Jimmy Page is one of my favorite guitarists. There are a lot of iconic pictures of Page that have been made over the years, but I like this one because it puts the focus on his Les Paul:

I had the opportunity to meet Jimmy Page backstage years ago during the Led Zeppelin III tour. He was a nice guy that truly cared about Zeppelin’s fans. Page was actually interested in what I (a mere teen) thought about the show. And yes, that’s a cool shot of his Les Paul.
Cool story, Ed. I bet that was a show to remember!
The show opened with Dazed and Confused and Since I’ve been Loving You. Zeppelin’s performance was so powerful, it was a life altering experience for me.
