Jimmy Page 1960 Les Paul Custom tribute

[Gretev1]

Why hasn‘t Gibson released a replica of Jimmy Page‘s 1960 Les Paul Custom 3 pickup since he has had it returned to him? Yes, I know they released a tribute to this guitar in 2008 but not a dead on replica.
I think they should release 3 versions: a version as it was in 1960, new with the gold reflector knobs. Then a version as it was when Jimmy had it modded in the 70‘s with the switches and popped pickup covers and a version as it is now, restored. Or maybe just two versions. But definitely they should release something. I can‘t be the only one who thinks this?
Also, while we‘re on the topic: when will Gibson get it right with the gold reflector knobs? The reflector knobs on the 1960 LP‘s are good with the shiny top but every reflector knob with gold is „brushed“ not mirror like and it looks bad!

I just wish they would do two guitars.

1st an A5 Rod Magnet neck and P90 bridge LP Custom or Standard with a '60s Slim Taper neck, and other color options besides only black.

2nd a 3xP90 LP Custom or Standard.

But as a Jimmy Page fanboi I would not be pissed off if they listened to you too.

They have: 2008 JP BB



Expect more exclusive Murphy Lab versions as Page's announced collaboration with "New Gibson" continues... also fairly certain Gibson will space these releases out; will we see Number 3, 2...maybe? definitely another 1!

also to be very well spaced out will be the dollar sign digits $$$$$$$$$$$$

Jimmy Page and Gibson will release 150 replicas of the 1964 Gibson SJ-200 acoustic guitar Page played on Led Zeppelin’s debut album, it has been revealed.

The news of the second replica to come from Page’s new partnership with Gibson was mentioned in the final issue of Guitar Player magazine, published on October 15, which includes a new interview with Page.

The magazine reports that Gibson has produced 150 replicas of the acoustic guitar, with 50 designated as collector’s edition models that are signed by Page and were played by him in Nashville earlier this year at RCA Studio B.

“We weren’t quite sure if maybe he’d just a play a few chords on each one,” Gibson senior product development manager Robi Johns told Guitar Player, “but not only did he play each of them for three or four minutes, he even suggested that some of them be put in alternate tunings, so he’d be surprised with each SJ-200 that he played. That’s pretty cool.”

A full reveal of the guitar with pricing information is expected on October 22, LedZepNews hears.

Page borrowed his original Gibson SJ-200 guitar from producer Mickie Most and used it to record “Babe I’m Gonna Leave You”, “Your Time Is Gonna Come” and “Black Mountain Side”, he explained in his 2020 book “Jimmy Page: The Anthology”.

“What made it different from most other J-200s is that it had a Tune-o-matic moustache bridge with a neck similar to that of a Les Paul. It was only an experiment that they did for a year or two in the Sixties,” Page writes in the book.

Page wasn’t able to borrow the same guitar to record Led Zeppelin’s second album, he explained in the book, but he did play it again in his April 23, 1970 appearance on “The Julie Felix Show”:

In Page’s “Anthology” book the guitar is twice identified as a 1965 model, but Gibson now refers to it as originating from 1964.

Guitar Player also reports that Gibson will begin selling regular production models of Page’s Gibson EDS-1275 double neck guitar in December that don’t include its precise Murphy Lab aging and weathering.

In March, Gibson announced a $50,000 replica of Page’s double neck guitar which has since sold out.

The article also reports that Page’s Sundragon amp company will produce a new model named “Nymph” that will be released in late 2024 or early 2025.
