This light weight Les Paul Custom weighs just 9.20 lbs. and has a solid mahogany body with a slightly arched top. One-piece mahogany neck with a nice thick profile, a comfortable nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Ebony fretboard with 22 original thin frets and inlaid pearl block position markers. The top of the guitar has seven-ply binding, the back of the guitar has five-ply binding, the headstock has five-ply binding, and the fretboard has single white binding. Headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and five-piece pearl split-diamond inlay. Two-layer (black on white) truss-rod cover with "Les Paul Custom" engraved in white secured by two screws. Individual Grover Roto-Matic tuners with half-moon metal buttons. The serial number "8 6330" is inked in yellow on the back of the headstock. Three original 'gold-plated' double-black PAF humbucking pickups with outputs of 8.05k, 8.28k, and 7.86k (each with a small rectangular black label "Patent Applied For" on the underside. The black pickup rings on the neck and middle are stamped on the underside "MR 491 / M-69 7". The black pickup ring on the treble pickup is stamped on the underside "MR 490 / M-69 8". Five-layer (black / white / black / white / black) plastic pickguard secured to body by two screws. Four controls (two volume, two tone) on lower treble bout plus three-way selector switch on upper bass bout. Black plastic bell-shaped "Bell" knobs. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic non-retainer bridge with metal saddles and separate stud tailpiece. All hardware gold-plated. The potentiometers are all stamped: "134 838" (Centralab, September 1958). This totally original example is one of the lightest 'PAF' Les Paul Customs that we have seen. At just 9.20 pounds it is just one ounce heavier than the lightest one we have had (9.10 pounds). We have had eight PAF Customs over the years ranging from 9.10 pounds to 10.70 pounds. This guitar is in excellent plus (8.75) condition. The frets are original and have been dressed. The gold hardware is a little tarnished. There is an area of wear (approximately 4 1/2 x 4 inches) on the back of the body. There are a few other small areas of wear on the sides and a tiny chip on the treble face binding of the headstock. There are a few small marks on the back of the neck and some fine finish checking. This guitar has been lovingly played and is all original. The three PAF's have never had their covers removed and all of the solder joints are original. This is an opportunity to acquire an all original Les Paul Black Beauty at a much lower price than usual. The perfect weight, the perfect neck profile and the incredible bite of the PAF's make this a truly great guitar. Housed in its original Gibson black pebble-grain "black beauty" hardshell case with orange plush lining (8.50).
9 years later in 2020 and I'm watching it again. Phil X Rox!
UA-cam recommends
ahha same man revisting
Rox like da Hard Knox and da Durty Sox.
(Get da reference?)
Is this the one where he does IN THE LIGHT? he shows how to do it right in one of these...
It's 2023!
11 years later in 2022 and I'm watching it first time...
Phil X rocks!
I'm watching it again. Phil X rocks!
At the best collab ever. Phil X and frettedamericana still here 11 years later watching!
Phil X is Rock n Roll!!!!!.
Not watched his videos in years...great to come back to them for some great nostalgia.
Phil X is the rare guy that actually impresses other rockstars. He breaks the ice with his antics and then surprises them will extreme talent.
Yeah, Phil X screws around, jokes around...then he plays! Then I go "Holy crap! THIS GUY CAN PLAY MAN!!!!". I love this dude.
this video inspired me 9 years ago. thanks phil!
Phil X...guaranteed to make your day better.
What gets better than this? A cold brew in the hand on a Friday night with 12 minutes of awesomeness from Phil X. I'd buy that for a dollar!
Its really great that he also plays rhythm and sings.
Guitars are beyond shredding and many youtubers forget this.
Don't think i've ever seen or heard anyone with as many chops as Phil X
This was probably the best guitar demo i've ever seen
Phil is an interesting cat but I wouldn't want to be stuck in a life boat with him for any length of time.
phil would be gently thrown over as soon as he fell asleep,lol!!
and i like the guy,but damn he is hyper as hell.
he has 2 years on me age-wise and I don't have near the energy that he does....I'd love to know his secret.
Eric Davis It involves some white stuff that you consume with your nose ;)
...and babies' blood.
Eric Davis It's L'Oreal, just look at the foofiness of his hair. It gives him power.
has phil ever been sad like ever? i swear he’s always in a good mood
Phil X is awesome. When I watch petrucci or someone like that, I get discouraged playing. But when I watch phil he makes me wanna play just because its fun. rock on phil!
When ever I get bored at work i watch Phil's guitar reviews... and then I LMAO..!! Thank you Phil X..!!!
AWESOME DUUUUUDE. Great Gibson with triples..!!!!!
For me today Phil X is one of the best rock guitarist, he play everything well with " tube tone " and also he sing very well, amazing.
This dude can play anything! Awesome stuff...
10yrs later and still awesomeness! Freaking love that guy!
This guy is just on another level. Amazing chops , great personality, and has a killer voice !! Dude rocks !!
The campfire would never be boring with Phil around that's for sure!!!! haha
If Robert Plant and Jack Black had a baby...
Christian Conti now that's just mean!!!
😂
And Bobcat Goldthwait raised him
phil x is the ultimate super fan of 70s rock
Jack Black is super annoying and not funny.
A modern rock genius ... gotta love Mr X
Twenty years ago, I was on a flight from Miami to New York. A guy gets up in first class and starts playing a guitar. It was Phil X. He played "Brutal Planet" and something from The Doors. I think it was "L.A. Woman". Blew us away!
You all are teasing about his energy level, and used to think the same, but is a bad thing to have A LOT of energy? and why does it have to be related to drugs? I will suggest that one, he is doing something that he loves, excited and passionate about sharing guitars, two, he is promoting selling them, and he gets to ham it up and just be a tad crazy:) Why not??:) How many times have you listened to one of these youtube vids and the guys is boring you to sleep?? Rock, metal, and everything else guitar SHOULD be exciting! If you want to see a serious side of Phil X check out his position on his tone, and what is important for good guitarists, and their playing...I enjoy all of these vids, makes me smile and I learn A LOT:) ROCK ON PHIL!!
I agree Phil X is awesome
I couldn't agree more
Maybe every one is dumber down from vaccine and fluride !??!
Seriously, all these people must have been boring doormats
This guy is great. Not his playing. His rock-star, dip-stick persona :)
Phil is one of those super talented guys you meet at the guitar store that shows everything he knows to everyone and there's some quiet, nerdy kid in the background who watches him, distills what he's doing, takes the juiciest 10% of it and goes out and becomes immensely famous.
this fella is awesome and he cracks me up
Phil X makes Guitar Reviewing fun. I mean you can't help but laugh and enjoy the video and he actually "plays" the guitars unlike those videos that spend soooo much time going over the data sheets and messing around.
The guitar of my dreams;
Fher BG .. me too .. 😊
me 3
Fher BG Same but if i get it i'm thinking of putting a floyd rose whammy bar.
Carlos Zamora please, please never ever come near a les paul.
Slash Le Pew Why is that
This dude knows every song on the friggin planet. Singing and playing at the same time and being funny to boot. Talented!
My ‘05 R7 LPC Black Beauty 3pup w/Bigsby cannot be beat! I’ve owned many LP’s but my R7 just rocks…Great to see Vintage Phil! I miss these videos but I can now rock some killer axes on my own! Rock on Phil!
this was probably one of the best episodes in my opinion. keep on rocking
Phil your awesome and an inspiration
I just got back from 12 full hours at school (8 AM to 8 PM) and this vid just made my day :)
this dude kills me..
can jam like nobodys business and doesn't seem all full of himself. Just havin fun. Nice!
How does he remember how to play so many songs?!?
he is probably good enough to play those riffs by ear
Smokes lots of good weed
Both
Phil does a very good Robert Plant. After those guys go to the big gig in the sky, he can start Ded Zeppelin and do their material. At least I got one question answered: People don't play the middle pickup on these things.
In fairness to Phil, there is another clip of him playing this guitar where he shows the sound of the middle pick-up. It must've got accidentally edited out of this clip or the two clips are part of something bigger that included them both. Rock on Mr. X!
the mid pickup is wired to the bridge pickup. The pickup selector is 1) neck 2) mid + treble 3) treble . Jimmy Page customized his guitar so that he could select more combinations, this model came out later as the JP Custom edition
ironpirites Good Robert Plant. Horrible Ozzy.
13 years later still watching
Goddammit why does every Black Beauty LPC have to sound so amazing.
sometimes i think he looks like Tom Araya
Dude you have some mad vocals dude sounds sick asf!
It´s is always a class, man! Phil delivers so much culture! Amazing!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I remember Phil playing Zepplin in the back of the Cafeteria in highschool.
sitting on top of the tables, just strummin away every chance he got!
That passion never went away
You my motivation! Respect.)
Both Foreigner and the Clash had guitarist who played LPs and were named Mick Jones. Weird huh?
Jim McCarty>>Yardbirds & Jim McCarty>>Detroit Wheels/Cactus. Both played Drums.
If you knew the truth about the music business it is weird beyond belief
I love that he doesn't baby these crazy-expensive guitars. He plays the CRAP out of 'em!
They're guitars and SHOULD be played!!
amazing guitar, amazing player, amazing songs, then amazing video
Phil X should join Led Zeppelin as lead singer.
lmao when he said who's the wild man of rock and im like... Ted Nugnet? And then he goes "and not Ted Nugent" Im dead Love you Phil ROCK ON!!!
phil - you laugh at yourself about the delay at the end of the solo, but you are always spot on. great stuff. i always enjoy watching these videos.... keep -em coming...
You have so much fun... youtube and guitar needs this back!
this guy is hilarious
Can you imagine Phil X and Chappers doing a review together?! Wow…
Mooseboy08 He was in England not long ago doing a show with Chappers band, Dorja. Look it up on the Anderton UA-cam page.
U Krazy........................Keep On Rocking!!
Just learnt to play show me the way just by watching Phil. Awesome
Jimi played everything, holy shit. How ignorant am I, thought he only used a Stratocaster.
he used Pauls, V's sg's and I belive he used a tele in the studio
He considered his Strats to be his work horses, but from what I know his favorite guitar was his Gibson Flying V custom. You can see him in some pictures with it, he hand painted the body and its quite sick looking.
Guitarists are Gods He recorded the solos in Voodoo Child and Purple Haze on a telecaster, that's for sure.
didn't anyone notice we are talking about Jimi Page not Hendrix
ahaha
I behave like this at Guitar Center and Atlanta Discount Music :P
is Atlanta discount music still there?how about George?
Yes on both.
I bought my first Real Guitar from ADM in 1985 Japanese Squire that played amazing!!
Great video Phil. This is awesome. The Zakk was fantastic..!
les paul black beauty..the most gorgeous guitar in the world..bar none.
Oh, yeah! ''me likes Phil'' lol He's something... Guitar players... hummm :P
Didn't izzy stradlin use one of these?
Yea
Guitar is great. So are you Philx! Thanks. Funny videos by a very talented dude. Keep on.
This has been awesome!
Is there anything this guy can't play?
Seven Nation Army.
The solo to Lollipop by Lil Wayne
You give love a bad name
A bad lick
DECAF!!!!!
The hair.
phil has got to be the best lead guitarist/ lead singer combo I've ever heard.
Sounds awesome! When I saw Frampton in Oakland at Day on the Green in 1977 he played an orange Stratocaster during "Show me the Way."
i thought hes a coke binger but hes been doing this happy extravert way of being loud for too many years while looking healthy so
He doesn't have Coke cottonmouth and his demeanor is different than somebody on cocaine
What? No Ace Frehley?
***** His budokan les sounds and plays like a pile of shit
The one with the photo of him on the headstock?
*****
scott grove is an authority on absolutely nothing,complete dickinthemouth
trillriff-axegrinder Scott Grove blows winos for lunch money.
Love the sound of a Les Paul with real PAF's in it.
I love this guy. Always full of spirit.
HOLY CRYSTAL METHE..
JUDE CREE sober.
device9 this was the first video I had ever seen of him and that was my initial impression... after watching many more since to current I would have to agree!
Only except he plays Show me the Way on a Strat!! Not a Les Paul.
+roquefortfiles you must be really great at parties
+Dentark1 I don't think hes being lame or over the top... I appreciate the tidbit.
Love your video's Phil!
My favorite guitar player alive!
Now thats you, Mr. X!
Funny how he calls show me the way a Gay song yet he played with that hack Bon Jovi
gay...as in happy...
jperryfan "happy, gay song" gay as in happy
FINALLY!!!! i have been waiting for some Frampton, and it actually happened! that seriously made my day dude.
This is prob the best Gibson ever made..58' black beauty all the way! Keep rockin Phil!
Love ur energy & cool jams dude!!!
this guy made my day!
Amazing Phil!
God sent Phil x to remind us how to rock
love that guitar.
Great energy for a long time. Seems like a good
This guy is incredibly talented!
this is my dream guitar
What I love about the demos is NO Mesa, Orange, Engl, or anyother Gain happy amps. Yet he can go from blues to hard rock. Awesomeness.
Glad they're doing some sort of collab!
Phil is a blast to watch
This man is so great
Awesome guitar and super choice licks bro.
He´s awesome!!
Finally, someone who knows what a real guitarist is
This dude is a trip. I dig it
I own one of those 78/79 Black Beauties. I can’t even play a whole set with it....it’s super HEAVY! Every place I go, someone wants to buy it. I bought it brand new late in 1978 for $795....worth quite a bit more now.
Wow, that was excellent.
Gotta love how that guitar just comes alive with the dirt tones... Sounds great clean, sounds even better driven :P
love this guy,,,,,,You make me wanna sing bro!!!!
Got to love Phil
