I still keep thinking, it was a Grand Funk Railroad song originally. You know, some of us can't sing like even if nobody is around. Gotta have great respect for real artists like Michael Hedges! Running Aerial Boundaries ... 🤠 Gimme Shelter is a Stones song from Let It Bleed from ‘69. G F R covered it in ‘71. Edited March 15 by Sgt.

I did several guitars and the first one I ever got paid for was to convert a 59 LP Junior to a John Lennon copy with the Charlie Christian pickup. Duane has done some stuff like that too yes.

jdgm Posted March 15 Share Posted March 15 (edited) Thing about a doubleneck is - 1) It's HEAVY, maan 2) Whatever height you put it, one neck will always be in the wrong place 3) Lets face it - Page, Mclaughlin and maybe a couple other guys (Lifeson?) looked cool with one but most of us would...not.....

It looks like you need strings 5 inches longer than what is actually made. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So do your Gibsons smell like fried rice? I didn’t do anything creative and it was so expensive to make a guitar. I swear there is no end to the finishing problems… with that said I’ve got 5 neck blanks ready to go lol. I figure if I make 5 bolt ons maybe I’ll get something right once having a fancy pants R9 is like waking up in silk sheets and you don’t really have much drive to attempt something competitive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I gotta say the price tag is ridiculous but I’m a little bit surprised that none of us even seem really horned up by this thing?? Led Zep is far from being one of my favorite bands but Jimmy Page is like the patron saint of rock n roll. He has to be one of the greatest musicians of all time and he looked so freakin cool with the 1275. I literally can’t watch the song remains the same without crying because it’s so beautiful. Watching Jimmy play the 1275 is like idolatry. You could call it iconic. Again the price tag is insane but holy **** this looks like a ****ing cool guitar 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sparquelito Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 I look at this as a lawyer's wall hanger. Retirement gift for an attorney (and Led Zep fan) hanging up his spurs, and settling down somewhere near Manassas, Virginia. Can't actually picture a currently gigging musician seeing that for $50K and saying, "That exactly what I need to go on the road with next week." 😗 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dub-T-123 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 All my guitar playing life there have been things I would like to have but can’t afford. That doesn’t mean the guitar is bad, I just can’t afford it. I can’t state strongly enough that I think the price is ridiculous but cmon this is a sweet axe and Jimmy truly looked and sounded amazing with his 1275 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That guitar is for collectors. End of story. It may get strummed once and put behind glass. It said 50 being made. I’ll bet all have homes. 27 are going to Japan. Edited March 16 by Sgt.

Larsongs Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 (edited) Recently Fender made a Ltd Production Custom Shop Rocky Strat. I think it was limited to 100 Guitars.. They sold for $25,000.00.. They sold out in a day. There’s no shortage of people with Money! Edited March 16 by Larsongs Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

10PoundLester Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 All that money and they couldn't put a decent set of tailpieces on it? The ones on it look like something a kid made in his dad's shop when his dad had crappy hand tools. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sgt. Pepper Posted March 17 Share Posted March 17 (edited) Of all the live Zep I’ve ever heard, they never impressed me live. I think because 1, Jimmy multi-tracked so many guitars on most songs and he then had to chose what part to play live, so it’s just not quite right, and 2 they just didn’t sound good live. I have the DVD, CD, and I have the album of TSRTS. I also have the live album How The West Was Won. Both are official Zep live albums. They’re both awful I can’t listen to them the sound is pathetic. Maybe back in 71 - 73 they hadn’t figured out live recordings. I’ve heard Grateful Dead shows that were cleaner. Edited March 17 by Sgt.

Seen Rush play that live about 6 times. I think if I remember correctly, Alex Lifson had a white one, and a red one, and he gave the red one as a gift, or sold it to somebody I can’t remember which.
