Harmony Sovereign H1260

Jimmy wrote many songs on his mid-60's Harmony Sovereign H1260 acoustic. He used it for composing songs and riffs, and I believe he used it on the acoustic 6 string intro parts of Stairway to Heaven. (TODO: Confirm this).

He also used it on stage during Zeppelin's acoustic set, at least during the first several years before he switched to two Martin D28s live.
TODO: Find out what he used before the Sovereign and when he switched to Martin D28's.

TODO: Include songs written and recorded with the Harmony.

TODO: Add dating links for H1260s, compare to Page's.

See my Harmony Sovereign page for a vintage example I believe is quite similar to Page's.

The following is taken from the ever-informative led-zeppelin.org:

Jimmy Page most likely brought the Harmony Sovereign H1260 Flattop along with him to Bron-Yr-Aur in May 1970 to work out songs that would later appear on Led Zeppelin III. He also used it in ca. November-December 1970 at Headley Grange, East Hampshire, England to record Untitled [IV].

Page brought the Harmony out on stage, beginning on the Return To The Clubs tour on March 5, 1971 at Belfast, Ireland's Ulster Hall through the end of the 1972 US Tour on June 28, 1972 at Tuscon, Arizona's Community Center.

The Harmony was used as his primary acoustic guitar on most songs of Led Zeppelin's acoustic set during this span of time, with the exception of Tangerine, in which Page played the Giannini GWSCRA12-P Craviola Acoustic.
