[KaZu]

yeah i found that site, too.  I love jimmy page, just wish i could afford the stuff he used

Right on fellow page fan!

[shughey]

Yeah, the funny thing is guitars that he had cost him nothing. The telecaster was given to him from Jeff Beck and the Les Paul was a gift from none other than Joe Walsh. Page was originally going to stay with the telecaster but he fell in love with the look and feel of the LP when he played it. Also his early amps like the Vox, Hiwatts, and Rickenbackers were practically 'free' because he obtained them while in The Yardbirds.

Yeah, its similar to the celeberties here in america getting Ipods etc here for free from the companies...but different a little.


Talent takes you far

[shughey]

I also thought it was funnyhow they apparently could be some nice guitars for a rather cheap price compared to todays market. Kazu, i'm not sure if you knew but if you are interesting in THe Yardbirds Page stuff like I am check out www.led-zeppelin.org under the multimedia section you can find all the recording from The Yardbird's live with Jimmy Page. It has stuff like Shapres of Things, Drinking Muddy Water (which is a renamed song of Mannish Boy, Train Kept a rollin', and others.

here is a complete list of the bands setup from led-zeppelin.org

Jimmy Page

Guitars
1958 Fender Telecaster: A gift from Jeff Beck. Jimmy's primary guitar used in the 1968-69 tours. Painted psychadelic colors.
1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (No. 1): The most used guitar which Jimmy Page has relied on since the early days of Led Zeppelin. It's finish has faded through the years. The serial number has been lost during neck repairs and the replacement bridge pickup has long been without a cover. The original white Kluson tuners have been replace by gold-plated Grovers.
1958 Gibson Les Paul Standard (No. 2): A gift from Joe Walsh. The tuners have been replaced. The neck has been shaved to resemble No. 1. The bridge has been rounded over for easier access to individual strings in use with the violin bow. Most famously, this guitar features a pair of spring-loaded buttons under the scratch plate offering new pickup configurations. One of the buttons puts the pickup into series or parallel and the other offers regular or out-of-phase tones. In addition, the tone and volume pots have been replaced by two pairs of push/pulls giving coil-tapping on either pickup or the possibility of employing all four coils in parallel. Serial number is 91703
Danelectro: Put together from the best bits of two Danelectros and fitted with a Badass bridge. The holes for the original bridge are still evident. Used for live performances of Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, White Summer/Black Mountainside, In My Time Of Dying and in later performances of Kashmir.

60s Lake Placid Blue Fender Stratocaster: This guitar was first used on tour in 1979. Was used specifically on stage for In The Evening.
1966 Cream Fender Stratocaster: Used by Jimmy on Led Zeppelin's 1980 European tour in for All My Love.

Four speaker outputs and a feature that allowed bleding of channels, plus Hi-Boost switch. Bundled with UX-1516 6x12 Guitar Celestion Speaker cabinet for $1400. Pic 2
Hiwatt 50: Amps seen in the 1970 tour.
Marshall SLP-1959: 100 watt amp that Jimmy had rewired to 200 watts.

Theremin unit: Can be heard live on Whole Lotta Love and No Quarter.
Gizmotron: The Gizmotron was a hexaphonic mechanical string bowing device invented by Lol Creme and Kevin Godley of 10CC. It never took off and was some kind of financial disaster. It has been described by Jimmy as a 'hurdy gurdy type of thing'. It existed in two versions: 4 or 6 strings (bass or guitar). The Gizmotron works by having a rubber wheel for each string and a key for each wheel, such that pressing down on the key engages the wheel with a rotating shaft and the guitar string. The shaft rotates the wheel which then excites the string. Jimmy may have used it on Carouselambra and In The Evening to produce the drone sound.

Strings: Ernie Ball Super Slinky (Electric), Ernie Ball Earthwoods (Acoustic)

Yeah, the funny thing is guitars that he had cost him nothing.  The telecaster was given to him from Jeff Beck and the Les Paul was a gift from none other than Joe Walsh.  Page was originally going to stay with the telecaster but he fell in love with the look and feel of the LP when he played it.  Also his early amps like the Vox, Hiwatts, and Rickenbackers were practically 'free' because he obtained them while in The Yardbirds.

Yeah no kidding, it seems we spend months and years scrounging together money to buy a guitar with (I'm still setting aside 600 for an Alvarez classical) but if you ever make it big and you suddenly have money to buy good instruments with...everybody just starts giving you guitars. It's really not all that fair.

Yeah, the funny thing is guitars that he had cost him nothing.  The telecaster was given to him from Jeff Beck and the Les Paul was a gift from none other than Joe Walsh.  Page was originally going to stay with the telecaster but he fell in love with the look and feel of the LP when he played it.  Also his early amps like the Vox, Hiwatts, and Rickenbackers were practically 'free' because he obtained them while in The Yardbirds.

Yeah no kidding, it seems we spend months and years scrounging together money to buy a guitar with (I'm still setting aside 600 for an Alvarez classical) but if you ever make it big and you suddenly have money to buy good instruments with...everybody just starts giving you guitars. It's really not all that fair.

thats not all exactly true. he used the Tele for quite a while till one of his arse hole friends took it and repainted it cause the moron didnt like the colour at which point Page threw the guitar out and started using the Les Paul. I wouldnt mind getting my hands on his pedals and the amp that he had rewired to 200 watts. I wonder if I could have my 15 watt rewired to a 30 watt, save me money on buying a new amp

Imagine how big of a room that would be to hold all of his stuff and to be able to play it all.

No, that's not true. I've read interviews and own magazines w/ interviews. The guitar was repainted recently not back in the '60's and 70's. He used the LP more often because he "fell in love with the looks and feel" of the guitar. He originally didn't want the LP because the tele' was doing the job fine but he fell in the love with the LP. It wasn't because it was repainted. That happened decades later. His friend painted it as a present and it ending up screwing up the electronics and disabling the neck pup.

Get your story straight...
