Jimmy Page hand carved signature into a 1951 Gibson LG-3

[mitchruk]

I recently acquired a 1951 Gibson LG-3 that was rumoured to have been signed by Jimmy Page himself with a pocket knife at a bar in Toronto as per the seller. This may be a long shot... but has anyone out their ever come across this particular guitar or heard of any stories of it? Truly incredible sounding vintage Gibson and would be even cooler if I could figure out some of the history behind this beauty. Cheers.

IMHO, it doesn't have anything to do with Jimmy Page.

I completely agree with Sam.

Whoever did it probably figured using a marker would be an obvious fake. It's still an obvious fake.

What is it supposed to say? I can see Page but can’t tell what any other parts are supposed to be

i'm undecided about this, i mean who would deface such a gem of a guitar with a fake signature when it would not be out of the question for someone to be able to verify its authenticity.
