Look under 1959 Fender Telecaster
Used throughout first Zeppelin LP except for Babe I'm Gonna Leave You. (electric guitar on that track was the Danelectro)
Not used on the second LP.
Used for the guitar solo in Stairway To Heaven as well as the solo riffs in The Song Remains The Same.
Also used on Ten Years Gone and All My Love.
Page's primary guitar in The Firm.
Is that B-bender Tele supposed to be the same one he used with the Yardbirds and early LZ days?
I always assumed they were different.
And in one of those shots it looks like he has a maple neck.
Aside from its evolving paintjob, the main practical difference btw his '59 Tele and most box-bridge Teles is the toploader bridge.
You can get one from GuitarFetish dot calm, I believe.
From what I understand, the "Jimmy Page Tele" wasn't a B-bender at all. The B-bender he used was a completely different guitar, but I could be wrong.
I also thought I heard that someone botched the paint job and now it's brown.
Other than that, it was simply a 1958 Blonde Telecaster with a top-loader bridge and a rosewood fretboard that Jeff Beck gave him. Funky paint job too.

He also had a B-Bender installed in his red les paul. (Can be seen in The Song Remains The Same film prior to the installation)
Just say "no" to junk, kids.Quote:

-Huck, currently reading a pretty compelling & detailed Page biography.
He appears in the "ARMS" concert ripping up "Tulsa Time" with a black Tele but the film quality is so bad its hard to get a good look at it.
You are wrong.Quote:

I surely did not mean to befoul anyone's Wheaties.

If there is a more elusive instrument, I have not yet encountered it!

Hey Huckleberry, do you believe everything you read in books or on the internet? If so, I've got some great swampland in Florida to sell you.
The ONLY valid source would be Jimmy Page and/or his guitar tech. And being a Zeppelin fan for over 30 years, I've read many interviews with Jimmy Page along with seeing actual footage of this guitar with Zep, the Arms Tour and The Firm. Same guitar that he installed a maple neck on for the 70s tour but put back the rosewood neck for 79 and going forward. He also stated that routing out the guitar to put the B-Bender did chage the sound of the guitar.
Rude. I was pretty certain my last post had show I was having doubts about what I had previously posted.Quote:

The wonderful world of the internet where someone says something which MUST be true in fact is not but BECOMES truth because no one challenges the assertions with FACTS.Quote:

The gutarist of a japanese Led Zep cover band seems to have had a replica made for him. I'm sure there are a few guitar painters out there who could reproduce this. (I have see a website where someone replicated Eric Clapton's Cream SG)

You then respond like its a joke.
I'm not laughing.
I'm just trying to help people with answers to questions. Check my posts. The original creator of the thread wanted to know where he could get a copy of that guitar, and I did a search and provided a link which can help him.
I'd LOVE to have an exact copy of this guitar!
I pretty much blame Jimmy Page for giving me the GAS all these years anyway!
