@@GeneShuorts Go back and research when Jimmy's Les Paul was stolen from a concert back in the 70's. It ended up in the hands of some school mates of mine, that's how I got to play it, but didn't know who's guitar it was. I always remembered the 3 different pickups and 3 toggle switches at the top of the body and wondered who would do that to a super cool Les Paul.

I call bs. “ shielding himself from beer bottles”. It was still a 1960 Gibson. You don’t do that. You were playing punk rock bars. You could have used a $100 guitar at the gig and nobody would have known the difference. A Hondo or a Squire. Ibanez GIO. Come on.

It’s a good era for famous missing black customs returning to their owner. Peter Frampton, now Jimmy Page. It’s not a Les Paul, or black but Billy Corgan got back a Strat that was stolen.

In the end, good always wins over evil.

Simplesmente incrível! ❤️❤️❤️

I saw a guitar like that, but it was a 1959 model at Rainbow music in New Paultz , New York..I was only 15 but I wanted that guitar so bad ..They wanted I think $1500.00 this was 1980..So I begged my Dad to co sighn a loan but he said no..He just did not understand the value of it ..I am willing to bet it is worth $20,000 today? I never saw a Les Paul with a tremle bar in real life before or since then..

Worth more like $80k depending on condition

As much as I would love that guitar if I ‘found’ it or came across it, I just couldn’t bare for it to not be in the hands of Jimmy.

Jimmy has given so much to this world. The scumbag who took his guitar could never be forgiven.

👍🇬🇧❤

Yeah. That's some consolation to Jimmy Page for sure. Way after the fact.

I hope he got a new vintage 1960

What kind of guitar did he get from Jimmy in the trade ? Did he get to meet Jimmy or did Jimmy send someone ? Nothing wrong if he sent someone and didn't go himself, after all it could have ended up being a scam.

He got a 59 LP Custom that was worth about $50K at the time (and is probably considerably more now).

No Way!!

If only they had done this for john lennon’s gibson j160e. Instead it was auctioned off knowing full well that it was a stolen guitar and that it belonged to john.

this is a marketing ploy by gibson to sell his reissue custom guitar. there is no way that that is the original.

So glad Jimmy got it back and I don't believe the first fat dude about not knowing it was Jimmy's guitar that's bull but so glad the second guy bless him for his kindness and honesty for founding the 2 drilled holes which Iam sure the many hands that touched it thro the years knew then covered it up lol but regardless so glad it made it's way back to its rightful owner Jimmy .I can only imagine the smile on Jimmy's face when he seen it 👍

It's common knowledge that Jimmy played on Goldfinger. He's got proof of it in his Anthology book. He was present when Shirley Bassey collapsed onto the floor after laying down that vocal.

I've met Jimmy he is a absolute Gentleman I don't understand why he couldn't pick it up himself??

I would have insisted on a personal meeting/exchange with Jimmy + a song of choice played by Jimmy For the reward

This is old news like YEARS old news and I assume the reason it came out now because the NDA expired. He got the guitar between 2003-2005 how you think Gibson did the replica? SMH

No way, I would have kept that guitar.

What the frig are you talkin' about? Two "distinctive" drill holes? Where? Up at the neck pickup mounting ring? That's your problem? Really? I mean, it doesn't need a neck reset or totally major work like that? And you have the gall to caption your video presuming these goofwads to be guitar "experts"?

Page didn't use that guitar on ANY of the songs mentioned. Famously he used a Fender Telecaster (on which he painted a multi-coloured dragon!) almost exclusively for everything up to and including Led Zeppelin II. He eventually upgraded to include a number of VERY expensive guitars including this one and at least 2 1959 Les Pauls (known as "Bursts" because they were early examples of the Sunburst paint job). These are the Holy Grail of guitars with an "ordinary" one (not owned by a pro "name" guitarist) currently fetching upto $500,000. If a "name" is attached to a Burst then the sky is literally the limit! I couldn't even guess the value of one of Page's Bursts, but it would certainly be multi-million USD!

Direct quote from Jimmy Page: " I played the Les Paul on Whole Lotta Love and What Is and What Should Never Be and that decided it for me: it was definitely going to be the Les Paul from then on. I always wanted to make a change for each album sonically and that was my first decision for Led Zeppelin II. Like I had built Led Zeppelin around the Fender Telecaster, I built the second album around the sonic texture of the Les Paul Standard. Neither Joe Walsh nor I realised at the time just what an important thing he had done by coming along with that Les Paul." ( I have heard over the years that Page recorded Whole Lotta Love on the Black Beauty, but the Walsh Standard is the "Les Paul" Jimmy refers to.)

Maybe Bert Jansch, Davy Graham, and Jake Holmes can offer their opinions on what it's like to be a victim of theft.

Hows it going guys? Im the guy who scratched Jimmy Pages guitar while doing work at his house in 2016, wasnt even my fault - he was on something and trying to have me hold his guitar and let go before my hands were there, i caught it but the bottom swung and hit other guitar and scratched it. The guy he talks about in interviews that is supposed to have ducked him and he can't find him - thats me, only i didn't duck him and he's been fucking with me the whole time. He could have filed an ins claim even tho it wasn't my fault but wants me to pay. He has half way stalked me ever since calling all my employers, random messages here and there. He flips between he is sorry and I owe him a million dollars for his guitar.
