asburybeach Posted April 17, 2009 Posted April 17, 2009 I was just reading about this announcment of new signature Page guitar made I think at NAMM 2009. Could anyone explain to me how you go about getting one of these if you had the money when they are released? I understand that there is not any final info or price that I could find. But if I had the money, how would I get one? Are there waiting lists.? I am doing this out of frustration. I was a friend of the late Twiggs Lyndon who was Allman Brothers road manager and manager of Dixie Dreggs(Twiggs brother Skoots has been Steve Morse's guitar tech for over 20 years). I got to play the original Duane guitar that Gibson copied and was later presented to Duane's daughter and is now in R&R HOF. I missed this guitar copy sale and now I will never afford one. I want to get in one one of these good models like Page #2. Any advice to an old roadie turned NYC attorney please. Thanks. Kevin

dem00n Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Well when it comes out contace major gibson dealers like GC...(i know its GC but alot of Dark Fire guys got low # from them)
sunburstfaded Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 Only kidding. I was lucky enough to own one of the Murphy aged Page No1 Les Pauls for a few years. Great guitar. Looked and felt like a battered 58 Les Paul. The only problems I found were the thinned neck is very strange when you switch from a normal chubby Les paul neck. Also the high value of the guitar meant that you were paranoid about taking it anywhere or even playing it after a few beers in case of disaster. I sold mine. Here in the UK Gibson have cut back on the number of dealers, so special guitars like the Page or the current Bloomfield LP only surface in a few shops. There are some Bloomfields on sale over here now. I suggest you contact the top Gibson dealer in NY and place an order or at least register your interest. That way you shouldn't miss out.
asburybeach Posted April 18, 2009 Author Posted April 18, 2009 Thanks for input. I am former roadie who went to law school late which means I'll be paying student loans when I am still 65 years old. (lol) I play but no that great. I have a strat and also a couple of collectable guitars given me by friends from bands Alabama and E Street. I am not rich but would like to invest in guitar. Friend Joe Don Rooney was the spokeperson for the Dark Fire so I should have looked at that. But I love these signature relic guitars. Because I had a direct connection to Duane's guitar through Twiggs, I wish I had one of those. For investment purposes, what would you do? Would you jump on this new Page guitar when it comes out. And yea I have young kids so I'm gonna have to secure an area in the house away from the crayons. Thanks again for input. I am trying to educate myself.
Tim Plains Posted April 18, 2009 Posted April 18, 2009 My guess is it's too late and that if you actually wanted one, you should have gone to a Gibson dealer months ago and ordered one. Think about it, every Zeppelin freak, baby boomer will want one of these. I'm sure a few of them will find their way onto eBay and they'll go for a lot more than the sticker price. Another option would be to check with the forum dealers at the Les Paul Forum & My Les Paul.

chengin Posted April 20, 2009 Posted April 20, 2009 Try calling Wildwood. If its coming they will know about it and would be getting it I reckon. They seem to get all the good stuff in there. Steve is very helpful and should be able to advise on this. I got my Page Black Beauty here. The #2 looks good but I don't think I can sneak another one at that price into the house without my wife needing you to represent me if she spotted it. http://www.wildwoodguitars.com/
