The black pickup was not the stock PAF. The original pickup was a bone color. That one gave out around 1972, I believe. The bridge pickup was replaced with a Gibson T-Top. The push-pull pots did not happen till long after Led Zeppelin.
@@ericbitzer5247 Could be because DiMarzio trademarked double cream bobbins at some point in the 80s (could be 90s). When Duncan wound some pickups for Page, they used double black. Perhaps Page just wanted to keep the double black and/or Gibson couldn't do double cream anyway.
@@majick59 I didn't know that. I don't think the color of bobbins should be able to be trademarked. That's ridiculous like trademark red or blue cars. The corporate world is sick.
None of pages guitars had coil splits in rhe led zeppelin era and to this day his actual number 1 les paul does not have any coil splits. His number 1 only had one push pull pot and it puts the pickups out of Phase in the middle and it's feature was not added until the mid to late 90s only pages number 2 les paul has coil splits and those were not added until around 1981 or 82. Because Edwin Wison only had 45 minutes with the guitar had made a major mistake with the wiring. The page number 1 replica in its stock form is wires permanently out of Phase on the middle which is incorrect as pages actual guitar is not wired out of Phase in the middle position which ties into the second wiring blunder which was making the single push pull pot a coil split for rhe bridge pickup when the push pull pot is supposed to be for out of Phase switching in rhe middle position. When Edwin Wilson went to pages house to examine the guitar he shot a video where page explains some things about the guitar and Pafe clearly articulates that the single push pull pot was for out of Phase sounds not for coil splitting page Cleary states as he pulls up in the pot this is for the Peter Green sound. And then page pushes the pot back down and says that Puts it back to full whack . The Peter Green sound has nothing to do with coil splitting bridge pickups How Edwin did not catch onto this is quite mind boggling. Page states that the push pull pot is for the Peter Green sound when the guitar is in the middle position. Did Edwin think he knew better then Page ? Did he think page did not understand his own guitar or did he think page was confused about what the Peter Green sound was and how its achieved? But agian none of pages guitars had coil splits push pulls or Phase switches until after led zeppelin. Page absolutely switched guitars on stage when he wanted a single coil sound be had a brown telecaster and blue star that he used frequently onstage
Jimmy pages number 1 did not have the original Pafs when Gibson examined the guitar in 2002 . Those pickups were long gone . The original bridge PAF failed in early 1972 and was replaced with a gibson t top humbucket which is nothing like A Paf and then the t top was replaced with a hotter wound Seymour custom shop pickup in the very early 90s . The original neck Paf was replaced in mid to late 90s with a 1960 Gibson PAF. When Edwin Wilson examined Pages guitar it did not have the original 1959 pickups. It had a 1960 PAF in rhe neck and s custom wound dumcan in the bridge . The fact that Pages guitar had an uncovered double white pickup in the early 70s and then had an uncovered double black pickup in the late 80s unawares is an obvious clue that the original pickup could not have possibly been in the guitar. The double white was replaced in the spring of 72 with a chrome covered t top then the cover was removed in 1988 revealing that it was in fact a t top and was had double black bobbins . Then in the very early 90s a hotter wound double black bobbin custom shop duncan . Gibson should have got seynour ducan to recreate that pickup. The custom duncan has an A5 magnet and the Page Burstbuckers have A3 magnets and the made both the neck and bridge page burstbucker the identical pickup even though page a 1960 Gibson Paf in the neck and a custom wound duncan in the bridge . The duncan Page pickups don't really sound like Pafs they have a more modernish tone to them.
The original Neck PAF was very weak albeit a fairly hot wind .The Original Bridge PAF was repaired in Melbourne Australia by Merv Carghill but as you say Changed out shortly after... I do wonder why Jimmy Changed out that original neck PAF for another PAF? Did that pickup go bad like the bridge one did many years before?
This is a fantastic guitar no doubt. It's a pity Gibson have never tried to replicate the "Zeppelin" guitar , as all this Push Pull Stuff is tonally wrong for Led Zeppelin. I am led to believe that when the Middle Pickup position is selected on these Re Creations, it automatically defaults to an 'out of phase' tone and Mid position "IN PHASE' is not achievable. If this is the case, the iconic Page tone is absent and accurate tones for Rock and Roll , Whole Lotta Love, Black Dog, Tea for One, SIBLY etc cannot be got (Which use Mid Position In Phase).. I have a 'Period Correct' 1973 Page Tone on my Channel for those interested...
Yeah, I think the push pull pots were added by the previous owner. It's not supposed to have that. I always wonder what the story is with that...who spends $10k on a signature guitar to make mods to it...and then loses it at a furniture auction? Anyways, I had to sell it to help finance a home purchase and broke even...I think it was exported to China unfortunately. 😕
@@DoYouLikeGear Yeah, albeit they arn't things if you do do change , you can't reverse.. Its not like repainting it a different colour. If it were me, I'd spec it to Pages 1973 Guitar , but keep the original parts in a safe place, so it could be put back to factory specs if needed.. That way, there is no value stripped from the guitar..
@@DoYouLikeGear Yes its strange how that's so important?..It certainly doesn't legitimise authtenticity.. Anyone capable of Counterfeiting a Gibson would find the silly certificate the easiest part to duplicate..

That's true...but unfortunately, I had to sell it for house repairs, so I don't have that much money. 😂Also, I've played bass for most of my life and was only starting to round back to guitar. But full disclosure, I'm no John Paul Jones either.

Jimmy Page specified he wanted black bobbins on his signature guitars for some reason.

@@ericbitzer5247 I completely agree. Massive blunder on part of the USPTO.
There appears to be something off with your Custom Authentic. There should only be one push pull knob not 3. Perhaps it has been altered ?

I had JPP 572.
GREAT guitar.
Thanks so much for opening the compartment on back. Do you know what the specs on the pick-ups are?
They are wound to Jimmy Page's pickup specs and only available for those guitars. I should have taken output measurements. :(
If I’m happy with my cheap les Paul and i can’t imagine how must feel your or any les Paul owner !
It is a very nice guitar, but unfortunately I had to sell it to finance some house repairs. 😅
Very cool guitar. And the top on it is particularly nice.☺☺☺
Can you tell me what colour is this...tq
Jimmy Page Burst...It's a custom color.
Could he play Heartbreaker any slower?

Csn i see a pic of the back of the page neck
Sure. I blogged about it : doyoulikegear.com/jimmy-page-gibson-les-paul-custom-authentic/
needed to put the sound on 2x
I hate digital Sounds
Me too. Some day I'll take the time to actually mic up an amp.
Are you playing through a potato?
You mean Schaller strap buttons Dopey !
Thanks for watching. You're right, they are Schaller style strap buttons.
I cant wait to buy my chinese replica
How did it turn out?
@@BlackDogOriginal it has $30 pick ups. But they sound better than my epiphone standard to say the least.
@@mpoadmin2978 where did you buy it from. I see some Chinese replicas on Ali express and wonder it they’re any good
You seems to be a little sad playing
I'm just not very good. I try. :D
Lmao
Terrible playing
Thanks!
Too much bass punch, have you ever heard like this in any album? Thumb down.
This is a case of more money than talent
