Gibson Limited Run Jimmy Page Les Paul #1.

View by appointment only – Please phone

An Ultra-rare chance to purchase a piece of rock ' n' roll history, this is number 6 of only 26 guitars produced worldwide. Each one has been hand signed and played by Page himself, with the original strings left on for authenticity.

In creating this guitar, Gibson's Custom, Art & Historic division built an instrument that replicates the unique neck shape and custom electronics of Page's favorite guitar. "Les Paul #1," as the Rock and Roll Hall of Famer calls his personal guitar, is a 1959 sunburst Gibson Les Paul that he bought from Joe Walsh in the early 1970s.

The neck of Page's guitar is thick at the nut and at the neck heel, like a typical 1959 Les Paul, but it tapers to a super-slim depth in the middle. It was that way when Page acquired it, and he hasn't changed it. He did make two other modifications: He put a push/pull pot in the rear volume control that reverses the phase, in order to get a tone like Peter Green or B.B. King. And he replaced the original tuners with sealed, gold-plated Grovers to achieve the exact tuning and sensitivity of the Les Paul Custom he had been playing with Led Zeppelin.

Page has a long affiliation with the Les Paul. His legendary hard rock riffs, first with the Yardbirds and later with Led Zeppelin, were a forerunner to the heavy metal genre, although he refused to be classified. He also wrote or co-wrote many of Zeppelin's classic songs and produced their albums. The Yardbirds were inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame in 1992, while Led Zeppelin was honored in 1995.

The guitar comes with special display case including a bow - representing Jimmy`s famous bow/Les Paul stage performances.

All documentation is supplied with this guitar and as you would expect the guitar has been carefully stored since new and never played.

These don't become available very often - don't miss this chance to get your hands on one of the most collectable/ sought after guitars ever made.
