Jimmy Page Likes His Music Heavy But Not His Guitars

Apparently Jimmy Page doesn't like his guitars to be heavy. In the case of one particular Gibson Les Paul, Jimmy's loss is someone else's gain. In this case it is Dan Hawkins of The Darkness, who says, "I call that my 'Love is More Than a Feeling' guitar... It's had an interesting life already, that Les Paul. I was waiting for delivery of a different humbucker to fit on it, but my then-guitar tech said he had a 'bucker that he'd taken out of one of Angus Young's SGs. He fitted Angus's old pickup, it sounded awesome, so I left it in. It's become my Page-enstein Les Paul."

Jimmy Page says that while he collects guitars, the one he's used consistently is the Les Paul.

"Along the way I've collected quite a number of guitars for various nostalgic reasons, y'know. Like, I've got an Eddie Cochran guitar, if you like -- in the style of, not his guitar -- the Buddy Holly one. I mean, as you go along you start to make a guitar collection. But the Les Paul that I've got, since I've had that I've played that all the way through."
