Seller's description

A 1997 Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul has just arrived! This signature model, produced from 1995 to 1999, is based on the 1959 (or 1958) Les Paul—commonly known as “No. 1”—that was cherished by Led Zeppelin guitarist Jimmy Page! While Les Pauls from the late 1950s typically feature a solid, thick neck shape, this model faithfully reproduces the unique reshaped neck—said to have been present on Page’s “No. 1” from the moment he acquired it—based on the actual instrument.

This is a modified instrument that has undergone overall aging treatment and parts replacement. The finish has peeled off in some areas of the body, and the body and headstock feature crack effects, while various parts have been aged to recreate dents and signs of wear. As a result, it is difficult to distinguish these marks from actual wear and tear accumulated over the years. The pickguard has been replaced, and the metal parts show general signs of wear, with some noticeable tarnish. The strap pins have been replaced with locking pins, but the strap hardware and original strap pins are not included. This instrument also features meticulously crafted modifications to its electronic components. It is equipped with the “MR. JIMMY PU Ver. 12” signature pickup, jointly developed by Grinning Dog and Jimmy Sakurai. This model focuses on the live sound of Led Zeppelin from a
