This is Jimmy Page's Telecaster in its final form, the version he painted himself with curls of green, orange, yellow, blue and red winding around the ash body. The artwork is reproduced under gloss urethane, with a refractive pickguard that recalls the guitar's mirror stage.
The neck is his custom "Oval C" on a 7.25" radius slab rosewood board with 21 vintage frets, finished in Road Worn nitro for a played-in feel. Two Jimmy Page Custom Tele single-coils run through a three-way blade, and the bridge takes strings top-load or through the body, the top-load option giving a little less tension for easier bends. It has a bone nut and a signature on the headstock and neck plate, and comes with a vintage-style hardshell case, coiled cable and seatbelt strap.
It is made in Mexico in Natural. For the earlier White Blonde stage of the same guitar, built in the USA, look at the Jimmy Page Mirror Telecaster.
