Zep and Tele
Yes, I too was astonished many years ago to hear Page played a Tele on Led Zeplin 1. Jeff Beck also played a Tele on Beck-Ola, IMHO the best album he ever made. the synchopation between Jeff's riffing and Tony Newman's snare is mind boggling. I'm not a Rod Stuart fan, but he was perfect on that album.
This is especially amazing on "Plynth- Water Down the Drain."
Both Zeplin and Beck are excellent examples of how guitars can fool you into thinking they are completely different animals. But, then again, look who was playing them!
