Gibson Jimmy Page ‘Number Two’
Adding further weight to the idea Gibson is now only a tribute to itself, they have just released (well, a little while ago but who cares) ANOTHER Jimmy Page model, the Jimmy Page “Number Two” Les Paul.
Starting at $11,176 for a Vintage Old Stock model capping at $25,882 for an aged and signed model, Gibson again is rolling out a tribute to it's glory days, feeding the guitar collectors a new bone while the working musicians go starving.
Jimmy Page "Number Two" Les Paul
Every musician knows that late ’50s Sunburst Les Paul Standards are hard enough to come by as it is. Obtaining a pristine and exemplary ’59 ’Burst and modifying it for heightened performance and vastly expanded tonal options? Unheard of… unless, of course, you’re Jimmy Page. That’s exactly what the legendary Led Zeppelin guitarist, perhaps the world’s most iconic Les Paul player, did with his own ’59 Les Paul Standard, and now—thanks to the extreme efforts of Gibson’s Custom Shop and the intimate cooperation of Jimmy Page himself—the artist’s hallowed “Number Two” Les Paul is available to mere mortals, in the form of the Custom Shop Jimmy Page “Number Two” Les Paul. Produced in strictly limited numbers, with two levels of aging, this guitar captures the look, feel, sound, and versatility of one of the greatest artist-owned Les Pauls of all time, and it is likely to disappear from authorized Gibson dealers in record time.
Page designed a switching system for coil splitting, series/parallel, and phase-reverse options for both pickups, and employed a skilled electronics technician to devise a working schematic and make his sonic vision a reality. The result comprised a push/pull pot on each of the guitar’s four standard controls, plus two push-button switches hidden beneath the pickguard, all mounted on a ’59 Les Paul Standard that is otherwise a superb example of the breed, both in tone and playability.
Now the above quote gets my interest. Does anyone remember the very FIRST Jimmy Page Les Paul? This came out way back in 1994 or 1995 I think (the same time as the Nighthawk came out). I played one at a product demonstration. It already had these features then, so that's nothing new on this guitar.
My favourite quote on the product page comments: "Another overpriced Gibson for the wall of a dentist's office". Sums it up quite well, don't you think?
