If you’re a hardcore Led Zeppelin fan and you’ve been wondering what to do with that extra 50 grand you’ve had lying around the house, here’s an idea.
Gibson Brands Inc. has just announced the release of the Collector’s Edition Jimmy Page 1969 EDS-1275. It’s a custom-made copy of the red SG-style double-neck guitar that came in handy when Page wanted to switch from six-string to 12-string and back again during live performances of “Stairway to Heaven”.
According to the Gibson website, the guitar was “made in collaboration with Jimmy Page and uses 3D scanning technology and ultra-precise Murphy Lab aging techniques to aid in hand-crafting an effective clone of the original.”
Only 50 copies of the guitar will be made, and each comes hand-signed and briefly played by the legendary Zeppelin picker himself.
Oh, and in case you were worrying about not getting your $50,000 worth, it comes with a pretty fancy case too.
