Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster (Natural)

Overview of Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster (Natural)

When the opening riff of "Good Times Bad Times" came through the radio in 1969, everything changed. In that moment Jimmy Page cemented his legacy and altered the course of popular music with a single guitar: his Fender Telecaster. The Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster is an homage to that guitar, which began life in its factory White Blonde lacquer finish, then became the "mirror guitar" before taking on its final form - a magical one-of-a-kind instrument, hand-painted by Page himself, that would go on to produce some of the most iconic riffs of the 20th Century.

Custom Oval "C" neck with a vintage fingerboard radius

If you're a guitarist who prefers a thin '60s neck profile with a little more meat, the Jimmy Page Tele's Custom Oval "C" shape is your cup of tea. In 1959, Fender started doing rosewood fingerboards on Telecasters, and that's what this one has, along with a comfortable vintage-spec 7.25-inch radius. Fingerboard designs have flattened out over the decades, the theory being that flatter radii are better for soloing in the high register. The fact remains that Mr. Page was a prodigious soloist on his Tele (after all, he played the epic "Stairway to Heaven" solo on it). And that's all we have to say about that. As an added touch, the finish on the neck is finished in "Road Worn" lacquer, that shows wear and checking that occurs naturally as a finish ages.

Jimmy Page Custom '59 single-coil pickups

These Jimmy Page Custom '59 single-coils are designed to Jimmy's exact specifications to deliver the searing Tele bite and visceral crunch we all know and love from early Zeppelin records. And trust us: these pups pack a punch. After all, the originals had the power to cut through one of the heaviest rock rhythm sections of the '70s: John Paul Jones and John Bonham.
