Hey this is John with Fender, and here it is.
This is the Fender Jimmy Page Telecaster.
This guitar is an homage to Jimmy's 1959 Tele, which
began life in its factory white blonde finish,
then became the mirror guitar before taking
on its final form, a magical, one of a kind instrument.
It looks amazing, it feels great and it is absolutely fun
to play, so let's get right into it.
All right so the tone you heard in the beginning of the video
is the guitar plugged directly into the Bassbreaker 30R
amplifier on the gain channel, and I pretty much
had the gain cranked for that one.
So let's switch over to clean channel,
we'll hear what that sounds like,
and then we'll get into the features.

All right, let's take a look at the key features of the guitar.
Starting with the body, like Page's original 1959
Telecaster, the two-piece body is crafted from ash
with a really attractive green as you can see here,
and it's extremely resonant.
We have your standard Tele controls.
A volume, a tone, and a three-way selector switch.
On the pickups we have a pair of custom Jimmy Page pickups.
Now, these pickups are constructed as close
to the originals as possible, and they really sound amazing.

Now on the bridge this is what we call a top-loader bridge,
so you can string the guitar through the body traditionally,
or you can string it through the bridge.
Now, when you put it through the bridge,
that produces a rounder, warmer tone with less tension
so you can bend the strings with ease
and it takes a little bit of the bite out of the tone.
And then on the neck we've duplicated the exact neck
profile from Page's Tele, finished
with our road-worn satin lacquer on the back,
and capped it with a period-correct slab fingerboard
and this one is rosewood.
It's a custom oval C shape, it's got a 7 and 1/4 inch radius,
and 21 vintage frets.
And then up at the headstock we have your vintage style machine
heads, and let's not forget about this beautiful artwork
on the guitar.
We have Jimmy Page's signature on the back of the headstock
and on the back of the neck plate,
and then in the case we added in a white seat belt style guitar
strap, as well is this really cool red coil cable.
All right, so let's check out some more distorted tones.
I'm going to go back to the gain channel of the Bassbreaker 30R.
Let's check it out.
