Page used a 1960s MSA 10 string pedal steel guitar on the songs "Tangerine" & "That's The Way" from the Led Zep III album. The exact year of the PSG is unknown.
Here's a little bit of an interview with Jimmy page from '77.
On "Tangerine" [Led Zeppelin III] it sounds as if you're playing a pedal steel.
I am. And on the first LP there's a pedal steel. I had never played steel before, but I just picked it up. There's a lot of things I do first time around that I haven't done before. In fact, I hadn't touched a pedal steel from the first album to the third. It's a bit of a pinch really from the things that Chuck Berry did. Nevertheless, it fits. I use pedal steel in "Your Time is Gonna Come" [Led Zeppelin]. It sounds like a slide or something. It's more out of tune on the first album because I hadn't got a kit to put it together.
You've also played other stringed instruments on records?
"Gallows Pole" [Led Zeppelin III] was the first time for banjo, and on "The Battle of Evermore," [Led Zeppelin IV] a mandolin was lying around. It wasn't mine, it was Jonesey's. I just picked it up, got the chords, and it sort of started happening. I did it more or less straight off. But, you see, that's fingerpicking again, going back to the studio days and developing a certain amount of technique -- at least enough to be adapted and used. My fingerpicking is a sort of cross between Pete Seeger, Earl Scruggs, and total incompetence.
