Jimmy Page's Telecaster is the guitar behind the first Led Zeppelin album, and before he painted it, it was a White Blonde ash Tele, later covered in round mirrors. This USA-built model captures it in that White Blonde lacquer stage, and the tweed case includes eight round mirrors so you can take it the next step.
The neck is Page's custom "Oval C" on a 7.25" radius slab rosewood board with 21 vintage frets. That rounder radius is comfortable for chords, though big bends can choke if the action is set low. Two Jimmy Page Custom '59 Tele single-coils sit in a classic three-way layout, and the bridge can be strung top-load or through the body with threaded steel saddles. Top-loading lowers string tension, which makes bends feel looser.
Other details include a bone nut, a vintage round string tree, Pure Vintage single line tuners, a signature on the headstock and neck plate, a coiled cable, a seatbelt strap and a certificate of authenticity. For the painted version built in Mexico, look at the Jimmy Page Telecaster.
