The song sounds familiar almost like the song Spooky which was more or less a cover by Atlanta Rythm Section originally done by the Classic IV with the same guitarist in both bands. Your either reversing the last two notes or playing a different note.

Trogly, just for future reference it's CURE-ESS-OWW. I mean it's possible that I only know that because I proudly said it the way you did to a native once. But hey... Just letting you know. Haha. Love your channel man.
The song is "Spooky" by The Atlanta Rhythm Section with the late great Barry Bailey on lead guitar, more than likely playing his beloved Les Paul during the recording of that cool tune. R.I.P. Barry.
The reason for the 9 hole weight relief is because Frampton’s 54 was exceptionally light…hard to source exceptionally lightweight mahogany for a non limited production.
I got one of these at release - very early serial number. I do have the cream poker chip but only got the brass toggle switch tip. Mine is a fantastic playing and sounding guitar and very happy to have it for about a year now.
A three pickup custom has been a dream of mine since almost I started. Saw Keith's on the Rock & Roll Circus film and adored the look since. Thanks for documenting this one Troggo!

Hello, back in 1975 I bought a '71 triple and turned it into a Frampton clone. The tech at the store showed me the diagram for that wiring, told me I could get "H'bucker strat" tones out of it, so I had it done. Kept it for a year and found I didn't have a use for it, so I sold it like a fool for $550 w/OHSC. Then I saw this and now I'm really kicking myself. Oh well, such is life.
Reminds me of my $500 68 Dodge Coronet 440 story. I sold it for junk because I blew the transmission and couldn't fix it. Today, they sell for upwards of $20,000.
@@timhallas4275 I had a $400 Dodge Charger that I restored in '75. It was a '68 with a hemi, the guy didn't want know what he had. Wish I had that one back for sure.
'Spooky' by the Altanta Rhythm Section is the name of the song, Austin...This is why I don't understand how some put down signature guitars. Most of the time, this is the only way you get special pups, wiring, wood, finshes, etc....Loved this vid! I'd love to see this with gold pup covers!
" Not anything too cool, so dont get your Hope's up." Dang. I kind of figure that's one of the coolest guitar's you have had on the show. The subjective nature of taste. -* was corrected. His comment was in regard to the Factory defects, not the attractive nature of the beautiful instrument*-
The neck was shaved down on Peters and I love mine. The sound combos you can get are amazing. Blending the middle etc. I use to own a 1970 Black and Gold Custom two pickup and I like this Frampton much more and the neck is easier to play.
I just watched the Frampton Phenix video on his channel for the first time. What an awesome story. Gibson really did it right the way they put that guitar back together. It's nice to see how insanely happy he is to have his guitar back. Good feels.
Interesting wiring. I have a '94 Custom which converted to a Steve Clark 3-pickup signature. Was never 100% sure about the way he had his wiring on that particular guitar, but it's set up with a master tone and 3 individual volumes. It was a dream project of mine which I was super happy to have finally achieved.
Uh-huh, the 'mystery riff' your were playing sounds like 'Spooky' by a group called Classics Four. The ARS DOES do a fabulous cover version of the song I will admit, but Classics Four recorded and released the original version! A great song to cruise to in a classic car with the ragtop down on a warm summer evening...
I'm sure this guitar was bought by Trogly from Gibson, but is it common for the new center pickup 6:28 to have a ripped label on it's underside? It also had no shielding paint. Did they model it exactly after Peter's original and resliced it exactly while leaving the cream colored poker chip off? I'm overthinking in circles, it appears.
Evening Austin! I look forward to ending my day relaxing watching your video. I hope your day went well! I'm happy to see your resurgence of interesting in playing the guitar, you said you wanted to begin improving your skills but I have to laugh, you sound great to me but I am such a terrible rookie. I enjoy listening to you play!
Seems like just wiring a volume pot and neck+bridge and have another volume pot for the middle pickup. Then you can get middle only by just turning down the neck+bridge volume.
Treddart is correct about the weight relief. Without access to Honduran Mahogany it's the only way to get the weight ight. I don't know about yours, but mine had the Ace wiring before I had it converted to Frampton wiring. You could only get the bridge and middle pickup in the middle position. There was no way to get the bridge and neck together, which is why I had it done. But it's a '76. I guess it like you said now. But I'm thinking of adding a phase reverse to the middle knob.
I’ve got a 2016 PF that I bought used and I’m just slightly obsessed with them after having it now for a year or two. I’m surprised at how chunky the neck is on this one that you have. Mine is considerably thinner I believe but now I’m going to have to measure it.
My dads friend got one of these , got to play it last weekend. Pretty slick guitar but the middle pickup gets in the way of the pick/ my fingers when playing
I’ve got the Epiphone 61 Les Paul Custom (SG shape) with 3 pickups & a Burny 3 pickup Jimmy Page Black Beauty Les Paul, I keep the middle pickups set a bit lower to avoid that problem, works for me!
So, you’d said the middle position is typically the bridge and the bottom position is typically both the bridge and middle pickup and I believe you misspoke as you’ve said it correctly in the past. My R7 Custom 3 pickup is wired with the top being the neck pickup, middle being both middle and bridge pickups and the bottom position being just the bridge pickup. Also, something I’ve never seen you comment on is the differences between guitars wired with PIO(paper in oil) caps like the bumblebees in this one vs those wired with the ceramic disk caps like the modern Customs.
Too many versions of this guitar around even though I love the history and look that id ever invest in one. And the middle pickup is just in the way for me to play just like the ace frehley ones
As you say 3 pickup customs do have a unique sound. And this set up is the only factory wiring apart from the late 50s Switchmaster ones that allow you to get all those different combinations. Definitely this wiring (how Frampton's original was wired when he got it btw) has given Frampton his individual sound on those classic 70s recordings.
I'm gonna guess that the reason the middle only "position" sounds different with the flicking of the toggle switch has to do with the polarity of the pickups. Since it would be in phase, out of phase, or both, it would change the sound regardless if the other pickups were active.
I just recently bought a 1968 Les Paul custom reissue from the reverb demo shop for 4k shipped. I wanted the guitar regardless but just was wondering if it was a smart buy?
Nope! There is video of frampton playing his 54 les Paul custom with humble pie with the staple pickups. Then again, with humble pie he’s got it switched over to humbuckers. Then by the time he went solo. He had the middle routed out for the middle and third pickup.
Nope what? He had Les Pauls and SG's plus many more, way before Mark Mariano gifted him his modded 54. Keep in mind that Peter Frampton was guitarist/vocalist with The Herd from 67 on, he was only 16 at the time. Where did you get that bollocks story from? lol
I find Custom's frets hard to play. I have 2, and both have those wider and lower frets that just feel wrong to my fingers used to taller and narrower frets.
Very good point. I have always wondered why the pickup plastic rings are so white on my Phenix … haha … Gibson even tarnished the gold hardware for vintage look.
Hey man, love the content. You’re videos are sort of my after work night cap I guess you could say. Yet I do have a suggestion.

If anyone has any experience with the Bluesbreaker pedal, any of them actually, please let me know how it compares to the real amp in sound. I'm running into a Peavey Classic 30 or a Katana, depending on the gig, but I'd love to find that Bluesbreaker sound in a pedal. Thank you hivemind, in advance.
It sounds nothing like the amp, sorry. I was very disappointed when I first started using it, BUT, when you get over the initial hurt, you'll find that it is a great drive/OD for a warm Strat sound. It has been my favorite first drive for a lot of years. It is very nice for Rhythm with a little drive on top, and all-nighter ;-)
@@christianboddum8783 Sounds just about my speed actually. I usually think amps sound best when they're just at the point of overdriving. Thanks for the information. I appreciate you. I currently get my tone from a Wampler Plexi Drive, and that's about as close to a 'Marshall tone' as I've found. I'll have to keep looking for the real Bluesbreaker sound. Unless I someday trip over a pile of money and can buy the real thing. I hope you have a great day.
I know there’s some historical precedence for using bumble bee caps in Gibson guitars, but I’m skeptical of the actual utility of sticking a 400V cap in a circuit that will hardly ever see anything over 1V.
It's been a long time since the last time I took ownership of a brand new electric guitar. It's better when they already are broken in. I also don't mind blemishes comment, because it's further proof that a preowned guitar has history. Not sure I would want a Peter Frampton model like this one (no fan of signature stuff), but I definitely would choose to take Trogly's advice and get a used model. I've been so used to thinking that the middle pickup on a model like this couldn't possibly hold a candle to single coil ones. I don't mind being shown that I'm mistaken though.
I'm glad I demo'd this guitar as this wiring scheme is a bit different than the normal two you typically see for 3 pup Gibsons!

"Lightweight" mahogany is from very old trees (70+ years), not many of those around today. If they did get it, I'm sure it would be 5 times the price.
