IDK, but this is one of the better sites for info on Jimmy Page's gear.

More than one guitar multi-tracked to create the overall sound.

I have been on a first 5 Zepplin album binge the past week.

I don't think Les Paul played on any of their records. He was too busy doing his own thing.

A man of good taste. Most local blues-classic rock bands down here mindlessly play SRV and Allman Brothers songs, but I've never heard any of them do any early Zeppelin. What's up with that?

Yep he used that and a strat for much of that album. Some kind of electric 12 string, maybe a fender.

My favorite zeppelin album.
It is a tribute to Page that it is difficult to pin his tone down to a guitar on a lot of tracks.

Probably due to the singers.

I agree.

Page used tons of guitars on each album, though the Tele did see a lot of action, most notably for the Stairway solo and acoustically mixed in for Over The Hills.

He also used a Hallmark Swept Wing, and had both a Tele and LP with a B-bender in them.

Re: houses of the holy

i'm guessing les paul on the ocean... blending the pickups, messing with the tone. idunno how else you can get that kind of sound. i guess it could be two guitars layered also..

Re: houses of the holy

Probably a Les Paul, a Tele, and several others throughout that album...and lots of studio manipulation.

Singing Robert Plant stuff is really hard

Well, when did he start using what's now known as the "Jimmy Page wiring"? I'm still not real clear on what all the tonal options are with that, but I'd assume he was using it by Houses.

Ocean definitely sounds like some sort of phased humbucker on the main riff, with a singled Tele for the solo?


Then again, he was a studio wiz at a young age, so he had a bag of tricks when he stepped into the Yardbirds.

I imagine if Jimmy Page and Les Paul ever put their heads together, we'd be multi-tracking in a glass of water and getting the best amp tones out of a potato and a can of soda.

Re: houses of the holy

The "Jimmy Page Wiring" came about AFTER Zeppelin.

It seems, through all of my research, that it was never used on any LZ album
