Jimmy Page - "Dragon" Telecaster

The "Dragon" was a blonde 1959 Telecaster given to Page by Jeff Beck, which Page painted with a psychedelic dragon design and played with the Yardbirds.

It was used to record the first Led Zeppelin album and used on the early tours during 1968-1969. It was later used to record the "Stairway To Heaven" solo.

Apparently, after "Stairway to Heaven", it was put away for a while, and then loaned to a roadie who refinished it in brown for some reason.

Jimmy Page - SG Doubleneck

Jimmy used his 1971 cherry Gibson EDS-1275 when playing live performances of "Stairway to Heaven" so he would not have to pause when switching from a six to a twelve string guitar.

Other instances in which he used it on stage were during performances of "The Song Remains The Same", "Gallows Pole", "Tangerine" and "The Rain Song," as can be seen in the Led Zeppelin concert film "The Song Remains the Same".

Page used the EDS-1275 for live performances almost exclusively, rather than in the studio (the only exception being the track "Carouselambra" on Led Zeppelin's 1979 album "In Through the Out Door".

Jimmy Page - Danelectro DC

Jimmy's Danelectro was made from the best parts of 2 1959 DC's, and fitted with a Badass bridge.

Used on stage for Babe I'm Gonna Leave You, White Summer/Black Mountain Side, In My Time Of Dying, and often for Kashmir (especially after 1977).

Jimmy Page - Les Paul "#1"

1959 Gibson Les Paul - Sunburst

Bought from Joe Walsh in the early 1970s. The neck is thick at the nut and at the neck heel, like a typical 1959 Les Paul, but it tapers to a super-slim depth in the middle. It was that way when Page acquired it, and he hasn't changed it.

He did make two other modifications: He put a push/pull pot in the rear volume control that reverses the phase, in order to get a tone like Peter Green or B.B. King. And he replaced the original tuners with sealed, gold-plated Grovers to achieve the exact tuning and sensitivity of the Les Paul Custom he had been playing with Led Zeppelin.
