"Number One" Les Paul Standard

Jimmy Page purchased this instrument in 1969 from Joe Walsh, who was in the band James Gang at the time and later became a member of the Eagles. When Page received it, the neck had already been shaved down to a thinner profile. It has been Page's main guitar throughout his career, used in every Led Zeppelin performance and recording from 1969 to the 2007 reunion and in his post-Zeppelin work with the Firm and others. It remains in active use today as his primary guitar.
