Cecil. Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Did he use the guitar with a row of switches, a Les Paul gold which was never see again after 1992.? (ish) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hecube Posted April 6, 2012 Author Share Posted April 6, 2012 The guitar you're talking about is a Les Paul fitted with a Transperformance system. Jimmy has two of those, a purple one and a gold top one. He's been using it in all his projects so far, even at the O2 concert. That's not the guitar I'm asking about. BTW, I think I made a mistake. It's not a 12 string he's using on "Shake my tree". Nonetheless, I'd like to know what acoustic guitar that is in the song intro... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil. Posted April 6, 2012 Share Posted April 6, 2012 Oh dear, could it have be a 12 string Melobar or a Yamaha acoustic.? Hecube. thank you, for the help with gold guitar with switchy things on, Not really that up to date .... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedjeffy Posted April 7, 2012 Share Posted April 7, 2012 Most likely Jimmy Page used the Washburn EA20-12 Acoustic/Electric, which he used since 1988. As a side note, he actually had FOUR Gibson Les Paul Classic Premium Plus guitars equipped with the TransPerformance system, now the AxCent Tuning System. The Goldtop the Wine Red the 'Pepto Pismol', which he traded to AxCent for..... the "Eerie Dess", which he named. Thanks to Neil Skinn, founder of AxCent Tuning Systems for the info.

hecube Posted April 13, 2012 Author Share Posted April 13, 2012 you mean phase switch the switches on the transperformance guitars are preset and navigation buttons. It really is a small computer driving the system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dazedjeffy Posted April 16, 2012 Share Posted April 16, 2012 #2 (not the Joe Walsh one) had the pair of spring-loaded push buttons installed under the pickguard for series/parallel and phase switching. The Transperformance-equipped Les Pauls' buttons allowed for solely different tunings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cecil. Posted April 20, 2012 Share Posted April 20, 2012 Thanks, I really did wonder what the buttons did, but was rather ashamed to ask. As you can guess I am not a guitarist..... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
