Guitar Magazine April 1998 Jimmy Page Led Zeppelin Eric Clapton SKU 1551

Original Guitar Magazine, dated April 1998, Volume 8 Number 7, featuring Jimmy Page as the main cover subject with an exclusive interview and extensive Led Zeppelin-related guitar content.

A particularly attractive issue for collectors of Jimmy Page, Led Zeppelin, classic rock, vintage guitar magazines and 1990s guitar equipment, with the cover dominated by Page holding a sunburst Les Paul-style guitar.

The issue combines artist interviews, guitar history, lessons, equipment comparisons and gear reviews, making it both a music collectible and a useful period reference for guitarists.

Main Jimmy Page / Led Zeppelin Content

The major cover feature is:

“Exclusive New Interview – Jimmy Page”

The cover also promotes:

• Page’s guitars unveiled
• A full Led Zeppelin lesson
• Detailed guitar-related material centred around Page’s instruments and playing
• Strong Led Zeppelin/classic-rock collector interest

The main cover photograph is especially striking, showing Jimmy Page with a Les Paul-style electric guitar against a simple studio background.

Other Artists & Features

Other named artists and features visible on the cover include:

• Eric Clapton
• Pitchshifter
• Rialto
• Bernard Butler
• Van Halen
• Therapy?

There is therefore a good mixture of classic guitar icons and late-1990s rock/alternative coverage.

Guitar & Gear Features

The cover advertises:

• Peavey vs PRS – “Going For Gold” comparison
• Electro-Harmonix effects
• Ibanez bass
• Pignose amplifiers
