Refreshed in '63
1954 Fender Stratocaster
This guitar was born in July 1954… one of the first year Stratocaster's. It was purchased from the original owner in 1956 and played extensively through the late fifties and early sixties. By 1963 the guitar was 'quite well worn' and the owner wanted to continue to play on a maple fretboard so he sent the guitar back to Fender and asked them to refinish and refret the neck, and also to refinish the body in his favorite color, Lake Placid Blue - but he specified that they should keep all of the original electronics as he really liked the sound of the original 1954 pickups. The guitar was returned to him later that year (in a then new 1963 case). For all these years he believed that Fender had re-finished the original body - but in fact we now know that they replaced the body to match the then current eleven-screw 'green' pick-guard.
This 12 3/4-inch-wide guitar weighs 7.50 lbs. and has a nut width of just under 1 5/8 inches and a scale length of 25 1/2 inches. Mid 1963 solid alder body (with shoulder in control cavity), contoured on back and lower bass bout. Original July 1954 one-piece fretted maple neck with a medium-to-fat profile (with the pencil mark of "TG[Tadeo Gomez]-7-54"], 21 medium frets, and black dot position markers. Small headstock with Spring 1962 - mid 1964 decal with Fender "spaghetti" logo in gold with black trim, "STRATOCASTER" in black beside it, "WITH SYNCHRONIZED TREMOLO" in black below it, and "PAT 2,573,254 2,741,146 2,960,900" below that, and "ORIGINAL Contour Body" at the ball end of the headstock. Original 1954 Individual single-line "no-name" Kluson Deluxe tuners with oval metal buttons (stamped inside: "2356766 PAT APPLD"). Original 1954 single circular string tree. Original 1954 four-bolt neck plate with the serial number "1099" between the top two screws (one of the screws from 1954, the other three from 1963). Original 1954 Stratocaster black-bottom single-coil pickups with staggered polepieces (the "D" magnet being the tallest) with 1963 white ABS plastic covers. The outputs of the pickups are 6.15k, 5.52k, and 6.12k. Three-layer mid-1963 three-layer 'green' guard with eleven screws. Three original 1954 controls (one volume, two tone) plus original 1954 three-way selector switch, all on treble side of the pickguard. 1963 white ABS plastic knobs with gold lettering. Original 1954 six-pivot bridge/vibrato unit with through-body stringing. 1963 white ABS plastic tremolo backplate with oval string holes and six (1963) screws. The original 1954 potentiometers are all stamped "304 429" (Stackpole September 1954) and the original 1954 "CRL 1452" three-way switch has three patent numbers and also "Made in USA" on one line. The white ABS plastic switch tip is from 1963. Complete with the original 1954 tremolo arm and later 50's/early 60's bridge cover. Housed in a 1963 Fender 'brown' hardshell case with dark orange plush lining (8.50).
Ladies and Gentlemen, I hearby declare Frettedamericana vids with Phil are the most entertaining guitar demos in the world!
Blue and maple, always a winner color combo for me
'54 neck, '63 body and finish with '54 parts. Partscaster.
Correction: A rock-the-fuck-out machine.
That guitar both looks and sounds AMAZING!!
Phil is a CRAZY man (in a good way)!!
I just played a Lake Placid Blue Stratocaster & it was BEYOND BADASS
2:10 The stunned look and this comment: "I don't know if I'd be happy with that.............."
PhilX is the no BS maestro. Absolutely fab man!
JohnnyG Fender probably sold someone else the original 54 body with 63 parts...wah...wah..
WOW this thing has been sitting in the store for sooo long, I wish I could bought it thought haha
Why am I looking at Strat's online jonesin to make that purchase of a vintage sounding one. Great demo...one of the best ever. Amazing tone!
Awesome version of I Wish man ! Soulful as hell !!
Reminds me of the video years ago with the Lake Placid Blue strat, in which he covers Kashmir. Man, that was an amazing guitar, and an amazing cover - perhaps one of my favorite renditions of the song. Great stuff Phil X, thanks for the years.
Also, awesome guitar, FrettedAmericana.
Whole new body? So this isn't really a '54 Strat, it's more like a '63 Partscaster.
that's what I'm thinking. but listen to that thing. the mid 50's pickups were magic.
why people keep forgetting about the amp... the amplifier is like 70 percent the sound he`s getting.
eduardo0796 Woahh now broseph!! Its more like whatever the hell phil wants it to be!!
More like a '54 Strat with a '63 LP Blue Body. Sounds like the body wood is the only '63 stuffs
Man, that Friedman sound soooo cool, but IMO it doesn't let the guitar breath at all, loved way more the JTM/EVILROBOT/AC30 demos
Great classic song and instantly recognizable, it's Another Brick in the Wall Part 2 from The Wall and it was released in 1979 By Pink Floyd
And David Gilmore
Hahaha! 6:49 , Pay notice to the guy in the far right corner. Probably realised that they were recording, so he ducked down, and proceeded to crawl on the floor, in order to not ruin the shot xD
Keep up the awesome content as always guys! :D
0:35 too
The lick was by David Gilmore in the song "Another Brick in the Wall (part 2)" by Pink Floyd in the album The Wall which was released November 30, 1979.
This guy is bursting with personality. I know he's amping it up because he's being filmed, but still, he hits the mark with his jokes and mannerisms most of the time. It's difficult to have that much personal expression stored inside and mentally access it that rapidly and in succession too. His playing and tone is close to my style, only better. I'm on the same particular playing style road he's driven through. I can say that much for myself. This guy is a better version of me, I'm realizing. He's more social and a little better looking. Hey, more power to him. We NEED Rock Guys like this.
God damn. I love you Phil, you amazing Canadian bastard!!
with that head amp anything sounds amazing
Hell yea! Loving the loop Phil. As always the Friedman sounds amazing!
The legend you was imitating was the awesome David Gilmour! From non other than Pink Floyd. The tune was 'Another Brick in the Wall Part 2, and the album The Wal with the year being 1979!
Phil x is back and crazier than ever lol
It still hasn't sold then?! You did a video on this years ago!!!
David Gilmour, Pink Floyd, The wall, Another Brick in the wall part 2, 1979!
Oh...because I'm really cool I will add these few other curiosities about the guitars used: 1954 Stratocaster serial number 001 for rhythm (bridge pickup); clean signal into mixing desk (double track) and Gibson Les Paul for solo (neck pickup); clean signal heavily gated/compressed into the mixing desk, then fed through a Mesa/Boogie amp and back into the mixing desk.
BTW, Phil's eyes look too guilty when he strikes those notes! Brother, you need to improve your poker face skills! :)
Man, I'm usually not one to get to involved with the snobbery involved with guitars but, Phil, you're right those 50s fender pickups are always fucking dripping with perfect tone. I agree with you, why do they change things when they're just RIGHT. Like modern vs 50s wiring. I'm building a JR DC and I'm going to try to stay vintage correct. Not sure if I'm going vintage Gibson P90 yet but, I want that sound. Take care.
Jay Graydon played the guitar solo on the Steely Dan song Peg from Aja. Edit: Sh#t, I picked that quick ascending lick up the fret board instead of the 2+ step bend. If the other folks are right I guessed wrong.
Nice loop on the Ditto!!!
I figured they shot a few videos at a time, but it's mid June and their still putting out vids from April 1st. Must've been a freaking busy day that day!
we usually shoot 8-10 vids in a day & rip load bi-weekly so yeah... they can ride out for 4 or so months.
Philx, dude thanks for another kicka$$ video. Every time I watch these I learn something. You rock bro. If I was a crap bag I would totally copy some answer but I'm not... I'm just happy learning from each of these vids. I have been wondering what the hell you read all of the guitar info from?
i'm really not as knowledgable as i seem and usually just add my opinion and a few bits i do know. specs are usually just sketched onto a piece of paper or erasable marker board. i need glasses hence my constant squinting.
+Phil X Seeing as the 4th is coming up could you do a jimi hendrix style star spangled banner?! You probably won't see this but it's worth a try...
Danny Pace Didn't he do that with a jazzmaster or jaguar? I feel like it was one of those but, I could be wrong.
Tyler I don't know but I'd gotta look for it now!
god it's in such good shape
This is Backstabbers by The O'Jays on the Backstabbers album from 1972
So it's David Gilmour, the band is PInk Floyd, the song is Another brick in the wall pt. 2 from "The wall" - 1979. (Lick is at 3:24 )

I dont't always watch other dudes play guitar.
But when I do I watch PhilX
Hey, I'm awfully late to this discussion, so have probably missed the window of 10 correct answer. But I see a lot of people talking about Another Brick in the Wall Part II. The lick I heard was from the first solo of Comfortable Numb. For completeness, I will say it was played by David Gilmour on disc 2 of the 1979 Pink Floyd album The Wall.
This f****g awesome bend is from David Gilmour , Pink floyd, album the wall décembre 8 1979 (US date) the song is another brick in the wall in 2 parts! Kiss fretted americana!! Love your videos from France 🇺🇸🇫🇷
The only thing I heard from the lick with the looper that I recognized was the high bend from "Brick in the wall"
What was that two chord progression on the looper? Grooving like a mother!
i think just Dm to Gm.
Love the guitar... Love the player (No homo :$)... one of my favorite UA-cam video
Did you licence your music to West Coast Customs?? I could swear I heard some Drills songs in the shows?
OMG that's so awesome. I FRIGGIN knew it!! I was like... hey that's a Drills song... and another and another. Sweet dude. Get PAID!!
