This incredible guitar weighs just 6.10 lbs. and has a very comfortable nut width of just over 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Reminiscent of the ES-175, with the same sharp-edged single Florentine cutaway and pearl split-parallelogram inlays, this wonderful guitar has a 16-inch-wide laminated maple body, one-piece mahogany neck with a medium to thick profile, and rosewood fretboard with 19 original thin frets and inlaid pearl split-parallelogram position markers. Headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and pearl crown inlay. Two-layer (black on white) plastic truss-rod cover secured by two screws. Individual single-line "no-name" Kluson Deluxe tuners with single-ring Keystone plastic buttons. Two original P-90 pickups with outputs of 7.98k and 9.62k. Cream plastic pickup covers, each secured by two screws. Clear plastic pickguard back-painted in cream and embossed with a gold floral design. Four controls (two volume, two tone) on lower treble bout plus three-way pickup selector switch on upper bass bout. Gold plastic barrel-shaped "speed" knobs (.50 inch tall). Les Paul combination trapeze bridge/tailpiece with strings looping over the bridge. All hardware gold-plated. With the original Gibson white oval label inside the bass f-hole, with the style "ES-295" written in black ink and the serial number "A-16216" stamped in black. Inside the treble f-hole is the FON number "Y6355 20". This guitar is in near mint (9.25) condition, with only the tiniest amount of finish checking and none of the "greening" that always plagues the gold finish on this model. Quite simply the second finest and most original ES-295 we have ever seen or heard of! (we had an equally minty 1952 example which we sold seven years ago). Housed in the original Gibson brown hardshell case with purple plush lining (9.00).
"The ES-295 was introduced in 1952 as the hollow body counterpart of the original Les Paul model. This is true in terms of finish, electronics and hardware, but otherwise the 295 is essentially a fancier twin pickup ES-175…According to factory records, the earliest production 295s (#A10554 and A10555) were registered on 14th May 1952. As mentioned previously, the ES-295 served as the basis for the ES-175D introduced one year later. Conversely, the ES-295 was developed after an all-gold ES-175 (#A9196 registered on 4th December 1951) specially built by Gibson at Les Paul's request and presented by him to a disabled guitarist. At least two other gold-finished 175s were made in early 1952, i.e. #A10137 registered on 3rd April and #A10474 registered on 2nd May, before the first ES-295 came out. The first variant underwent no modifications up to late 1957, other than the installation of a 20-fret fingerboard in 1955 like all the 16-inch wide hollow bodies" (A.R. Duchossoir. Gibson Electrics -- The Classic Years, p.173)
"I don't know any jazz. In know one... and I forgot it." - Phil X.
Awesome.
That guitar through the Marshal is one of the best sounds I've ever had in my ears ever. Ever.
Hair standing up on the back of my neck when the Marshall kicks in. It's like they were made for each other.
John Schwarzkopf update: forgot about this video, came across it again, saw my comment, watched the video, same result.
John Schwarzkopf i love when that happens.
The guitarist from Killing Joke plays this guitar. What an incredible instrument.
😢
Might be the best sounding guitar on FA ever. That clean sound is amazing. Sitting on edge of seat for some OD.
I like it when Phil plays new songs and it's just him.
I literally was like "WHAT?!" when he switched to the Marshall...!
Sound exactly like Geordie Walker
@@thirdeyes9993 it's why I'm here
Phil X is the best thing on TH-cam on Fridays.
Long.. LONG... may it continue... (are you listening Phil?)
Fretted Americana releases a new Phil X video and you can practically hear 50,000 guitar plays shout "YES!" Not to get all Masters Thesis, but for some of us Phil X and Rob Chapman have replaced the TV stars that the giant corporate entertainment goliaths would rather have us watch. Imagine pitching Phil X to a tv executive - "Well, this guy is nuts and he screams his own name a lot, and he plays guitar and sings, and sometimes he messes up the song and laughs, and he swears. I don't get it, but the kids love it." Would. Not. Fly. But I bought a Gibson Les Paul 50s tribute with P90's because of these videos. If I could have cable TV with all channels OR TH-cam, I'd pick TH-cam. Oh, and Phil, thanks for the "erection" line which made me choke on my coffee.
hahahaha. sorry for making you choke.
I would like to add to this with an open letter to Hollywood. Let's begin.
Dear Hollywood, I would rather watch anything, I repeat anything, uploaded by PhilX, Rob Chapman, Tim Pierce, Steel Panther, Dave's World Of Fun, Adam The Woo and a select few additional TH-cam hosts than the vast majority of all your productions combined. You have failed miserably in your attempt to attract my attention, or to entertain, inform and enlighten me.
Signed, a Los Angeles resident
philx1111 probably beats choking on an erection
Who needs a TV?
p.e. i I hope no woman agrees witcha, there!
Phil X is my hero. I look forward to these videos like no other.
I really dig that clean on this guitar!!
Phil never gets old ! I'm always looking forward to fridays !!
One of the best guitars I have ever heard you play Phil!
phil X friday ? the best moment of the week !!!! for sure !!!!
Awesome job on Children of the Sea, too. One of my fave songs of all time.
Thanks for these videos Phil. You've got a lot of talent bud.
Friday entertainment at Its best! Rock on Phil and greetings from Sweden!
もう何回、何百回この動画も観てるけど、フィルはスゲェわ。神やわ。最高‼️
The library of rock and roll in your head never ceases to amaze me. Singing Dio is rough enough but doing it 1/2 step up from the original? Brutal. Killer as usual.
OMG PHIL!
I heard this song back in the late 70's on AM radio and loved it right from the start but never knew who did it until now. I often sang fragments of it in my head over the years but was lost...now I am found! HA!
I fuckin' love this guy, he is awesome and easily my favorite guitar player on TH-cam he always makes the video exciting and I cant wait to watch more!
Goddamnit Phil!! You never cease blowing my mind with that encyclopedic knowledge of every cool song or riff ever freaking written!! When will you ever bring the Drills to Atlanta??
Phil X and these videos are a highlight of life.
HOW CAN YOU NOT LOVE PHIL X.....THIS IS ONE OF HIS BEST VIDS.
that old les paul trapeze bridge/tailpiece looks awesome. sound is unbelievable. it's the p90 growl at its best.
Every week i see your jam sessions and it inspires me to pick up my guitar and Rock! Thanks Phil X, you are CHINGON!!!
Faking through Rock Around the Clock and it sounding good. Well done. And that Marshal sound was entrancing. Something like that.
What a beautiful and well sounding Guitar..
Beautiful guitar!
Every guitar looks cool strapped to the boy X.
I can watch these videos for hours at a time... brilliant talent!
I never knew that guitar could sound so sexy with overdrive but the clean was just even more sexy
Uau, não conhecia essa guitarra, bela guitarra e que belo som.
More ES's!! Yes!!
This guy is surely awesome fuckin musician and demonstrator.
Very cool! Long live Phil X & the Drills!
This guitar probably has one of the best cleans I've heard to date from FrettedAmericana god damnnnnnnn
I love it when Dustin forgets to censor something - 4:32 :-)
joe99173122 So sure I forgot??? ;)
frettedamericana Haha! YES! Let the man swear, Dustin! Our innocent virgin ears can handle it! :-)
+joe99173122 Really getting tired of Canadians coming to America because they can't make their careers successful in Lilleputt Canada. Time for America just to make Canada part of the USA, voluntarily or by force.
idioto
Hahaha . We're totally not interested thanks! And yes your entertainment industry is larger than ours..Bravo! You have become your own reality show!
No outro jam? Could've kicked some serious ass when ripping some Nugent tunes on that one.
Jamming sitting down is not allowed.
MrDroogii Damn.
Except Robert Fripps. He can shred without standing and hanging guitar low.
Wonderful... I know that this may only serve to fuel Phil's ego, but his talent and humour get him through. As a 'guitarist' I watch his videos and laugh and cry in equal amounts.
Thank you Ronny
Phil's always FUN!
I was about to write that I'm surprised how tiny this axe sounded... and then he switched to Marshall... and I'm sitting there just trying to imagine words I could use to describe how amazing that tone was.
We need you back man..
"Look out! Black! Black!" Awesome.
Dang that thing sounds good.
That guitar sounds GOOD!
Sounds AWESOME!!!
Just...WOW!
i dig the new style of the FA/Phil X Videos!!
Brilliant and so entertaining
I like your videos!
Jamming sitting down or standing up, you can jam anyway you want, what ever floats your boat or rocks your socks off :))
Nice Stranglehold .Uncle Ted would be proud.
Great guitar sounds almost like a Byrdlander
Phil X wins the internet with that Children of the Sea ! :)) AWESOME ! even though the lyrics were slightly wrong.
Very tasty playing in the beginning of the vid. Now I get why you were a studio guy. You obviously have mad skills and spent a lot of time in the woodshed practicing and learning more than just riff and shred.
It reminds me of how Roy Clark cut up with the jokes and good playing most of the time but every once in a while he'd get serious and play something that would make everyone set up and recognize how much knowledge and ability he has.
For what it's worth ( which admittedly isn't much) you earned my respect with this one.
Sweet mother lemon. That guitar sounds sweet!
that was perfect nugent tone, man phil x would destroy that thing standing up
I was hoping for some Killing Joke.
Geordie Walker is one of the most underrated guitarists. I'd like to see Phil try playing 'the fall of because' or perhaps 'fire dances'.
Love like Blood would be great or Eighties.
That was great! And you crack me up to!lol
Always enjoy watching Phil!
Dude this made my fucking week thanks a lot, Phil and the guys at frettedamericana!
P-90's and guitar and Phil X...Yeah!!!
Love the tone of both pickups. :D
The Bill Haley bit was brilliant!
Unbelievable tone!
great demonstration of how much the amp is part of your instrument tone...
That was really cool ! Thank you !!
Beautiful sound on the neck p/u!
Don't cry that it's over. Smile that it happened. Nuff said
ROCK ON
I knew KNEW he was going to play Stranglehold. epic
8:55 "..you can't bend..FLAT!" laughed way too much
Phil's so good I can hear the drums when theirs not any drums
I know it's a jazz box, but that thing sounds amazing with distortion!! Great vid.
awesome sheet
A-G-D: The holy grail of rock power chord progressions.
The JMP always sounds amazing, but it really likes this guitar.
Wow. 10:45 blew my mind. This guitar is phenomenal. That marshal is fantastic. Best guitar I've ever heard. Listened to some Phil X Byrdland, SG, Gretsch & Les Paul reviews before this, but this guitar beat them all. Wow.
They also had to string it under the bridge on the first LP's because they didn't get the neck angle right. If you strung it over the bridge on a '52 Paul the strings would be a few miles high over the fretboard from the twelfth fret up.
Thanks again Phil, very entertaining. I always get a good laugh and I am reminded of some great songs when I stop by for a few minutes. I will be checking my inbox for some tickets next time you play in LA ;)... Happy new year!
Massive sound through the Marshall
Man I miss Phil X fridays. Bring him back Fretted Americana... pretty please!
The guitar player on rock around the clock fell of the stairs shortly after the recording and died. He never lived to know the fame of his awesome guitar solo
Yes, Danny Cedrone did die shortly after he recorded "Rock Around The Clock". He had played the same lead on Haley's "Rock This Joint" a few years earlier. I read he was paid $21 dollars. He really was the original "rock shredder". It's sad that he never got to see how many people he influenced through his playing. He was an immense talent.
Another KICK ASS Phil X Friday video! You rock brother! Keep em comin'!
Phil x is such a cool dude haha
You Nailed "Stranglehold"
But with that Axe I would expect "Eighties" by Killing Joke.
Heaven and Hell was such a great album.
Yes!!! Man! Finally, someone got this thAng about P90's and driven marshall! Always knew you know the ways to run the damn show! So happy now! Killer episode! You're the man! :)
Great video!!!!
i loved your guitar cover of the late Ronnie James Dio black sabbath song children of the sea. great work, brought back many memories. thank you
Don't mind the hating Phil 'cause you're awesomeeeee! I loved the sound of the guitar especially when you played Strangledhold. Oh, I haven't heard Children Of The Sea for a long time, thanks for reminding me, you are great! \m/
PURELL!🙌
Omg that sounds amazing.......
Phil rules!
damn Phil. your videos are the highlight of my month. I can't remember the song I learned last year. how the heck do you do it? you are #1 on my "guys to have a beer with".
Dude as always great video, love the Gibson 295, you are so much fun to watch and listen to man. Come back to the UK soon.
The patron saint of "dad rock"
Any way we can see some Phil X action on a 1964 JB Hutto Montgomery Ward Airliner with the Res-O-Glass body?
7:34 Woah. That was some nice sound.
Friggin amazing bro... Wow hey DUSTIN ... Great song choice bud! And Phil you nailed it man. Killer tone. Cheers
