A Fine and Original Single-Cut Les Paul Junior - This One Bites!
This 13-inch-wide electric solid body weighs just 7.00 lbs. and has a wonderful fat neck profile, a nut width of 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Solid mahogany body with two-color brown-to-yellow Sunburst finish on top and brown finish on back and sides, mahogany neck, and unbound Brazilian rosewood fretboard with 22 all original frets and inlaid pearl dot markers. Headstock with "Gibson" logo and "Les Paul Junior" silk-screened in gold. Three-in-a-line Kluson Deluxe 'single-line' no-name strip tuners with white plastic buttons. Serial number ("513092") stamped in black on the back of the headstock. One hot P-90 pickup with an output of 7.56k. Single-layer black plastic pickguard with three screws. Two controls (one volume, one tone) on lower treble bout, potentiometers stamped "615 2632 548" (ROC November 1955) and "134 542" (Centralab October 1955). "Bumble-Bee" capacitor. Gold plastic bell-shape "Bell" knobs. Original combination wrap-over bar bridge/tailpiece. There is almost no body checking on this fifty-five year old 'closet-freak' - just three tiny surface marks on the top, a few tiny surface marks on the edges of the body, and some slight wear to the edges of the headstock. The original thin frets show very little wear and this guitar plays and sounds exactly as it should. Overall in 9.00 exceptionally fine condition. Housed in a seventies Gibson brown five-latch hardshell case with purple plush lining (8.50).

The 15 year old that would have bought this guitar when it was new, is now 77. Could that kid have ever imagined that this guitar would have seen how music has changed in the years between then and now, and that Phil X would be auditioning it. Amazing life these guitars have.

@caleblowery3792 7 месяцев назад

My grandpa is that 15 yr old kid. And passed it down to me, “baby”. His mother bought it for him while working at the mills in North Carolina. I carry the tradition. Extremely blessed to have the story

Phil X is like the Zaphod Beablebrox of guitar but actually knows what he's doing. \m/

Hey Phil, he’s just this guy, ya know?

@velosouk 10 лет назад

I don't want understand people. People don't understand freedom & fun. This guy, Phil, he's an amazing player, AMAZING. He's funny, happy, what is the fucking problem with being happy nowadays ? To me seems like he enjoy life and enjoy music and playing guitar. What is the fucking problem with enjoying it ? Does everything needs to be serious and boring ? Does ? Great musician, great person, great guitar playing. All fine to me. Me and Jon Bongiovi we cannot both be wrong... not at all ! Go get laid boring people...

Love this guitar. KIngs X rules btw phil love the reference.

@tatethompson1234 11 лет назад

Dave Davies is the one who invented that distortion sound by taking a razor blade to his Eplico amp. He used a Harmony Meteor on You Really Got Me. Ray wrote the song, but never had anything todo with the guitar sound or style of it. Ray used a Fender Telecaster also, and would just play during Daves solos.

@Broxi57 5 лет назад

I was at that gig in Glasgow and met Phil briefly afterwards. Great fun, great gig.

@OLLEnatior 11 лет назад

for several weeks i thought that guitar sucked and i wanted to quit playing because i felt like everyone outshined me with all their fancy jazz thingy scales and what not. UNTIL! i found Phil X who got me excited to play again. Pentatonic scales (Its where its AT) great playing/sound AND a great personality just made me want to pick up the guitar again and play like never before. So thanks Phil, really thank you. You're a great inspiration for me from now on. Rock on!

@kluezcha 11 лет назад

"cause this is in the pass, and this is a present, and the future is around the corner" love that!

@charzard1404 11 лет назад

That guitar flip was frigging badass

@OzziePete1 11 лет назад

It's not the noise that is the problem as it is all in the next room from me when I play (and safe enough for my hearing). Ideally I'd like to have the amp's controls handy to me when I play & record. There's some DI type boxes from Radial & I'm now aware the speaker leads can be longer so I just have to check the gauge of wire in the cables I run to the cabinets so I don't lose too much tone in the cable run. Thank you for your interest & advice.

Always a good day when the Fretted Americana videos drop into the Inbox!

@-DILLIGAF 8 месяцев назад

Kinks had both Ray and Dave Davies. I just watched a YT documentary this week where DAVE explained he slashed his speaker with a RAZOR after a fight with his girlfriend. He then proceeded to do it again in the video showing before then slashing it and after. VERY COOL to see! It was in the middle of a Tony Iommi & Brian May documentary where Tony was explaining the influence on his tone.

Phil X and Paul Gilbert need to do a record together. They are both torch carriers for the salvation of rock!

@amatas83 11 лет назад

That's cool that I was one of the lucky ones to get that text tone. I love it. So much fun!

@Stratomacaster 11 лет назад

"Gonna Go Down" = wicked awesome tone. Favorite Kings-X - Gretchen Goes To Nebraska. Just love that 8 string bass sound.

God i want this guitar

@retro_mando 10 лет назад

Look on guitar center for Gibson 2015 Les Paul Junior, they are selling in this color as well as TV yellow and Heritage Cherry, for $899 U.S. Dollars.

@richardwaterman1625 10 лет назад

Thats an awsome price but i dont think they ship to the UK :'(

I was part of that Braveheart cry! Amazing gig! Cant wait for the next one.

@SvenTviking 4 года назад

Ray Davies wrote the songs, Dave Davies played the lead guitar and slashed the speaker cones.

@hemmelight 11 лет назад

You're totally right! As soon as he played that chord I got huge Opeth vibes.

@DonThorvund 11 лет назад

I completely understand your appreciate for Vintage equipment. Just a note, the PX-90 is not modded. Phil and Tim designed it and it is manufactured exactly as intended. No mods are needed, anybody that purchases it receives it exactly as designed. I am sure you are aware of this, but in case others are reading.

@shawneec1111 3 года назад

It’s complete nuts that in 2021 those early and mid 50s Junior are around 12K to almost 20K on reverb. It’s ridiculous I think Lol 😂

@Zago762 11 лет назад

I was talking about the first tuning he was using right before Mississippi Queen, thanks for helping dude :D

@kevinpopescu9741 8 лет назад

I love watching theses vids for all the music references he does. My music culture is pretty muych shit on the rock side so I try to fix it

@JOESEMTEX69 8 лет назад

Your music culture is pretty much shit because you listen to turd like Justin Beiber and one direction. Boy you need to lock yourself up away from that gay ass music and get some rock inside you. Pop music causes homosexuality, and you don't really want to be an ass bandit all your life, go get yourself some pussay.!!!

@kevinpopescu9741 8 лет назад

joe clayton Oh man you got it all wrong! I never listened to bieber and one direction shit xD this stuff is for prepubecent girls. but I indeed listened to more generic and commercial rock like muse, green day, red hot chilly peppers or 21 pilot. Overall, I'm more of a metalhead but I really enjoy everything that has electric guitar in it! from punk to hard and indie and alternative too! Pussy for life bro I meant it was shit one the classic rock side. I didn't expressed myself too well

@BuzzsawMoviesLtd 11 лет назад

I think we can come to the conclusion that both the p-90, vintage or otherwise, and the PX-90 are brilliant pick ups and the designers of both are geniuses.

@purplefloyd5150 11 лет назад

Thank you for uploading this at my birthday!

@peeblesj1131 11 лет назад

It's on the bottom of the rack of amps under that Marshall. I honestly dont even know if you can see it in this video, but you can see it there in the other vids they've done at this studio.

@KieferBudwell420 11 лет назад

Sooooo much Phil X epicness

@srfBoris157 11 лет назад

@rickenbacker40011 10 лет назад

im still kinda sad the recordings arent being done at fretted americana, it just dont have the feel here

@davidrobson9965 9 лет назад

Totally agree. It was always nice to look over Phil's shoulder at the great looking axes lining the walls!

@BerndThomasSchuller 11 лет назад

sounds amazing with the Roppoli

@Stratomacaster 11 лет назад

It's not a stupid question at all. And you are somewhat correct. The shorter the lead, the better the signal is and the less chance you have of introducing EM interference into your system. But considering the head is pushing (usually) 8 or 16 ohms to the cabinet, longer cables aren't really too bad. I would imagine that in the studio Phil is in, the head goes to a patch panel, then from there is gets boosted and/or filtered to the cab.

@markanthony653 4 года назад

The drills Kick-Ass.

@zappa73 11 лет назад

Love PhilX....love the old background with guitars adorning the walls......I'm thankful for the videos, but that background is just soulless mindfk.... err...great playing, thanks for sharing

@ShoreStudios 11 лет назад

I have that text tone! I modified it to work with my Android powered GS3 after I sold my iPhone, because I loved it so much. I was at the dentist on Saturday getting a root canal done when I got a text, of course its the PhilX OWWWWWW immediately my dentist stopped and asked if I was in pain, I said no its my phone and he laughed. Best text tone ever, always turns heads, perfect for when you are around a random hot girl too, its fuckin multi-purpose!

@eleintblood 11 лет назад

I've had that stuck in my head for the last two weeks. Haha, It's part of my greetings now,

@DonThorvund 11 лет назад

Imagine how amazing that beast would sound with a PX-90!

@maximilianwarne9435 11 лет назад

that is a great sounding gibson.

@OzziePete1 11 лет назад

Thank you so much for the informed reply. I have a small home studio. I really have to take care of my ears & can't be near the cabinets at all! My amp is in the next room & I'm running a 20 ft (low impedance) guitar cable. It's a bitch when you have to run from 1 room to the next to adjust the settings. If I could have the amp in the main room & run a lead or some sort of Radial DI into the cabinet in the next room things would be more efficient. I was always told short leads for amp - cabinet.

@Bluebuthappy182 11 лет назад

Pretty cool chord sequence there Phil

@xDooksx 10 лет назад

That guitar is so mint

@eduardoallo8786 Год назад

I suppose that in a guitar with a single pickup the electrical circuit is simpler and the signal is more direct, since it does not have to go through the selector etc.

@johnroesch689 5 лет назад

so .tune down like eddy and do the math.phil x love these .great player.thanks for the inspiration

@philx1111 11 лет назад

i think it depends on the guitar. the P90 in this Jr definitely sings sweetly through it.

You're so right about that little part in Mississippi Queen . I added it to my arsenal. Thanks man! \m/

@guitardude97100 11 лет назад

4:50 the most leathery, velvety tone ive ever heard, or will hear, in my life

@kevman5 11 лет назад

Agh, I've always liked les paul jrs....I think I might splurge on an Epiphone soon

@ShoreStudios 11 лет назад

Link Wray stabbed the cone of his speaker with pencils to get the tone for the Rumble if I am not mistaken, was kinda a trick back then when the amps didn't break up as easily.
