Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page 1275 VOS Double Neck Electric Guitar

Each Jimmy Page Reissue Double Neck is carefully modeled on Jimmy's classic guitar, from the shape of the neck to the long-string-pull tailpiece. Even the pickups were painstakingly analyzed to duplicate their unique sound.Like the original it has a mahogany body, mahogany necks with Madagascar rosewood fretboards and pearloid split parallelogram inlays. 2 specially-designed Gibson Jimmy Page humbuckers (the same as on the enormously successful Jimmy Page Signature Les Paul) reproduce the amazing tone Led Zeppelin fans love. The ABR-1 style bridge and double-band vintage-style tuners are also true to the original.Jimmy Page originally sought out a double-neck when the Led Zeppe lin IV album was completed and it was clear that "Stairway to Heaven" would have to be played live. To keep pace with the changes of the song, there would be no time to change between 6- and 12-string guitars. The Gibson double-neck worked out so well that Jimmy used it on other Led Zeppelin songs, including "Rainsong," "Celebration," and "The Song Remains the Same."The almost magical effect of the Gibson Jimmy Page Double neck remains the same as well, but only 250 of these Vintage Original Spec models are being produced worldwide - if you wait too long, it will be nearly as difficult to buy one of these as, well, a Stairway to Heaven.

The Black Beauty was used by Jimmy early on; it was stolen in 1970. Jimmy's, like this, had a Bigsby.

Amplifiers

Once again Pete and Jimmy used the same gear here; both made use of this amp, and this a dead-on reproduction.

Hiwatt CP-504 Custom 50 50W Pete Townshend Signature Tube Guitar Amp Head Black

A 50-watt version of the amp designed to the same specifications as the amp used extensively by Pete Townshend of THE WHO. Based on the Custom 50, the CP-504 features more gain and a more responsive Bass and Treble control network. Uses 4 independent pre-amp channels (with 4 x ECC-83 tubes), 4 individual Volume Controls and a Master Volume. Power stage uses 2 x EL-34 tubes. Equipped with Partridge transformers, and has switchable 4, 8 & 16 ohms output impedance.A look inside the amplifier will reveal point- to-point hand wiring, turret tag boards (no printed circuits), and hand laced wiring harnesses. The power and output transformers are manufactured by Partridge, the original 1970's supplier to the original design sheets. The components and wires are the modern available equivalents of the vintage components, 1-watt carbon resistors, and wound polyester capacitors being used throughout.

Effects

According to Pete Cornish, who did some work for Jimmy in 1993, Jimmy used a Boss CE-3, an Echoplex, and a Digitech Wh-1.

Gibson TGE-05 Echoplex Digital Pro Plus

Phenomenally powerful and endlessly versatile, the Gibson TGE-05 Echoplex Digital Pro Plus is a tool looking for an imagination to wield it. The convenient 19" rackmount unit brings together digital recording, sampling, and digital delay so that musicians of every type can utilize these powerful components in both studio and live applications. An amazing 16-bit/41.5kHz RAM recorder lets you playback and record simultaneously making ambient soundscapes, reversed loops, and rhythmic drones easy to create and shape. It might help to think of the Echoplex as a sequencer for audio instead of MIDI, with all the capabilities of a sampler and a delay effect that ranges far beyond any pedal available. A progressive undo feature allows you to overdub with confidence. You can add unlimited overdubs onto any loop you record. The Echoplex Digital Pro is designed by and for musicians. The intuitive and efficient controls on the rackmount unit and footpedal make it easy to use and settings are displayed through a multifunction LED. The switches on the optional EFC-7 foot control unit can also be custom configured, and play an integral part by allowing you to access all of the unit's main functions on the fly. Loops can be recorded, overdubbed, reversed, and deleted with your feet, in real time. The Echoplex is completely MIDI compatible. Performance controls send and receive MIDI; loops and sound files may be saved and loaded via MIDI; and tempos can be synced to MIDI clock. With 198 seconds of memory, 16-bit realtime digital loops, the capability to layer all 9 loops complete with overdubs, simultaneous playback and record, unlimited overdubs with progressive undos, and tap tempo controls, the Echoplex is peerless.
