February 23, 2008, 16 years ago
According to the Prweb.com, online music gear retailer Music123 today (February 22nd) announced that it is offering guitar fans a re-creation of the famous, lost Jimmy Page's Les Paul Custom guitar. Jimmy used the 1960 Black Beauty guitar to power some of LED ZEPPELIN early tunes. Tragedy struck in 1970 when the Les Paul was stolen at an airport. Now that legendary axe is back and available in extremely limited quantities.
The Gibson Custom Shop has restored Page's lost Les Paul guitar down to exacting detail including three humbucking pickups and gold hardware. There are two limited- edition VOS (Vintage Original Spec) versions--the Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom VOS Electric Guitar with Bigsby tailpiece, and the Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom VOS Electric Guitar with Stoptail. Both guitars come with a silk-screen Jimmy Page signature Certificate of Authenticity and a special Gibson Custom Shop case.
