The EDS-1275 arrived in 1971.
II- Tele/ Les Paul std- but he still had the black 3 pup Custom then so who knows that could be somewhere
III- probably LP std for electric stuff but I don’t know about the acoustic tracks. Martin? Harmony? Gibson J200?
PG- All sorts of stuff. White Strat on 12 yrs gone
Presence- Les Pauls. Strat on track 2 whose name I can’t recall.
Roy Harper Jugula album: Tele. Ovation acoustics
Unledded: Martin; Ovation; Les Pauls (incl a red one with a b bender)
Clarksdale: Les Pauls; maybe Gretsches; 12 string electric (the Fender?); PRS with a vibrato.
edit: yeah some nerdy site will list it but in the meantime some nerd on a forum will do it for ya!
If we're nerding I think it was his LPB Strat, straight into the mixing desk. 10 Years Gone!
The yard is nothing but a fence, the sun just hurts my eyes...
From LZII through to Physical Graffiti, it was largely the Les Paul (although I suspect the Tele was used quite often for overdubs, notably the solo for Stairway to Heaven). Whole Lotta Love was a Les Paul Custom which was later stolen, and a Vox Phantom XII was used for Living Loving Maid and Thank You. Acoustic duties were largely covered by a cheap Harmony acoustic.
I would say the guitar parts on the first four albums are somewhere between exclusively and mostly a Telecaster, crucially with almost all the notes picked.
A lot already covered here.. but Jimmy had another red LP (non b-bender late 50s ex Babies GT refin) which was used on the 77 tour and there's footage of him playing an RD Artist too.
If you want to get really nerdy there are threads on Royal-Orleans discussing which LP is used on which song on which night - all with photographs.
Excellent bluesy, rock tone. I do now want a Tele!
Also wondering if this tone was an inspiration for one of my favourite local bands (Jinn House, if anyone is interested...)
Though Page himself probably still doesn't remember
As for best sounds, LZII for me is the best probably also because Eddie Kramer was involved. That heartbreaker intro and lemon song one are super.
