Condition Overview
Very Good Condition
This Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul is presented in Very Good Condition.
Under the Fair Deal Music grading system, Very Good Condition means the guitar shows some cosmetic signs of previous use consistent with careful ownership while remaining fully functional.
Any deliberate factory ageing associated with the individual Jimmy Page edition should be distinguished from genuine post-production wear.
What's Included?
✔ Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul
✔ Hardcase
✔ Les Paul Watch
No additional accessories, paperwork or certificates are included unless pictured or specifically stated.
The supplied hardcase has not been confirmed as the guitar's original Gibson Custom Shop case, so no claim of case originality is made.
Les Paul Watch Included
This guitar is supplied with a Les Paul watch.
For a Jimmy Page-associated Custom Shop instrument, this makes the overall package particularly attractive to collectors and enthusiasts.
The watch should be considered part of the included accessory package rather than a component of the guitar itself.

What Makes The Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul Special?
Jimmy Page's relationship with the Les Paul helped define some of the most recognisable electric guitar tones in rock music.
Gibson Custom Shop's Jimmy Page instruments were developed as considerably more detailed projects than simply placing an artist's name on a standard production model. Different editions recreated particular instruments associated with Page, including individual neck profiles, finishes, pickup arrangements and modified switching systems.
As a result, genuine Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Pauls occupy a particularly interesting position for both players and collectors.
Gibson Custom Shop Construction
The Gibson Custom Shop operates above Gibson's standard USA production ranges and specialises in premium, historically inspired and limited-production instruments.
Jimmy Page models have included detailed recreations of specific guitars associated with his career, with emphasis placed on:
- Premium wood selection
- Individual neck profiles
- Historic Les Paul construction
- Artist-specific electronics
- Period-inspired finishes
- Aged or vintage-style hardware
- Limited production
Traditional Les Paul Foundation
Although the various Jimmy Page editions differ, they are fundamentally based on Gibson's Les Paul platform.
This provides the familiar combination of:
- Set-neck construction
- 24.75" scale length
- Twin-humbucker heritage
- Independent volume and tone control philosophy
- Carved single-cutaway body
- Sustain-focused construction
Jimmy Page & The Les Paul
Jimmy Page is inseparably associated with the Gibson Les Paul through his work with Led Zeppelin.
His Les Pauls became central to both his stage sound and visual identity, particularly the late-'50s Standards commonly referred to as Number One and Number Two.
Those instruments were modified over time, which is one reason Gibson's different Page signature recreations can have notably different electronics and hardware.
Number One
Page's famous Number One became his primary Les Paul during the Led Zeppelin era.
Gibson Custom Shop produced a recreation during the mid-2000s, with features designed around the dimensions, appearance and playing characteristics of Page's original instrument.
Number Two
The later Number Two recreation was considerably more electronically complex.
Page's original guitar featured an expanded switching arrangement, and Gibson reproduced this through multiple push/pull controls and additional concealed switching.
The Number Two production run was also strictly limited.
Jimmy Page Black Beauty
Gibson also recreated Page's earlier three-pickup Les Paul Custom, often referred to as his Black Beauty.
That instrument is fundamentally different from his Sunburst Les Paul Standards, featuring three pickups, a Bigsby vibrato and specialised switching.
For this reason, the precise edition of any pre-owned Jimmy Page Custom Shop Les Paul should be identified before assigning detailed model-specific specifications.
Artist-Specific Electronics
Jimmy Page is particularly well known for modifying the switching arrangements of his guitars.
Depending on the specific Gibson Custom Shop edition, Page models can feature combinations of:
- Standard humbucker operation
- Coil switching
- Series/parallel options
- Phase switching
- Push/pull potentiometers
- Additional hidden switching
The exact configuration varies by model and should not be assumed universally across all Jimmy Page Les Pauls.
Traditional Gibson Scale Length
The guitar uses the traditional 24.75" Gibson scale length associated with Les Paul models.
This provides a slightly softer string feel than a typical 25.5" scale instrument and works particularly well for:
- Wide vibrato
- String bending
- Blues phrasing
- Lead guitar
- Classic rock
Hardcase Included
A hardcase is supplied with the guitar.
The case provides suitable protection for transportation and storage.
Unless separately verified, it is not described as the guitar's original Gibson Custom Shop case.

Jimmy Page enthusiasts – An official Gibson Custom Shop artist-associated Les Paul.

Classic rock guitarists – The Les Paul platform remains ideally suited to powerful vintage-inspired rock tones.

Model Identification Note
Gibson Custom Shop has released several substantially different Jimmy Page Les Paul models.
These include:
- Jimmy Page “Number One” Les Paul
- Jimmy Page “Number Two” Les Paul
- Jimmy Page Les Paul Custom / Black Beauty
- Different aged, VOS and limited-production variations
These guitars can vary in:
- Body construction
- Top specification
- Neck profile
- Fingerboard material
- Number of pickups
- Pickup models
- Pickup orientation
- Wiring
- Push/pull functions
- Additional switches
- Bridge and tailpiece
- Finish treatment
- Hardware
- Production quantities
Without further identification from the guitar's serial number, Certificate of Authenticity or individual specifications, this listing deliberately avoids assigning features belonging to a different Jimmy Page edition.
Collectability
Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Pauls were produced in much smaller quantities than mainstream Gibson USA Les Paul models.
Their association with:
- Jimmy Page
- Led Zeppelin
- Specific historic guitars
- Gibson Custom Shop
- Limited production
has made them particularly interesting instruments for collectors as well as players.
Condition, originality, edition, documentation and included accessories can all be especially important when evaluating examples on the pre-owned market.
Power Requirements
None.
The guitar uses passive Les Paul-style electronics.
No battery or external power supply is required unless an unusual aftermarket modification has been fitted, which has not been stated for this guitar.
Fair Deal Music Verdict
The Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Les Paul represents one of the more significant artist collaborations in Gibson's modern Custom Shop history.
Jimmy Page's use of the Les Paul is deeply embedded in the sound and visual identity of Led Zeppelin, and Gibson's Custom Shop editions were designed to recreate specific elements of his most important instruments rather than simply produce a conventional signature guitar.
Presented in Very Good Condition and supplied with both a hardcase and Les Paul watch, this example has obvious appeal to players, collectors and dedicated Jimmy Page enthusiasts.
Because several distinct Jimmy Page Les Paul editions exist, the exact version and its individual electronics should be confirmed from the guitar's identifying information before attributing edition-specific features.
