For more than 40 years, Jimmy Page of Led Zeppelin has owned the legendary 1959 Les Paul “Number Two” guitar. Four years ago, Gibson Custom painstakingly recreated it to Page’s specifications, including the iconic aged flame maple top and faded “Page Burst 2” finish — even replicating the ding, dent and wear marks.

Only 25 Gibson Custom Jimmy Page Aged and Signed “Number Two” Les Paul guitars have ever been released worldwide. All 25 guitars were personally handled and played by Jimmy to ensure they met the highest quality standard of his original. Once approved, each guitar was individually signed and numbered by Jimmy Page. Page kept #1, while the remaining 24 guitars instantly became highly valued collector’s items. Finally, after half a decade, Guitar Center is opening the vault and offering #2 and #5 for auction.

Both guitars are curently up for auction on eBay, running through Sunday, June 29th at 4pm PT. The minimum bid for each guitar is $20,000.

100% of the proceeds from the auction of #2 will benefit Little Kids Rock - an organization that transforms children's lives by restoring and revitalizing music education in our schools.

100% of the proceeds from the auction of #5 will benefit United Service Organizations (USO). For more than 70 years, the USO has been lifting the spirits of America’s troops and military families through morale-boosting programs, services, and entertainment. The USO is the only private, non-profit organization that is always by the side of servicemen and women, from the moment they join, through their deployments and as they transition back to their communities, providing them with the most impactful support possible, on behalf of the American people.
