Jimmy Page

As noted by this Rolling Stone article, Jimmy Page used the Gibson EDS-1275 to play "Stairway to Heaven" Gibson created a EDS-1275 Signature Model for Jimmy Page in 2007.

Jimmy Page worked with Gibson to create his "Number Two" signature guitar based on his own 1959 Les Paul Standard.

This Gibson article discussed Jimmy Page's Black Beauty, saying, "Although more often associated with his #1 and #2 sunburst Les Pauls, Jimmy Page used a ‘Black Beauty’ Les Paul with 3-pickups and a Bigsby for most of his session work and solo singles (1963-68), as well as using it for the recording of 'Whole Lotta Love'. He bought in 1962 for £185 ($5300 today). He did take it on tour with Led Zeppelin from January 1970 through 1971 but it was stolen at an airport in September ‘71. Page even placed an ad in Rolling Stone offering a reward for its return, but it was never recovered. The compilation of early work, Hip Young Guitar Slinger, credited to Jimmy Page and his Heavy Friends shows mid-‘60s Page with the guitar on the cover."

The session work is confirmed in Ultimate Guitar interview. "...then one of those Gibson "Black Beauties" which stayed with me for a long time until some thieving magpie took it to his nest. That's the guitar I did all the '60s sessions on."

In the same interview, Page says he traded his Gretsch Chet Atkins guitar for the Les Paul. "The Gibson "Black Beauty" Les Paul Custom. I was one of the first people in England to have one, but I didn't know that then. I just saw it on the wall, had a go with it, and it was good. I traded a Gretsch Chet Atkins I'd had before for the Les Paul. "

After almost 46 years ago, this guitar was finally returned to him.

Jimmy Page famously used this guitar with Led Zeppelin throughout and classics such as Kashmir, and still used it now, it can be seen in the documentary 'It Might Get Loud' with Jack White and U2's the edge.

Jimmy Page started using the 1969 Gibson Les Paul DeLuxe 'No. 3' ca. August 1970, presumably as a replacement for the 1960 Gibson Les Paul Custom 'Black Beauty' according to this article.

This custom made Fender Telecaster is known as Dragon Telecaster and was played by Jimmy Page.

This YouTube video showcases Jimmy Page at a live concert in London 1969 playing the Fender Dragon Telecaster for the Led Zeppelin song, "Dazed and Confused".

"I still have it,” he told Guitar World in 1998. “But it’s a tragic story. I went on tour with [a] ’59 Les Paul that I bought from Joe Walsh, and when I got back, a friend of mine had kindly painted over my paint job. He said, ‘I’ve got a present for you.’ He thought he had done me a real favor. As you can guess, I wasn't real happy about that. His paint job totally screwed up the sound and the wiring, so only the neck pickup worked. I salvaged the neck and put it on my brown Tele string bender that I used in the Firm [in 1985 and 1986]. As for the body, it will never be seen again!"

Jimmy Page talks about the guitar he used for "Whole Lotta Love" in this interview with the Wall Street Journal, saying, "To get my guitar to sound surreal, I detuned it and pulled on the strings for a far-out effect. I was playing a Sunburst 1958 Les Paul Standard guitar I had bought from [James Gang guitarist] Joe Walsh in San Francisco when we were out there on tour. The Standard had this tonal versatility, allowing me to get a blistering high pitch."

"Jimmy Page acquired the 1964 Fender 'Lake Placid' Stratocaster ca. April 1975 and used it at the first dates of the 1975 Earls Court shows for No Quarter and Over The Hills And Far Away. It was also used in 1979 and 1980 for In The Evening. In the studio, Page used the Fender Stratocaster in the Presence sessions, on For Your Life and Hots On For Nowhere." - Led-Zeppelin.org

Page used the 1953 Fender Telecaster on the 1977 US Tour for Hot Dog and Ten Years Gone. He switched the maple neck for the rosewood neck from the 1959 Fender Telecaster for the 1979 Knebworth tour. He also used it in 1983 on the ARMS tour, in 1984 with Roy Harper at English festival dates and in 1985-86 with The Firm.
