Jimmy Page
15 September 2007

It is one of the most instantly recognisable guitars in the history of rock'n'pop, up there with Paul McCartney's long, slender bass and the bulky acoustic with which Elvis Presley cavorted on many of his early hits.

Aficionados know it as the Gibson EDS-1275. To the rest of us, it is the outlandish double-neck guitar made famous by the musician widely regarded as without equal among exponents of the instrument – Led Zeppelin's Jimmy Page.
