The winning bidder will receive #11 of the just twenty-six Limited Edition Gibsonguitars replicated after the one Page played during the 1971 Led Zeppelin IV tour.Jimmy Page personally played and then signed each of the twenty-six, keeping #1 forhimself. This particular replica is identical to the original inside and out, withnot only the same unique electronics, but identical scrapes, scratches, dents anddings--all administered by Jimmy over the years through heavy tour use of theoriginal guitar-- painstakingly recreated by Gibson s Custom Shop, the industrypioneers and leaders of the guitar aging process.
Since the night it was purchased at a private Platinum Night event held at the SanJose, CA, Guitar Center earlier this year, the guitar has been kept sealed in thebox - it has never been displayed publicly or privately. The only fingerprints onthe guitar are from Jimmy Page himself.
Page said in a recent interview that he is reputed to own in excess of 1500 guitarsand has no intention of parting with any of his own Zeppelin memorabilia; whether ornot you attend the band s upcoming reunion concert in London, this official replicamay be as close as you ll come to one of Jimmy s actual guitars.
The guitar comes with a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Jimmy Page.
