Best Answer

On stairway to heaven, he used a Fender Telecaster for the solo and his Les Paul for the chorus. This is info for the studio version.

==========

Jimmy Page may have used a 12-string electric for the Am-G-F riffs at the ending of "Stairway to Heaven". (Contrary to what the previous contributor wrote, "Stairway" does not have a chorus.) Live, Page uses a Gibson EDS-1275 for the song, and it is shown clearly in all Led Zeppelin film and video releases that Page uses the 6-string neck for the intro (the acoustic part on the studio version), and then the 12-string neck for everything up to the solo, where he finally switches back to the 6-string neck. After the solo, he switches back to the 12-string neck for the riff.

A Fender Electric XII was used for the 12-string parts on the studio recording. The solo was played on the Fender Telecaster given to Page by Jeff Beck, as a token of appreciation to Page for introducing Beck to The Yardbirds.

How old was jimmy page when he first sang stairway to heaven?

Jimmy Page does not sing "Stairway to Heaven" Rather, he plays the guitar for it. Robert Plant (Led Zeppelin's singer) sings the song. The song originated in 1970 when Page and Plant were at Bron-Yr-Aur which is a small cottage in Wales. They played by campfires and Page always had taperecorders, so they came up with the intro and a verse or two while there later adding recorder (flute thing), piano, drums, ect. Apparently, plant wrote most of the lyrics one night by a log fire, just writing what he thought and out came Stairway.
