Fender Jimmy Page Signature Telecaster® Journeyman Relic® Electric Guitar - White Blonde

Our Take:

This Fender Custom Shop Custom Artist Jimmy Page Signature Telecaster (that's a mouthful) might be missing Page's infamous mirrors, but make no mistake - this homage to his '59 Tele is still fully capable of channeling music and mojo. Featuring a two-piece ash body, Journeyman Relic White Blonde finish, and tinted maple neck with a custom Jimmy Page 1959 profile, we can guarantee this is one guitar you are not going to want to stop looking at - add two hand-wound '58 Tele pickups and a rosewood fingerboard, and we're pretty sure you'll never want to stop playing it, either. Comes complete with a deluxe hardshell tweed case, ACE reissue Stained-Glass" woven strap, mirror application kit, black coil cable and certificate of authenticity.

Fender's Take:

The Fender Custom Shop Custom Artist collection Jimmy Page Signature Telecaster® is a faithful recreation of the guitar gifted to Jimmy Page by Jeff Beck, Page’s predecessor, in seminal U.K. psychedelic blues-rock outfit the Yardbirds. Page promptly customized the guitar—a 1959 model with a white blonde finish and rosewood fingerboard—by applying eight round mirrors to it in order to, in his own words “make it a kinetic sculpture” and “a channeling vehicle for music” the guitar featured on The Yardbirds singles including ‘Think About It’.

The Telecaster was then destined to receive further customization by Page and went on to become the ‘Dragon’ used for the electric guitar work on eponymous 1969 album Led Zeppelin, one of the most acclaimed and influential debut albums in rock history. True to the original, the Jimmy Page Signature Telecaster has a two-piece ash body with off-center seam, with an eight-hole pickguard and Journeyman Relic lacquer finish. The tinted maple neck has a custom Jimmy Page 1959 profile, topped by a flat-lam rosewood fingerboard with a 7.25” radius and vintage-upgrade frets. The two hand-wound 1958 Telecaster pickups have three-way switching with modern wiring. Other features include a top-load/string-through-body Telecaster bridge with threaded steel saddles, vintage-style tuning machines, and bone nut. Includes deluxe hardshell tweed case, ACE reissue "Stained-Glass" woven strap, mirror application kit, black coil cable and certificate of authenticity.
