Guitar Center Selling Limited Edition Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom

The Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom--a re-creation of the guitar used by Jimmy Page in the early days of Led Zeppelin--is now available at Guitar Center.

Westlake Village, CA (PRWEB) February 22, 2008 -- Music gear retailer Guitar Center today announced that it is offering a guitar that is likely to become an instant collector's item: a re-creation of the famous, lost Jimmy Page's Les Paul Custom guitar (http://gc.guitarcenter.com/guitars/jimmy-page-les-paul/). Page used the Black Beauty version of this popular guitar when his band, Led Zeppelin, was first taking off. In 1970, the instrument was stolen at an airport - seemingly gone forever. Now the Black Beauty has been re-created in extremely limited quantities.

The Gibson Custom Shop version is a meticulous re-creation with exacting details including three humbucking pickups and gold hardware. There are two limited- edition VOS (Vintage Original Spec) versions--the Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom VOS Electric Guitar (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-Custom-Shop-Jimmy-Page-Les-Paul-Custom-VOS-Electric-Guitar-with-Bigsby-516117-i1388123.gc) with Bigsby tailpiece, and the Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom VOS Electric Guitar (http://www.guitarcenter.com/Gibson-Custom-Shop-Jimmy-Page-Les-Paul-Custom-VOS-Electric-Guitar-with-Stoptail-516118-i1388124.gc) with Stoptail. Both guitars come with a certificate of authenticity and a special Gibson Custom Shop case bearing Page's silk-screened signature.
