I get the feeling it's gonna be expensive,and TM aged due to the "headstock and heel" repair.

Anyone know when it's due to come out?

zoso777 · 01-15-2009, 09:29 PM

I want it !!!

Fracture · 01-15-2009, 09:31 PM

I believe the picture to the right was taken in Chicago
April '77 .LZ played 4 nights at the old Chicago Stadium.
I was lucky enough to go 3 of the 4 nights.Pagey got sick drunk
one night and the show was cut short.

banditguitarist1 · 01-15-2009, 10:10 PM

im not liking the fake "repairs" it will probably be very expensive if it was nice enough and I had the money I would get it but I don't and probably wont.

rumbling_groover · 01-16-2009, 07:26 AM

I'd like to what switching options it comes with. We can pretty much guess the rest of the specs:

Murphy aged
Page compound radius neck profile
Page Buckers
Grovers (in the picture)

ledzeppy · 01-16-2009, 08:41 AM

Well if they're going to accurately replicate the wiring, it should have 2 switches under the pickguard for phase switching and series/parallel and then 4 push pulls for coil split and more parallel wiring options.

I have witnessed the tone of number 2 and it is fatter sounding, it would have been great if there were more pics!!

Now that would be cool, but I think they will just use the wiring from the '97 Page Sig.

#2!! looks like my axe!!

Drave · 01-16-2009, 10:22 AM

There's 4 push pulls for coil splitting and putting all 4 coils in parallel and then there's two switches under the pickguard for phase switching and series/parallel switching. It's probably the most overhyped thing I've seen, he didn't even use it during Led Zeppelin.

More on #2 here: UG Community @ Ultimate-Guitar.Com - CROTM: Jimmy Page (Detailed w/ many pics)

Huh????????

#2 was a '59 Burst (Serial# 91703) which Page is believed to have bought sometime shortly after the '73 US tour in England. The guitar didn't make an appearance until January 1975, and would only be used this year except for a noise solo at Knebworth. #2 was the Kashmir guitar in 1975, not the Danelectro. It was also sometimes used for Dazed and Confused, Moby Dick, and Over the Hills and Far Away. You can see Kashmir, Over the Hills and Far Away and Moby Dick performances with #2 at Earls Court in '75.

I was referring to the wiring. I'm the one that wrote that thread there by the way.

***FLICKOFLASH*** · 01-16-2009, 11:36 AM

Why we not seeing the front BRAZ MAYBE !!!!

JimmyAce2006 · 01-16-2009, 11:48 AM

If it has the compound neck profile, count me in.

Nigel Tufnel's tech · 01-16-2009, 12:18 PM

Jimmy's Number#2 had its neck shaved to resemble that of #1. so if you don't like the neck on Jimmy's last replica, you probly wont like this one. But if you do, its a good chance to get a replica of a guitar Jimmy considered not worthy of been given #1 status by him.

Forgive me if someone else already pointed this out, but I just noticed that the back control cover plate appears to be in the "correct" position finally.

I'm pretty sure it will. My guess is will be the same as the last one but a different colour with the switching options from the 97 sig.

JimmyAce2006 · 01-16-2009, 12:47 PM

hopefully it will also have the two switches under the guard as well. i think it would make a good "#2" next to my Page CA. I have two of those at the moment; one needs to go.

EEF13 · 01-16-2009, 02:18 PM

I wonder if its gonna be based on the one with the Dimarzio Super Distortion

#2 had PAFs and reportedly still does, they were rewired when the wiring mods took place. There was some speculation #3 (his red '69/70 Custom) had the Dimarzio, I highly doubt that though. Forget the magazine article but it had Seymour Duncans in it in the late 80's, supposedly these are what the Seymour Duncan Jimmy Page pickups are based on.

rumbling_groover · 01-16-2009, 04:33 PM

I doubt if they will put a double cream in the bridge ;0(

rumbling_groover · 01-16-2009, 04:34 PM

Or do the switches :0(

Saiko · 01-16-2009, 04:37 PM

They cannot accurately do this guitar uncovered without double cream pickups as that is what was in it when they replicated it. They will probably pay a royalty to Larry DiMarzio so they can do it...
