Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page Signed 1964 SJ-200 Cherry Tea (053)

One of the most iconic guitarists in history is Jimmy Page, and his acoustic guitar of choice when recording Led Zeppelin’s debut album was a mid-60s Gibson SJ-200™ that he played on multiple songs on that legendary record. Jimmy also used this guitar in his brilliant solo appearance on the Julie Felix Show on April 26, 1970, where he performed “White Summer/Black Mountain Side.” Made in close collaboration and with significant input from Jimmy Page on everything from the sonic character and wear to the playability and even the vivid Cherry Tea sunburst finish, this very special recreation features highly flamed AAA maple for the back and sides, along with AAA Sitka spruce for the top. The Super Jumbo body has multi-ply binding on the top and back, and is slightly deeper than a standard SJ-200 at the neck joint, contributing to its unique sound that’s not quite like any other SJ-200.

The stunning, highly-figured maple motif continues with the 3-piece highly flamed maple neck, which features a comfortable Round profile, a bound rosewood fretboard with 20 standard frets, and mother-of-pearl Graduated Crown inlays. The 60s-style, solid rosewood Moustache™ bridge plate is also adorned with 60s-style mother-of-pearl hourglass and teardrop inlays and is equipped with a gold Tune-O-Matic™ bridge with nylon saddles, which also contributes to the unique sound of this beautiful Artist model. The bound headstock has gold Kluson® Waffleback® tuners with Keystone buttons that add to the guitar’s vintage appeal, and Jimmy Page has personally hand-signed the soundhole label of each Jimmy Page 1964 SJ-200 guitar.

Gibson Custom’s famed Murphy Lab light aging techniques were customized for this specific model to aid in recreating the original guitar. Every detail has been thoughtfully rendered to Jimmy Page’s exacting standards and recollection. The included Gibson Custom hardshell case features Jimmy’s famous Zoso logo and an extra Tune-O-Matic bridge with gold-plated brass saddles is also included inside the case, along with a Zoso Certificate of Authenticity booklet and a Gibson “The Garden” vintage-style strap. Only 100 of these guitars have been crafted by the expert luthiers of the Gibson Custom Shop in Bozeman, Montana, and artfully aged by the Murphy Lab as part of this extraordinary limited run honoring both the guitar and the legendary guitarist who made it famous, Jimmy Page.
