The Mystical Journey of Jimmy Page’s 59 Telecaster shows the root Led Zeppelin's musical alchemy.
Jimmy Page brought a special magic to Led Zeppelin. Or so it's been charged. Page studied the works of Hermetic Order of the Golden Dawn founder Aleister Crowley as well as sacred geometry and the Sacred Book of Abramelin. But the biggest magic wand the former session man wielded was the mystical Telecaster guitar, vintage: 1959. In the tradition of blues legend Robert Johnson, this 1959 Fender Telecaster was given to him by Jeff Beck, who passed it on as he passed on his gig with The Yardbirds. Beck delivered the guitar in a Blue Corvette Stingray. Page practiced backwards masking, and Fender is paying it forward in the Jimmy Page Mirror Telecaster.
Modeled after the famous guitar Page plucked, strummed and bowed, Fender dropped the guitar as part of the Led Zeppelin 50th anniversary celebration.
