rock voice!!!
Some people are just born to be able to play. Not many can
Phil X does the Best demo's on youtube hands down with out any form of doubt of competition and yes I made that redundant
this sounds so goddamn good. like, it sounds AMAZING and really ringy and chimey and sustainy clean, but it also sounds really good through the tonemaster. this is like one of the best sounding videos you've done, i think. it makes me really want an sg but i know nothing i could afford would sound anything like this!
So Phil X is pretty much my idol. He inspires me to keep playing and to better my playing and to keep music fun. Thanks Phil! :D
such a great voice.

When Ever I see your Videos Im Always Drawn to that Lucille in the Corner.... that guitar Rocks !!
@61SGman SURE!! Send us yours, and we'll do it! ;)
@Kreason95 -how can anyone HATE the gibson sg?? it's a very lovable guitar.
Wow, that has a great tone! And that crazy whammy bar. But dang it doesn't sound $26,000 good. But that's not the only reason you get it, I guess.
@bungmasterteddybear
it is indeed a whammy bar but you unfold it and instead of an up and down motion actuating the tremolo, it's a side to side motion. i tried it before we shot and it knocked it out of tune but next time we'll try it out at the end of the vid.
I love this guy
bout time you guys gave phil a mic so he didnt have to shout !
keep up the good work ^_^
4:05 Oh...My.....Gosh......best guitar I've ever heard
@SixStringHarmonies it's all about the wood . The particular batch of hardwood used by the manufacturer in a given yr . The grain of the wood and a number of factors make it impossible to duplicate it exactly
e troppo bravo phil a un modo di suonare tutto al naturale e molto personale poi con le sg la padronanza e unica
Way to work in "American Woman" as much as possible! I never get tired of that solo!
Amen to not having to play what other people play on a type of guitar! I have a gretsch hollowbody and when I feel like it, I crank up the gain and treble and play ac/dc!
that's the reason why People say SG's are Les Paul's "brothers"
By the way man you are an awesome musician
"In this case it is AC/DC!"^^ ahaha love that guy man SG kicks asses... ;)
This guy is a legend!
The Beatle's George Harrison played an SG a similiar date to this one during 65' and 66', used on songs like "Paperback Writer" and "Rain"
@XecronDeathstorm That was the song Up Here by Powder. He showed how to play that part in the video at 8:07.
Alright Phil, use that sideways vibrola man! I want to hear that thing! I love the playing though, always amazing. Killer tone too!
you are totally correct. it was an effort to modernize the les paul by relieving weight, and improving comfortablility and playablity with the new sleeker body shape. also the early models had those vibrato systems on them, like this one, and some had 3 pickups. this was an attempt to recreate the success of the strat and appeal to more progressive players, hence the 3 pups, whammy, and sleeker body. les wasnt a fan so yeah, they called it sg (solid guitar).
great demo , Phil is one of those guys who make your day =)
hey wuz up phil! just thought id let you know you are my FAVORITE GUITAR PLAYER!!!! anyway ya you and Jade Puget!
@PBANDSNOW its a sg with a les paul truss rod cover and the pickups are the same
I definitely understand that the tone master is a magic amp. And i know you guys get tons of questions asking "Where do i get one of those?!" i was wondering if there's a cheap alternative, or even if Phil has a suggestion to a maybe not exact, but close alternative. But none the less great vids americana dudes. and phil always rippin
me too man what a great tone that was.
@61SGman BUMMER! Us either right now ;)
those harmonics up by the bridge pickup are also used to play the intro to how its made
Great new video! I don't have much to say honestly except I really enjoy the videos, Thanks a lot for them!
nice crunch tone
@XecronDeathstorm I think it's the one Phil played in the 'second lesson' called Up Here by his band Powder.
dude the other day i played and 62, sg. 2 p90s and a wraparound bridge. amazing
wooooohohho guys!
I can see a couple of Jazzmasters on the background!
I'll be waiting...
@PBANDSNOW
He explains it pretty clearly. They changed the design of the les paul to the SG style, then when the les paul came back in 68 they produced both, called the traditional design the les paul and the SG style the SG to differentiate them.
So, it's a les paul, because in 1962 the Les Paul was the SG style.
@MrTomZombie
i ALWAYS use the bad monkey overdrive but just for solos so what you're hearing the rest of the time is just that amp. also... i have a Ultimate Attenuator Pro that sucks the juice from the head for rhythm volume and with a footswitch bypasses it for full volume for a solo boost.
i swear Phil, you were born with a guitar in your hands
@zombiegaara The lightness bit might be true, but SG stands for Solid Guitar, not Super Guitar
Dude you remind me of Jack Black in school of rock
@Kido4Life yeah... i'm looking all over the web for info/sounds on these. phil should demonstrate how that thing works! PLEASE!?
i absolutly love you phil xD
You couldnt possibly poke me in the direction of a tab or a video demo of that air hockey champion song? im really feelin it
got mine in either 2004 or 2005, best guitar ever.
@eleph4nt you should go to our web site for all the details... Just sayin'
@ACDCv5150II Hey this is Dusty!! but Phil reads comments everyday and does tend to reply so look out for him prowling around!! look for philx1111
should have done some black keys with that neck pickup into the tonemaster with the gain on like 2. some slide also would be nice i bet phil plays slide really well
@PBANDSNOW The SG was originally a redesigned version of the Les Paul, The first few years that the SG came out, there was no "Les Paul" because the SG was the Les Paul (Les Paul Solid Guitar) but Les Paul didn't like the SG so they took his name off and just called it the SG.
man! did that guy just put a piece of gum on the vox AC30? !
AJAJA You Rock Phil!!
my dream guitar!
@Fiddstx what kinda question is that? The guitar of course!
I love this guy!
is phil x for hire ? like can i hire him to play for me so that i can steal all his amazing techniques ? hahaha love this guy !! :)
you should do a review of the gibson les paul studio.
You are an amusing fellow. Then again, being around all those guitars all day would make me giddy as hell too! But I can't play as well as you do :(
someday please someone use the sideways trem no one ever shows it i dont even know how it works
@frettedamericana HEY PHIL!!! where is tour tone nob set on the neck pup at 8:56 ?
have you ever thought of playing the AC30 distorted? that SG would sound amazing like that, especially if you were still playing with your fingers; and why do you never play Beautiful Apartment? that song is awesome!!
I have always wanted an SG!
@bryanrocksDean read the description Bro
OMG WHEN HE SWITCHED OVER TO THE TONEMASTER UNLEASH THE BEAST
Oh wow oh wow I love that guitar!
@infamousGriff 1. ok 2. can't answer for Phil 3. $26,500
Phil, which pickups do you prefer
you know PAFs, Strats, Teles, JMs, FilterTrons, DeArmonds ect.
please reply
@TolikRyumin i think it is the esp sg style he uses with the powder and the drills. i dnt know if i am correct
you are fantastic at guitar seriously you are sooooooooo good i was like :OOOOOOOO
one of my dream guitars :)
HEY PHIL! can you show how to play "talk you off the edge" by the drills? THAT WOULD BE AWESOME! ROCK ON!
Could be OZM if some day you do a Streaming demo of a guitar or a couple of guitars...for real, i think it could be something legendary
HAhahha 4:26 "TONEMASTER BABAAAYY!" Phil X you can melt my face any day.
i just love this guy xD
man when he switched to the middle position at 4:06 and played that progression
i was like...... WOW
thats actually why i rewatch this
Damn, FA...that guitar was a find. Great playing too, PhilX. After reviewing my tax return, I think I'm still about $16K shy of buying that guitar. LOL. Ya'll have a great day.
what is more importent ?
to have a mor expensive guitar or a more expensive amp? i have 500 euros so what do you think?
how do those trems work? i've seen them but i never understood the mechanics.
@frettedamericana
ok but was he using it as a boost or as an overdrive?
I could be completely wrong, but Gibson called it the les paul, because it was supposed to be something like the upgrade to a les paul, like the next model, but Mr Paul didn't like it so told them not to name it after him. So as it's body was just a solid lump of wood and the Les Paul was not, they called it SG for Solid Guitar :) At least that is what I came to believe :) So that is why reeeeeeally early SGs are called Les Pauls :)
Please someone correct me if I'm wrong :)
@PBANDSNOW at that time they were both
the SG Started as a restyled les paul
Nothin like an SG, I LOVE mine ! !
I read on a gibson forum that SG actually stands for "second generation", not "solid guitar", to distinguish it from the original style Les Paul. Has anyone else ever read or heard that?
How is this guy not famous?
I love everything about this guitar, it fricken' rocks!! :D
@keineahnung1001 it depends on if you need tweakability of tone or if you need a guitar that can handle radical playing. if you play a lot, all the time, get a guitar with a neck shape you like and a tone you want. if you play someone elses songs or want to achieve a particular sound, get a combo amp with built in effects.
Is it possible that someone might have lost the SG truss rod cover and replaced it with a Les Paul one? I have no doubt that FrettedAmericana is accurate, but they look exactly the same.
Phil has got a fucking awesome voice, especially on Hell's Bells
Man l Love SG's , Hey Phil ls lt Possible To Get A SG Tone With A Strat Bridge Humbucker? Like Settings And Stuff . Anything Close Would Be Awesome, l Had A SG But Traded lt :(
@PBANDSNOW go to our website and read the full description which gives you the history of how this guitar developed. It's worth a read...thanks.
great voice !
