DANELECTRO 3021
Jimmy Page’s secret weapon
Danelectros were budget guitars, with partly hollow hardboard bodies. Their unique lipstick pickups had a raw, ripping tone that Page loved, especially with DADGAD tuning. He reached for his 3021 on Kashmir, In My Time Of Dying and White Summer/ Black Mountain Side, and it was backup for his main squeeze, the Dragon Telecaster, in Zep’s early days. Watch Zeppelin at Earl’s Court 1975 to see it in anger.
