Fender has unveiled a recreation of Jimmy Page’s “dragon guitar” in commemoration of Led Zeppelin’s 50th anniversary. Legendary guitarist Page played the iconic Dragon guitar on Led Zeppelin’s self-titled debut album in 1968. In honor of its legacy, Fender have now announced the release of four new guitars inspired by the design of Page’s original Telecaster. Back in October, it was announced that Fender had teamed up with Page to recreate the 1959 Telecaster. Fender plans to initially release two models dubbed the Limited Edition Jimmy Page Telecaster Set, that will be produced in the Fender Custom Shop. Meanwhile, two additional models will be made on Fender’s production lines. The Limited Edition Jimmy Page Telecaster Set will be available beginning March 2019, while the two production line models will be released in Spring/Summer 2019. “The story of the instrument is the whole journey of it – from Jeff having it, to passing it on to me with such good spirit,” Page said of the guitar. “It’s a lot of love in that gesture and the journey of it through The Yardbirds and how it was used on the first Led Zeppelin album, the journey all the way through here today.” He added, “Now, it’s been restored back to its true beauty and we’ve actually been able to sort of clone it.” (Photo Credit: Fender) Copyright(c) 2019 RTTNews.com.
