Pablo Sanchez Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 So, somehow we managed to get our hands on one of these: Gibson Black Beauty Jimmy Page signed There were 500 made and 25 that were all signed and played by Mr. Jimmy Page. This is #25 of 25. I must say, having this guitar around is more like buying stocks than a guitar, as I'm sure it will never get played. note to Velvet: no you can't come over and play whole lotta love on it More info here Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Velvet Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 That made me laugh because I was just gonna post that I'll be in the store tomorrow morning to play it.But I was thinking about playing the Stairway solo so I guess it's okay, right?

boiler Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I must say, having this guitar around is more like buying stocks than a guitar, as I'm sure it will never get played. But, but, but, Jimmy Page played it. If you have that guitar in your possesion, you have to play it. I think you need to break out a violin bow and play that fucker.Seriously, that guitar is beautiful, congrats on getting it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rob Not Bob Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I had heard that they had taken down the No Stairway signs because nobody played it anymore. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ollie Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I wonder what "played by" really means. Did he sitethere and knock out a song on each guitar before signing it and moving on to the next one? Or did he just strum a chord to get it done pronto?

angiogram Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 From what I understand, he played all 25, then selected one for himself. The remaining 24 were signed and numbered. This is the only one in Canada. Def an investment piece.Also, there are some big thumb prints on theback of the neck which I imagine are Jimmy's.

TheGoodRev Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 I had heard that they had taken down the No Stairway signs because nobody played it anymore.I work in a guitar store and - maybe Dave has a different opinion here but - without a doubt, Sweet Child O Mine is the new Stairway. I hear it at least 4 or 5 times a week...and most of them don't stop at one time, they'll just keep hammering through it. Warts and all. Shitty nasal tone.Honourable mention to Nirvana as well, still hear a lot of that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bokonon Posted February 28, 2008 Report Share Posted February 28, 2008 How much do you want it?No honey, you gotta ask "What do you think it's worth?" Then you tell them the asking price (aka pull a number out of your ass) and dicker from there. (I swear to god I didn't try to make this sound dirty, it just came out!....Fuck, I did it again!)

bradm Posted February 29, 2008 Report Share Posted February 29, 2008 I wonder if a cool flash mob could be organized: have a bunch of people (of varying levels of prowess on the guitar and bass) go into a store at the same time, with each person pulling a guitar off the wall and playing the same song at the same time (or as closely synchronized as they can make) for a few bars, then hauling mass out of the store...Aloha,Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
