An Exceptional January 1969 Les Paul Standard GoldTop With P-90s.
This January 1969 Les Paul Standard weighs 9.40 lbs. and has very fat nut width of just over 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Solid one-piece mahogany body with single cream binding and maple top with gold finish. One-piece mahogany neck with a huge profile, the early long tenon neck joint but with the wider headstock. Rosewood fretboard with 22 original jumbo frets and inlaid pearl trapezoid position markers. Headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and gold silk-screened "Les Paul Model." Individual Kluson Deluxe 'double-line' tuners with double-ring Keystone plastic buttons and "D-169400 / Patent No." stamped inside. Serial number "540878" stamped into the back of the headstock. Single-layer black plastic truss-rod cover with two screws. Two P-90 pickups with really hot outputs of 7.74k and 8.11k. Cream plastic pickguard. Four controls (two volume, two tone) on lower treble bout plus three-way selector switch on upper bass bout. Gold plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. Gibson Tune-O-Matic retainer bridge with metal saddles and separate stud tailpiece. The pots are stamped: "137 6850" (CTS last week of December 1968) and the two capacitors are the black cylindrical Sprague "Black Beauty" type. This is one of the earliest 68/69 GoldTops with a typical '59 Les Paul neck that is to die for! There are two small surface marks on the top just to the treble-side of the lower strap-pin and a few small 'dings'/marks on the edges. Overall this wonderful forty-two year old Les Paul Standard is in exceptionally fine condition (9.00) condition. Complete with the original Gibson 22 page hang-tag booklet. Housed in the original Gibson three-latch black rectangular (rounded corners) hardshell case with pale orange plush lining (9.00).
Man, I've never seen anyone who can play both guitar parts to "Acrobat" on the same guitar at the same time. That's incredible! I'm nearly sure that higher part is dubbed in on the original.
Miss him loooooadz
I literally come back to this video on a regular basis for this sole reason. I just realized tho it’s because he had the Guitar in drop C sharp as opposed to C sharp standard like the original. So it’s easier to play the octaves. Still very cool and impressive. I love phil
Yeah I learned how to play both parts to the song by watching his hands in this video, it's actually how I discovered the song
He started playing the riff and I thought
"Fuck me that is fuuuuuuucking sick"
So happy and grateful to Phil x whenever I play thos riff
And I think you're right it sounds like an over dub in the studio track
I love this man’s guitar playing and vibe
"lets use it before it dies", lol, .... Phil, guitar & p-90 Rock!. ..... timeless
I can really appreciate Phil's ability to sing and play Unchained.
was this in 2012? Really? man how times flies. I always loved Phill, and sometimes, a guy like me just want to listen to Phill play an awesome Les Paul.
oh and...''sounds like a 45 played at 33...'' the internet thinks:....crikets....cricket sounds....crickets sound....
like 4% of the audience has an idea of what Phill is talking about.
Records kids!...Records!...
Love ya Phill, hope all is well.
yeah what was he talking about there? :D 45 played at 3?
oh he's talking about records, never mind!
P90's! What cleans! what growl! what versatility! Why aren't they more popular than standard singles and humbuckers? Hail a P90 revolution!
This is the second version with the wider headstock, the first model in 68 had the normal Les Paul shape but shallower headstock angle. this one has that too, gotta say it sounds sweet.
yo man, you gotta remember when we shoot a vid, we shoot 8-10 in a day. that means vids for 8-10 weeks meaning nothing's going to change in 8-10 weeks so have a little patience. also.... why we can't turn up my lavalier mic when i'm singing is 'cause the ER was so loud, it got recorded onto that mic so when my voice got turned up so did the not so pleasant lavalier recording of the ER 4 feet away. all this will be resolved for the next batch probably in 4 weeks. thanks for all the comments.
This guy is amazing. It's amazing how well he plays. He kids a lot and you might not think he's gonna break into songs like he does, but when he does I'm impressed. How about you?
You Phil. Loved the Guess Who riffin. I remember learning that stuff in the basement back in 1973 along with Nashville Sneakers.
P-90's don't get enough love
Greatest Phil X vid in a long time. Dig that heavy tone from the Les Paul and the Evil Robot.
When I'm 40 I want to enjoy life just like this guy: Like a 18 yrs old guy with a new guitar.
It's Octave day!
ocTAVE
This was how i get to know about Phil X back in those days still a fan
Hes one of the most enterteining guys ever and a beast of guitar player
First: This guitar sounds just amazing, I'm not a fan of P-90s, but these sound awesome
Second: Every time I watch one of Phils videos I get a huge urge for playing, it's just that his energy and playing is really inspiring.
And now I find myself in a dilemma, study for tests or rock out? I think I'll go with the second :D
Thank you Phil, for making my day....again. No matter how shyte things go at work, whenever I watch one of your videos I'm back on track and ready to rock! Greetings from SA.
I honestly believe this is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard from frettedamericana
Every day is octave day for Phil.
Thanks for 'Neon Kinghts' - I still have my original 45 of this song!
He sounds fucking fantastic with the evil robot
The perfect way to start the Weekend? Watching Phil X! Awesome every week
Sounds AMAZING!!!
AWESOME! PHIL JUST KEEPS GETTIN' BETTER. THAT GUIT SOUNDS AMAZING.
his tone... i want it.. i want it now!!!!
Hell yeah! Thanks for the request Phil!
I always come prepared and watch while I play. :)
This guitar sounds so awesome great video
Nice to see u again in the shop!
that tuner has been through the wars
I love you're videos and adore Phil watched for over a year now, but i miss the old camera angle i got so use to i lol can we have it back pleasseee rock on guys
If you're asking about what he plays around the 5 minute mark it's "A national acrobat" by Black Sabbath.
... Oh man... the guitar is sick..!!
My day is really kickass now!
Congrats on 25 MILLION VIEWS!
i just noticed it too, the other angle is better, you get to see more, it makes phil look cooler as you can see him properly rockin out, instead of just like seein the guitar and his face lol, and then theres the way the light catches the guitar, it was so much better :)
Amazing sound
The Sabbath riff sounds so good. Those p90's truly rock!!
This is such a great video thanks Phil break on through man
Phil sounded excited today
Those that pick up a guitar and try to copy Phil playing Sabbath 'National Acrobat' will realise the trickiness of the unequal 2-guitar-part-harmony-interval-spacing - Top-Phil-X-Respect! :D
DAMN Phil can fucking JAM that Sabbath!
Neon Knights!!!! I figured the lyrics somehow through the awesome tone :D hahaha
Around 11:30 is Neon Knights by Slack Babbath
This was the best review yet! That les sounds killer! Phil is the best!
Best FA vid in ages!!!!
what an awesome way to end my thursday!
Aaaahhhh....January 1969........pretty historic month........Beatles fans will know
This is my favorite guitar i think, out of all the fretted americana vidoes! Such an awesome sound from the amp and P-90s :P
In 1980, I purchased one of these. 1 piece mahogany back, chunky 1 piece mahogany neck. The finish on the face had been removed and left natural. The saddles were nylon. The machines had been swapped out for an old set of grovers. It was my first les paul. I paid the full asking price of $250.00. The only part of it that I still have is the lightweight tailpiece, that I now have on my 1973 goldtop deluxe.
+telecasterbear why'd you sell it?
+GreekGuru74 I was paying off bills and getting ready to buy our first house. the house is now paid for, and I have a very nice 73 gold top.
Miss you so much 💔🙁🙁🙁💔😜
He is really a good entertainer and guitarist.
Gosh. He nailed that EVH tone.
I'm glad I bought a Tribute 60's!
Phil, I get into a great mood listening to you and your crazy shit. It's dialed in. You rocked that gold top in drop C. Never seice to amaze me with your riffs and selection of songs. Take care until next time
aww man i wanted to join phil at camp rock but i'm to old. this guitar is so HAM
VH change sounded soo good with out flange effect
Bravo....super kick-ass!
slick edit at 11:56! loved all the Sabbath stuff and Unchained was awesome too! Phil was really feeling it on this day!
Phil is playing the Hot Water Heater blues!
Best sounding Fretted Americana demo to date!
The tone is so fat, yet it's still very crunchy.
Loving the tunes too! Picked up my guitar and started playing some Sabbath myself.
The best lp sound Ive ever heard
WOOH. i am so ready for that.
That Billy-Bo is still peeking out at us... :D
Phil, you make my day better, thanks, that Neon Knights was *bark* perfect!
That's one of the best sounding guitars i've heard.
EPIC TONE
That guitar sounds fucking unbelievable
my PHIL PHIX lovin every minute of it...come to Louisiana man!!!!!
This is probably my favourite phil X video together with the Gretsch acoustic video!
These days I tend to listen to Sabbath less than I used to because I get my fill with these videos
There is only one Phil X...just great! Phil smokes this '69 LP GT...very nice!
awwwwwwwsome phill, you make me wanna learn guitar!!!!!!!
makes my day every time a video is uploaded! great video - phil you fucking rock!!
Nicest les paul I have ever heard.
Drop c# is the tune I use for most of my songs... and I´m happy phil plays it :D
What a great way to start my friday! :)
This is a seriously goood guitar, sounds amazing! Phil on eXtra fire!
Might be the greatest guitar I've ever heard.
7:37 Van Halen - Unchained
"I smell something burning, I think it's the Vox".
I think this the best sounding guitar they did!
Have to agree. Always come back to this video.
i often dig songs played by phil x more than the original, same here
Dude, those P-90s are hot!!
Simply the best Phil X Video Yet! Love the Sabbath and the Van Halen! I now have a new love tor the drop C Sharp! Keep rockin' Phil! Your the bestest!:)
i love it that i laugh my arse off and watch a decent guitar review at the same time
This *bark* just makes me happy when I watch it.
Phil is crazy but I love him!
perfect EVH tone
thanks for the Neon Knights moment! I needed that!
Wait .. the B String trick at 7.20 ? I had no clue ... learned something new today. Thanks Phil.
That's a meaty sounding guitar.
Oh yeah, I forgot about that one. I've seen it on the Fretted Americana website. A really crazy piece of history! They definitely SHOULD do a video of that.
Neon Knights!!!!! You're a god PhilX, you really are.
This is one of the best fretted americana videos ever. Do more videos like this, and by that I mean rock harder, do more heavy stuff! You guys have been neglecting that part of rock music in your last videos. I do wanna hear Sabbath on Fender Mustang, just because I'm interested in how it would sound like :D... Anyway, I love you guys, rock on \m/
r.i.p old angle
Sure have a lot of love for the Guess Who :P
really.... i can´t tell the difference in the tone, between eddie and phil. it´s all in the fingers... well done phil
@rlowe97 The deluxe started in 69 the p90 standard was stopped in 70 and in 71 Gibson released a 54 reissue called the standard 58
The evil robot sounded HUGE at the beginning there.
