  1. *BIG PRICE DROP, MUST SELL! $3650.... email me at: goldtop57@optonline.net
  2. Excuse the not great audio quality, but hope you enjoy. I’ve loved this guitar will be sorry to see it go! This is a 2018 VOS Custom Shop '57 Reissue Gibson Les Paul purchased new by me and sent to Tom Bartlett in Canada for conversion to a replica of Jimmy Page's #3 candy apple red Les Paul... Page had two identical looking candy apple red #3s in the '70s and one of them was originally a '50s goldtop with narrow binding like this R7 Reissue. I believe mine is the closest and best made #3 replica you will find anywhere!.. Fantastic sounding and playing '57 Goldtop reissue that Tom sprayed candy apple red over the gold just as Jimmy had done to his. Tom also removed the original Kluson style tuners and installed faded gold Grovers like Jimmy's. Other appointments done exactly as Page's are uncovered original double black Custom Buckers, black historic pickup rings, cream switch tip, original cream pickguard and switch ring and gold barrel knobs. All other hardware and plastics are original to the guitar. I changed out the original pots to my fave Dimarzio branded CTS custom taper pots, very similar in response and taper to original vintage Centralabs... The guitar already had the VOS treatment so it is NOT mint but in beautiful lightly aged condition. It has some nicks on the back and also small ones on the front and is beginning to lacquer check... SEE THE PICTURES IN THE REVERB AD OR EMAIL ME FOR CLOSEUP PICTURES... I swore I would never sell this guitar but Im looking to purchase a heavy aged Murphy Lab or Bartlett '59 Replica and this one has to go... Comes with original Lifton style reissue case and all case candy and original COA... Original pickup covers, tuners, pots and amber switch tip are in the case as well.... Plays and sounds great!!!... $4900 (Priced higher on Reverb) INCLUDES SHIPPING TO CONTINENTAL USA ONLY. Email me at goldtop57@optonline.net REVERB LISTING: https://reverb.com/item/80418219-jimm...
  3. I have a couple of these Univox 2X12 cabinets. Made in ‘71. The one on the right, I spray painted black back in the 70s like an idiot! These cabinets were made at the Unicord facility on Long Island, the same location where all imported Marshalls arrived from England before being distributed to the rest of the country. The Univox cabinets were likely on stage with Zeppelin because of Page’s close relationship with Tony Franks, the super tech wizard from Unicord. Franks is the guy that modded Page’s amps to KT88s on one of his visits to NY.
  4. That is WAY too freaking cool!!!… I think in the last photo Robert is saying ‘So what the hell do all these switches do!?’
  5. Happy this has been a wonderful experience for you!… And thank YOU for gracing us with your presence here… this has been a great ride for us as well!
  6. Nope that ain’t gonna happen!… and you’re not gonna wear your tunic and I’m not gonna wear my ‘75 tour shirt and split it in half LOL! But at least you could say that you saw Robert in ‘all his glory’… I would say you had quite the clear view!
  7. Makes sense to me! Hey I think people mean well but some of the requests are a bit out there… comes with the territory now that you’re a celebrity lol!
  8. Agreed that Robert would never remember every show he’s done and the fans at those shows. But he likely would remember that clip of you from the movie. Totally agree that wearing the tunic to a Plant/Krauss concert and hoping for an invite backstage is a little much lol… But it would be nice if somebody pointed out this thread to him, I think he would smile.
  9. Hi Ana. If you don’t mind me saying so I would think the reason Robert pointed to you was because he was attracted to you! And the tunic made you stand out even further. And just as his performance was moving to you, your presence obviously moved him as well, enough to want to gift you with the tambourine!
  10. LOL!.... hope you dont mind the questions and respect your privacy if you cant answer... but this really is kind of mind blowing!... There were a LOT of us that had a crush on you LOL!... so did you go the first, second or last night?... and if you got a tambourine, guessing that you did meet Robert after the show? Had you met him already?
  11. Holy moly Ana!!!.... We've been wondering who you were for decades!!!... I was at that show too (if it was the last night 7/29)... What a great and memorable moment in the film, watching your reaction!... And please dont be offended, but I also always thought that the guy next to you had this look that said 'Wow, I just lost out to Robert Plant!'
