An Exceptional January 1969 Les Paul Standard GoldTop With P-90s.
This January 1969 Les Paul Standard weighs 9.40 lbs. and has very fat nut width of just over 1 11/16 inches and a standard Gibson scale length of 24 3/4 inches. Solid one-piece mahogany body with single cream binding and maple top with gold finish. One-piece mahogany neck with a huge profile, the early long tenon neck joint but with the wider headstock. Rosewood fretboard with 22 original jumbo frets and inlaid pearl trapezoid position markers. Headstock with inlaid pearl "Gibson" logo and gold silk-screened "Les Paul Model." Individual Kluson Deluxe 'double-line' tuners with double-ring Keystone plastic buttons and "D-169400 / Patent No." stamped inside. Serial number "540878" stamped into the back of the headstock. Single-layer black plastic truss-rod cover with two screws. Two P-90 pickups with really hot outputs of 7.74k and 8.11k. Cream plastic pickguard. Four controls (two volume, two tone) on lower treble bout plus three-way selector switch on upper bass bout. Gold plastic bell-shaped knobs with metal tops. Gibson Tune-O-Matic retainer bridge with metal saddles and separate stud tailpiece. The pots are stamped: "137 6850" (CTS last week of December 1968) and the two capacitors are the black cylindrical Sprague "Black Beauty" type. This is one of the earliest 68/69 GoldTops with a typical '59 Les Paul neck that is to die for! There are two small surface marks on the top just to the treble-side of the lower strap-pin and a few small 'dings'/marks on the edges. Overall this wonderful forty-two year old Les Paul Standard is in exceptionally fine condition (9.00) condition. Complete with the original Gibson 22 page hang-tag booklet. Housed in the original Gibson three-latch black rectangular (rounded corners) hardshell case with pale orange plush lining (9.00).

Man, I've never seen anyone who can play both guitar parts to "Acrobat" on the same guitar at the same time. That's incredible! I'm nearly sure that higher part is dubbed in on the original.

I literally come back to this video on a regular basis for this sole reason. I just realized tho it’s because he had the Guitar in drop C sharp as opposed to C sharp standard like the original. So it’s easier to play the octaves. Still very cool and impressive. I love phil

Yeah I learned how to play both parts to the song by watching his hands in this video, it's actually how I discovered the song He started playing the riff and I thought "Fuck me that is fuuuuuuucking sick" So happy and grateful to Phil x whenever I play thos riff And I think you're right it sounds like an over dub in the studio track

was this in 2012? Really? man how times flies. I always loved Phill, and sometimes, a guy like me just want to listen to Phill play an awesome Les Paul. oh and...''sounds like a 45 played at 33...'' the internet thinks:....crikets....cricket sounds....crickets sound.... like 4% of the audience has an idea of what Phill is talking about. Records kids!...Records!... Love ya Phill, hope all is well.

yo man, you gotta remember when we shoot a vid, we shoot 8-10 in a day. that means vids for 8-10 weeks meaning nothing's going to change in 8-10 weeks so have a little patience. also.... why we can't turn up my lavalier mic when i'm singing is 'cause the ER was so loud, it got recorded onto that mic so when my voice got turned up so did the not so pleasant lavalier recording of the ER 4 feet away. all this will be resolved for the next batch probably in 4 weeks. thanks for all the comments.

This is the second version with the wider headstock, the first model in 68 had the normal Les Paul shape but shallower headstock angle. this one has that too, gotta say it sounds sweet.

First: This guitar sounds just amazing, I'm not a fan of P-90s, but these sound awesome Second: Every time I watch one of Phils videos I get a huge urge for playing, it's just that his energy and playing is really inspiring. And now I find myself in a dilemma, study for tests or rock out? I think I'll go with the second :D

In 1980, I purchased one of these. 1 piece mahogany back, chunky 1 piece mahogany neck. The finish on the face had been removed and left natural. The saddles were nylon. The machines had been swapped out for an old set of grovers. It was my first les paul. I paid the full asking price of $250.00. The only part of it that I still have is the lightweight tailpiece, that I now have on my 1973 goldtop deluxe.

Andrew was pointing out that F and E# are the same thing (enharmonic). I don't think he was speaking of their FUNCTION. The OP asked how to tune down to drop C#, to which robolew correctly replied to tune down a half step/tone. Gibbs apparently had a problem calling it a half tone instead of half step. I merely pointed out the two terms are interchangeable. The only syntax mistake robolew made was he should have said to tune the low string down an ADDITIONAL whole step to C#.
