I was commissioned by a Led Zeppelin's fan to make the 2 Les Paul used by Jimmy, known as Number One and Number Two.
Today, I start with his Les Paul Number One with the cream pickup.
The guitar, which he purchased from Joe Walsh (who was in the James Gang at the time) in 1969 during one of Led Zeppelin's early U.S. tours, has been closely associated with Page for decades. It was heavily featured on the majority of Led Zeppelin records and live shows.
The miniature is on 1/4 scale, 11 inch / 28 cm lenght. I do all the parts, more than 130. I use steel, plastic, wood and resin.

My Jimmy Page action figure approves of your miniature #1 Les Paul, but says you need to shave the neck even further for his tiny hands.

Jimmy's second 1959 Gibson Les Paul Standard (Serial# 91703) is believed to have bought in England shortly after the 1973 U.S. tour concluded. The guitar didn't make an appearance until January 1975, when it was brought out on tour as a back up for his trusted Number One.


Page wanted his Number Two to feel and look and play as similarly to his Number One as possible to achieve this the neck was also shaved to replicate the same profile that was on Number One, and the Kluson tuners were replaced with Nickel Grovers.

Number Two is the guitar that Jimmy had the under-pickguard switches for series/parallel and phase switching which were installed into at some point the early 80's, not during Led Zeppelin. Four push pulls were also installed to add the ability of coil splitting each pickup and the option of putting all four coils in parallel.
