This Olympic White Fender Stratocaster was used by Jimmy Page to record rhythm tracks on the Led Zeppelin songs “Thank You” and “Ten Years Gone” in June 1969 at Morgan Studios, in Willesden, North London, England.
.At some point after the session, Page loaned the Strat to John Paul Jones. In September 2007, Jones finally returned the “long-tern loan” Strat back to Page during rehearsals for their reunion show in California around September of 2007 more than 30 years after he borrowed it. Page took these photos with the guitar a few days later…
He looks really happy to have it back.

At least one thing wrong here–"Ten Years Gone" was recorded in early '74 at Headley Grange & Olympic Studios.
Also: the main guitar on "Thank You" is an electric 12-string (either Fender or Vox, Page says he can't remember which). If this guitar is on it, it's as an overdub.
The moral of the story: the internet is full not only of useless crap, but incorrect useless crap.
JPJ said on his own website that he gave Jimmy a banjo (that Jimmy played on Gallows Pole) in exchange for the White Fender Strat.
The 2007 renuion show was in London, not California.
It was more "Thirty Years Gone" (the guitar) than "Ten". Was Page's reply to the returned Strat "Thank You"?
