Is this true?/Anyone heard any more about this?
If true it's fascinating!! I wonder what kind of condition it is in and if we'll see it soon.
According to Gibson.com's Peter Hodgson, Jimmy Page's long-lost 1960 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty guitar has been found.
The axe was stolen from the Led Zeppelin guitarist in 1970.
The news sprang from a simple question posted to former Led Zeppelin roadie Henry The Horse Smith's Facebook Q&A page.
Last week, a fan named Sue Clement asked Smith if he had any new information about the guitar. On February 27, he replied:
Glad to announce the Black Beauty is now back in the hands of Jimmy, thanks in part to (producer/musician/collector) Perry Margouleff. This happened just a few months ago. It was a happy day for me to see Jimmy get this back.
While photos of the guitar aren't easy to track down, Page is shown holding it on the cover of a CD called Jimmy Page and His Heavy Friends: Hip Young Guitar Slinger, below. (It looks like a very fab, gear and groovy album, by the way.)
Stay tuned for more details about this story.
In late February 2016, it was very quietly announced that Pages long-lost 1960 Les Paul Custom Black Beauty guitar was found and safely returned to him after a 46 year absence. Stolen in 1970 and returned with the help of producer/musician/collector Perry Margouleff, Black Beauty was a huge staple in Jimmy Pages pre-Zeppelin era days as a studio musician; while there arent many photos of this gorgeous guitar, shes depicted with Jimmy on the cover of Hip Young Guitar Slinger a compilation of Pages studio work prior to joining Led Zeppelin.
Congratulations to Jimmy on being reunited with his lost love
