The off-center-seam two-piece ash body hosts a period-accurate lacquer finish, and bears the dragon design hand-painted by Page himself. Painstakingly hand-built by Waller under Page’s eager, direct supervision, every component of these stellar guitars matches the original’s.

We’re both pleased and proud to present this instrument that honors the man, his music and the guitar he used to create it. Page visited our Custom Shop in Corona, CA and personally painted a portion of the dragon design on each guitar. To recreate this legendary instrument, Master Builder Paul Waller and Page collaborated in person to ensure each guitar of these 50 sets perfectly matches the original. The beast’s flaming red horns and green head rest inside the blunt upper horn, green scales run down its neck as it breaks into a colorful abstraction that could include a cracked egg near the control panel and a tail that snakes into the upper bout from the lower. Page partially painted over the stripped 1959 Telecaster with darts and curls of green, orange, yellow, blue and red in a pattern that formed something of a swirling, psychedelic, vaguely Japanese dragon. By mid-1967 he decided to strip the instrument down to bare wood and drawing on his art school training, repaint it himself with what became the iconic “Dragon” design. Originally received as an undecorated gift from Jeff Beck, he used this 1959 Telecaster to unleash his larger-than-life riffage and fierce soloing upon the world.
