Members Northstar Posted November 15, 2009 Members Share Posted November 15, 2009 TGP guys can't answer this one... Jimmy Page played this guitar back in his Outrider days. I'm trying to find more info about it without much success. I'm particularly interested in finding out what the pickups are. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Deadm1r Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 'Cos Page looks like he's from a 80's glam band with the outfit, lightning, and guitar. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members OldGuitarPlayer Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 I dunno...it looks like any of the other 100's of pointy headstock guitars that were around in the 1980's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tiltsta Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 Here is a page with some more pics. You can kind of see the pickups in some of the shots. The bridge seems to have a wide blade like single coil (looks like an SD hot stack), and the neck and middle kind of look like lipsticks, maybe in pairs...or perhaps strat sized single coils, the lighting in the pics makes it hard to see for sure. Looking at the specs the linked page gives makes me think the guy who wrote it isn't a guitar player, as it looks to be mostly wrong. Here is a better pic where you can see the pickups at least. http://www.led-zeppelin.org/joomla/studio-and-live-gear/1190 Looks like 22 fret, rosewood board, front routed strat type body. Headstock has a back angle, so no string trees. No locking nut, and what looks like a vintage style trem. Strat jack and knobs and strat blade switch. Two (?) microswitches near the blade selector to control hair spray dispensers (?). Bridge looks like a SD hot stack, or the 80's equivalent. Middle and front look like either lipsticks or double blade mini humbuckers (like hot rails, for example). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Elias Graves Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 Hair spray dispenser. That was a popular option with hair metal bands. EG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members tiltsta Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 Looking a little closer at the picture above, I think the neck and middle pickups might be Bill Lawrence L250 type hum canceling single coils. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members monwobobbo Posted June 7, 2011 Members Share Posted June 7, 2011 jimmy only used that guitar for one or two songs during the show i saw. mainly played a Les Paul. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members tiltsta Posted June 8, 2011 Members Share Posted June 8, 2011 I know a lot of sites claim it is a Kramer, and I can find several that claim it is a jackson, like the site I linked above with better pics. It certainly wouldn't be the first time people guessed what a guitar was incorrectly. I can't say for sure if it is or isn't any of these brands, or a custom one off model, but I think it is best to cautious in believing what is out there on the web. The headstock shape alone makes me think it isn't a kramer, but only Page and the people that built it know for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members danswon Posted June 8, 2011 Members Share Posted June 8, 2011 i would definitely guess a Kramer or a Charvel. and that looks like s Duncan hot stack at the bridge, and those look like rails at mid & neck (probably duncan vintage or cool rails to balance the hot stack output) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members gdsmithtx Posted June 8, 2011 Members Share Posted June 8, 2011 just lost some respect for page. No reason to ... except snobbery. He's still the same guy who rocked our worlds with both bombast and finesse, and who is one of the two or three most influential guitarists in popular music. And if I recall correctly, Outrider had some pretty damned good cuts, and Page had killer, killer tone on it. [video=youtube;nMkBSbjpEFk] [video=youtube;V6zYf33Yi9E] I do recall correctly.

Members kayd_mon Posted June 8, 2011 Members Share Posted June 8, 2011 just lost some respect for page. Why, because he dressed according to the decade's fashion (although he chose black rather than neon)? Or because he's not playing a Les Paul? Geez. The only thing he's done professionally that deserves any scoffing is playing on the P.Diddy or Puff Daddy or whatever his name is version of Kashmir. And you could even argue against that.
