Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster - „Dragon“, 2019 - used

Here we have a very special Telecaster – the Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster “Dragon” from 2019.

Here is the original Fender description:

“When the opening riff to ‘Good Times Bad Times’ first hit the radio in 1969, everything changed. In that moment, Jimmy Page laid the foundation for his own legend. He changed the course of modern music – with a single guitar: his Fender Telecaster. The Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster is our tribute to that instrument. It originally wore a factory White Blonde finish. Later, it became the mirrored ‘Mirror Guitar’ before transforming into an artistic one-of-a-kind piece, hand-painted by Page himself. Some of the most iconic guitar riffs of the 20th century were created on this guitar.

Features:
• Reproduction of the original Jimmy Page artwork with satin finish
• Two specially wound Custom Jimmy Page Telecaster single-coil pickups
• Maple neck in custom ‘Oval C’ profile; slab rosewood fretboard with 7.25" radius
• Top-loader bridge with threaded steel saddles
• Includes vintage-style hard shell case”

What we have here is something truly special – and it has barely been played and is in excellent condition.

Visually, it is of course a real eye-catcher, especially in combination with the reflective pickguard. The famous Dragon motif is executed as a print beneath the finish, making the guitar instantly unmistakable.

Over time, the nitro-finished neck has developed fine natural aging cracks in the lacquer. Fender’s Custom Shop usually charges a lot extra for something like that (-: In this case, however, we believe it happened unintentionally. We like it – it looks cool and gives the neck even more vintage character. We have tried to show the lacquer cracks in the photos as clearly as possible.

The neck, also finished in nitro lacquer, with its Jimmy Page Custom “Oval C” profile, feels excellent in the hand. It is neither especially slim nor especially chunky and is very comfortable to play.

The frets showed virtually no signs of wear. We still leveled, recrowned, and polished them because the factory fretwork was not particularly good. The guitar then received a complete setup. Now this thing is definitely not just something for a display case.

Tonally, it is also something special thanks to its specially wound Jimmy Page Custom Tele single coils. It really sounds fantastic – and for us, the spirit of Led Zeppelin is clearly there.

A collector’s piece that is really far too good to be left unplayed. This Tele wants to be played.
