Press Release Summary: Charity Auction on eBay for Gibson, Jimmy Page Aged EDS-1275
Double Neck Guitar
#11 of 26 Signed and Played by Jimmy Page


Press Release Body: San Luis Obispo, CA, November 26, 2007 - Bidding has now started
on eBay for the guitar that made "Stairway to Heaven" a hit.

A rare "aged" reproduction of Jimmy Page's s signature EDS-1275 Double Neck Guitar
is being sold for charity with eBay Giving Works, eBay's dedicated charity listing
program. The Jimmy Page Guitar Charity Auction runs November 26 to December 6, 2007
with 10% of the winning proceeds benefiting the MusiCares Foundation.

Guitar collectors and fans of Jimmy Page and Led Zeppelin can place bids from now
until 5 PM PST on December 6, 2007, when the charity auction will close. All bidders
will be pre-qualified through Kompolt Online Auction Agency.

The winning bidder will receive #11 of the just twenty-six Limited Edition Gibson
guitars replicated after the one Page played during the 1971 Led Zeppelin IV tour.
Jimmy Page personally played and then signed each of the twenty-six, keeping #1 for
himself. This particular replica is identical to the original inside and out, with
not only the same unique electronics, but identical scrapes, scratches, dents and
dings--all administered by Jimmy over the years through heavy tour use of the
original guitar-- painstakingly recreated by Gibson's Custom Shop, the industry
pioneers and leaders of the guitar aging process.

Since the night it was purchased at a private "Platinum Night" event held at the San
Jose, CA, Guitar Center earlier this year, the guitar has been kept sealed in the
box - it has never been displayed publicly or privately. The only fingerprints on
the guitar are from Jimmy Page himself.

Page said in a recent interview that he is reputed to own in excess of 1500 guitars
and has no intention of parting with any of his own Zeppelin memorabilia; whether or
not you attend the band's upcoming reunion concert in London, this official replica
may be as close as you'll come to one of Jimmy's actual guitars.

The guitar comes with a Certificate of Authenticity personally signed by Jimmy Page.
