Phil X Needs 4 arms! Gibson Double Neck EBS-1250
Вставка
- Опубліковано 12 вер 2024
- This custom-built double-neck (conventional six-string neck in the lower position combined with a four-string bass) weighs just 10.50 lbs. Both necks have a nut width of 1 9/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches and both have a quite thick neck profile. Solid mahogany body with bevelled edge (16 1/2 inches wide and 1 3/8 inches deep), two one-piece mahogany necks, and bound rosewood fretboards. The conventional guitar and the twelve-string necks have 20 jumbo frets and inlaid pearl split-parallelogram position markers. Each headstock with "Gibson" logo inlaid in pearl and two-layer (black on white) truss-rod covers with "Custom" engraved in white. Serial number ("849036") impressed into the back of the headstock of the Twelve-String guitar. Individual Kluson Deluxe 'double-line' tuners with double-ring Keystone plastic buttons and "D-169400 / Patent No." stamped on the undrside. Four "patent-number" humbucker pickups. Each pickup with a black label ("Patent No. 2,737,842") on the underside and with outputs of 7.40k and 7.53k on the six-string guitar and outputs of 7.49k and 8.61k on the twelve-string guitar. Black plastic pickup rings. The pots are dated "137 66XX" (CTS 1966). Two five-layer(black / white / black / white / black) plastic pickguards with bevelled edges, the one on the six-string guitar side with seven screws, the one in the middle with eight screws. Each of the pickguards engraved in white with 'Humming Birds and Flowers'. Four controls (one volume and one tone for the two pickups of the conventional guitar and one volume and one tone for the the two pickups on the twelve-string guitar) plus a three-way pickup selector switch for both of the necks in the center of the guitar and a three-way neck selector switch on the treble horn of the pickguard of the conventional guitar. Gold plastic bell-shaped with metal top knobs. Each guitar with Gibson "patent-number" Tune-O-Matic retainer bridge, both with nylon saddles. Maestro vibrato tailpiece with 'Walrus Tooth' arm and three screws on the six-string guitar and a non-adjustable bar tailpiece with three screws on the twelve string guitar. The original strap buttons are positioned on the heel of the twelve-string guitar and on the lower edge. This guitar is in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition. When we took the guitar apart we noticed that under the Maestro Vibrato tailpiece there were three additional screw holes where it is evident that this custom built guitar had been pre-drilled for the standard non adjustable bar tailpiece usually found on EDS-1275's. We have absolutely no doubt that the Maestro Vibrato was fitted at the time of production in 1966. There is a miniscule amount of belt buckle wear on the back (nothing through to the wood and also a mark on the back where the guitar has probably sat for an extended period on a guitar strap in the case. There is some fine checking on the top and a few small and insignificant surface marks on the edges. With all that said, this great rarity - the first mid-sixties EDS-1275 that we have ever seen, is in exceptionally fine (9.00) condition. Housed in the original Gibson black rectangular hardshell case with yellow/orange plush lining (9.00). This guitar at 10.50 pounds is considerably lighter that the three other EDS-1275's that we have handled (1958: 11.80 lbs; 1975: 12.60 lbs; 1975 11.20 lbs).
Phil X's new solo career will be announced tomorrow. The album will feature Phil on Bass, Guitar, Vocals and the Foot drums.
joe boxer Phil's always been a one man show haha.
MyworstEnemy True, haha
+Guitars 77 I'm guessing the death of music will be announced tomorrow then.
Great work on hammering through running with the devil until you got it. That's why you're Phil X and I'm on the couch watching you. LOL.
Greg's Garage Hilarious! Hahaha
Right now, Phil is one of the best rock guitarists out there. This video is an informal jam with lots of screw ups because he's just effing around... but whether he's screwing around or serious in the studio, Phil's personality comes through in his playing always, and his personality is HUGE. Keep your legato billion miles an hour showoffs - I'll take Phil X and a beer over that any day.
I like Satriani. I've seen him live twice. But I'd rather see The Drills. :)
+thehomefront LMFAO
+budgetguitarist.com I also love the fact that he pays no big mind to making mistakes. Its normal and natural to make mistakes and it's also a true testament to how humble, experienced and a master he is when he allows himself to try insane things (like singing and playing both the guitar and bass), making mistakes along the way until he finally cracks it, and all along with a huge smile in his face!
I think he's straight, with a wife.... you can't have him with a beer.
I cant believe hes 50 YEARS OLD!!!!
right!!!
+LordRiyami really?
What? WHAT?!?!? He's 50?!? He looks 30! Wow he's been aging great!
him and Star Trek.
Old guys rule! PX rules the strings!
Phil's playing isn't always the most precise or the most complex, but when he plays, he plays like he means it, which makes it sound so much better!
I absolutely loved this demo. Phil X has such an authentic love and ultra fan enthusiasm for music, he's very genuine.
Ernest Eison ernest speaks fer troofths
I love the energy of this man! :D
Phil X. What can one say about you? Well, the one and only thing that exceeds your shotgun-in-the-face personality and positive attitude is your skill and ability on the fretboard. You are truly a one of a kind dude(and guitar player). Thank you for the great videos.
I picked up the Agile version of this and it kicks serious ass. As a rule I watch this at least once a week because I love seeing it played and I mean its Phil X so yeah
Great video! Thanks for posting it. I subscribed at Dazed and Confused LOL And then you came in with Wrathchild and took it too a whole new level of kick ass!
Nothing better than someone doing what they love and sharing it, I could watch these demos all day
Oh man, Phil, this is better than great! This is excellent. The choice of tunes and licks is top notch classic rock. My youth recapped in 1 video!
Phil at his best, warts and all.
This is what, well to me anyway, makes him human. It bridges the gap between us mortals and the gods of guitar, yes he's brilliant but you can watch this and see why he's brilliant, PRACTICE, PRACTICE, PRACTICE!!!
...one more thing Phil, FUCK ME YOUR VOCALS ARE GOOD.
thx man. for all of the above
philx1111 hey Phil have you checked out the tone city sweet cream pedal? You may dig it...:-)
love Alice Cooper, played guitar along with Phil during "I'm Eighteen" and "School's Out"...
Favourite Phil moments are when he's playing and looks super excited at the camera like he doesn't know he was able to do what he just played!
Man didn’t realise how good his voice was. Wish he had a loop pedal to make it even more kick ass🔥
High energy Phil is back. He must have got some sleep.
I absolutely love how much fun Phil is having
Phil's facial expressions are the highlight of every video.
Your David Lee Roth is better than david lee roth lol
Evan Tisby have you heard Michael Starr from Steel Panther? His David Lee Roth is better than David Lee Roth too.
@@IronOrePickaxe Captain Kangaroo is better than DLR 😹
Hey man thats a kickass double neck, love what you did around 3:30 when you played the bass string and guit at the same time just awesome. Keep on shreddin dude
Love how he played so many classic riffs and songs! U GO PHIL
PHIL X! WE CANT WAIT FOR THE NEW DRILLS! THAT INTRO SONG IS ABSOLUTELY KILLER!
Come back Phil, we need you !!!!!
Just watching this dude dink around with guitars is awesome. If any other channel host didn't take their videos seriously, they'd fail. But Phil X kills it... even when he doesn't.
Can't tell you how much I enjoy these vids, Phil. You're an epic guitar player and a hilarious dude! Canadians represent!
Phil X Friday what a great performance this day, thanks for being you :)
This was one of the best episodes in a while! Have a kickass weekend!
Up next: Geddy Lee style double neck Rickenbacker!
Sadly Phil didnt do any Darediablo(anyone heard of them?)
Phil X, I love the energy. Rock on, all day, all night, and all of the time !!!
All you need is a guitar and bass amp with a good ABY box. Super cool stuff!
I love seeing Phil just have fun. You could really tell the challenge of playing Running with the Devil was a challenge and thus totally fun for him.
“ That’s tiring” I didn’t think Phil could ever get tired. 😹
Phil X: Thanks for the little Bring It On Home!! Excellent stuff!!!
Phil X..."Did i say i fucking love fuzz bass?? Lets go into the Friedman!"" I freakin love this guy!
Dude I can't even play guitar/bass, and sing at the same time... I don't think I can even play and chew gum at the same time... You do at least 2 to 4 of those things all the time like a LEGEND. LOVE YOU PHIL!!!!!
Love when Phil X is in this mood XD
this has to be why UA-cam was created. they had to know Phil would make these videos. how did they know??????!!!!!!!! Love it
Man I would love to meet someone like him as happy as you can be and invite him back to my studio
Phil's such a great singer too!
Damn I miss Phil X doing these videos so bad. He’s always such a good fuckin time man
Miss me some Phil X! That guy has energy for days!
this is the funnest video on UA-cam! I wish you were my neighbor!
Phil's the man! He rips and has a killer taste in music!
Next time you demo something like this please do the session with the trio with phil and daniel trading bass solos!! That would be insane
COOLEST double neck ever!!!!
Phil is one great guitarrist... like your performances
Loving the Dazed and Confused man!!! So freaking cool!!
Dustin "singing" never fails to make me chuckle :)
Love the song choices on this video! Rock on Phil X \m/
I got to meet Fish and talk about the new line of Yamahas; would love to see some of them, especially the Pacificas! He had a lot of good stuff to say about you haha.
Saw` Elvis playing one in the beginning of the movie Roustabout!'64-'66 era. He went by the name Charlie Rogers,what a memory lol! Like Ricky Nelson! Did you know you could look up an actor's credits and check mention of an instrument used during filming! I did that for an amp,and guitar used by Scotty Moore and a special tape echo built into an amp also used by Les Paul himself!
every time i listen to Phil X he reminds me of songs I haven't heard in awhile, fucking awesome
Sweet double neck Gibson! Dude that was an amazing show keep tearing it up brother!!! 😆🤘🎸
If I won the lotto, I would buy this in a heartbeat *_*
Sidenote: LOVED hearing NIB at the start! That's my favourite Sabbath tune!
Phil, you are one of a kind, but this one really cracked me up.
Awesome dude!
I've seen enough of these that I am pretty sure Phil could play a broom and it would entertain.
Great demo as always, Phil. Just a word of caution from a bass player who plays "guitar amps"... That "Fuzz" you're saying is actually the cone of your speaker about to break, I wouldn't recommend playing bass thru guitar voiced speakers(Amps are fine ;), especially the giant neck pickup of gibsons (So called mudbuckers)... These will blow your speakers anytime, guaranteed... Good vibes
That scream on "Runnin with the Devil" was pretty good!
Awesome riffs! Nice job Phil!
a very entertaining video on a nearly unusable instrument lol.
mindbodylightsound10 I think Chicagomusicexchange did a review but with a looper.
mindbodylightsound10 two words. loop pedal.
i'm not sure what they had in mind when they made this instrument, but i know loops pedals certainly didn't exist then!
If you had a loop pedal you'd probably get more use outta this I imagine
mindbodylightsound10 loop pedals existed then
should've used a loop pedal for basslines!
temporaryfailure4444 thats what i said a couple weeks ago
Where's the challenge in that? Anyone who knows Phil X knows that he loves to challenge himself
Day made. Two of these and a bass guy that can play guitar would make for great lick-trading fun.
Phil x - better than berocca - a human serum to cure a dark day - PX you are THE man
Best video of all time! I laughed with Phil trying to play Bass and Guitar at the same time!!! Hahaha so good
Hot damn, Phil is killing like usual.
I've used my Gibson 1250 since early seventies. It was built in the sixties and I still use it a couple of times a week. Unusable? Impractical? Hardly! I bought it from Maurice Gibb (see this axe on BeeGees vid doing "World") and it's still a hugely versatile instrument. Easy to switch necks and a simple A/B redirects to other amp system when needed. Mind you, it's no guitar for wimps... But I'm a very fit seventy-plus year old.
Thanks for that interesting choice of instrument! I got a kickass day!
philx1111 Hey Phil (folks at FA) caught a clip from way back where Phil was doing a brief demo of an old Gibson acoustic and played just a quick intro to Diary Of A Madman. Any chance Phil can take us further into this Randy classic sometime? Rock and Roll bae-bee!
God damn! You are so talented!!!Wish some day i could be as good as you...Keep on rockin` \m/
Watching this man try to play a double necked guitar is the most entertaining thing on the planet
HUGE Goro vibes when he starts that riff at 3:25 lol. Could have sworn he had 4 arms for a second.
I thought I detected a bit of a Canadian accent. Phil you crazy American/Canadian/Greek guy. Good stuff!
You´re amazing bro..!
It sounds very good, The bass, The riffs und your voice ....!!
You need a loop station pedal to make a good perform!!
Saludos desde México
The ominous music with Phil creeping up in the intro was hilarious
Entertaining as always Phil, thanks man I really needed a good laugh today.
Video is very sharp and clear, new HD camera ?
Phil....YOU ARE THE FUCKING MAN !!!!
MUCH RESPECT BROTHER !!!!
I was waiting to hear runnin with the devil since he got the bass and the guitar and he did it! That was entertaining to watch
I want one of those as my first instrument...
I didnt know they made these but if I had the money I'd probably buy one.
+TheIcefreeze I remember Gibson double neck were almost custom made (or made to spec that customers specified) so there should be lots of 12 string/6 string one with weird wiring or something like this (bass/6 string guitar).
vintage Gibson pickups are nice!
More Runnin With the Devil! Phil should have a VH tribute band and sing, play bass and guitar on a double or triple neck, and he'd be set
A collaboration with fellow Canadians, Walk Off The Earth. Shredding it up on a uke. That would be something to see.
hi phil keep up the fab work xx
As ALWAYS...you ROCK!!
Beautiful Colour
That's some of the most entertaining shit I've ever seen. I see an opening act for Buckethead.
Give this man a piece of yarn and a shoebox, and he'll make it sound like VH and Jimmy Page had a solo duet.
You re the man dude! love you!
Was that Wrathchild by Iron Maiden when you were showing off the bass pickups?
Now that's old school Maiden Phil, love it!
Can you have any more fun then this . Love me some Phil X.
Phil, you're the best.
No one should have this much power in their hands...
12:12 to 12:29 is priceless...... or as Phil X would say: P-R-I-C-E-L-E-S-S!!
Is time to someone gives a TV show to you Phill !! You absent to be a great musician , you´re hilarious !!! Thanks a lot for your videos !
Phil X is like the guy every all-around guitar player wants to be.
Phil X and show!! 🤘🤘
that guitar would be super nice to use live
GIMME ANOTHER ALBUM PHIL!!
