Jimmy Page x Fender… Coming January 2019

Fender just posted this video on Social Media of a Jimmy Page Tele that will apparently come out in January 2019:

It’s very cool. I’m actually looking forward to it.

I saw it’s actually a full set of 4 guitars. https://www.planetrock.com/news/roc...orces-to-recreate-his-famous-1959-telecaster/

I won’t be able to afford any, of course, but I still think it’s awesome

I sure hope it comes stock with 9's and a free DI box to inject it into your sound board.

At least It's not a tweaked cheap Les Paul copy (in the vain of the Gibson Hendrix Strat I just learned existed.)

Dunno really...but think back in those olden days they didn't have 9s....so JP probably used a banjo string for the first then dropped the rest on down the line...to be authentic then it should probably come with a banjo string @ #1...

I’m surprised this wasn’t done 25 years ago

If you believe internet lore, Jimmy never actually used a Les Paul, only a Telecaster. All the acoustic stuff on III? Telecaster. Kashmir? Telecaster. All of My Love? Dragon Tele with a bender!

dont forget "Baby I am gonna leave you". Original was played on a tele, then Joan Baez played this on a acoustic

A lot of his best known stuff is a Tele. Stairway is all Fender for the electric side.

I wonder who the 'friend' of Page's was that (without being asked and also while JP was away on tour) decided that what the Dragon Tele needed most was a refin - and supposedly 'killed' it in the process.

I wonder what Gibson did to piss off the most iconic Les Paul player in history?

Two words that start with H and J

I don't care if Page used rubbers bands stretched over a shoebox. I like the sound he got.

The thing people don't get is if he is using a Marshall, Rickenbacker or Fender amp; a Les Paul, Telecaster or used rubbers bands stretched over a shoebox he is going to sound like Jimmy Page. Buying a $3000 Telecaster will not get you the same results.

I would like to see the specs of the guitar and maybe do my own build.

Being done for Zepp's anniversary. Yeah, saw this online today. They are doing one for each stage the guitar went thru. The mirrors, the dragon, etc..

Clapton has sig models with both Fender and Gibson.....can't see why someone else famed for playing both can't get sig models of their iconic guitars.

I built a partscaster tele to look like the Yardbirds version.
