    For those a little late to the party, there’s obviously a fairly big chunk of this video missing from the start that I unfortunately had to remove after a misunderstanding over being allowed to film. I thought I’d edit it out (using RUclips’s internal editor 😵‍💫) and post again though as there’s still some cool info about the Les Paul Custom as well as a stunning example from 1957 🖤 Thanks for watching.

    My 1974 20th anniversary Black Beauty Custom was the finest axe I ever owned. I bought it with gig money, lawn mowing money, and pizza cook money earned over the previous 2 years. It changed my life, and I've been that 18 year guitar player ever since ! Rock On Chris, keep living the dream ! 🎸

      I bought my 74 20th anniversary back in 1984 in Newcastle, England. All nickel hardware, 2 pick ups, Schaller keys, gold knobs but a horrible little toggle switch down near the volume controls that doesn't do anything. Whoever had it before me certainly worked it hard! Cost me £600.

      I still have my ‘74! Bought it from a music store in SF around 1975. I won’t tell you what I traded in for it.😢 One of the salesmen said it had belonged to Neal Schon before they got it. Even then he was going through guitars like crazy.😉

    There are few guitar players that you can immediately tell who it is just from a couple of notes (ie slash,mark knoffler,David Gilmour).I honestly think you are well on your way to becoming one of those players. Your choice of notes / phrasing is very unique.
    Your an inspiration to me and many others I’m sure
    Keep up the good work Chris 🎸🎸

    • @CorbCorbin

      Ritchie Blackmore is another that is like that. Freakishly unique. Yngwie was too - for a few years. Back then nobody could really do what he was doing. I remember us all wondering how it was even humanly possible, plus he had a freaky way of bending notes and playing melodies etc (it was not just about speed with him). Every Tom, Dick, and Harry set to work trying to learn it. He had a massive impact.

    Really enjoyable - the playing, of course, but also the tour of the 3 pick-ups - I was never quite sure how that all worked! I still have my 1968 LP Custom, I bought it off a friend in NZ around 1974 and it was my one and only guitar for recording and live work till 1982 when the band imploded! Still love playing it - all original pick-ups etc. frets are virtually non-existent but that's perfectly fine by me 😀

  • @Furtheronmusic
    @Furtheronmusic Год назад +2

    Just add a note here. Not only were the PAFs installed on Frampton's the wiring is different. Essentially his is a two pickup les paul wiring, but through single Vol and tone (the "bridge" position ones). Then the middle pickup is essentially always on but controlled through the other Vol and tone. Thus way Peter gets tones not available from a normal set up. Ie middle only, middle with neck, all three etc.
    I think it likely this was due to the retro fit of the three humbuckers, you'd need a special switchcraft model switch for the factory version obviously the 54 would not have originally had that so the wiring was a how to solution at the time.

  • @jaymccaan7379

    It's worth noting the wiring on the Phenix is different to the '57 model you demoed. On Frampton's the middle pickup is not wired to the switch but is blended in using one of the pair of vol/tone pots, the two outside pickups sharing the other vol/tone

    Maybe mentioned here...
