the body electric Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 Was wondering if anyone knows what guitar Page used on opening of WLL from LZII. Was it a 1959 Sunburst Les Paul?

dazedjeffy Posted October 9, 2012 Share Posted October 9, 2012 (edited) It could have been a Sunburst Dano. Edited October 9, 2012 by dazedjeffy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dallas Knebs Posted October 11, 2012 Share Posted October 11, 2012 one of the best mic jobs ever, has the up front bite simulataneously a presence and space. Nice sunburst Tele that one... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidZoso Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 (edited) Well some people think it was a Tele.... He used a Tele for the first album but switched to the '59 Les Paul he bought from Joe Walsh for the rest of his career. He did use the Tele for the solo on Stairway to Heaven. He used the Danelectro for most slide work and if I remember correctly also used it for some of the studio version of Ten Years Gone. He also used the lake placid blue stratocaster on the Crunge and some of Presence. The Doubleneck was never used in the studio except for one song- Carouselambra. Most of 'In Through the Out Door' was recorded with the Brown Tele with B Bender except 'In the Evening' and that was the strat. I think Wearing and Tearing and maybe Ozone Baby and Darlene might have the Les Paul on them. I know you didn't ask all this but I thought I would give my 2 cents anyway haha Edited October 12, 2012 by DavidZoso Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted October 12, 2012 Share Posted October 12, 2012 it's implied tho... green light til its a red light I know you didn't ask all this but I thought I would give my 2 cents anyway haha Ozone Baby and Darlene sound like the neck position on the Gibson Explorer to me Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-o-S-o Posted October 13, 2012 Share Posted October 13, 2012 I don't know who said it, but I read once that Page used the Black Beauty on Whole Lotta Love. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
3hrsoflunacy Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 I don't know who said it, but I read once that Page used the Black Beauty on Whole Lotta Love. I had read that several times over the years, but I will be damned if I am gonna look for it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Z-o-S-o Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Turns it was Pagey himself who said it, but he only said he used it on Whole Lotta Love, nothing about the main riff, could be buried in the middle section. Then again knowing Page it might not even be used at all. BTW I can't be arsed to search for the actual quote, sorry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted October 14, 2012 Share Posted October 14, 2012 Guitar World January '91 Eddie Kramer verified it as well. EK reportedly has pics of the sessions including the recording of the solo takes.

Glyn Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 (edited) Listening to the multitrack of Whole Lotta Love, it sounds like the middle section guitar has a tremolo on it. Which guitar might that be? Edited October 15, 2012 by publicenemy3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 you know its the Black Beauty Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joey1985 Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 apparently Larry Dimarzio said page used the Black beauty on whole lotta love and I have read that more than once as well. Also heard he used that Vox hybrid solid state tube head on that track too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DavidZoso Posted October 15, 2012 Share Posted October 15, 2012 it's implied tho... green light til its a red light Ozone Baby and Darlene sound like the neck position on the Gibson Explorer to me hmmm never knew he used a Gibson Explorer. He used that Gibson RD Artist for Misty Mountain Hop live at the Copenhagen warm ups and for the 2nd Knebworth show in 1979. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DewieCox Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 He used the Danelectro for most slide work and if I remember correctly also used it for some of the studio version of Ten Years Gone. Ten Years Gone was the cream Strat that JPJ returned to him during O2 rehearsals. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dallas Knebs Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 I thought it was a Firebird at first but saw on a tumblr a couple of pics of Polar Studios from November '78 that Page had an Explorer in the harem. I did not see the RD in any of the pics. He did have a hollow body and the basics. The sound on that track is stand alone as far as tone. Can't tell what he did exactly. On vinyl with the headphones on it's tasty. hmmm never knew he used a Gibson Explorer.

Yes I have a classic rock magazine from around the time of the o2 show and it showed the cream strat. But it is also a possibility he used both it and the danelectro for different tracks on Ten Years Gone just like I believe Achilles Last Stand has more guitars on it than just the Les Paul.

The white Strat was used on Thank You and was returned to Jimmy Page ca. September 2007. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magerogue Posted October 20, 2012 Share Posted October 20, 2012 Hummm Jimmy used the same tele that he used on the first album on WLL. He did overdubs with his les paul on ALL and used a stratocaster for most of the Presence album, the only song that probably has another les paul on it is candy store rock. I thought he used a danelectro 12 string on thank you ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
