Jimmy Page. Greenwood and his main Telecaster Plus in action

This 1959 Fender Telecaster was owned by John Owen who purchased it for 107 pounds in 1961. The exact date of the instrument is unknown, but there are some clues that provide us with Jimmy Page Telecaster a pretty decent idea. Due to the fact that the guitar was equipped with a top loader bridge yet the body still has holes on the back to put the strings through, a feature that was common for Telecasters produced in 1959 and 1960. Additionally, the guitar was equipped with a rosewood fretboard, a feature that was first introduced in mid-1959.

About the pickguard Page said, Jimmy Page Telecaster guitar “Yes. There was work done on it but only afterwards. I painted it; everyone painted their guitars in those days. And I had reflective plastic sheeting underneath the pick guard that gives rainbow colors.” n late 1967, Jimmy Page stripped the Fender Blond paint off and handpainted a green, red and orange psychadelic dragon on the front of the ash body and replaced the pickguard with a pickguard made of clear acrylic with a sheet of diffraction grating film underneath. Jimmy Page brought the Dragon Telecaster to Led Zeppelin and used it as his primary guitar until late April 1969 when he bought the Gibson Les Paul 'Number One' from Joe Walsh.
