It’s important to note that the push pull pots and the switches were added in the 80s so they were not present during zeppelin

You know what they say, "Nothing has sold more Les Paul guitars more than Jimmy Pages telecaster." LOL.

Number 2 wiring made simple to understand: Pickguard switch 1: master series/parallel; works best in middle position, turns the middle position into a giant super bucker by combining them together as one Pickguard switch 2: Out of Phase Neck/Bridge Volumes: Individual series/parallel. Sounds like a very weak humbucker, produces single coil like tones, no hum. Both coils are on, but instead of wired together they're wired separately Neck/bridge tones: individual coil splits, only one coil is on, produces single coil tones, has hum, sounds like half a humbucker

Polaroids? You showing how young you are Trogly. Those are just regular old 35mm photos

Jimmy got the guitar at the drake hotel in nyc in 73 when a dealer came to his room. The thing gibson got wrong about the number 2 reissue was the black bobbin pickup, as the original has white bobbins

11:41 it's simply a bus bar. A way to connect multiple wires.

Hi Trogly, The gizmo in the control cavity is known as a terminal block in my industry (aviation). Used for wire management, lots cleaner and lighter than individual splices.

I love this thing. Never knew jimmy used pull pots, and those switches under the pick guard. Never had a guitar with pull pots, but wish i had the money for this. Love all the specs of it, and would love to screw around with all the different sounds you can get out of those pick ups 🤘🤘 awesome video trog.

If there's going to be a new Jimmy Page signature, my money is on it being his 1960 Black Beauty with all the crazy customizations. Since it was stolen years ago and only returned in 2021, now would be the time where Gibson could lay hands on the original in order to capture the specs.

Thank you for finally doing this one! I've always wanted to see the inside of the backplate

I really enjoy learning all the spec & details then we get to hear the Tones The 🐸 Toad is here for the long run.🐉

I don't usually particularly dig LP's coil split tones but these are the best I've heard them sound. Pagey is God!

ABSOLUTELY KILLER GUITAR!!!!! It would be my number one!!!

With yesterday's metal guitar, I was saying how Trog is NOT a metal guy because of his picking style, that he is a straight Rocker. This proves it, lol. This is 100% IN his wheelhouse. Lovely show tonight. Well done, Trog.

Rest assured Jimmy knew exactly what sound was for what he needed song wise.

I made that wiring for my epi, you can use the switching to increase or decrease the mids on the fly. My fav one is the middle position with a full bridge humbucker and split neck, while out of phase and in series.

His red double axe is sooo.....sweet ❤

The reason heritage cherry is one of my favorites 😍 ❤

Two words: Option paralysis. The only thing that would have this beat is an old BC Rich with all the switches and the onboard preamp.
