The original LP Gods... Actually I think it was more that in those early days you could find the guitars, they would circulate and so the right soul mate LP found the right players in many cases. The right one for you might be the particular guitar 5 people didn't bond with. That's hard to do now, you can't circulate them casually once they become more than instruments & become objects of money, cult and ego status. It kind of demoralizes the pure musical prospect of having such a guitar as they are far too great a liability to gig and enjoy anymore. Historics seem like a grand rip off, trading on the cult status of the real thing.
@@brockr4377 yeah as far as who is the best , to certain degree it’s subjective. Blackmore is good, another one would be Jeff Beck who is a certainly a notable mention. I think Clapton is one of the greatest too. I think why I like Page the best is because he was so versatile.. hard core lead , 12 string, double neck playing.. just all around a great musician /guitarist. IMHO
David Gilmour. Page gets way too much credit for one great guitar solo. He's got nothing after Stairway. Great with riffs but that's it. Very sloppy player.
@@darth550 YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.... The guy goes to lay the guitar down in the case, and Page wildly "yanks it back" away from him!!!! Yeah!!! I saw that!!!! DID EVERYBODY ELSE SEE THAT???
Exactly Joe Walsk gave him that Les Paul! You can also hear this from Clapton the British guitar players had to come to America to get Strats and LesPauls they weren’t readily available I. Those early years in the UK. So Clapton talks about his struggle to get a strat when they first came on in rock and roll!
The neck was shaved at Lay’s Guitar shop in Kenmore Ohio. They are still in business and still do great work. Cool to think a small piece of rock history passed through a tiny guitar shop in nowhere Ohio.
Jimmy Page...damn!!! My favorite guitarist of my favorite band. Just love his intellect, such a brilliant thinker...no doubt one of the reasons he was such a great composer.
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.
saw him with the Firm and I couldnt get over the fact that when he played it was more like a force than notes. I mean I dont care if you were in the bathroom or at the concession there was this inescapable energy.I didnt go to the show as a Zep worshipper or anything but goddamn after that this dude is just amazing
I'd really like to talk to this guy just for an hour…..so much experience and knowledge and feel….. True Legend and one of the last ones alive. One of my favourite humans.
LOL, YES,,,,, JIMMY WAS "SELECTED" BY FORCES WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND. THE LES PAUL GUITAR WAS MADE FOR HIM TO MASTER, TO CHANNEL COSMIC FORCES FROM DEEP IN CENTER OF THE UNIVERSE ,,, FOR THE PLEASURE OF HUMANS THAT WERE CHOSEN TO BE TUNED IN,,,,,,,, OR SOMETHING LIKE THAT,,,, LOLS!!! A BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO US ALL ANYWAY.
I love the way Joe Walsh's name comes up again and again. He's a great guy, fantastic guitarist and musician. Nice to hear Page himself refer to their shared guitar history.
Even before Joe was in the James Gang, he was a real guitar tech guy. He knew what circuitry to add to guitars and amps too, to make them sound lots better.
This Guitar , or the Gibson Jimmy Page Signature , which was made in the 90´s is Still a Unreachable Dream guitar for Me , The "holy grail" of Rock Axes , NOT only for it´s Legendary Background , it has also VERY special Wirings , Slim , fast Neck , and it Looks Tremendiously AWESOME
I had a chance to play the page years ago when it hit the music store. It had already been purchased before it showed up, but I was a regular and the sales rep liked me. Easily the best gibson i've ever put my hands on.
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.
I have been in the same room as him and Robert Plant (1998). It was one of the best moments of my life....That and being in the same room as Paul McCartney (2004).
for anyone wondering that "other brand" guitar that he mentioned (the one he played in the Yardbirds and the early days of Zeppelin) is a 1959 Fender Telecaster. it can be heard on everything Jimmy did with the Yardbirds, all of the first Zeppelin album (and ive been told the into to Whole Lotta Love, but i'll have to check on that), and Zeppelins early tours (you can find footage of it here on youtube)
He bought the guitar from Joe Walsh back in 1969 when the James Gang were touring. He paid a few hundred or so for it. The neck was already sanded down before he got it.
Austin Bilbro '59 bursts were selling for a few hundred in the 60s, Peter Green paid $300 for his one in the late 60s, then sold it onto Moore for the same price he paid for it.
There's so many different stories regarding this guitar floating around, but $300 was the asking price for a burst back then, when they first came out in 58 you could buy one new with the case for $300. But back then $300 was the equivalent of $2,455.28 in todays money, so it was still a lot of cash.
He has the simple but difficult to live out combination of working really hard and having a lot of talent. Most people dont have either of these going on, but really successful people have both talent and work hard
That 'Coil Split" was on his #2 not this one .. This one here (#1) only has the Phase Reversal . It was done WAY AFTER led Zeppelin split , in 1999 i think. #2 way modified in the early 80's
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!
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.
I own JPP 713 since new in 2006 and I will never sell it. It’s been on most of my bands’ albums and will be a part of my new band and is my only electric I will play. It’s insanely versatile. Switch in treble with knob up sounds like a Tele-middle is out of phase like Peter Green as he said -I can get a strat neck notch sound in the right spot on tone knob. The regular LP settings all rule. When I bought it I compared to it a 59 ES 345 with PAFs and the neck PU stood toe to toe. It’s probably the best work Gibson Custom ever did -an opinion shared my many. Only 860 were made.
This interview: The most I've ever heard him go on about, anything! A Les Paul of course! Sounded like someone was going to produce that instrument 🎸 for sales. Going to research this further. Great Great piece! Thanks 🙏👍
This is the first, and only time I have ever heard jimmy page mention peter greens name . Page and green are my two favourite guitarists . I have always wondered if they knew each other or ever jammed together. Would love to hear what page thinks of Peter greens playing .
Jimmy has mentioned Peter a few times over the years. In one interview Jimmy said Black dog was inspired by Oh well. What he meant was the spoken part going into the main riff each time.
That guitar is so iconic to me. It started my love for guitars and guitar playing watching this being used on stage in the Song Remains The Same. Can only imagine the appraisal price of that girl geesh. 🎸 #Zoso
I finally got a reproduction that has the sound accusticlly so I put 50's pickups and Volume and now I can see why everyone liked these years of guitar. I prefer grover tuners, I just don't like plastic on a tuner, and the finer gear I feel is more stable.
PROBABLY THE ONLY GUITAR PLAYER TO OWN TWO LES PAUL'S A 58 AND A 59 THEY BOTH ARE TRULY PRICELESS INSTRUMENTS TO ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS & PERFORMERS EVER TO LIVE
Holy Shaaaat!! The Holy Grail. They didn’t mention that Joe Walsh actually gave that guitar to Jimmy. Joe, well known for tinkering and doing his own customizations on his axes, had shaved down the neck. A bit too much for his own liking. Jimmy had basically done everything on his Tele up to that point, and by chance, the neck felt made for his hands. Of course, the rest is history
I love that he mentions Peter Green.
bronyr with a wink
Yeah me too I was like whaatt
I LOVE ME SOME JAMES PATRICK PAGE 🤗

Best to have phase reverse than guitar hard wired out of phase. Much more versatility.
Page is a true genius. Classical sensibility with punk abandon.
Jeremy Shirland well said!
I think Jimmy Page is the greatest all round Rock guitarist in history. Anyone else agree?
Yep
Yes
Yeppers, he was the shit in the '70s with Fred Zeppelin!!!
I do agree, but I consider one other who is just as worthy as Page...that would be Ritchie Blackmore. So in essence it would be a tie if you will.
@@brockr4377 yeah as far as who is the best , to certain degree it’s subjective. Blackmore is good, another one would be Jeff Beck who is a certainly a notable mention. I think Clapton is one of the greatest too. I think why I like Page the best is because he was so versatile.. hard core lead , 12 string, double neck playing.. just all around a great musician /guitarist. IMHO
He will always be the quintessential guitar player to me. His playing and aura is rivaled by none.
Tend to agree for the most part, however Ritchie Blackmore is special in his own right. My two most prominent influences I might add.
His aura is definitely God like
Page's sound on the 70s was so perfect, i've never seen anyone who can replicate it.
Up until 1975. His sound afterwards deteriorated imo
@@pts5217 true those golden years had some great playing I really liked Zep 1
David Gilmour. Page gets way too much credit for one great guitar solo. He's got nothing after Stairway. Great with riffs but that's it. Very sloppy player.
ravenr1420 do your self a favor: listen to Houses of the Holy and Presence
@@ravenr1420 and you are in a position to judge Sir Jimmy!
Imagine holding Jimmy Page's guitar. I love how he's so in love with it.
notice how he doesn't let go and yanks it back?
Actually Jimmy Page is holding Joe Walsh's old guitar 🎸😳
@@darth550 YEAH, YEAH, YEAH.... The guy goes to lay the guitar down in the case, and Page wildly "yanks it back" away from him!!!! Yeah!!! I saw that!!!! DID EVERYBODY ELSE SEE THAT???
For a fee, I can arrange to further customize that very Les Paul with electric vibration motors, and let you use it to get yourself off!!!!
Exactly Joe Walsk gave him that Les Paul!
You can also hear this from Clapton the British guitar players had to come to America to get Strats and LesPauls they weren’t readily available I. Those early years in the UK. So Clapton talks about his struggle to get a strat when they first came on in rock and roll!
His smile makes everything all right
So does mine.
One of the most influential musicians ever.
“one of”? LEAVE NOW

Nice to see this.
His is a wise man and a true master on guitar and music.Thank you Jimmy🎸🙏
Except for the repeated statutory rape of a ninth grader over the course of nine months when he was a grown man.
"Don't touch it. Don't even look at it."
Still got the ‘ole tagger.
i didn't touch it
“It cannot be played”
Up to eleven
I’m not a worthy enough player to look at that godly instrument.
"Its as though these guitars where meant to come my way"! Very interesting!
LOL, YES,,,,, JIMMY WAS "SELECTED" BY FORCES WE WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND.

A BEAUTIFUL GIFT TO US ALL ANYWAY.
@@hoot7959 i agree
His connection with Aleister Crowley is still ongoing and a Life-long relationship with A.C.s "friends" is Forever certainly.
one of the best guitars of all time, phase switch explained, great video of the master guitarist.
I love the way Joe Walsh's name comes up again and again. He's a great guy, fantastic guitarist and musician. Nice to hear Page himself refer to their shared guitar history.
Even before Joe was in the James Gang, he was a real guitar tech guy. He knew what circuitry to add to guitars and amps too, to make them sound lots better.
You realize Joe gave him that guitar ?
Joe is a monster player
this is most likely the most valuable instrument to exist it's beautiful and there couldn't be a better owner for it=)
Genius, mythical, legendary Jimmy Page. The best guitarist of all time 🎸❤️
This Guitar , or the Gibson Jimmy Page Signature , which was made in the 90´s is Still a Unreachable Dream guitar for Me , The "holy grail" of Rock Axes , NOT only for it´s Legendary Background , it has also VERY special Wirings , Slim , fast Neck , and it Looks Tremendiously AWESOME
I absolutely adore him.lol. this is a great interview!!!!!
A great musician......without a doubt !!
I love that he got that guitar from Joe Walsh!
Wow this post is almost a year old!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jimmy Page has such a sweet demeanor! He's a beautiful human being.
Except he follows the dark side.
@@tubemonks Same as you.
This is the coolest video I've seen in a looooooooooong time!
He bought his guitar from Joe Walsh!? Of the Eagles?! Holy crap
He didn't buy it - he stole it from Joe Walsh...
+Neil Mason mate he brought it
Joe Walsh says he gave it to him....the one he did not like....maybe he does not remember the cash.🤣
Listen to The James Gang Rides Again the sound on the The Bomber compare to Whole Lotta Love on Led Zep 2
I just seen another interview where Page said he paid $1200 for it back in 68 to Joe Walsh.
There will never be anyone to match his achievements, love this guy.
amazing how he slaps a guitar most of us can only dream about at 2:23
Lol, cheeky grin after 'that was aannnnother brand of guitar'
I had a chance to play the page years ago when it hit the music store. It had already been purchased before it showed up, but I was a regular and the sales rep liked me. Easily the best gibson i've ever put my hands on.
what was it like?
I love Jimmy Page. He the best
If there is ever a church of Jimmy Page...........I am a member for life!
Im leading the parade for jimmy page. I adore him.
ah the church of man
It would be a little dark i´m afraid 😅He´s such a great fan of Crowley and stuff like that
Wow, I've been dying to hear those explanations from Jimmy forever, thank you for this post!!
It must be the most valuable 59 les paul. It could be millions at an auction.
Love Jimmy !!!
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.
His unique sound requires work to recreate, and still impress people today just like he did back in his young days.
Yes he has like a fine wine mellowed with age and yes the holy grail of all guitars and guitar music his les paul.
Jimmy Page made the Les Paul iconic.
Notice how usually he's all quiet, but when talking about his guitar he's like shut it, I'm talking
I have been waiting since the late 70's to be with Jimmy LOL
I have been in the same room as him and Robert Plant (1998). It was one of the best moments of my life....That and being in the same room as Paul McCartney (2004).
Gosh I love this man so much.

Jimmy said in a guitar magazine that Whole Lotta Love was recorded on his black custom Les Paul .
The one reason I took up guitar. Thank you Mr. Page.
The most kind hearted man
I think Joe walsh takes the "most kind hearted man" award. Joe walsh put this in jimmy's hands...
It's awesome how our guitars come our way :)
Sir Jimmy Page is a great guitarist, whom we have all admired, and continue to admire, mereover he is, a very real, earthly man. I wish him health!!!!
Jimmy Page is such a fascinating fella.
i like your guitar playing jimmy thank you for your music
He bought the guitar from Joe Walsh back in 1969 when the James Gang were touring. He paid a few hundred or so for it. The neck was already sanded down before he got it.
LH he paid 1200 bucks
Austin Bilbro '59 bursts were selling for a few hundred in the 60s, Peter Green paid $300 for his one in the late 60s, then sold it onto Moore for the same price he paid for it.
lespaulzrule I watched a interview that said joe Walsh had two and Jimmy bought the least liked one for 1200
There's so many different stories regarding this guitar floating around, but $300 was the asking price for a burst back then, when they first came out in 58 you could buy one new with the case for $300.
But back then $300 was the equivalent of $2,455.28 in todays money, so it was still a lot of cash.
Joe said he gave it to him three weeks ago on Marc Maron.....the least like Les Paul.
"Its one of those guitars that was meant to come my way". I tell that to the wife ALL the time. She doesnt buy it tho.
He has the simple but difficult to live out combination of working really hard and having a lot of talent. Most people dont have either of these going on, but really successful people have both talent and work hard
so many stories on that guitar! amazing upload,,tks
Jimmy once again makes me wanna meet him
I’ve had that pleasure & he was everything you’d expect.
@@thekitowl i envy you
I put push-pulls on all my guitars except for a strat because I love to coil split for certain clean passages. It's cool that Page does it too.
That 'Coil Split" was on his #2 not this one .. This one here (#1) only has the Phase Reversal . It was done WAY AFTER led Zeppelin split , in 1999 i think. #2 way modified in the early 80's
I have one of the No. 1 R9's I bought years ago. I didn't know what they would be worth and put a Bigsby on it. Still looks pristine!
That guitar is gorgeous
The legend Jimmy Page!
Insanely historic instrument
What a legend.
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!
Page reigns supreme on top of Mt Olympus. He wields the hammer of the gods. And it’s not even close.
this is THE holy grail of guitars.
JIMMY PAGE LEGEND FROM FIRST ALBUM LED ZEPPELIN !!!!!!!!!! ..........to the End era people .
FOR 34 YEARS I HAVE LOVED ME SOME JAMES PATRICK PAGE❤🤗❤
my Idol !
Page & this guitar = Coolest Rock sound EVER !
Legend !
I wish we could see more of his instruments. It be cool if Gibson sent out Mark Agnesi to Jimmy Page's house.
What growing old in rock n roll gracefully looks like.
That's a ridiculously beautiful colour on that guitar.
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.
I'm glad he finally admitted that Joe Walsh was the one that he got it from, from the American guitar hero to the British guitar hero.
He’s always said he got the guitar from Joe.

this is amazing
He's such a talented, sweet an unassuming guy ( groupie stories aside ;) ... hope he writes an autobiography one of these days!
Well, I’ll give you talented. The rest is your fantasy.
Jimmy Page is just as cool a person offstage as he is on.
That is awesome
His l8cks on Celebration Day cemented my love of his playing
PROBABLY THE ONLY GUITAR PLAYER TO OWN TWO LES PAUL'S A 58 AND A 59 THEY BOTH ARE TRULY PRICELESS INSTRUMENTS TO ONE OF THE GREATEST PLAYERS & PERFORMERS EVER TO LIVE
Doesn't Bonamassa own a truck load ?
They aren't priceless. He bought them. They literally had a price.
Page is DEFINETLEY Rock God #1 !
His KILLER sound was SO DEEP !
Legend nr 1!
And this Les Paul is the Holy Grail Of Rock ...Excalibur
Man imagine playing THAT guitar!
Yes mate that would be epic to say the least
Amazing he let's anyone touch it.
Holy Shaaaat!! The Holy Grail. They didn’t mention that Joe Walsh actually gave that guitar to Jimmy. Joe, well known for tinkering and doing his own customizations on his axes, had shaved down the neck. A bit too much for his own liking. Jimmy had basically done everything on his Tele up to that point, and by chance, the neck felt made for his hands. Of course, the rest is history
Love Jimmy Page. My hero.
"Shy Boy", not so much while talking about his fave topic! Thanks for this wonderful video!
Your welcome
Page seems pretty humble and friendly for a Deity! Nice LP!
Genius. That is likely the most valuable guitar on the planet.
You are right sir he did use his Tele for Zep 1 and not the 1960 Black Beauty.
All 3 of the Yardbirds players are great. If fact so many great players from such a small area and time.
