BONUS PHIL X!! 1973 Gibson Les Paul Deluxe 01086

[@frettedamericana]

Hey Everyone... This Video is dedicated to Fretted Americana owner, David Brass's Mom who has recently passed away. We appreciate your kind thoughts and condolences.

[@2253glen]

I love this guy, he takes himself so not seriously. Angels can fly because they take themselves lightly!

[@GuillermoSmyser]

Minibuckers are like the best of both worlds. Less output and more responsiveness but no noise. Where as p90s are like the least of both worlds but their imperfection is what gives them character. And to Phil, thanks for doing all these videos you love them and we love you. I can't imagine what it's like to lose someone that close to you but there are a lot of people that care about you, so don't forget that.

[@killianoconnor]

I saw a lot of guitarists but man, Phil X is the only one who really motivates me to pick it up my guitar and get better.

[@aschule5684]

Love Phil X, such a talented guitarist singer song writer, love watching listening to him shred on all these vintage instruments, I watch several of his reviews a day, "it makes me happy" love watching talented people play these gems, the les pauls are a favorite and I wish I could buy them all, rock on Phil !!!

[@SamLibman]

Oh man, I miss these videos... Nostalgia for DAYS!

[@jimistheman9732]

The Deluxe is the underrated gem of the vintage LP's. As early bursts climb to a half million dollars and other vintage LP's are dragged upward, the Deluxe will become the vintage LP to buy.

[@IrishBog]

Hope so - just bought a 75 Deluxe Goldtop - feels great!

[@DaddyMassive]

Just got myself a 78. It’s amazing!! The feel is so much better than anything modern.

[@jadedcynical7739]

So true! Norlin’s cop a bit of a bad rap but my 69/70 Deluxe is the most resonant guitar I ever played and I got it for the same price as a new Les Paul. Unbelievable guitars in my book!!

[@toootooo5]

I agree! I had a 77 Les Paul Deluxe Gold top, the best playing and sounding guitar I ever had. I'm thinking of buying a new gold top with P-90s and changing them out to Minis

[@googlegilbertlevinmars322]

P90 50 gold top and this are the best to collect next to slash

[@pharmerdavid1432]

A crazy genius of a musician, and we loves it..!

[@josephmonaco4503]

Phil, You are by far one of the Greatest Guitarists of all time. You can do everybody out there from my time. That's what hits home. You are a lot younger than I am BUT, you know my era's music like a Pro from the Past. GREAT JOB and GREAT MUSICIAN !!!!! Keep on Playing my Brother in time.....

[@VadArDealen]

Still watch these videos, peak tone and vibe. You can really hear the true room tone so well in these old vids!

[@SDguitarplayer858]

One of my absolute favorites of the Fretted Americana collection. The finish on this just blows my mind every time i watch this video!!!!!!!!!!!!

[@DanG626]

1:43 "and you don't wanna make the hole any bigger, and if you keep taking the screw in and out it's gonna make it bigger" THAT'S WHAT SHE SAID

[@Wooburnmusic]

I have had my 79 deluxe from new and it has played decades of gigs, recently I have been thinking of getting a new Tele but, I pick up my deluxe and wonder what on earth was I thinking ! I love the mini humbuckers and have never even needed to take the truss rod cover off ! Thankyou Gibson for giving me such a reliable and great sounding guitar. 😁👍

[@jimistheman9732]

Took my TRC cover off for the first time in 40 years recently. But I've changed climates radically twice in a few years. so that's probably the reason it finally needed adjustment. There was still factory sawdust in the cavity.

[@Wooburnmusic]

@@jimistheman9732 lol Jim ! Some valuable dust there Jim ! Well, I've had the hots for a Tele for many years but the thought of that 60 buzz continues to put me off, personally tho I think that there is only great sound on a Tele and that's the bridge pickup especially going thru a Marshall 50w valve amp but must run through a 4x12 tho, but that said, my deluxes have given me years of trouble free gigging, I used a strat for a few years before I bought the deluxes and the sound of the strat in many different venues was a nightmare ! When I bought the deluxes it took around 6 months to begin to play them in, but, I never looked back 👍 nice to hear from you Jim take care and never stop playing. 😁👍

[@thesixblade]

recently discovered Phil X - what skills! Great tone, great technique, great voice, great fun!

[@HiMyNameIsStudMuffin]

I've always wanted a 70's deluxe and in that same burst finish. Such a beauty

[@bumsex4me]

Phil X has been the only guitarist in a long time to make me actually want to play guitar again and practice properly

[@alexmurnik]

I love this guy he doesnt try snd sound all pro have his hands to his side when talking and all he acts like a human not a robot when interviews guitars and i love watching his videos!

[@sillylilkoala]

I can't tell who I was admiring more...him or the guitar...

[@ronandelana]

I'm almost crying with the loving memory song, very sad and thoughtful since is a piano song, and all of the sudden this guy appear with so much energy hahaha

[@philkelly5568]

Thanks for the demo; awesome. I am in awe of your musicianship. I have a 1978 Les Paul Deluxe, Tobacco Sunburst that sings when played, that I have had for 28 years. My wife surprised me with it as a Christmas present. Keep making the demos!

[@queenofspades101]

I have a 1971 Les Paul Deluxe in a cherry sunburst! The neck is so slim, and the action is brill! My Dad bought it in london in 1972 the rare thing about it is tho there is a coil tap on it! Makes it sound like a tele which is rather cool!

[@vojdus]

New PhilX video always makes my day

[@Ramones1234100]

Damn, that was probably the most amazing version of Little Wing that Phil has ever played. Props for the GnR as well :)

[@ganzorig8882]

Thanks for us having Phil X demo, Julia Leah Brass May you R.I.P.

[@tearcircus]

Tonemaster is the funk! As the "Bad Monkey". Thanks Mr. Phil! Keep keeping it fun and reminding us why we play guitar..... "It's just badass fun"!!!

[@HanksAnthem]

I have a bunch of those plastic strap locks, and they work great!!! Just bought a Les Paul Deluxe Goldtop, and it rocks!!!

[@jimyang8824]

A really good singing voice!

[@nickshaw6085]

Nailed Sweet Child! Rock on!

[@thirdrider]

That's an unorthodox version of Sweet Child o' Mine, but the guitar and its guitarist make up for any inadequacies by sheer awesomeness.

[@billb89]

Beautiful looking and sounding guitar.

[@jonnyhtown3806]

those traps locks work awsome ive been using them for years

[@heinzdziurowitz]

Just bought this exact same guitar at the local pawn shop and it's incredible. I'm usually a Fender guy but this thing satisfies.

[@Briaalys]

Hey, Phil, thanks so much for all of your reviews, running these instruments through their paces (i.e., "screwing around"...just like we would, given the opportunity!). Always helpful, brother. :)

[@puloverpulcsi]

This vid just made my day! Cheered me up in a second! Phil X, you awesome!

[@dancingrizz]

May God bless you in this time of great loss.

[@robertteague4586]

wpw phil that was fun!! i had that guitar when i was 14. brilliant playing and singing AS ALWAYS GOD BLESS MS. BRASS @men

[@CR0SSJ]

Love that "Flight of the Bumblebee" at the end great sound!

[@IliasMisirlis]

Got a 1976 Deluxe in wine red!A beast of a guitar!Greetings from Greece Phil!

[@ГеоргиГеоргиев-щ4ф7в]

You are the prince of rock and the sun of the God of rock PHILX you rule!

[@DreamsCatcher101]

We need to start a competition called "pick darts" You have to do a 30 second riff, then throw your pick at a board 8 feet away.

[@ericpetrossian1582]

DreamsCatcher101 dfdddddddddddddddddddddd

[@MrMcmister0]

this man speaks the truth, all those guys sitting with a guitar between them and a computer not wanting to just jam along to a tune without thinking "um i need to see the tabs for this song maaan" ive been playin for more than 10 years and while im no technichal master i have plenty of fun just jammin, usually without any tabs in sight. USE YOUR EARS!

[@raymon8044]

I'm not really into Les Pauls but those 70's deluxes are the beez kneez. I played a '76 once and it was amazing.

[@BuzzsawMoviesLtd]

You're welcome. They are a really good piece of kit. They keep my guitars safe from falling. Even when jumping about.

[@buthex]

what a beautiful guitar

[@lenduckworth99]

Mini hums are beautiful sounding things. So much better for playing non rock styles on an LP

[@robertdosekamf]

I like that little wing - perfect!

[@BaalZephonMusic]

It's currently fashionable in uninformed circles to slag all Norlin-era LP's. Having owned 7 Les Paul's ranging from 1969 to 2013, including 2 custom shop VOS (ES 1275 and R60), I have two 1976 LP Deluxes and find them to be the smoothest playing (slim taper neck) and sturdiest builds out of all my LP's. They have a two piece mahogany body, a 3 piece CARVED maple top and a three piece maple neck with volute, & sound incredible. The mini-humbuckers don't have the low end of a PAF, but the sweetness and sustain is incredible.

[@BlindTom61]

You are correct Baal. Norlins can be killer axes with just a few tweaks. And you don't have to kiss Henry's butt to own one...

[@calebproductions5970]

Wow cool

[@mkilner]

epic ending!...great guitar and happy to see phil rocking out again!

[@Martek09]

Sorry about your mom David.... Mine died 4 years ago.. and.. just keep on going, you guys are doing a great job (; Thank´s for the vids

[@astro2069]

I got a 72 deluxe, freakin awesome guitars!

[@swifypaws]

Ive watched a lot of your videos, and this one is top 5 for sure

[@calvinscheuerman]

this video totally changed my mind about mini humbuckers. this guitar has such an amazing tone. and honestly, the price is much much less than i was expecting.

[@JohnSmith-te5oo]

I have a 79 which is cool because you get the Norlin neck construction but it's actually a conventional body (not pancake) and of course the mini's sound AWESOME

[@PaulKeil]

Cool stuff, cheered me up no end. Phil can you do the white Duo Jet in the background and play some Kingdom Come or Rory Gallagher? Cheers dude!

[@albatrosseable]

amazing singer/shouter and a very solid guitar player.

[@Tycho114]

How can you not love Phil X?

[@SuyashJ]

finally!! phil plays songs that i can play!!

[@HardAsARock222]

Phil doing "Little Wing"...wow that was beautiful!!!! Thank God for Phil...to say the least.

[@crysisgamer81]

nice playing at the end.... WOW!!! DUDE, that's ROCK!!

[@Mrr3nato]

the music is what unites us, though we do not know each other... and that's just magic:) everybody together on David Brass's pain.

[@BermsideProductions]

7:00 to the end: totally epic meltdown!!!! nicely done!!

[@rgilbert8]

U rock Phil X. Life is just a fantasy!

[@eklefeckin1]

Awesome guitar and your playing too!!!!

[@CovenGraphics]

Nice guitar! I've never seen one like it and its very impresive! I'm going to check it out on the site next!

[@DevinDivine1]

i watch these videos purely to watch Phil X jam out

[@GuMpAkC]

Sorry for your loss, sucks losing a loved one. Keep rocking out and thank you for these vids!

[@Murpien]

It sounds really nice, and suprisingly strat-like!

[@SecretActivator]

The same model and year that Ace Frehley used before he got his Cherry Sunburst. He had regular humbuckers installed but the neck pickup ring had to be cut where the fretboard meets the body but i guess standard humbuckers will fit in these. Check out early pictures of KISS and youll see what im talking about. I wanna get one of these and mod it like Ace's

[@PBANDSNOW]

Im responsible for 28000 of the views on this video

[@forcamania]

wauww thats a real beauty there at the right man, that les paul with that brown sort of dessert burst

[@piewacket]

Phil you are the man !

[@aarongtr180]

Holy hell, I knew Phil X could rock, but I didn't know he could shred like that!!!

[@Waltos]

Phil is just too awesome.

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

What is the little plastic thing he puts on as a strap lock called and where can i get one?

[@najibora]

love that little wing!

[@chrstphbch]

best little wing by philx in a frettedamericana video...

[@specialagentjoebrett2466]

I have the same GOLDTOP !!! Love it

[@robertiaccarino4363]

I sold mine in "96; regret it every day. Great guitar but I do not remember it sounding with this much treble.

[@frettedamericana]

@theroyallowdown i'm afraid it was sold, but please check out our website for more guitars!!

[@PanamaJack666]

Great little wing!

[@Huntington12345678]

Love when Phil goes bonkers, (i.e. "Flight of the Bumblebee.)

[@emiliofernandez1660]

Eres una gran persona man, un fuerte abrazo desde Cusco, Perú capo.

[@skillzdatkillz900]

phil always ends the videos in the most awesome ways haha

[@Jesiah-Rod88]

Beautiful intro, touched my heart

[@BartleyNorman]

Who needs TV. WE HAVE PHIL X!!! Ninja Hugs(Coined from Bartley) Phil from Arkansas!!!

[@voskresene]

What a sweet sounding guitar!

[@BlindTom61]

I've got a '73 Standard. Great neck. Cool video. Thanks!

[@ChrisHKJ]

philx does the best little wing cover EVER! :D

[@Nateh918]

little wing was fantastic!

[@ThePower8]

Thanks for doin that guit, LOVE IT!

[@richardabell175]

Love the mini humbuckers, i have a deluxe 69. Some people compare them to Fender single coils, I honestly would disagree. More like a single coil with extra cream, they are totally unique in my mind. But I am really happy that they seemingly remain unpopular, means more for me on the collectors working within a limited budget.

[@daveericsonn]

his characterxd when jack black meets dave grohl, with guitar hero-level skills. super great guy! great reviews. love it:D

[@BobCronley]

Awesome guitar, very versatile. The neck pickup almost sounded like a strat, as Phil said. I am going to have to check out the mini humbuckers. And, as usual, awesome player!

[@jer48888]

Gorgeous little wing. I dig.

[@jeffreybiscoe6]

Always liked these ,b4 I knew a lot about guitar differences,I remeber Joan Jett runaway area with these little type pick ups ,I think Townsend too. So it was the ax I wanted before I knew the 58-60 hype.

[@HarryAndAGuitar]

@TheFurpus I asked the same thing on this video :D It's a dunlop ergo lok strap lock :)

[@zgolijan]

Cool sht man. Thanks for the tip on the strap lock. Keep on rockin.

[@julosx]

@DunnampedwithCG I use beer bottle rubbers around the strap buttons. It does the job just as as well and you got in addition to that drink when you're not playing ;)

[@southsideronnie]

Phil X is such a cool guy.

[@alexandrevalente9994]

Great flight of the bumblebee ;-)

[@DrCowinabox]

thinking of saving up to buy my first nice guitar... the neck on these suckers sounds so sweet like melted chocolate in some demos but the bridge is nice and hot crispy sounding... like when you make your own tortilla chips... (at least that s what it sounds like from the vids i have heard)... would you recommend these above say a standard?

[@leddeath80]

i've been waiting for the lp. cheers FA
