"Dragon" Telecaster (serial no. 50062)
1959
Fender
Jimmy Page received this guitar from Jeff Beck and used it for his 1967 work with the Yardbirds, even playing it with a violin bow on experimental live versions of "Dazed and Confused." After the Yardbirds disbanded, he used it to record all of Led Zeppelin (1968). Page hand painted the dragon design on the body and replaced the white pickguard with transparent acrylic over silver-gray diffraction film. The guitar was later stripped by a well-meaning friend, but Page restored the design in 2018. |
