Editing Peter Frampton (section)

==Equipment==
On the cover of the double live album ''Frampton Comes Alive'', Frampton plays a highly customized 1954 black Gibson Les Paul Custom that was given to him during a concert by his friend, Marc Mariana. While touring in 1980, the guitar and other instruments and stage equipment were placed on a cargo flight from Venezuela to Panama. The plane crashed shortly after takeoff and the cargo was presumed destroyed. However, the guitar apparently had survived and Frampton was able to recover it in 2011 after a collector spotted it in Curaçao .<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.npr.org/2012/01/07/144799712/framptons-dream-guitar-recovered-decades-later|title=Frampton's Dream Guitar, Recovered Decades Later|website=NPR.org}}</ref> He continues to play the Les Paul now known as the "Phenix".<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://legacy.gibson.com/Products/Electric-Guitars/2015/Custom/Peter-Frampton-Phenix-1954-Les-Paul-Custom.aspx|title=Peter Frampton "Phenix" 1954 Les Paul Custom|website=Legacy.com|access-date=17 July 2021}}</ref><ref>{{Cite web|url=https://www.thaliacapos.com/blogs/blog/peter-frampton-s-phenix-les-paul-the-guitar-that-rose-from-the-ashes|title=Peter Frampton's "Phenix" Les Paul: The Guitar That Rose From the Ashes|website=ThaliaCapos.com}}</ref>

Frampton was known as the artist who made the [[talk box]] famous. Frampton's talk box was used to transfer the guitar's sound through a plastic tube attached to a microphone. The effect is Frampton's melodic guitar simulating speech while asking the audience on the live track "Do You Feel Like We Do?" Frampton also now sells his own line of custom-designed "Frampton" products, including the talk box.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://www.frampton.com/framptone.html|title=Peter Frampton Frampton products|date=13 July 2006|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20060713161422/http://www.frampton.com/framptone.html|archive-date=13 July 2006}}</ref>

In 1987, Frampton played two natural-finish maple bodies [[Pensa Custom Guitars|Pensa-Suhr Strat types]], hand-made by New York-based John Suhr. He used a Coral electric sitar, given to him in the late 70s and previously owned by [[Jimi Hendrix]], on David Bowie's 1987 album ''[[Never Let Me Down]]''.<ref name=MusicianMag>{{Citation | last=Isler | first=Scott | title=David Bowie Opens Up – A Little | journal=[[Musician (magazine)|Musician]] |date=August 1987 | pages=60–73}}</ref>
