Jimmy Page (pictured 1960 age 16) called his Futurama a Grazioso because, like some examples, his had a "Grazioso" logo on the headstock.
"That’s the first electric guitar I got," Jimmy told me. "The one before it, a Hofner, my dad bought, but after…" he pauses and then laughs out loud. "I don’t know, maybe he was psychic and he knew what was coming. Because there’s a whole procession of guitars that came into my life over the next few years. But that was the first one, the Grazioso. It looked and felt like an electric guitar, even though it wasn’t a Fender."
Where did he buy it? "I got that in Bell’s in Surbiton. That shop was where the other guitar came from, too, the Hofner. Accordions and things, they had, but they didn’t have things like Gibsons and Fenders. Who did in those days?"
The short answer is: pretty much nobody.
