• Guys, we've spent considerable money converting the Les Paul Forum to this new XenForo platform, and we have ongoing monthly operating expenses. THE "DONATIONS" TAB IS NOW WORKING, AND WE WOULD APPRECIATE ANY DONATIONS YOU CAN MAKE TO KEEP THE LES PAUL FORUM GOING! Thank you!

Jimmy said that the Clarence and White Stringbender modification ruined the guitar. Its a real shame as it featured in many Zeppelin performances from approx 1973 and he clearly liked it if the number of' in concert' photographs are anything to go by.
Jimmy says a lot of things. The sentiment regarding his then-newly B-Bender-equipped Les Paul was reported by an interviewer in the mid-'80s (late in the Firm era, IIRC), before Page went on to play that guitar at virtually every high-profile gig ever since. Photos of it are also featured prominently in his recent Anthology coffee table book.

Yes I agree, regardless of Pages sentiment regarding his newly modified Les Paul, he then went on to make use of it in ways not possible prior to the B Bender mod.
