This early 1964 'reverse' Firebird Vll weighs just 9.00 lbs. and has a nice nut width of just under 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Solid mahogany body, one-piece mahogany neck with a medium profile, and bound ebony fretboard with 22 thin flat frets and inlaid pearl block position markers. Headstock with gold-painted "Gibson" logo on black plastic truss-rod cover. Individual Gibson Banjo-style tuners with rearwards tulip-shaped metal buttons. Three patent-number mini-humbuckers, each with a small rectangular black labe lettered in gold "Patent No. / 2,737,842" on the underside. Three-layer (white/black/white) plastic pickguard with eight screws and a "Firebird" emblem painted on in red. Four controls (two volume, two tone) on lower treble bout, plus three-way selector switch on pickguard. The potentiometers are stamped "137 64 0X (last digit on all four pots obscured by the solder) which corresponds with CTS, January through March 1964. Gold plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. ABR-1 Tune-O-Matic 'retainer' bridge with metal saddles, Gibson Deluxe Vibrola tailpiece with walrus tooth handle on tubular arm. All parts gold-plated. There is an area of belt-buckle wear on the back of the body (approximately 1 1/2 inches x 1 1/2 inches). The lower tip of the pickguard has broken off at the screw-hole and the upper tip of the trussrod cover has suffered the same fate. There are a few small edge marks and some minor tarnishing to the gold hardware - taking all that into account this guitar is in excellent plus plus (8.75+) condition. Original Gibson black hardshell case with orange plush lining (8.75).
The first song I learned on Guitar back in '88. A few of us were hanging out drinking MD 20/20 and the older dude who owned the house we were at was showing a friend how to play this song. He asked if I'd like to learn, I picked up the white Cort copy of a Les Paul they were using and played that run down lick note for note, first time. I immediately found that playing guitar came easy to me and from that point on the Guitar has been my passion...Thanks Gary RIP
Victim of Changes?
Been a long time. I have missed these. 🤟😁
This is the one I bought in August 64, sold in 50 and gound back in 83 and sold again aournd 99 ou 00. Last time I saw it, acouple of years ago it was on sale at Otoban Music in Montreal..Easy for me recognized with the mark over the neck pick up (from the 60s) and the rest of it. Take care ot it it's a great lady..
Firebirds have withstood the test in time in Rock...I have a '78 Firebird III....rock on anything I want it too.....I've played anything from old Beatles to Godsmack to Foo Fighters to The Sweet.........
I really love this guy's enthusiasm
Great guitar FA, great playing Phil. Hard to go wrong with a Firebird. They always deliver.
If you pause it, just right, at 05:09 you can see what would be one of the best Prog Rock album artworks of all time...
Man in the box was AMAZING!
Soundgarden ===== AWESOME
bring it Phil!!
That Man in the Box was epic.
Man in the box was awesome !!!!
now that was an epic man in the box!!!!!happy canada day phil x from your fellow torontonian!!!!!!
PHIL !!! I LOVE FIREBIRDS THANK YOU!! THEY ROCK !!! A LOT !
Sounds ace love the soundgarden and Alice stuff on this they sound superb nice to see somthing different on this beast!!
Love when you do Grunge Phil! The music of my coming of age .... you kill that shit. Reminds me of dancing in the cages of Long Island's rock clubs. Powder was probably selling out in LA while I was stomping my boot clad heels.
I wanna drink beer with this dude
That was a SWEET sounding neck pickup!
Ok so he covered almost all my favourite bands in this! Red hot, Alice in Chains and Soundgarden! WTF I MUST GET THIS GUITAR!
Damn, when the Firebird is with the Tonemaster, it sounds so mean,like it wants to kick you in the F*****g ASS, especially when Phil played "Man in the Box" on it, but when it is played with vox amp, it sounds nice and conteted. So this is one BADASS GUITAR!!
Thank you very much for "Man In The Box", that was wicked!
Dear Frettedamericana:
Please tell Phil that he should totally cover “Man In The Box” on his next solo album. And he should totally use the Firebird.
the last minute of these videos is the saddest i dont want them to end=[
Phil X is so awesome in HD
MAN IN THE BOX!!!! Nice.
This guy is the best!!!
Dude your amazing you're playing insane both parts
Haha, man in the box was sick!! Awesome!
This guy is my hero…
Damn , Phil should do vocals for Alice In Chains , he's pretty spot on.
BassOutcast Twin guitar with Jerry? I would pay good money to seen that. (don't they both have Friendman sig. amp?)
BassOutcast Yeah he should, but I don't want him to die now. All the Alice In Chains lead singers tend to die very young.

firebirds are so cool
Rollercoaster...of love...rollercoaster...hooo, hooo, hooo!
Firebirds are my favorite guitars next to Explorers! This one sounds amazing too (like all of them do)
Hi there my friend. I got a 1976 Gibson S-1 in today (my 10th one) and I also got in another Fender Aerodyne Stratocaster. Black, no pickguard. I have another VERY rare Strat on it's way and still waiting for my Minarik Inferno to find it's way here after a month of waiting on it.
Soundgarden was bit appropriate because Kim Thayil, lead guitarist of Soundgarden, actually uses firebird a lot
best reviews ive seen in a while! Came for the firebird, subbed for the vocals ;) keep it up
MESSY He has his own band and the newer reviews have them demo the instruments in a band setting.
Great guitarist + Vocalist -> PHIL X FOR PRESIDENT!!!
I freaking love firebirds.
wow, amazing guitar
nice playing, phil
This looks way better than the firebird x !!
Phil is certifiable.
Bessst youtube chanell ! A Real musician, fun to watch.
Dude!! You make me wanna buy Ever Single One of these guitars!!!!! \m/
I was GASing for a Thunderbird (Firebird Bass, for those who don't know) Now I think having a Firebird wouldn't be bad either. There's only so much money though, I might have to end up building one or both of them.
man in the box was on point
You are ridiculous, and awesome. Thanks for the great video and guitar playing bro!
props for playing soundgarden :)
Man in the box was fucking amazing.
Wow the Alice in chains was pretty awesome indeed .... man that is “The Guitar “ Johnny Winter and Allen Collins from Lynyrd Skynyrd... man I am buying one for sure , I had a 1989 reissue 1957 Triple humbuckers Gibson Les pau Custom with triple alnico 57 classics on it ... man I wish I still had it ...it was very heavy with awesome sustain ...
you should put the name of the songs that phil plays because in every video there are some songs that I don't know and I enjoy them !!! everyone agree with me !!!!!!!
Yes sir it was...Hope she will have a good life now. I have pictures of me and her in the 60s and the 80s and 90s. You may go to facebook pages and there is plenty o photos of it,
Michel Rousseau Montréal
I laughed out loud when he started playing Daughtry.
he sings really good
i swear the drills could win americas got talent
soundgarden!!!!! YEAH love those guys
IIIIIIMMMMM THE MAN IN THE BOX!!!! ALICE IN CHAINS!!
Nice sound !
I smiled through the whole video, that was fun to watch. Your fucking awesome!
love this guy!
I feel like I owe him some money for all the time I spend watching his videos.
awesome vocals
@JacoPastor Thats because they do about 10 videos each session, so they used the same amp for all the videos in that session
geez how i was hoping he was gonna play alice in chains when he mentioned a song from 1990/91....great shit
phil x i actually love you ;D dont ever stop making these videos haha x
I Love This Man
HOLYCRAP 8:10 sounds just like meet her at love parade 2001
You nailed Alice In Chains dude!
You're my guitar hero. :)
phil sounds GREAT for grunge
He does, he's wearing it.
Phils killer no matter whaat he does hes a force
u ROCK dude , u should play BORN TO BE WILD
Phil, you should try to play some old school Judas Priest on a Les Paul Custom next time! Glenn used to use LP Custom's and 60's SGan stdards in the old days! Rock on!
I love you, man.
Sounds like a Gretsch and Gibson at the same time, a nice twang to the classic Gibson chrunch
Please use the Tonemaster. It sounds sooooo cool!!!!!!!!!!
Rollercoaster of love! Uh uh uh uhhhhhh
That thing sounds to DIE FOR clean
@Guitarristasdel22 somebody asked that on another video and frettedamericana says that they can't do that because they don't know what the songs are. Phil doesn't plan out what he plays or tell them what he played usually.
This guy is totally pro
imagine if phil x was your dad
I'm telling you, the Firebird is your guitar. No one in modern hard rock has really made their mark with it. I'm sure Framus can cook you up something similar, maybe just changing it to Humbuckers might be enough.
@Vizatrox Man in the Box by Alice in Chains - "It was released as a single in 1991 after being featured on the group's debut full-length album Facelift (1990)." Wiki
@tehwasabiking right you are, i meant to say outshined
Damn man that shit was awesome!!!!!!!!! :D Phil just made my day.
who here knows that theres no way in hell that they could ever buy one of these guitars but watch anyway cuz of Phil?
do more AIC man,, you rock!!!
@MrOffandonagain
that song is Victim of Changes from Sad Wings of Destiny
please phil, review epiphone dot, squire telecaster, and other low end guitars to make us feel secure
@JacoPastor Not everybody watches every Frettedamericana video so they might not have watched previous videos to realise that.
yeah c'mon lets hear the tonemaster, that thing rocks!
Come on Phil, I know you've got some acoustics in that shop. Do some demo vids of them!
"Today we dont have the Tonemaster"
*Mouses over the Exit button, Realizes its phil X, Stays on video like a normal person*
@AlienWorkshopSk8tr
My opinion on that guitar has changed,
I think it's a very interesting concept
remember that a lot of folks were shitting on electric guitars 50 years ago
BUT gibson makes me puke too sometimes, considering the way that they treat their workforce, and the expensiveness, and the quality that isn't always spectacular nowadays
@gonzagrm after listening the firebird i can say that Frusciante should have considered using one verses his strat. Everyone has their own taste but I just think it goes better with their sound. just my opinion.
I actually really like the Alice and Chains on this guitar :)
@Guitarvirtuoso666 they do VINTAGE GUITARS and only what the shop has...
@TheCapa612 Victim of Changes by Judas Priest & the 3rd song is "Outshined" by Soundgarden
Hey Phil, dunno watcha takin' but you should take more or less, you certainly got the wrong dose!!! :))
Love your vids!!
You rock!!!! :)
Cheers, from Germany,
Dee
I like yes this one
man, I'm looking for the "Cheap Sunglasses" video but I can't find it, remember which one it was?
