Jimmy's stolen black beauty Les Paul


Recommended Posts

The Star-Tribune article referenced in the video has a picture of a black Les Paul without a Bixby tremolo. (ooops) 

Also Jimmy did not use the Black Les Paul on Whole Lotta Love. Per Jimmy Page The Anthology, (Page 142) Jimmy's equipment on Whole Lotta Love was:

Danelectro (slide)

Les Paul No 1

Fender Dragon Telecaster

Vox UL7120 Amp

Vox C02 'Long Tom' Tape echo

Rickenbacker Transonic Speaker Cabinets

Willie’s American Guitars was my neighborhood shop growing up. Joe Walsh bought a Bass cabinet my Dad was consigning there in the late 80’s. I used to go there every weekend and ogle the 20k vintage Les Pauls. Same guys still work there today. I’m completely dumbfounded that they had possession of the Black Beauty TWICE. I probably saw it. My Dad probably played it. Incredible story.
