Jeff Beck gave Jimmy Page a 1959 Telecaster in White Blonde with a rosewood board. Page stuck round mirrors on it in the Yardbirds years and later painted it, and as the Dragon it carried most of the guitar parts on the first Led Zeppelin album. This model recreates the guitar as it was in white, with a mirror application kit in the case if you want to apply them.
The two-piece ash body has an offset seam and a Journeyman Relic lacquer finish with Closet Classic hardware. The tinted flat sawn maple neck has the Jimmy Page Custom "Oval C" carve and a flat-laminated rosewood board with a 7.25" radius, which feels round under the hand and suits chords (very wide bends high up can fret out). Two Custom Shop hand-wound '58 single-coils run through a three-way switch, and the bridge can be strung top-load or through the body.
For a 1959 Tele with no artist connection, compare the 1959 Telecaster Journeyman Relic.
The photos show one example. Wood grain and aging vary from guitar to guitar, so the one built for you will differ in the details.
