I don't know much about guitars but I sure like the way page and his les paul spoke to me.

Page live seemed to use mostly Les Pauls or the Gibson doubleneck through Marshalls, but in the studio I think he might have used more Tele through Vox AC30 amps. The entire first Zeppelin album was recorded on a Telecaster, as was the solo on Stairway to Heaven. I think he used whatever worked - for example he used a Dano Longhorn for parts of The Rain Song, among other things. That's why he has such a wide array of sounds, because he's not committed to a single guitar and amp combination. There's a pic out there of Page sitting in with Bad Company and playing one of Mick Ralph's Les Paul Jrs, but other than that, I don't think Page played the Jr. much at all, or ever with Zeppelin.

You probably know more than me,up north we used to pirate a Sunday evening rock show with interviews, I believe it was from LA and page was talking about a few of his favorite guitars and les paul being his go too,but ithat was over 30 years ago so i may be misremembering,mind you on that show brian johnson ac/dc claimed to have a road double for when he got burnt out and listed winnipeg as one place a double was used,now my buddy always waiting in line for floor seats we think he is bullshitting lol.

It's a Buck 112 Slim Ranger Select for carry today. Notice this version has no thumb stud but a nail nick instead. I think this version was made for export to Canada and other countries with restrictive import laws for knives. Sausage and eggs for breakfast.

Being a lockback I don't think we have restrictions up here on size,as long as it can't open with gravity,every biker has a 110 on his belt,alot of people walk around with 5" blades,its if you use it as a weapon,I heard one story about someone selling a benchmade 940 osborne to canada and really loosend the screws so that you could flick it open and customs confiscated it but I don't know what to make of that.because talking to an ex customs agent he laughs at the internet stories like we are in some nanny state,heck even hear people talk about are gun laws as being draconian when all you do is take your gun safety and send for your pal easy easy,now can we carry a hand gun down the street,nope.but we all learn 1 of 2 disciplines,either Kung fu or crazy some learn both,there's also the frowned upon bush wacking which is now considered taboo but which I grew up on.
