@chickenassasin123 the nearer they are to the fret the easier it is to play because you don't have to put as much pressure down with your fingers. However, if they get too near then you might get fret buzz where you hear the strings buzzing on the frets which believe me, is the MOST ANNOYING THING ON EARTH. in my opinion just try and get them as close as possible without any buzz :P there is no right or wrong :)
I love how phil shreds and beat up a 55 gold top 65 K worth or a 59 LP 200 K.... I don´t think there´s anybody around who have played eruption in a 59 burst. Awesome vids. There are really a great influence in my life. I´m a guitar player since I was 14, but now I´m in love with guitars... you know, brands, models, names....All the credit is for phil and fretted americana. Way to go. You rock
i'm impressed phil knows mr cab driver too. what good rock song does he not know? even b sides! i'm proud to share my name with him even though it means lover of horses
Any info. on this guitar compared to the LP Studio 1960s Tribute? I just got my LP 1960s Trib (Gold Top) and really love the p-90s. Just wondering if anyone has played 'em both.
You played a Daughtry tune on a '55 Gold Top??!!!
Jeez, I feel like my head's gonna' explode. That guitar probably gets locked up in a vault at night, and for the short time it's out of the case, this guy gets to play it. Makes me ill inside.
@urkingod It's very often said that the 1959 is the best ever, since it's also the one which has been the less produced of the early sunbursts (1958-1960), and also the most expensive guitar ever.
I have a question I am about to buy a gold top but in the back its red can some one tell me its real or fake it seems real to me but with the red back??????????? plz write on my profile and tell me P.S sorry for my bad inglish
Great vids!! Let me guess: you've got your mobile phone in your right pocket, right? With every video I hear a mobile phone kinda squeek when you roll the volume up on the guitars.
hahaha watch his leg bounce the whole time he wants to rock so bad-its great that hes so excited that he keeps stopping himself to play other songs. im sure if he could have it his way he would play every last song for knows for us. and i would watch them all. phil youre the best!
also, you mentioned the fact that you dont want to take vintage guitars out live. ever play burnys? i got a 78 black beauty and i think it tops the new gibsons for sure!
what was the song at :40?
