Guitar Center Announces Sell Out of Gibson Jimmy Page Double Neck Aged Guitars

[Jules]

Guitar Center (Nasdaq:GTRC), the nation's leading music instrument retailer, has again made its mark on musical history by selling out serial numbers #003-011 of the extremely limited edition Gibson Custom Shop Jimmy Page 1275 "Aged" Double Neck Electric Guitar. The announcement was made by Michael Doyle, Guitar Center Vice President of Product Marketing, and immediately followed last night's "Gibson Platinum Nights" held at GC's Hollywood, Manhattan, Nashville, Chicago, Dallas, Phoenix, Rockville, Atlanta and San Jose stores. Nine of the incredible "Aged" guitars were offered to customers who won the option to purchase at a random drawing held at these GC Platinum locations. The guitars, each individually signed and played by Jimmy Page, were "scooped up" by eager aficionados at $30,000.00 each.

Carefully recreated by the craftsmen at the Gibson Custom Shop, each handcrafted reissue of the Jimmy Page 1275 Double Neck Electric Guitar is modeled on Jimmy's personal instrument. From the shape of the neck to the long-string-pull tailpiece, no detail was overlooked. Even the pickups were painstakingly analyzed by the Gibson luthiers to duplicate their unique sound. <script><!-- D(["mb","\u003c/p\>\n\n\n\u003cp align\u003d\"left\"\>\nFeatures include mahogany body, mahogany necks with Madagascar \nrosewood fretboards and pearloid split parallelogram inlays, 2 specially-designed \nGibson Jimmy Page humbuckers, ABR-1 style bridge, double-band vintage-style \ntuners, a custom Gibson hardshell case and certificate of authenticity. \n\u003c/p\>\n\n\n\u003cp align\u003d\"left\"\>\nTwo models are available: the Jimmy Page 1275 VOS Double \nNeck Electric Guitar (250 worldwide) and the extremely limited &quot;Aged&quot; \nversion (26 worldwide).
