Jimmy Page Telecaster reproduction?

nsriley · December 6th, 2005, 11:58 AM

Once I came across a reproduction of Page's famous Telecaster. It was on ebay and looked awesome, but someone grabbed it up within the first hour of the listing with a BIN.

Does anyone know of anybody that makes these? Other than doing one myself.

All I gotta say is, I'm droolin like a Pavlovian dog when the dinner bell rings!

I like it, except for the pickguard, and the rosewood fretboard.

A fellow i know really summed up the "rosewood problem"...

He said wiht a maple fretboard it feels like you're actually playing the guitar. A rosewood board fells like a little barrier between you and the neck...

Aen,

Buld a travel machine and go back to 1967 so you can stop Page from making such a toneless guitar. Lord knows he'll never get anything worthwhile out of it.

If you can't pull that off, at least find Robben Ford, who's still trying to make a rosewood necked Tele work today. Help him get his tone together, please.

woah, woah, woah.

Nowhere in my post did i say toneless. I love zeppelin. I just prefer maple fretboards. Sheesh.

...my son did a "replica" based upon images we were able to download, based on a Saga-kit.

My daughter did the painting in acrylics, I did the neck in Tru-Oil...our friend (a luthier) cut the headstock and set it up...

Tom agrees, you have to "fight" the neck to play the guitar...

Interesting, this is his "go to" guitar, over his Fender Standard Telecaster.

I find (from the first floor) that this guitar, with factory p'ups, though our Traynor YBA-1, nails the Page tone...

He says that it also has the Yarsbirds sound...GOOD GAWD now he is doing "Driving Sideways (Mayall)...

Why change a nice blone tele into such an ugly guitar?

On the recent "Led Zeppelin" DVD set, there's bonus footage of some European TV show where they play Dazed and Confused. Page is playing that Tele and his tone absolutely slays everything else on the disc. It's an almost "Hendrixian" fuzz tone and it just cuts through like nothing else. I'm gonna have to go watch that again tonight.

I concur, he plays some fluid lead on that Tele and it crunches and squeals - his playing is great throughout that DVD, he's now up with Hendrix in my estimation after watching that (for blues rock progression & innovation)

The dragon guitar looks better in B & W to me - it's of its time as was Pagey's trousers.

I have that DVD, I wasn't impressed with the tone from his Tele, it looks great, but IMO Page's tone improved dramatically when he switched to Les Pauls.

Sorry, I love Teles, but for Page's playing style, especially live, LPs slayed all.

YMMV.

(Awaits flames) :D
