Addition of the following in quotation marks to the Signature Models section of the Guitars subheading in the Equipment and techniques section:

"In 2024, Gibson revealed an exclusive to Gibson Garage London and Gibson.com recreation of Page's 1969 EDS-1275 double-neck, limited to 50 total models as a Collector's Edition version. Said recreation, according to Gibson themselves, utilises "new 3d scanning techniques and ultra-precise Murphy Lab aging techniques" in order to make the guitar as close to the original as can be tastefully achieved. Each model is individually played and signed by Page himself.^[1]"

This is the only edit I request. TheCrusader6472 (talk) 20:55, 4 September 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Buddy Holly didn't play a Telecaster (early life section)

"but his first solid-bodied electric guitar was a second-hand 1959 Futurama Grazioso, later replaced by a Fender Telecaster, a model he had seen Buddy Holly playing on the TV and a real-life example of which he'd played at an electronics exhibition at the Earls Court Exhibition Centre in London." - is simply wrong.

Buddy Holly DID NOT play a Telecaster, no photos can be found, no verbal writings that say he played a Tele, it is well known he was a Fender STRATOCASTER guy. NO WAY Jimmy saw Buddy playing a Telecaster. Hemidean (talk) 11:55, 25 October 2024 (UTC)[reply]

Film Soundtrack

Death Wish 2 film soundtrack from 1982, from Swan Song records. Produced by Jimmy Page, according to the cover notes on my vinyl album. 81.98.82.191 (talk) 14:00, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

It is already listed at Jimmy Page discography#Soundtrack albums. --Viennese Waltz 14:06, 18 February 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Jimmy Page double-neck guitar at Hard Rock Cafe image

This is not Jimmy Page's double-neck guitar. His Gibson was unusual due to the large distance bewtween the tailpiece and bridge for each set of strings. On this guitar the pick guard and toggle switch extend beyond the tailpiece. If you check any image of Jimmy playing his double-neck, you can see the tailpiece is significantly beyond the pickguard. 86.176.86.154 (talk) 12:41, 18 March 2025 (UTC)[reply]

The photo of Jimmy Pages Gibson EDS-1275, Double neck guitar in the article is not his actual guitar. On his guitar the stop bar tail piece is much farther back on the body, from the bridge. A Google search for photos of Jimmy playing it will show the difference from the one in the photo. Thank you. TommySty1es (talk) 18:18, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Do you mean this image? Thanks. Martinevans123 (talk) 20:13, 19 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

This is said to be Pages version used on Stairway to Heaven. - FlightTime (open channel) 16:55, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

So can we discount that other one, photographed at the Hard Rock Cafe, Hollywood, in 2009? Martinevans123 (talk) 17:43, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]

Well, What TommSty1es alludes to seems to be correct, looking at File:Jimmy Page - A.R.M.S. Concert, Oakland, Ca. 1983.jpg, That guitar is neither of them, however, turing and recording equipment can be different. - FlightTime (open channel) 18:22, 20 April 2025 (UTC)[reply]
