Rig Rundown – Peter Frampton
Article and photos: http://bit.ly/PeterFramptonRR
Guitar icon Peter Frampton invites Premier Guitar’s John Bohlinger to his Nashville rehearsal studio to talk and demonstrate his sprawling live setup.
The “Phenix” is Frampton’s famous, modified 1954 Les Paul Custom from the cover of Frampton Comes Alive. The name refers to the mythical bird that was raised from the ashes. This guitar, thought to be destroyed and lost for over 30 years—even surviving a plane crash in Venezuela—recently found its way back home to Frampton. To commemorate this historic guitar, Gibson has recreated a very small, exclusive run of reproductions with every burn, scratch, ding, and crack faithfully copied to match Frampton’s original.
This 1960 Gibson Les Paul Standard previously belonged to famed songwriter JJ Cale and is affectionately named “Paulina.” With the exception of the bridge and tuning keys, it’s completely original. The original bridge was so badly worn that accurately intonating the instrument was impossible. It was replaced by a relic’d TonePro bridge to keep the guitar aesthetically correct.

Such an unassuming character. A true professional sharing stories…just great. Love it. Thank you Peter. 07/24
MR. PETER FRAMPTON Wow simply wow to learn so much and feel all of the love he has towards his craft. I have always been a fan since I was able to walk " Frampton comes alive" was playing..but to be inside his head and understand the meaning of Tone and the reason for the use of certain effects and his driven passion for that sound he hears. Simply Amazing what an amazing Interview and Simply put A Legend.. Mr Peter Frampton
Ain't that the family Guy?
If you haven’t already, now is the time to vote for him for rock n roll hall of fame!!!!
The rock and roll Hall of Fame you have my vote Peter!
❤ Lines on my face❤
Frampton is the MAN.
Love the phoenix, what an amazing player and guy. Legend. By the way please put old pickup surrounds on the phoenix haha match with the binding
Cool thing about Frampton, like Miles Davis, all the leads are improvised, never to be played exactly the same way again live. It just so happens that the ones from one recording are etched in our heads.
"it's ok if I play a bit, right?" … Absolutely Sir, do not stop
Awesome to hear the history from one of my heroes… Rock On PF
Credit to John Bohlinger for this. What an amazing interview and that les Paul sounds incredible in his hands.
To Peter and his audio technicians, does the Octonaut hyperdrive exist in Frampton gear line up?
I love how Peter didn't trash anything that didn't work for HIM. I guess with his enquiring mind he knows that he should try everything there is to see what he DOES gel with, knowing that not everything WILL but that's just a mismatch and not an inherrent fault. Maybe he approaches people in the exact same way.
My favourite moment has to be when he coyly attempted to forgive his rig size by swiveling like Betty Boop and declaring that his car was small though. ????
Thank you Mr. Frampton.
You are an absolute legend and consummate professional.
Used that MXR Phase 90 on Lines on My Face. "Lines on My Face" reminds me of The Eagles. Don Felder would tell Joe Walsh (and vice-versa) that he was "showing" (aka Lines on HIS Face). (actually it was 'residue from lines' that would be on his face) lol. Those were the days …. large bowls of white powder that musicians would bury their faces in. Then they'd need at least one or more "714" so they could crash. Otherwise, they'd be up all night! I think Steve Lukather told a story where they ran out and had to snort residue that had fallen onto the studio mixing board.
Legend
JJ's Paul? Incredible….brilliant
Mr Frampton's autobiography arrived to me- the same day I met him AND his family! How Kool is that?????
Lol the interviewer is wearing an Ace Frehley shirt!
Man, PF has a lot of gear.
that many "LUTHIERS" and the bridge isn't drilled in the right place. OK.. move that bass side back 1/8" and raise the damned thing up a few mm.
That guitar has quite a wild story to it.
I'm trying to be kind, but I'd hate to be tethered to all that crap!
Pure gold!
I love the musicians willing to show their equipment off themselves as opposed to getting an roadie to do it. In most of these rig rundowns the roadies don't seem to know all that much about the equipment they're charged with looking after…Can't tell you how many times I've heard John ask a roadie a particular question, and the roadie says "I don't know what's in it, or I don't…"….
Haha what a cokehead.
What an intro!!!
He was never the same after Cypress Hill stole his symphony orchestra.
The nicest rockstar and he still have that lovely smile.
1976, 16, 1st real job, 1st paycheck I bought Frampton comes alive and steely Dan the royal scam. Wore them out.
Amazing timeless incredible TALENT… Rock On Peter!!!
Better today then then …
Monochrome Chuck Taylors❗️
"Lines on my face," is Framptons, "stairway to heaven."
What a dude!
when it comes to gear I'm definitely living in the past, but unless they do different versions of a song I would literally have a computer kick in any effect pre-set for each and every song so all I would have to do is just play the freaking note I'm sure the technology is out there, I was a musician for many years, but I never got so extensive in my gear selection , so I guess my point is it takes a lot of freaking work to remember what effect at one point of the song and naturally which song????
Great video and PF is a gent. Have to say that most of us are not clever enough to put it together or use it!! Amazing rig tho
PETER FRAMPTON MY GOD BLESS THE EARTH, YOU HAVE NO MORE HAIRS!!!!!??⚋⚋⚋WHAT'S HAPPENED ???????? I M BE JUST LIKE YOU, NO MORE BEAUTIFUL HAIRS…… WHERE'S ITS NOW , OUR 2 HEADS LIKE 2 MYSTICAL EGGS, READY TO BE EATING ????????????✌✌✌➖➖???????????? .. DO YOU FEEL LIKE I DO NEVER DIE, YEAHHHHHHHH, OK SEE. YOU TOGETHER IN THE NEXT ONE, PLEASE DON'T BE LATE,…..? ????????????????????????????????????✌✌✌✌????????????????????⚋⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚊⚋⚋⚋⚋
Frampton is AWSOME. I could listen to this guy talk for days. Best rundown ever.
lets find that Martin D 45 and get it back to its owner!
Peter Frampton I know what it means to have my guitar stolen. I had a 2001 American strat that my mom had to die for to give it to me. (Used insurance money to buy this guitar ) hey man named Angela Hayden from downtown Cincinnati Ohio stole my guitar and the police I guess didn't believe me cuz I'm handicap a cerebral palsy, but it was mine and I played it fairly well despite my circumstances. I'm still pissed off about it and it's 2022. The cops laughed at me or should I say Cincinnati police. They had them a rip roaring laugh.
I SAW PETER FRAMPTON AT BASS PERFORMANCE HALL IN FORT WORTH- TEXAS VERSION OF CARNEGIE HALL. WHAT A DREAM. NOW THE LORD WILL ALLOW MY DAD, FELICIA AND I TO MEET PETER. ????
Read his book. No one will ever want to be a rock star.
A LEGENDARY Guitar!! Play the Phoenix or let Salma Hayek sit on my face, that's a toughy.
Sweet.
LEGEND
Totally different run down, you can tell how much Peter loves his gear and loves to talk about. I would say his ego is not in the clouds like a lot of artists!
