JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 I remember reading one time what he used for his rhythm pick up in 1975 that has that muddy, beeefy tone but I can't remember now. Anyone know for certain? Quote
huw Posted January 6, 2012 Posted January 6, 2012 In 1975 the #1 Les Paul had a PAF in the rhythm/neck positon and a T-top in the lead/bridge position. I couldn't tell you for sure if the neck PAF was the original or had been replaced by then with the 1960 PAF beleived to be in the guitar today. The #2 Les Paul had AFAIK a pair of PAFs, but was only really used as a spare (string breaks, #1 out of tune etc) or for DADGAD tuning for Kashmir. Quote

Steven McKay Posted February 12, 2012 Posted February 12, 2012 Seymour Duncan 59s will get you Jimmys tone for not much cash. I just put a pair of their Seth Lovers in my Les Paul though, and I would recommend those for anyone playing Zep stuff, they cost a little more than the 59s though. Quote
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted May 11, 2012 Author Posted May 11, 2012 ^ I have a '59 model Seymour Duncan PAF in the bridge. I am thinking I will add another for the neck pick-up. Quote
JimmyPageZoSo56 Posted May 26, 2012 Author Posted May 26, 2012 Just bought a "59 model Seymour Duncan neck PAF. Going to put that in and we'll see how it sounds Quote

I remember seeing pictures and hearing accounts that when #1 had problems, he'd use #2. There are pictures from the 1975 tour showing him using #2 for Dazed and Confused. Back cover to Snow Jobs. sorry, can't find the original and then there's this one; My question is that in this picture, why does #2 have a black bridge pick-up when it was a cream pick-up for the 1975 tour and from this photo taken in 1977; Quote
dazedjeffy Posted May 27, 2012 Posted May 27, 2012 Either Jimmy Page wanted to change his tone up a bit or a pickup failed. Quote
