I'm sure you guys knew about Jimmy Page allowing a limited signature of his 1959 sunburst Gibson Les Paul that he bought from Joe Walsh in the early 1970s. If you don't know, there are only about 150 and they are made and aged with every dent and scratch, and faded. The org had a lot of custom Jimmy electronics too. Jimmy has played each of these and signed them. (A friend of mine played one and claims to be taking out a homeloan) Anyway, I heard the other day that one of these went for over $55,000. Not sure if that is what Gibson is asking.........

The neck of Page's guitar is thick at the nut and at the neck like a typical 1959 Les Paul, but it tapers to a super-slim depth in the middle. He made two other modifications, he put a push/pull pot in the rear volume control that reverses the phase and he replaced the original tuners with sealed, gold-plated Grovers to achieve some tone and sensitivity.


Found one Dealer asking $6000. May be that collectors paid more for the 1st ones made....

i love Jimmy's guitar, especially how one pick up is capped and the other is uncapped.

plus he could play the hell out of it!
