I salvaged the neck and put it on my brown Tele string bender that I used in the Firm.

His paint job totally screwed up the sound and the wiring, so only the neck pickup worked. As you can guess, I wasn’t real happy about that. He said, “I’ve got a present for you.” He thought he had done me a real favor. I went on tour with the ’59 Les Paul that I bought from Joe Walsh, and when I got back, a friend of mine had kindly painted over my paint job. “I still have it (referring to the Dragon Tele), but it’s a tragic story. Jimmy finally replaced the Tele with his Number One, 1959 Gibson Les Paul in 1969 – but picked it up again only to record the solo on “Stairway to Heaven”. The guitar ended up looking the way it’s mostly known for – featuring yellowish finish, and red and black dragon decal. This remodeling also included adding a metal/mirror pickguard.

When Jimmy first got it, the guitar was painted completely white, but at some point in 1967 he glued eight circular mirrors on the body – four of them behind the bridge, three below the pickups, and one on top of the body. After a while, Jimmy decided to take the mirrors off, strip the paint of the guitar and repaint it himself. After Jeff left the band later that year, Jimmy took over the role of the lead guitarist and played with the band until its break-up in 1968. During all his time with the Yardbirds, this Telecaster was Jimmy’s main instrument. Jimmy did eventually join the Yardbirds and played alongside Beck as a rhythm guitarist/bassist. This guitar was given to Jimmy by Jeff Beck in 1966 as a gift shortly after Page recommended Beck to replace Eric Clapton in the Yardbirds, instead of himself – which was Clapton’s initial idea. The guitar was made by a Chzechoslovakian company Drevokov located in the city of Blatná, who named it Grazioso for home market and Futurama for foreign markets (read more about it at The Futurama Guitar Story) . It featured sunburst finish, three single-coil pickups with individual switches below them, and a maple neck with dot inlays.Īlthough we don’t know for sure, but it’s safe to presume that Jimmy played this guitar during his early time as a session guitarist in the 60s, before getting the ’59 Telecaster and his Les Paul. This was Jimmy’s first electric guitar – the one he bought second-hand after realizing that his old Hofner acoustic just wasn’t good enough anymore.

Jimmy is of course mostly known for playing Gibson Les Paul guitars, and he is perhaps one of the people responsible for making the guitar one of the most popular models among guitarists. But even though he played Les Pauls for most of his career, Jimmy started of his professional career playing a 59 Telecaster, which he used in the Yardbirds and later on to record the solo on “Stairway To Heaven”.
