Jimmy Page Gibson Les Paul

[bassgypsy00]

I have a guitar world mag (May/2005) that states this guitar would fetch 1.9 million dollars. If that's all the money I had, I would still buy it!

[Rockmahsocksoff]

My left ear enjoyed this very much, One day I will get an les paul myself from gibson.

In the mean time, I'm going to get a Epiphone version

[jeffhardy664]

i have the same guitar exact same

[selectjed1]

its funny because i will someday own this guitar

[LoudnProud42]

@selectjed1 what?

[theotherbigbrother]

is my 1960 classic RI made from this?

[gavquinn]

It sounds like the cameraman is upping the British accent.

[ThrashRoC]

my Idol !

Page & this guitar = Coolest Rock sound EVER !

Legend !

[poseidon26ful]

this is so awesome thanks for puting this on;-) i hope there will be a the that page shows his guitar colecion begous he,s menny awesome cool askicking guitars remeber the telecasters and the awesome red les paul that he was playing back in the 90tis with al the pres buttons on it you can see it on the dvd from led zeppelin unplught

[usalespaul59]

This is the coolest video I've seen in a looooooooooong time!

[qaws12321able]

which pickups does the phase inverter invert the phase on?

[donnjuansohn]

@qaws12321able I assume on the bridge PU. because the push/pull knob is the one for that PU's tone

[WLADESMO100]

YES....MASTER!!!!!!!!!!

[afz3003]

never seen him this close to a camera still looks as cool as ever

[Geotubest]

The one reason I took up guitar. Thank you Mr. Page. 

[MajkeTiTvoje]

this guitar made history

[acousticguitarfan]

Wow! This guitar is legendary! Jimmy Page is the quintessential guitar GOD who has influenced so many out there including me! Thanks for posting this video! It is fascinating listening to Jimmy talk about how he acquired this guitar from Joe Walsh, another legendary guitarist! This is the reason why I have a Les Paul!

[CorporalGoogoo]

My left ear enjoyed this.

[RJNStudios]

@CorporalGoogoo lmao



[ScratchMeLickMe]

I have the same sweater!

[Geotubest]

@ScratchMeLickMe Really? who makes it? where'd you get it?

[ScratchMeLickMe]

Joe Walsh claims jimmy walk away with it at a party. come on Joe!

[ScratchMeLickMe]

I wanna know how often he has changed the pickups

[CusterFlux]

He's such a talented, sweet an unassuming guy ( groupie stories aside ;) ... hope he writes an autobiography one of these days!

[MrAgitator]

This man was worshipped by every guy in my high school. And when the drummer died. And the end of Led zeppelin was told. A Saddness swept across the land. and all we had left was KISS playing over the speakers in the lunch room. ugh!

[antonis0035tc]

17 of november!!!! that is the date i was born xD... but i was born in 1995.. -.-

[username91ification]

@antonis0035tc

Me too lol.

[antonis0035tc]

@username91ification WE ARE SCORPIONS!!!!!! 8|

[prototypefigures]

I was fortunate to buy one of these second hand (signature editions) some 10 years ago..Can anyone tell me the year it was made

Serial number 915865XX The last 2 numbers i have removed.

Help is appreciated.Thanks

[beatlesman369]

Stupid question: can you reverse phase a single coil?

[PBANDSNOW]

@beatlesman369 Yes, definitely. Jimmy Page had the middle position of his Telecaster wired out of phase.

[PENTADACTYLON]

My mom dont want buy me this guitar....

[boddumblues]

Close your eyes and you'll hear Nigel tufnel talk :-)

[gavofleon]

what does the push pull knob do?

[longshanlung]

@gavofleon It switches the pickups from humbucker to single coil and vice versa.

[MrBarnardoo98]

Can someone please explain what les paul is the number one and what les paul is the number two. Because i keep getting so confused with what les paul is Jimmy's number one the one with the treble pickup cover removed or the one with the cover on ?

[ckolonko86]

@MrBarnardoo98 #1 has the cover removed and the #2 has two switches under the scratchplate.

[sa65cn1]

I think he has some Chinese in his ansestry.

[darcut1]

where are all the glam clothes? a myth in human being clothes

[MENSFORTHHILL99]

Notice how Nigel Tufnel never sold or gave him a guitar. That's because Tufnel always played better solos and thought Page was not worthy.

[scottleeper]

the GOD SPEAKS!!! aiahhhhh ahhh!

[zerc1]

I really like the fact that Mr. Page would land his precious guitar, so that it can be replicated. That's a very generous thing to do, it will allow others to be able to play on a guitar used by a legend of RnR.

[thewizardofaz]

I'm wondering how he can get the split coil/out of phase sound with a Gibson pickup's standard braided wire. Did he have the pickup rewired for 4 wires instead?

[emvir8gto8]

what type of grovers does he use?

[ddayxable]

I was jk lol

[PBANDSNOW]

This is guitarist porn. Best thing ever.

[iliealonetilldeath]

@PBANDSNOW amen



[ddayxable]

Who's Jimmy page?

[kyle2796]

@ddayxable do you live under a rock?

[MrArchfail]

Wow,wow,wow,why does is he even touching the guitar ?I'd never let people near my instrument lol

[MOSKII58]

man if that guy ever messed up his #1 or if it got damaged or stolen, like Eric's les paul i wouldn't want to be around Jimmy for that... i wonder if he still has his Black custom les paul & that cool Fender Tele..that was my favorite, the tele i thought he sounded the best w/that fender w/ the cool paint job dragon or somethg, but i llike the way he used it for the BBC shows i think it was- where the kids sat on the floor & Plant introduced them they were on fire and that tele "Screamed"

[daviejtube95]

@MOSKII58 the tele changed to a brown body with a b bender he played it during 1977 tour i think and his black beauty was stolen in 1970

[jroxx11211]

I MET JIMMY IN KEY WEST, HE WAS BOMBED, HE WALKED INTO RICKS BAR, SAT DOWN, PASSED OUT, (HE HAD A BODYGUARD) WOKE UP, JUMPED UP ON THE STAGE WITH A BULLSHIT BAR BAND, JAMMED A COUPLE OF SONGS, MET A FEW FANS, THEN WALKED OUT, IT BLEW EVERYONES MIND, INCLUDING MINE!!!!!

[MCdefcon3]

@Jazz95Master I commented because you corrected someone earlier with incorrect info. Plus you also said Page may have stloen the guitar from Walsh. Now do you understand why you got corrected???

[MCdefcon3]

@Jazz95Master relisten...it says a couple times Joe SOLD it to him. He didnt give it to him

[GibsonYui]

i would sell my nuts just to MEET page fuck the guitar.

[TrafficMind10]

@GibsonYui xD!

[brodie60]

In his prime there was no cooler human on this earth than Jimmy Page.

[Berserkedy]

i got my guitar wired like this, it was worth it! even with the push pulls

[maggottron333]

I would sell my left and right nut and half the stuff I own to be able to meet Jimmy Page and that guitar.

[MrACDC1997]

did he dial his hair?

thuogh he's awsome

[jimmyzo3o]

@Jazz95Master It would have been 69... you can see him in early concerts playing it, however without the grovers at that stage. He must've changed to the grovers in late '69 / early '70

[chazzman1900]

It sucks that this guitar is in the ten thousands range

[bluesBro18]

he kinda looks asain

[ugafootball247]

@bluesBro18 ye i know right

[zeppedled]

@HENDRIXREBORN93 I am fairly certain the neck is a PAF and the bridge is a Gibson T-top.

[KylesIndividual]

I cant belive he touched it right in front of page. People these days

[skog666]

little drunk ?:D



[userboy6]

i with the rest of you guys, i would be floored to be in the same room with Jimmy Page, absolutely speechless!

[GrantGuides]

Jimmy looks like such a humble guy...

[LedZeplican]

i swear to fucking god....  i wud jizz myself if i could meet him....

[danlvaf183]

@bootlegboy1 what's the cost of this guitar ?

[bootlegboy1]

@danlvaf183 I would guess Millions

[410Alfa]

@bootlegboy1 Lol no way dude..

[lesleypaul59]

@bootlegboy1 think of 'GREEN/MOORE-GUITAR' , some of 5 -10 million $... that is like a 'STRADIVARI-VIOLIN' ??? LES from berlin (the history makes the price !!!)

[omfg51]

@bootlegboy1 lets say this. this guitar could probably bail the US out of debt.

[Sappyspartan]

@omfg51 Too bad he's English and not American! :D :D :D

[PeterSteves]

not so high as the price you have to pay for Jimmy Page Skills. Are you seeing the skills of Slash? Multiplicate that by 3 Hendrix´s and you`ll have a JP

[iSlash96]

@danlvaf183 the 1959's are around 500.000 dollars, but because its jimmy's guitar, priceless

[Cincinnatus1869]

@danlvaf183 $288, 357, 805 . 38 

[PBANDSNOW]

@danlvaf183 A 1959 Les Paul can cost up to $800,000, “Star owned” makes it at least 20% more than original price. A real Led Zeppelin fan with a lot of money could probably spend up to $10 Million considering who Jimmy Page is .

[PurpleVenom777]

@danlvaf183 The "page burst aged" is $15,294. The "page burst aged/signed" is $25,882 and the "page burst VOS" is $11,176

[aektzis91]

@danlvaf183 I remember several years ago maybe around 2005 the custom shop replication cost 28k (Australian dollars), which at the time may have been up to 35k US!!

[danachonda]

@aektzis91 Not at the time, it was 10,000

[The1970sInfatuate]

@danlvaf183 It's irreplaceable to Page...aka he'll take it to the grave.

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@danlvaf183 Brand-new in '59? $265.  With case.

[MegumiKitaniji]

@JeffersonDinedAlone The "59" Cost like $3000 for Secondhand one

[JeffersonDinedAlone]

@MegumiKitaniji I said that the guitar originally cost $265 with case brand-new in 1959. Learn to read.

[MegumiKitaniji]

@JeffersonDinedAlone Please buy for me as much as u can. :(

[Nikola85ZgCRO]

@danlvaf183 imho, probably the single most expensive musical instrument on the planet.... along with Jimi's white Woodstock strat, Stevie Ray's no1 and EVH's frankie.

...yeah, I love guitars so much, it's not healthy...

[VoVikMakaR]

Mr.Paaaaaaage



[Deadfreeeak]

Think of the tones he coaxed out of that guitar.

[feo130]

I am a guitar player. Jimmy Page is a guitar player. Therefore, I am Jimmy Page.

[JMM316]

@feo130 YOU, SIR, ARE RETARDED AND NEED TO BE PUNCHED IN THE TESTICLES WITH HELLBOY'S FIST, TO MAKE SURE YOU DO NOT PASS ON THE GENETIC OF IDIOCY.

[feo130]

@JMM316 Lmao xD

[Cincinnatus1869]

@feo130 me too man . me too

[TheStormtrooperrr]

is that a cherry sunburst or a tobacco burst?

[daviejtube95]

@TheStormtrooperrr ice-tea burst i think it is.

[spearcretin]

@TheStormtrooperrr sunburst its just faded



[TheStormtrooperrr]

is that a cherry sunburst or a tobacco burst??

[PopExpo]

i'm not a big rock star but i love my guitar (stratocaster). and i would have a hard time letting some take it and take it apart to make a copy of it. its just a regualr american standard but it just fits me like a condom.

[PBANDSNOW]

"Its my mistress, its my wife, and the great thing is that is doesnt beat me up for alimony!"

[Chaz6993X]

My fucking Idol! I love this man! he inspires me with everything he does!

[zthetha]

Shades of Spinal Tap, Jim!

[falconer333]

Haha this reminds me a bit of the spinal tap guitar room scene!

[HedMadHop]

@falconer333 thay didn't mention it goes up to eleven) sometimes)

[Gibson923Mike]

I wonder how much he would sell it for

[ddos411]

he looks like a japanese

[bobklose]

@ddos411

His grandmother was Chinese:)



[tezokmisir]

@ddos411 he looks genius :D

[crunkalac]

@ddos411 he has Chinese in him

[flamey088]

If i was jimmy page, i wouldnt have given my guitar to gibson. To precious

[Warholy]

Jimmy is my idol! Jimmy is my #1 influence! i would do anything to meet Jimmy! oh how many questions I want to ask!!!!

[cast390]

Now all he needs to do is learn how to play it

[BillyMacQ]

@cast390 He's forgotten more about playing guitar than you'll ever know, expert. Nice troll.

[DickLodge68]

Odd to hear Jimmy Page speaking English as I understand it!

[beatlesman369]

WTF, I just got auto corrected to WTF

[maripocita37]

This genius makes me feel inferior in every way. At least I recognize that.

[dasenuff]

fookin boomers runnin' up the price of usable awesome guitars!

[diogobue]

i love this GUY!

[displeasedflyinguy]

It costs $400000 to play this guitar, for 12 seconds.

[bootlegboy1]

Its from the Gibson Guitar DVD which came with the signature model of his No 1 guitar, I guess the guy is from Gibson

[probrojeffro]

What is this from? Who's interviewing?

[tartinovich9]

Page and Hendrix both genius....Page is just more genius !!!

[PBANDSNOW]

@tartinovich9 Cobain And Da Vinci were genius's...Cobain just more genius

[billyanhiers]

@PBANDSNOW young and van halen.... whos more genius?? this is a hard one...

[Hellblazer344]

@PBANDSNOW Cobain? really....i'll have to study this one

[zbarneyz]

@PBANDSNOW Wow...That's really...Wow....Cobain got mighty famous after his death..And he was a good player. But then people like you come and make him a god..And when people look him up they get dissapointed because of the reputation you guys give him...He was good, but not god..

[PBANDSNOW]

@zbarneyz Dude, they were the most popular band worldwide from 91-94, thats longer than led zeppeling and the clash were most popular!

[zbarneyz]

@PBANDSNOW Without a doubt. I totally agrre, cobain made alot of good songs for nirvana. Heart shaped box and Come as you are is great examples... But when people put cobain in this god status i have to shake my head..When eric clapton realesed the Beno album he was called god..The term gets thrown around alot..

[bandit7498]

@PBANDSNOW You're kidding right? Nothing, and I repeat NOTHING Nirvana EVER did come CLOSE to Led Zeppelin's WORST album. And Nirvana never was and never will be as popular as Zeppelin was. To this day Stairway to Heaven is still the most requested rock song in FM radio history. Nirvana shouldn't even be spoken in the same sentence ans the mighty Zep.

[bandit7498]

@PBANDSNOW Seriously dude, you're the one that needs to do some fucking research. Worldwide figures has Nevermind selling 26 million copies. Led Zeppelin 4 at 32 million. People still buy LZ4. NOBODY buys Nevermind anymore. Zeppelin has sold OVER 300 mil records. Nirvana? 50 mil. And what top 100 list are you talking about? Rolling Stone? Well, that dumb ass rag mag also had Cobain listed higher than Eddie Van Halen on their list of top 100 guitarists. So don't put a lot of stock in that shit.

[DickLodge68]

@bandit7498 Hey, this guy's favorite gal is Joan Jett, so that speaks volumes by itself. I completely agree with you about Rolling Stone....it's not even worthy to wipe your ass with.

[bandit7498]

@DickLodge68 THANK YOU!! I read that Rolling Stone crap about the top 100 rock guitarists and Eddie was WAY down on the list and Cobain was at like 15 or something, higher than Eddie. EDDIE FREAKIN' VAN HALEN!! Steve Vai wasn't even in the top 100. lol. Ya gotta laugh at Rolling Stone mag. But you kinda gotta feel sorry for the poor schmucks that buy into their BS. Led Zeppelin is in a class by themselves. Comparing Nirvana to them is like comparing a glass of piss to a glass of fine wine.

[IDanClarkI]

@bandit7498

bear in mind that they were only around for 3 and a half years as opposed to zeppelin being around for decades

[bandit7498]

@IDanClarkI 1) That's a dumb comparison.

a) Zeppelin were together for about 10 years. Nirvana were together for about 7. Nirvana formed in '87 and Cobain blew his brains out in '94.

b)You make it sound as if Zeppelin accumulated their sales over several decades while Nirvana accumulated theirs in just 3 years. (read your comment, that is exactly the way you put it.)

c)It's been 20 plus years since Nirvana first formed. In the same span of time Zep had by far outsold Nirvana.

[bandit7498]

@IDanClarkI 2) Also "bear in mind" Nirvana were transformed into overnight pop stars by stinking MTV. Not to say they didn't put in work. But there was no MTV in the late 60s and 70s. Bands toured endlessly and produced quality music. That's how they made a name for themselves. I have to say I never, NEVER thought I'd be having a discussion of who the better band was between Zep and Nirvana. Guess I assumed it was pretty much a given that Nirvana could NEVER compare to real artists like Zeppelin

[IDanClarkI]

@bandit7498

if anything, i would say theyre better, not technically, but in most ways

[bandit7498]

@IDanClarkI You would say who is better? Nirvana? Man, I'd love to toke on some of that shit you're smoking...

[IDanClarkI]

@bandit7498

guessed correctly.

[DickLodge68]

@zbarneyz Whaa?? Cobain was a good player? You're joking right?

[zbarneyz]

@DickLodge68 Im not joking...What are you talking about?

[DickLodge68]

@zbarneyz Kurt Cobain was not a good player.

[IDanClarkI]

@DickLodge68

shut the fuck up about kurt cobain.

i love the guy, but keep it to nirvana vids,

END OF, now STFU

[DickLodge68]

@IDanClarkI The idea here is to post videos and comments...so telling someone to shut up is really weak. If you want to debate, then do it. I didn't bring up Cobain..some other lame-ass did. Cobain was never a good guitar player...if you can't deal with that reality, that's your problem.

[IDanClarkI]

@DickLodge68

so whats your problem?

[DickLodge68]

@IDanClarkI

[DickLodge68]

@IDanClarkI The problem is that you act like a jack-ass! If you disagree with someone, you simply tell them to STFU. Kurt Cobain shouldn't have made the top 1000 list or 100,000 list of greatest guitarists. It's ridiculous!

[IDanClarkI]

@DickLodge68 so me telling someone to shut up about someone that has nothing to do with this because i find it annoying makes me a jackass?

thats weak man :/

HAHA dick.

[esglobe10]

how do you get this man? Do you film that?

Shiit, I wanna be you haha =]

[googlemaster6380]

I would love to just STAND in the same room as Page and that guitar. I would consider selling my left nut to get to shake his hand and pull the push pull.

[leoru]

this is most likely the most valuable instrument to exist it's beautiful and there couldn't be a better owner for it=)

[dokokai]

I don't like the way the guy just grabs the guitar from Page to point out the push/pull pot. He could have been a lot more courteous in asking Page to demonstrate that for him. The he says..."we'll take good care of it".

[dokokai]

What a cool video clip! Jimmy Page about to release from his possession (temporarily) his most favorite guitar to allow Gibson to copy it for a signature release model. I'm sure he felt very nervous letting it go. Page is not only the best rock guitarist/songwriter/recording engineer and quite possibly THE best guitarist in general in the last 50 years, but is also a warm, endearing individual. And in this clip, his personality shines through!!

[runingblackbear]

i like your guitar playing jimmy thank you for your music

[wii360wii]

man i love his accent...

[paul9101975]

This movie did in Tower House rocord?

[matt4270]

Page is such a gracious dude!

[tothatextent]

I love Jimmy page. I don't care what anyone says, Page made the Les Paul the most desired guitar in the world. 1959 Les Pauls are now worth in excess of $500,000 - solely due to Page. He is the ultimate guitar hero.

[fishermanfranky]

if i was there i would hit him in the head and run away with that guitar!!!

[moonchair761]

no sound

[ThePr0jecti0n]

he sounds like my history teacher. he is awesome

[MannyBlue65]

Any guitar that Jimmy would have chosen would have been "the guitar" and that is what he is trying to say. There is nothing special about this guitar other then the fact that it's been with him for many years and he has used it on many recordings. It's the man that made guitar special.

[dokokai]

@MannyBlue65 Exactly!! The magic is in Page, not the guitar. The instrument is just the vehicle Page uses to allow the rest of us to experience a bit of it.

[Blackoutwalkin]

You know JP is passionate about his profession when he holds his instrument in such high regards, it shows that he respects what's been given to him and understands that it was no mere coincidence.

[LedHeadTillDeath]

Imagine holding Jimmy Page's guitar. I love how he's so in love with it.

[PILLOWofECHOES]

@DaNorthernLight dude ive known he has been british for as long as i can remember. noone reads my other comments on here i guess. i was high as hell when i posted that. i mean come on, look at the choice of words i chose XD

[beatlesman369]

Notice how usually he's all quiet, but when talking about his guitar he's like shut it, I'm talking

[cadkins100]

keep in mind in the 70's push pull pots were not around ;) meaning in zeppelin page used a stock 1959 les paul to get his tones.the songs with that twang was either a fender tele or strat or the les paul in the mid position on the toggel with the vol.knob rolled back and a lil roll off on the rythem tone to give it that twangey tone.this is what made page famous he did not have to play on 10 all the time ;)good tone comes from playing around alot till you come acrosed a tone that just fit's.

[LesCrapio]

I don't understand half of what he speaks.

[Marseille5]

Jimmyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy­y !!!

[DLRisVH]

Great vid. Thanks for posting...

[gsgft9592]

thats a beautiful guitar

[clust90]

jimmy rules!!!
