| The
Jimmy Page Custom Shop Signature model '59 Les Paul is made in
three incarnations: the Pilot Run of 25 Tom Murphy-aged
replicas, played. approved, and hand signed and serialized by
Jimmy Page in his estate, 150 unsigned Tom Murphy-aged replicas,
and an unlimited series of Custom Authentic, un-aged guitars.
This guitar is number 9 of the hand-signed Pilot Run, and is in
fact the 8th made available, as Jimmy Page kept number 1 for
himself. This guitar is a light 8.6 lbs. Currently,
#9 is not for sale, but will be on display here at the store.
Gibson has replicated the shape of the
neck on Jimmy's original Les Paul, which is very thin and
thinnest in the middle of the neck from end to end. Every
aspect of this guitar is created with the intent to duplicate
Jimmy's '59 --from the pickups, to the color, to the push-pull
pot. Gibson even went to the lengths of installing Kluson
tuners on the guitar before taking them off and installing the
Grovers --so there would be an extra hole and the Kluson
imprint. The guitar shipped with a color photo of Jimmy, a
Certificate of Authenticity with another JP hand-signature, and
a display case with a violin bow. Click pictures on the
right for high-resolution, detailed pictures of #9.
(Please note that the pictures are very large.)
