A New Guitar Day For My Anniversary Present

[@JohannesLabusch]

"I had a nightmare that my wife sold my guitars for what I told her they're worth."

[@PhillipMcKnight]

I told my wife which guitar I wanted to be burred with and she told me that all will get sold. lol

[@JohannesLabusch]

Only one way to keep that from happening: Grasp on to it real tight and hope that rigor mortis sets in before they can prey it away. Wow. This took a dark turn quickly.

[@JohannesLabusch]

[@TheStrataminor]

hahaha....ohhh so true...or "I swapped it for this or that bullshit story".....haha...

[@guitwiz64]

Double Congrats, enjoy this beautiful Goldie

[@guitarnut97]

Happy Anniversary! Congratulations on the first 19 years!!

[@intheblues]

It has nice chirp on the top end! Nice work mate. Congrats. :-)

[@Chirn70]

Next ITB video... Shane gets LP GAS :))

[@dannyh7557]

Harmony is better than Gibson.

[@jeffmansfield914]

Congratulations on the milestone in your marriage! My wife and I reached that point for me a couple of years ago, and it was an amazing thought to realize that I had been married to her longer than I had NOT been. Good on you guys for making it last; it certainly takes work and sacrifice. Will we get to meet her on the channel sometime?

[@ejstar8917]

Happy Anniversary! Sweet guitar!

[@bernardoluizferreirafernan2524]

Hey Phillip, congratulations! I wish the best for you two! Thank you for all your great videos!

[@TrevorParkJones]

Hey Happy Anniversary to you and your wife Phil, and happy new guitar day too!! That's really a beauty of an LP there, nice going!! I also wanted to say thank you for being one of the most genuine, and informative guitar guys on KZbin!! I've been a player now for about 26 years, and I love learning new things about guitars, and gear as much now as when I first started playing. You are always fun, and entertaining to watch, I think you do an excellent job explaining how things work, and what you like or dislike about them. Thanks for knowing your gear, and teaching me to know mine better too!!

[@NYC_Geology]

Congrats on the anniversary and the happy marriage!

[@Devin-fp5eo]

I hope it bring you many years of enjoyment, happy anniversary :)

[@Spidouz]

That's how we recognise a real gear addict: "I wanted to buy a nice gift for _my wife_, so I bought myself a new Gibson Les Paul" :) :)

[@JamesMilsonAuthor]

Congratulations on the new guitar and anniversary! Love your channel and videos, and the fun way this one started. Wonderful approach and work, keep it going! :)

[@jayguitar]

Fantastic! Many congrats on 19 years dude!!! Beautiful guitar! Brings memories as a friend set me a guitar as a wedding gift and it holds a special place for sure 😊 I'm coming up for 10 years this year.... Wonder if I can convince my wife that I need another 😃 have an awesome day Phillip - thanks for all the awesome vids and inspiration man!!! 😊

[@SalmonFume]

HAPPY NEW GUITAR DAY ! You look so happy!

[@mciver47]

[@joecatling2468]

Congratulations on your anniversary, and beautiful guitar!

[@lovemonkey6389]

Beautiful guitar and Happy 19th Anniversary to you and your wife!!!

[@csharpminorseven]

Happy Anniversary & I love the story telling 'bout different ways of telling the wife/partner/loved one - creative video, fun too! :-)

[@sixstrings4568]

Happy Anniversary! Coming up for 32 years here. Sweet guitar!

[@Habaneropeppah]

Congratz on 19 years. My wife and I are celebrating our 19 years today! How do you wake up to play guitar in the morning with an alarm like that? lol.

[@hamedhosseinzade790]

i love this guy! his videos are so good that every time i recieve a notification i just click it no matter what the title is! i should watch it

[@bird718]

yeah good vids

[@suhailcouto1832]

Hamed Hosseinzade same!

[@scenario27]

Congrats to you Phil and your wife on your marital milestone, I hope the 3 of you will be very happy together!

[@1960fusion]

Sounds great, i know that there are so many Gibson haters out there and i am not a fan boy for any one brand owning over twenty guitars and growing, but i love my 2014 LP standard, two SG's and my 1960 classic LP. All of my Gibson's sound, look and feel great...Happy Anniversary to you and your wifey!!!

[@tomshaug]

Nice video Phil, congrats on the anniversary, many more years and guitars for you both!

[@RealEstateChris56]

Congratulations on an awesome guitar and your anniversary! My 2017 Les Paul Classic Gold Top (identical to yours) arrived last Friday 5/26 and I simply cannot put it down...I love it!!! Thanks for making awesome videos!

[@michaelhooks3644]

i like how he started off with "you need to "let" them know", not "can I?" lol

[@robertbrandner]

Very nice :-) And congratulations to your anniversary.

[@gatormouth337]

Phil, congratulations on your anniversary. Every anniversary is important. happy to see you found a new guitar that you are in love with.

[@Solelova67]

Happy Belated Anniversary and your Blessed to have someone like your Wife bro

[@troy1258]

Romantic Phillip, congratulations to you both, and the guitar.

[@jabberdouche]

Love New Guitar Day! I've arranged my work schedule around it ... watching the tracking number. So great.

[@SFBGuitar]

I'm such a sucker for a nice gold top. GAS mode engaged!!

[@PhillipMcKnight]

I told you, you started this, lol

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

Nice sound coming from the combination of the Goldtop and that little Marshall rig. What head was that? A DSL 15?

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

Sounds great!

[@dannyh7557]

First Act and Harmony are better than Gibson.

[@AnAmericanGuitarist]

Danny. Seriously. There is no credibility in that statement.

[@glisteningkabana8154]

Congrats man, beautiful. I was just saying before, to my wife, for my 50th I want to treat myself to a quality Les Paul. She said yep do it. 8 years to wait, could be tough though! Enjoy it man.

[@xCrimsonGoldx]

Hey Phil! I'm a lefty player and my first guitar was an epiphone les paul in cherry sunburst. I've been craving this goldtop because 2017 is the first year in quite a while that Gibson has actually made left handed versions of their guitars. I've been dead set on the classic gold top T and hearing your praise assures me that this is truly the guitar i want! Thank you so much and keep on!

[@philie91]

Congrats on the guitar and your marriage.. That is a weird thing to finally realize when you are with your spouse longer than you have been without them. dated my wife in 86... married her in 1989 .. we were 21... So I can totally relate! Great video!

[@bobtheblindbedroomguitaris8742]

congratulations and a happy 19th anniversary for the two of you

[@jwc00789]

Congratulations on your new Les Paul Classic and your 19th Anniversary!

[@gathda]

It sounds really nice. Intonation is spot on and it has that resonant sound.

[@wittyg4mer390]

Congratulations guys! On the topic of buying new gear, when I told my other half that I was buying a new rig (LP standard, JVM415, and some pedals) after uni she was absolutely fine with it - all it takes is a little communication

[@JohnWDGTandTele]

Way to go on 19 years of marriage, Phil!! It's always good to see marriages that stand the test of time!! And, thanks for such a cool channel. I love watching your videos!

[@ryanwilson5936]

Congrats on being with the same person for at least 19 years! I'm going on 10 with my wife. Guitars help! Wouldn't want it any other way though ;)

[@isaacroche3223]

Congratulations,great pick! Zebra 57' humbuckers are the holy grail imo! :)

[@EternityRecordsUSA]

Great for you. Congrats on your 19 years together. I'm recently married and the fact you mentioned her at the end of the video was a lovely touch.

[@Maus46]

Congrats to your wife and you Phil. Keep up the videos. Inspiring me to pick up and practice again.

[@jakajarc]

Hey Phillip, congrats to you and your wife on 19 years! Having watched Shane's gathering with all you guys hangin out, I realize why I lik your channel, and it's not just the work you put in, it's the honesty and the non-assuming down to earth and constructive way you comment, never snickering, never appearing aloof, while giving an air of confidence that you know what you are saying, or you don't say it. Even though your music tastes are somewhat removed form mine, I really enjoy your content :) Thought I'd say as much.

[@dfrain1000]

Happy anniversary!!!! Hope your gift will hold up. No worries.

[@brianknickerbocker8518]

Very cool about you and your wife. Very happy anniversary. Love her every day

[@ChurchOfChristguyRob]

just wanted to thank you for your KZbin site I enjoy it a lot, I used to be a commercial truck driver and I ended up with a torn aorta and can no longer work and your site has been quite a joy to me I love listening to you and the guy that does In the Blues, just wanted to thank you.

[@McDagger90]

Happy Anniversary mate!!! Hope you enjoy your new Les Paul! :)

[@5upaMav]

Love your work Phil. I got a Gretsch White Falcon for my 20th Anniversary and my wife and I say we have been together longer than we've been apart too!

[@y2kcurran]

I was very excited when I saw the notification for this video this morning, I've been battling with myself about whether I need that exact model, it's spec is perfect!! Thanks for uploading Phil...think you've helped me make my mind up ;)

[@peterlatham2407]

Hi over time i have watched loads of your videos. Thinkbthis is my favorite. Happy anniversary.

[@juanmartinreborati7928]

Congrats on your anniversary!

[@RackhirTheRed]

I love the 57 classics in my Les Paul. Great PU set! Congratulations on the 19 wedding anniversary. That's a real milestone and something to be admired.

[@jukaprocesso]

this is the best les paul of the 2017 range..... they made a special edition color of this in sea foam green, just gorgeous.... congrats on the guitar and the anniversary.... cheers

[@darrinros1177]

I love my Classic. Almost as much as my 58R, New guitar day. Love that. Should be on a calendar.

[@MindFullCheeseburger]

Congrats on 19 years and on the new LP i got a 2016 honeyburst classic they're great

[@johnlaycock9974]

[@robertrockwell6996]

Happy Anniversary. Congrats on the new guitbox!

[@megatrends]

Well congrats on the nice Classic, I have a 2006 1960 Les Paul Classic and it's great, I am sure you will love this one for the rest of your life! Oh and ... My lady got me a Gibson Les Paul Custom Shop Standard Historic R9 VOS Lemonburst for a graduation present.

[@72864]

Bought the exact model 2 months ago. My first Lester. I added the poker chip and swapped out the speed knobs for reflector bell knobs and pointer. Just love this guitar. Gibson got this right. Very pleased with it. Can't wait to see further videos with you putting it through its paces. Oh yeah, don't you love that brand new Gibson vanilla smell! Enjoy your new gold top !

[@minisurfbanana]

mike young did the same to mine...

[@bobby9727]

Happy Anniversary to you and your very cool wife Phil.She s a keeper Lol.Oh and nice geeetar.The older you get the lighter you want your guitars.

[@supernatural758]

HAPPY NGD. AND CONGRATULATIONS ON THE 19TH ANNIVERSARY . STAY HAPPY

[@johnzenger7880]

Congratulations and Congratulations Phil!

[@johnrichjr.415]

congrats on the new guitar , more importantly , congratulations on your anniversary!

[@MrMrjauregui]

Phillip: why you are not the president of Gibson or fender (or both simultaneously) is beyond me.. You sure know how the business works starting with the wife agreeing!!

[@billhannum4117]

I have the same guitar a 2017 gold top classic I love it and congratulations on your 19 years

[@michaelking42]

Thanks for the review Phillip. You're a good person.

[@1970destroyer]

Man that is one real sweet Les Paul, especially with a Marshall cab. Hey nice love story too!

[@ChurchOfChristguyRob]

Congratulations,Happy Anniversary

[@Eddy63]

She's so fortunate to have you ... lol ...great video as usual . I have a LP classic with 1960 on the pick guard . I've had it for about 8 years ... still awesome guitar ...i shall do a shot or 3 ...

[@jordandelacruz1866]

Nice Phil! I met my wife when I was 15 in high school but we didn't start dating till we were 17, 2 months prior to graduating in 85! I was gigging in a cover band, making a full time at minimum wage, pay playing covers on the weekend( my drummer was 17' my keys/rhythm gtr player 15 and his brother 14 on bass) so she doesn't bust my chops on gear! We're both 50 this year so I dig your anniversary. Married 24 years, together 32! Peace and love!

[@Frettedchaos]

Sweet guitar Phillip. That is the epitome of tone.

[@yourbore]

Happy belated anniversary! Thank you for the video. I'm probably going to get the green ocean burst classic. Sweet tone!

[@MarkJohnsonJams]

Congrats. New guitar day is the frickin best.

[@stevefrandsen]

You're very entertaining and insightful Phil. Enjoy your new Gee.

[@joshuang3919]

Congratz on your Anniversary!! :D

[@jimwoodard64]

Congrats on 19! Love the gold top. I have 2. Rock on!

[@MARK-r6c3k]

Congrats man! I love how you got all cleaned up for it. I generally know what I'm getting so I dress to match it for pictures.. Lol

[@markdakel9253]

Excellent tone

[@wrathgar11]

Awesome video 📹 and congratulations on 19 years together 🎊. My wife and I are on 3 ⚂

[@alwaysrockn2009]

What a great anniversary gift! Awesome video!

[@d0nny2600]

Great video man. Congrats on the Anniversary!

[@supermotorcat]

Getting the same one tomorrow from Sweetwater. Feeling like a kid at Christmas. They had it marked down to 1799 and I ended up getting it for 1699. I'm also getting the poker chip switch plate but they were out of stock so that's mailing a little later. I got a J 45 a couple weeks ago that I have fallen in love with as well. Beautiful feeling and sounding acoustic.

[@DanielEnochs]

I love your videos keep up the good work!! Hope you enjoy your new axe!!

[@shaalis]

Also the anniversary story...THAT IS something worth celebrating! Congrats!

[@philipboug]

You are such a genuine guy Philip.. :-) Now, as others have said, go buy your dear wife something lovely. And Happy Anniversary :-)

[@thevernon48]

Congrats on the anniversary! I did the same thing a few years back, went in wanting a LP standard and came out with a Classic. I would never have thought that before I went shopping but it's what shouts out at you on the day, like Harry Potter at Ollivanders wand shop 😒

[@davidbolejack371]

Congratulation on your anniversary

[@wildweaselslayer]

So, what guitar did your wife get? :)

[@ianfisher5316]

The 4*12....

[@ZombieOrchestra]

She got sent to bed early with no dinner so he could play that sweet axe.

[@markleyva3108]

He probably got "her" a new Strat. 😂🤣😂

[@Rigel7WasAlreadyUsed]

She got the poker chip.

[@gatorbone2000]

Hey Phill , Thank you for your vids. I'm a 63H Vet. Busted Knuckles for uncle Sam back in the 80's. Just wanted to say thank you for your service. Jam on !

[@PhillipMcKnight]

Thank you and thank you for your service. I do not miss the times of Steal toed boots and the smell of burnt engine oil, but would not trade it either

[@rickhubbard3569]

Awesome choice, Phil. I bought a 2017 Gold Top Classic a couple of months ago and completely love it.

[@agtronic]

Just when I thought I was okay with my two LPs, you had to post this one. I can't explain why, but I never liked gold tops before. Now I think it's one of the most beautiful and classic looking LPs. And I LOVE the zebra pickups on the gold. Wow.

[@davidmahan6202]

Happy anniversary to you and your wife....

[@brettp1654]

Hey Phillip. I think what you are seeing on the binding at the cutaway is the maple cap. In order for the binding to follow the top around the cutaway there is more of the maple exposed near the mahogany & the two woods take stain differently. My 2016 Traditional is the same and it caught me at first until I realized what the cause was. I assume they are all like that. Thanks for the cool videos and the tips on how to approach the new guitar scenario :)

[@hart1090]

Congrats & happy anniversary!

[@unymirless8760]

damn if you buy in Guitar Center you are lucky if they give you the guitar lol

[@C_Gu3]

I bought a blackstar head there a few days ago and I had to ask them for the damn foot switch. No original packaging, instructions, or a warranty card. All I got was the amp and foot switch.

[@12south31]

@@C_Gu3 I had the opposite problem. Bought an Orange head, was new in the box but it did not say if it had a footswitch with it. I asked, they said it did not come with one so I bought one while I was there. Got home and guess what? It came with one!

[@chadbaker2224]

Lol If this ain't the damn truth

[@aaroncurry279]

Great vid Phillip! Awesome “let the wife know I’m buying a new guitar strategy”. I simply bought a variety of some sweet guitar picks, and told my sweet wife “hey honey, they make some really awesome accessories for these”. Now, I think we both have GAS. Congrats on 19 years and the sweet Gibson and Marshall. Your marriage is the most important of the three.

[@michaelpeters3933]

Congrats, enjoy your sweet new gold top. I've been tempted by the Classic in green ocean burst, but I picked up a 2016 Traditional in Honey Burst recently, which has the '57 Classics pups, too. Both the Classic and Traditionals are rock solid Les Pauls. :)

[@fireboxx3989]

You're making me even more excited for my guitar that comes in tomorrow! Im getting a Kramer limited Eddition pacer in Magenta metal flake.
