Led Zeppelin’s last live gig was in 2007 at The O2 arena in London, with Page, vocalist Robert Plant, and bassist John Paul Jones getting together and playing a 16-song setlist. Son of the late John Bonham, Jason Bonham, replaced him as the drummer.

At the time, it was reported that the group will embark on a tour, and Page confirmed this in a recent interview with BBC Radio 2. According to the guitarist, they considered doing more shows but “it didn’t come off.”

When asked whether Led Zeppelin might get to it at some point in the future, Page gave a disappointing answer.

“It seems really unlikely that there would be a tour in the future,” he said. “Unlike The Rolling Stones, they do sort of know that the fans love that—also I know that with Led Zeppelin [fans too]. But it doesn’t look as though there’s anything in the future, unfortunately.”

Despite not playing together, Led Zeppelin members recently got together in 2018 to commemorate the band’s 50th anniversary. As part of the celebration, the group released an illustrated book and reissued a triple live album How the West Was Won on vinyl.

The intriguing guitar was designed by Page himself to make his performances even more psychedelic and entertaining for audiences. Few guitars in rock ‘n’ roll history are as special and iconic as his.

The Led Zeppelin guitarist explained that following his time with the Yardbirds, he wanted a guitar he could really make his own.

“I tried applying mirrors to it so you could use it in an optical way,” he recalls. “It was this whole thing of the reflective surfaces, and you could actually reflect the light onto other things; to make it sort of almost kinetic at the same time…”

The official description of the guitar on the official Fender website reads: “Few guitars are as important to the history of rock as the Telecaster Jimmy Page used to create the iconic, genre-defining riffs of Led Zeppelin. 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.”

It also adds: “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. Page visited our Custom Shop in Corona, CA and personally painted a portion of the dragon design on each guitar. We’re both pleased and proud to present this instrument that honors the man, his music and the guitar he used to create it.”
