Unbelievable, this man is extremely successful, yet he still takes time to respond to comments, what a guy!

A Tele was only used on the intro to the song. Jimmy Page has stated in interviews that the body of the song was recorded with a Les Paul.

@LarryDiMarzio Yes of course, special ordered through my luthier, shipping took forever and it arrived broken and we were at the shop till 8:30pm soldering on it and finally it started working.. The pickup sounds amazing, I dropped an At1 in the bridge, amazing combo.. I think I'll stick to DiMarzio from now on.. I'd love a gift for my efforts ;) Thanks for making great pickups Larry

@LarryDiMarzio G'day Larry, I do agree with Gilbert on this issues, a big neck does provide more sustain however they are also provide alot better tuning stability as well as overall tone. Thanks for the response and enjoy playing your guitar as I'm sure you already do:). Cheers. Joe.

@gundgen Hi, I only played one '60 and the neck was very thin. Paul Gilbert feels that neck size also effects the sustain.
I don't know about the hot glue you mentioned. They did use hot hide glue in their acoustics. I've been working on a '61 J45. Sorry to say I haven't played any of the replicas that you mentioned.
Hope that helps,
Larry DiMarzio

Hello Larry.
I personally don't have previous experiense of DiMarzio pickups, but now I can afford to buy one, so I want to change my bridge pickup for my Epiphone Les Paul. What DiMarzio pickup would you recommend for me? I would like to have a tone similar to Led Zeppelin and just general blues. Thank you in advance.

@PapaLesPaul
You should get good results in an Epi with an F-spaced 36th Anniversary PAF bridge model (DP223F).

G'day Larry, Could you please tell me what the neck profile is on your genuine 59 compared to the 59 Reissue? There's a bloke selling a Max Les Paul 59 Replica kit and he said that Max Baranet's replicas and kits are based of his genuine 59 Les Paul's geometry and the neck profile is NOT like the 59 Reissues, i.e. the genuine 59's are somewhere between 59 Ri's and 60 Ri's. Could you shed some light on this please? Cheers Joe.

@gundgen Hi, Although I owned a '58 and have played several '60s I never thought to measure and save the info. However, the "58s are fatter and the '60 neck shape is much thinner like an ES 335 or SG. I preferred the the'59 it just fits better into my hand better and is more comfortable to play. I also owner a '59 L5 and it had an identical neck shape to the '59 Les Paul.
Hope that helps,
Larry DiMarzio
