  1. Thank goodness he didn't use the Danelectro. While they are cool guitars I always felt they sound slightly out of tune. In a one guitar band they just dont have the heft needed to nail those songs. Fine as a texture in the studio or on say the JP/Crowes tour when you have others backing you up but as a one guitar used for such a monumental song the LP or a Gibson hollow body was by far the correct choice for any Danelectro songs. Kashmir could have easily turned into a train wreck. And its one of their heaviest and most memorable riffs.
  2. When I saw JPJ solo it was the only Zep song he played. Made me think he had more to do with it. But damn, when he started it he and his band sounded like zeppelin. No vocals which was good.
  3. I would love a remix of this album. Just sounds flat to me. Very dated. I guess a new cover would be too much to ask? I think it came out at the wrong time. Page will always be a draw but 1993 was when albums were starting to sound raw and this album sounds like a Whikesnake production. Plus I know I was sick of Coverdale by that point. The cheesy videos in constant rotation and I was done with him for awhile. Although I can tell its Page but he didn't have a guitar sound as good as even Led Zep I and that was recorded barebones. Jimmy should have taken the lead on that.
  4. Jimmy's #1 doesn't have the complicated wiring. Just 50's with a mod to the bridge pickup. The wiring scheme that he's now known for didn't happen until way into the 80s. Well past any Zeppelin stuff. If it was me I'd buy a regular Gibson sunburst Les Paul and change the pickups and wiring to normal and be done with it. Brandonwound pickups make an excellent JP#1 set. Email them for the proper wiring of the 70s. I'm not sure I remember correctly. I can't see a reason to drop that much cash for his signature especially if you get a custom shop 50's. Buy it from Wildwood guitars or the Gibson Garage as you're sure to get a good one and could return it easily if youre not happy. Wildwood guitar shop is particularly selective in their guitars. Unless you have the money for a JP signature. Which certainly would be great investment as well as bringing you great pleasure. I think Jimmy's #1 is a 1958? No matter, they have 1959's. On this site you can see all their guitars. Plus you could call and ask which one is like Page's. Here is just a random example. These guys are pros and have their guitars personally made or selected by Gibson. They also have just the regular American series which is cheaper but im sure you could have one picked to look the same as Jimmy's. https://wildwoodguitars.com/product/82110/wildwood-spec-1958-les-paul-standard-light-aged-6/?cat_id=21825
  5. Brandonwound pickups make a T-Top pickup. They have the original molds and machines from the Gibson factory. I bought their JP#1 set. It's a PAF neck with a T-Top bridge. Fanstastic. And around Duncan prices or cheaper. Best pickups ive ever heard. https://brandonwoundpickups.com/product/ttop-humbuckers/
