A user-uploaded photo shows Jimmy Page with a Gretsch Duo Jet electric guitar. The context of the image doesn't clarify if he owns the guitar or uses it in recordings or performances.
According to the technical specifications and custom system details provided by Pete Cornish on his official website, Jimmy Page utilized two Fender Tonemaster 100W Amp Heads as part of the guitar/effects/amps floor system that Cornish designed and built for him in 1993.
In the video titled "Led Zeppelin - Mimed in Stockholm (March 14th, 1969) - Communication Breakdown (Promo Video)," created by ledzepfilm and found on YouTube, Jimmy Page can be seen using a Marshall JTM45 45W Tube Guitar Amp Head along with a Sound City 4x12” cabinet.
Jimmy Page can be seen playing a 1968 Gibson B-25 acoustic during the recording of Led Zeppelin 2. He most likely used this for the song "Thank You" along with his Vox Phantom VII. It's unknown if he borrowed this guitar for the album recording or if he owned it.
Jimmy Page can be clearly seen using a Gibson SG Standard on stage in later years, as evidenced by the image provided.
1969 Gibson Non-reverse Firebird once owned by Jimmy Page. "It was also owned by John Bonham after he won it from Page in a game of Spoof."
Jimmy Page used the Vox UL730 amplifier for the first Led Zeppelin album, as noted in the description of the Dr. Robert "Whole Lotta Loud" pedal on Aclam's listing, which emphasizes the pedal's design inspired by Led Zeppelin and its recreation of the VOX UL730 amp sound.
The Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul is meticulously crafted to emulate the tones that made Page’s playing legendary. It features Gibson 496R and 500T pickups, paired with a unique set of push/pull controls that allow for series/parallel and coil-split options, enabling players to capture the wide range of sounds Page mastered throughout his career.
The guitar is equipped with the Transperformance self-tuning system, which allows Page to choose from a number of different tunings without turning a knob.
Jimmy has three guitars with the Transperformance system built-in – one orange, one gold, and one purple. His favorite among them seems to be the gold top, at least based on how frequently he used it compared to the others.
Jimmy Page was infrequently spotted with a 1960s Gibson SG Junior, notably during a private charity performance at producer Glyn Johns' birthday party in February 1984, where it was believed to be a borrowed instrument.
He used blackface Fender Dual Showman amplifiers with Fender 2×15 cabinets in mid to late 1967, particularly during his time with The Yardbirds and the very early days of Led Zeppelin.
Jimmy Page used the PRS SE Custom 24 during the 1998 Walking Into Clarksdale tour, as evidenced by an image available on Equipboard.
According to the artist section on Orange Amps' website, Jimmy Page uses the Orange Custom Shop 50.
“It was just the best amp that I’d ever had in my collection. And it was so roadworthy,” Page says. “It did all those Led Zeppelin tours, and all the recordings,” Page says. “It did flippin’ everything.”
Gibson released this SJ-200 modeled after Jimmy’s that he used on Led Zeppelin’s debut album.
Jimmy Page is documented using a Yamaha SA-30T guitar during the 1972 Led Zeppelin tour in Japan. The Yamaha SA series includes several semi-hollow guitars, and the defining feature of the SA-30T is its thick tremolo arm, which is visible in the image provided as proof.
I couldn't find any photos online of him playing this guitar live on this tour, and I haven't found any further information about him playing it live or on recordings, or even owning it, since then. Based on all of this, it's highly likely that he only played it temporarily during rehearsals backstage on the Japanese tour.

Jimmy Page came into possession of a 1971 Fender Stratocaster in 1991 during his time in Lake Tahoe for the Coverdale/Page recording sessions. According to Guitar World, the guitar was initially given to Page by Robbie Cade, the lead guitarist of Public Eye, during a performance at the local Legends bar. Page played the vintage Stratocaster on stage during impromptu jam sessions, and ultimately, Cade gifted the instrument to him. The CBS-era Stratocaster features a much-faded Olympic White finish with road scars, an oversized headstock, a maple neck and fretboard, and a trio of EMG single coils. This information is validated by Matt Owen in Guitar World.
According to The Gear Used By Jimmy Page on Led Zeppelin IV, Jimmy Page’s 1961 Danelectro 3021/DC59 was fitted with a Leo Quan Badass Wraparound Bridge, replacing the stock bridge.
