Interesting piece. Wonder if anyone has any further history/insight into it. Kindof novel, fretted and fretless.. Interesting to see if he gets any takers.

It's what Jonas wanted. Probably is the only one. Never knew we made something for Jimmy Page, one of the most overrated guitarists there is.

He's written some good songs and definately made a huge contribution to music, but he ain't got the chops.

Apart from being a mediocre player Page has some bizarre interests, for example he owned, or possibly still owns, Alistair Crowley's house.

Aleister Crowley was a notorious and infamous Satanist & sexual deviant who was also a bum-chum of that tosser L Ron Hubbard. There was a lot of speculation that Led Zep's darker material was influenced by Page's fascination with Crowley. Page didn't help the situation when he bought Crowley's mansion.

We made a double for Jimmy probably 8 years ago. It was pretty cool. it had some fancy inlay on the finger board ( used to have the spec sheet for it, but who nknows where that went.)If I remember right I was the one who put the binding on the body. I think he used it in one of his videos.

It was used during the Plant/Page "Unledded" Tour.
As an audience participant, I can attest that that was one NICE sounding live guitar!

Nice Job!

Just goes to show the difference between perception and reality ... Jimmy Page was ranked as 9th on the list of the top 100 guitarists of all time (Rolling Stone magazine). At least they had the good sense to rank Robert Johnson above him.
