Description

When the opening riff of “Good Times Bad Times” came through the radio in 1969, everything changed. In that moment Jimmy Page cemented his legacy and altered the course of popular music with a single guitar: his Fender® Telecaster. The Fender Jimmy Page Mirror Telecaster is an homage to that guitar, which began life in its factory White Blonde lacquer finish, then became the “mirror guitar” before transforming into a one-of-a-kind hand-painted instrument. At each stage in its evolution, this legendary guitar produced some of the most iconic riffs of the 20th Century.

The Jimmy Page Mirror Telecaster features an ash body, lacquer finish and a pair of Jimmy Page Custom ’59 Tele® single-coil pickups that deliver the incendiary, full-bodied tone that inspired all the unforgettable licks on Led Zeppelin’s first album. The custom “Oval C”-shaped maple neck has a 7.25″-radius slab rosewood fingerboard with 21 vintage-style frets, giving it a smooth playing feel. The “top-loader” bridge allows for through-body or top-load stringing, which produces a rounder, warmer tone and less tension so you can bend the strings with ease. Other features include a bone nut vintage-style round string tree and Pure Vintage Single Line “Fender Deluxe” tuning machines for authentic style and performance.

Created alongside Page himself, the Jimmy Page Telecaster also boasts some personalized touches like a Jimmy Page signature on the headstock and on the custom chrome neck plate. Included in the vintage tweed case are eight round mirrors (a tribute to the custom treatment Page later applied to the guitar), a black coiled cable, vintage-style white seatbelt strap and a custom Certificate of Authenticity. About his beloved Telecaster, Jimmy said it best: “I really made it my own – it’s quite a magical guitar.”

’50S TELE TWO-PIECE BODY
Just like Page’s original ’59 Telecaster, the body is crafted from ash. Extremely resonant, with well-defined mids, it also features an attractive grain.

LACQUER FINISH
Not only is a lacquer finish an original-era design element, it lets the wood “breathe” with natural resonance while wearing in a distinctly personal way.

CUSTOM JIMMY PAGE NECK
We duplicated the exact neck profile from Page’s Telecaster-the one that’s been worn by decades of playing, and capped it with a period-correct slab fingerboard.

CUSTOM JIMMY PAGE PICKUPS
Designed for authentic Fender tone, the custom pickups are constructed with materials as close to the originals as we can get.

DUAL “TOP-LOADER” BRIDGE
Whichever way you prefer to string your guitar, string-through-body or top-load, this reproduction of a rare 1959 bridge has you covered.

VINTAGE-STYLE TUNING MACHINES
These vintage-style tuning machines offer vintage cool aesthetics, combined with rock-solid stability.

Page is prolific in creating guitar riffs and his varied style involves various guitar tunings, technical and melodic solos and aggressive, distorted guitar tone. Rolling Stone magazine has described Page as “the pontiff of power riffing” and ranked him number three in their list of the “100 Greatest Guitarists of All Time”. In 2010, he was ranked number two in Gibson’s list of “Top 50 Guitarists of All Time”.

ABOUT FENDER
In 1950, Fender introduced the first mass-produced solid-body Spanish-style electric guitar, the Telecaster. Following its success, Fender created the first mass-produced electric bass, the Precision Bass (P-Bass). In 1954, Fender unveiled the Stratocaster (“Strat”) guitar. With the Telecaster and Precision Bass on the market for some time, Leo Fender was able to incorporate input from working musicians into the Stratocaster’s design. The Strat’s comfortable contoured edges and in-built vibrato system led to its soaring popularity. shop.fender.com
