Anyone looking to sell their Jimmy Page #1?

Looking for one with a big top; I know that is rare for this run.........


PM me if interested. Thanks!

Good luck with your search!

I wish Gibson didn't make these rare unobtanium runs for sky-high prices.
Should have made these a semi-production or regualr-ish model like Slash is doing. I'd have bought one.

number 16 is in the netherlands, that has a top like the orginal, 24k in euros.

Agreed. I am familiar with that one. It has been for sale for months. When it was first listed I wrote them and told them that Gibson verified Page's #1 as a 59 when they first made the run. The seller thanked me for the info but never changed the listing. LOL

I would prefer to find the biggest top possible in the custom authentic version in order to keep costs down.

a lot of people have had the aged version up for that much since they were released, not seen any evidence any have actually sold for that in my looking about over the years, in UK mostly sold for 10-12k.

There was a non-aged one that just sold on reverb, was on for less than a day. Asking price was $9699

I have owned 2 of the aged ones over the years and 6 of the custom authentic. The aged ones did start out in the 20K+ range. But they dropped in to the low to mid teens for several years. Lately the asking prices have climbed back up into the 20s, but I only know of one that sold for that much.

I forgot what the MSRP was when they announced this issue, but I recall thinking it was preposterous at the time. As it turns out, it would have been a sound investment (plus you would have enjoyed playing it all these years!).

that was one of my old ones that I owned for five years. A friend of mine bought it from them and I think he’s nuts for paying that much!

I think he is too, I loved my ‘87, no guitar I had before or since has Had the same vibe it gave me.

John, good to see you back in the fold! Another option is Digimart. The japanese market get their unofficial Page run to spec by getting them sent as “‘58’s” in Orange sunset fade with thin necks. Now i’m
not sure if the necks are replicated dead on (my guess is yes or damn close) as that market usually demands accuracy. Prices were reasonable too. I know you have purchased from over there previously so you know the routine. Hope you are building up your Page collection again. It was mighty.

I was offered £18,000 for mine recently, but i wouldn't sell it for that.

These limited guitars creeping up in value or at least maintaining their value is a good excuse i use to justify buying them... it makes me feel less guilty haha
I look at it as a multi purpose purchase... you get an amazing guitar you can play (when aged you need not worry for small marks), you get a piece of history, the money you use to buy it cannot be wasted elsewhere whilst you own it... it s all good

Those certificates are pretty hokey for what you’re paying.
