Syd Barrett’s silver Fender Esquire guitar with mirrored discs glued to the body was the guitar he was most often associated with and the guitar he “felt most close to.” He used this guitar with Pink Floyd and for his solo albums….
In what seems like a tribute to Syd Barrett, while with The Yardbirds, Jimmy Page put black discs stickers on the 1958 Fender Telecaster given to him by Jeff Beck…

Page would later give this guitar a make-over and turn it into his famous “Dragon” Telecaster he would eventually use on the solo for Led Zeppelin’s “Stairway To Heaven.”
