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).
I love this man’s guitar playing and vibe
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
"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!
Heh heh, 2024 here…😉
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?
The perfect way to start the Weekend? Watching Phil X! Awesome every week
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.
You Phil. Loved the Guess Who riffin. I remember learning that stuff in the basement back in 1973 along with Nashville Sneakers.
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.
P90's! What cleans! what growl! what versatility! Why aren't they more popular than standard singles and humbuckers? Hail a P90 revolution!
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.
Greatest Phil X vid in a long time. Dig that heavy tone from the Les Paul and the Evil Robot.
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
P-90's don't get enough love
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
Miss you so much 💔🙁🙁🙁💔😜
When I'm 40 I want to enjoy life just like this guy: Like a 18 yrs old guy with a new guitar.
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
I honestly believe this is one of the best sounding guitars I've ever heard from frettedamericana
AWESOME! PHIL JUST KEEPS GETTIN' BETTER. THAT GUIT SOUNDS AMAZING.
Hell yeah! Thanks for the request Phil!
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
I always come prepared and watch while I play. :)
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
Thanks for 'Neon Kinghts' - I still have my original 45 of this song!
What's the name of the last song? Around 11:30 ?
Nice to see u again in the shop!
Sounds AMAZING!!!
This guitar sounds so awesome great video
It's Octave day!
ocTAVE
@frettedamericana is this guitar still available? I know that might be a stretch but thought I would ask. thanks
The Sabbath riff sounds so good. Those p90's truly rock!!
Dude, those P-90s are hot!!
slick edit at 11:56! loved all the Sabbath stuff and Unchained was awesome too! Phil was really feeling it on this day!
This is probably my favourite phil X video together with the Gretsch acoustic video!
This is such a great video thanks Phil break on through man
If you're asking about what he plays around the 5 minute mark it's "A national acrobat" by Black Sabbath.
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.
Amazing sound
This was the best review yet! That les sounds killer! Phil is the best!
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 :)
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
He is really a good entertainer and guitarist.
my PHIL PHIX lovin every minute of it...come to Louisiana man!!!!!
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.
his tone... i want it.. i want it now!!!!
Congrats on 25 MILLION VIEWS!
The best lp sound Ive ever heard
Phil, you make my day better, thanks, that Neon Knights was *bark* perfect!
VH change sounded soo good with out flange effect
Hi, what mic do you guys use to capture the amp sound?
It sounds really organic (specially when clean) for a TH-cam video. That with Phil's mic capturing his hard picking makes the recording sound really amazing.
Cheers!
Neon Knights!!!! I figured the lyrics somehow through the awesome tone :D hahaha
That's one of the best sounding guitars i've heard.
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.
Hey Fretted Americana, can you please do the Billy Bo and some ZZ Top? Thanks anyway for the videos.
Are the p-90 stock? This isn't a deluxe with the mini humbuckers removed right?
Phil, what is the BEST guitar you've ever played, in your opinion?
what's the riff at 2:50? thanks! always discovering new songs with Phil.
... Oh man... the guitar is sick..!!
These days I tend to listen to Sabbath less than I used to because I get my fill with these videos
awwwwwwwsome phill, you make me wanna learn guitar!!!!!!!
Do you have the George Harrison Gretsch copy at fretted americana?
Around 11:30 is Neon Knights by Slack Babbath
makes my day every time a video is uploaded! great video - phil you fucking rock!!
Kinda random but what tubing Is Runnin With the Devil actually in? Half step down?
is it me or did you have the OD pedal on the whole time? (not that that's a bad thing)
There is only one Phil X...just great! Phil smokes this '69 LP GT...very nice!
Wait .. the B String trick at 7.20 ? I had no clue ... learned something new today. Thanks Phil.
which gauge/guitar setup works for a les paul with C# tuning?
@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
Drop c# is the tune I use for most of my songs... and I´m happy phil plays it :D
Gosh. He nailed that EVH tone.
aww man i wanted to join phil at camp rock but i'm to old. this guitar is so HAM
My day is really kickass now!
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/
Every day is octave day for Phil.
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!:)
Is that riff from 2:47 from a song or just made up?
This is a seriously goood guitar, sounds amazing! Phil on eXtra fire!
7:37 Van Halen - Unchained
Might be the greatest guitar I've ever heard.
What's that riff he played at 4.20? Which song did it come from?
PD: could be really cool if when phil plays a song you put the title and the performer in the description, in that way you won't get so many answer for the name of the songs
What a great way to start my friday! :)
I think this the best sounding guitar they did!
Have to agree. Always come back to this video.
That Billy-Bo is still peeking out at us... :D
Yo Phil what did you use in your hair in the flippin out video it's pretty sick dude lol
i often dig songs played by phil x more than the original, same here
that tuner has been through the wars
Andrew was pointing out that F and E# are the same thing (enharmonic). I don't think he was speaking of their FUNCTION. The OP asked how to tune down to drop C#, to which robolew correctly replied to tune down a half step/tone. Gibbs apparently had a problem calling it a half tone instead of half step. I merely pointed out the two terms are interchangeable. The only syntax mistake robolew made was he should have said to tune the low string down an ADDITIONAL whole step to C#.
That's a hell of guitar for its price. It's beating some Standards. Really, really awesome guitar. Visit the oficial website and look at the comments and rating. Are you begginer?
Hey there's a Gold explorer on your website could you do a review of it? or the natural 3 piece top Les Paul both of those guitars look amazing and frankly I will own one of them someday so I would love you to do a review :L
He sounds fucking fantastic with the evil robot
Sure have a lot of love for the Guess Who :P
Bravo....super kick-ass!
Whats the name of the song with the riff at 2.47???
why does this matter at all?? just curious.
what an awesome way to end my thursday!
EPIC TONE
