stairway71 Posted June 9, 2008 Share Posted June 9, 2008 P.S. Hard Rock San Diego has the Maroon Ibanez double-neck guitar used by Jimmy during Led Zeppelin's 1975 tour, according to their web site. Jimmy Page never used an Ibanez double-neck guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SteveAJones Posted June 9, 2008 Author Share Posted June 9, 2008 Anyone interested to learn more about Hard Rock Cafe's collection would enjoy this dvd: http://www.amazon.com/Hard-Rock-Treasures-...e/dp/B000FC2GJG One of the highlights is a five minute interview segment recorded with Jimmy Page at the Sunset Marquis in Los Angeles. During the interview Jimmy presents Don with a Led Zeppelin item for the HRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It sort of pissed me off to see the glaring mistake- thought that the Hard Rock should have known better! (Uh- maybe you could say something to the management, nicely, to see if it could be corrected?....) BTW- we were in there a few times during our visit, great people working there!

jsj Posted June 11, 2008 Share Posted June 11, 2008 the HRC in birmingham UK has (or had about two years ago) a suit worn by bonham and a cheap les paul copy signed by jimmy. as i was looking at the guitar which has a framed picture from knebworth next to it a member of staff came over to me and said "you like led zeppelin sir?" "of course" "that guitar is the exact same one he's playing in that photo" "no it isnt " "yes it is i can assure you" "mate in the picture he's clearly playing a gibson and the guitar hanging up isnt a gibson" "i think you'll find youre mistaken sir" i left him to it, he was clearly firm in his mistaken belief Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He did take a Fender Custom Shop model on the road with him (solo tour) and it may be that bass in question. The youtube video is the one where he is sitting on a couch with a the Fender Custom Shop model showing how he played some Zeppelin riffs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
