SN# 92895437

Finish: Light honeyburst, nitrocellulose type

Materials: Highly figured solid tiger flame maple top; solid Honduras mahogany neck and body; solid rosewood fingerboard.

Hardware: All original vintage style gold hardware includes twin Jimmy Page custom Burstbucker pickups, aluminum stop tailipiece, ABR-1 Tuneomatic bridge, Grover Rotomatic tuners, gold bonnet volume and tone knobs, Jimmy Page signature cream pickguard with nickel support bracket, 3 way switch, 'Standard' truss rod cover.

Notes: Introduced in mid-1952, the Gibson Les Paul Model has remained the worlds' most iconic electric guitar to this day. The stop tailpiece and Tuneomatic bridge were introduced in 1955, the gold barrel knobs were standard through 1960, and PAF humbucking pickups graced the model beginning in mid-1957. The following year, Gibson introduced the sunburst finish and figured maple top on the Les Paul Standard, and this handsome guitar combines all those classic features.

Built between 1995 and 1999, the Jimmy Page Signature model is a re-creation of the second of Page's fabled LPs. Built with the elliptical neck profile of the original, the guitar is also fitted with push-pull knobs to coil-tap the four conductor 469R and 500T pickups, just the way Jimmy had his original guitar wired. The neck has the long tenon of the original, the back is non-weight-relieved, and the fretwork on the bound rosewood fingerboard are correct medium width, in the late 50's style.

This gleaming instrument is crafted with an handsomely figured bookmatched tiger flame maple top, a gently faded honeyburst finish, and all-gold hardware to complete the faithful vintage appearance. The coil-tapped humbuckers lend versatility to the vintage tone, and the elliptical neck profile is particularly comfy in hand, with smooth, low action over a fresh high-precision setup. With all-original finish and hardware, the instrument shows minimal playwear, and only a few scattered lacquer nicks here and there. The original black hardshell case has an emerald green lining, with Page's signature emblazoned on the shroud, and includes all original tags, paperwork, and Certificate of Authenticity.

A worthy tribute to a true legend of the electric guitar. One only: call now.

Setup: Trussrod tension and neck relief adjusted; bridge height adjusted; bridge compensation set; bridge wheels and tuners lubricated; fingerboard and bridge oiled; body and neck cleaned and hand polished.
