joey1985 Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Years ago I had a yardbirds book with a picture of jimmy playing what was probably jeff beck's les paul seeing that jimmy only had his black les paul at the time and only used the tele on tour. I'm guessing Jeff ditched a gig and used becks guitar for fun or broke a string on the tele, anyway does anyone have this picture, it's the only picture i have ever seen of jimmy playing a les paul on stage before zeppelin. There might be one other in the book from the same show, I can't remeber though. Jimmy is wearing white pants and a dark colored jacket, very cool picture.

joey1985 Posted June 29, 2011 Author Share Posted June 29, 2011 Thanks, thats not it though. This was a photo of Jimmy on stage in black and white, it could have been that same show as you picture though. I have never seen this picture before i bought the book or after I lost it. What makes it rare is he is playing a les paul and I don't believe I have ever seen him with a les paul onstage with the yardbirds or even heard of it except this picture. Thanks though Sam!

TheStairwayRemainsTheSame Posted June 29, 2011 Share Posted June 29, 2011 Could it be this? Although it's an epiphone so I'm guessing not Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Texas Melanie Posted June 30, 2011 Share Posted June 30, 2011 ^^^^^^^^ Cool photo! Is that Beck's guitar or Jimmy's Black Beauty? I can't tell. I don't know if I can see the tremelo arm or not.(Or whatever it is called on the Gibson BB) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 YESSSS thank you so much, I love that picture. That is not Jimmy"s black les paul, I think It's Jeff's because the pickgaurd looks black.I have only seen that picture in the book that I lost where did you find it? must be rare for that fact and that it is the only onstage picture of Jimmy using a les paul I have ever seen before zeppelin.

joey1985 Posted June 30, 2011 Author Share Posted June 30, 2011 Actually I know for a fact that is Jeff's guitar. I'm guessing beck ditched a show and Jimmy either broke a string and picked up Jeff's guitar or just wanted to play it. Also Jimmy always stood on the other side of the stage. here is the same guitar with beck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
