This instrument is modeled after a three-pickup 1960 Les Paul Custom
that Page relied on heavily during Zeppelin's early days. It is an exact
vintage correct reconstruction with the addition of some very
innovative electronics, a 6-way toggle switch.
This pre-owned instrument
has been kept in unplayed, collectors condition by our customer. All
the extras are included; original hardshell case, certificate of
authenticity, care kit, and paperwork.

"No one has had a bigger impact on the style and sound of hard rock
guitar than the deservedly legendary Jimmy Page. As the musical
mastermind of Led Zeppelin, Page’s tone, playing, and phrasing made him
one of the most influential musicians of the past 50 years.
In Zeppelin’s early days, Page relied heavily on a three-pickup 1960
Les Paul Custom “Black Beauty” with a Bigsby tailpiece. Unfortunately,
the guitar was stolen in 1970 at an airport and never recovered. Page
has always felt that that particular guitar was “the one that got away.”
Gibson proudly returns Page’s cherished lost guitar in the form of
the new Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom—a painstaking
recreation of that iconic instrument, with the addition of some of the
most innovative electronics to ever grace a Les Paul.
The result is this stunning “Black Beauty” with a slim-profile neck,
Page BurstBucker pickups, gold Bigsby vibrato and an innovative
six-position toggle that lets you isolate the neck and bridge pickups,
or add the middle in any combination. A stop tailpiece version is also
available" -GC
