Famous lead guitarist Jimmy Page from the legendary rock band Led Zepplin was known for his tremendous electric guitar solos. Now you can bid and possibly win one of two Jimmy Page replica guitars!

These two high end, collectible Jimmy Page guitars are replicas of his awesome Gibson, 1959 Les Paul. Jimmy Page began using the Les Paul in the 1970’s and he named it “Number Two.” Gibson Custom recreated only 25 limited edition, “Number Two” guitars about four years ago with Page’s personal signature. 325 total were produced. 100 were aged by vintage-reproduction master Tom Murphy, plus 200 were finished to match Gibson’s VOS specs.

The guitar replicas are so spot on that even the unique wear of the Page’s original guitar through decades of use were mirrored. There are wear marks, dents and even minor dings. Page himself owns guitar #1 himself.

The other 1959 Les Paul replica guitars became popular collectibles. Now you can have the chance to actually own guitars #2 and #5 in this very special charity auction. The guitar auction is supporting the two deserving charitable organizations – Little Kids Rock and USO. The auction will begin on Thursday June 19, 2014 at 4PM PDT and runs until Sunday, June 29 at 4PM PDT and will be hosted by Guitar Center at – www.ebay.com/jimmypagelespaul

The two, limited-edition guitars are both individually numbered, personally signed and even played by Jimmy Page. The minimum auction bid starts at $20,000. The winners also receive a certificate of authenticity.

Guitar Center is the world’s largest retailer of guitars, amplifiers, drums, keyboards, recording, live sound, DJ and lighting equipment. 2014 is a major milestone year for Guitar Center. It’s the company’s 50th anniversary and continue their ongoing tradition of helping people make music.

Jimmy Page originally had the electronics of his “Number Two” guitar modified to try and achieve the widest possible range of sounds from two humbucker pickups. Page even tried to match his “Number One” Les Paul by having the iconic guitar’s neck shaved down.

The Custom Shop replica of the Jimmy Page “Number Two” Les Paul, is made with the finest material such as Grover tuners, stopbar tailpiece and the period-correct “antique bell” truss rod cover. Each of the guitar’s controls’ potentiometers was replaced with a push-pull pot to allow individual pickup of switching functions.

Adam Levine is the lead singer of the popular band Maroon 5 and continues to expand is empire by launching a new womenswear fashion line for retailer Kmart.

A menswear collection launched last fall by Adam Levine was successful for Kmart, so the sexy celebrity wanted to try and bring to market a women’s collection. The new fashion line for women includes a stylish collection of both dresses and separates.

When questioned about his level of expertise in womens fashion, Levine replied, “I don’t know how to read music, but I can still play. So I don’t really give a (expletive) about formal training or going to school. Levine continues, “You don’t have to be trained in everything to be good at it.”

Adam Levine is a busy guy these days. Of course, he’s still the frontman of the musical group Maroon five plus Adam is popular in his role as coach on NBC’s smash hit show “The Voice.”

Whether Adam has formal design training or not, he feel that is not important. He was quoted, “I kind of know what I like for both men and women. I think that it’s a little more difficult and challenging when you’re not, it’s not something you can conceptualize, or it’s not something you can conceive of wearing,” he said of designing for the opposite sex. “So I needed to get a little bit of help.”

The new womens fashion clothing line collection by Adam Levine will retail for $30 or less. The goal is for the new clothing line to feature colorful, casual printed T-shirts, patterned maxi dresses, mini crop tops, plus both twill and jean shorts.

Of course getting a little help from his stunningly beautiful fiancee doesn’t hurt either. Behati Prinsloo is a Victoria’s Secret model and helped Adam draw creative inspiration by allowing him to look through her clothing closet for ideas.

Adam Levine is taking this next endeavour very serious and said, “I didn’t want it to just be something that I phoned in. So I was really involved in the process.”

At age 34, Adam Levine drives many women crazy with his looks and vocals and late last year was awarded PEOPLE magazine’s Sexiest Man Alive for 2013.

His good looks made him a huge fan favorite last year, but Desiree did not choose him. His popularity was a no brainer for ABC to ask him to be this season’s The Bachelor.

The show’s finale will feature the Caribbean luxury resort – Cap Maison. It’s located on a dramatic four-acre cliff, north of popular Rodney Bay.

AskMen is proud to be the world’s No. 1 lifestyle Internet site for men and recently announced their popular “AskMen’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2014.”

More than one million votes came in from around the world and the winner of the World’s Most Desirable Woman was …. Emilia Clarke from HBO’s “Game of Thrones.” (above photo from AskMen)

This year marks the 13th edition of the Top 99 Most Desirable Women reader poll by AskMen. Readers were asked to vote for women who most closely match their ideals and to consider additional criteria including talent, character and potential for 2014. The goal was to not just make it a vote solely on sex appeal.

Below is the list of the Top 10 Women:
1) Emilia Clarke
2) Alison Brie
3) Emily Ratajkowski
4) Jennifer Lawrence
5) Emma Watson
6) Kate Upton
7) Kerry Washington
8) Amy Adams
9) Margot Robbie
10) Kate Moss

For 2013, Oscar-winning actress Jennifer Lawrence was voted No. 1 but slipped to No. 4 this year. Alison Brie is from the “Community” TV series and music video model Emily Ratajkowski starred in last year’s hit song “Blurred Lines.” The beautiful Emma Watson from the blockbuster “Harry Potter” movie series was voted No.5.

James Bassil is the publisher of AskMen and was quoted, “The final Top 99 list is the product of both reader and staff votes, but if it were up to the staff alone I don’t think we’d be seeing Miley Cyrus on it. AskMen reader votes secured her a spot, but we remain skeptical about some of her recent behavior. We’ll see what 2014 brings. But at the moment, No. 99 seems to be the right spot for her.”

Women from TV shows were very popular again this year. In addition to Emilia Clarke, the popular HBO show “Game of Thrones” also landed two other actresses on the Top 99 list – Oona Chaplin at No. 43 and Rose Leslie at No. 61. Kat Dennings from “2 Broke Girls” came in at No. 12, Zooey Deschanel of “New Girl” was No. 17 and the sexy Sofia Vergara from the hit ABC show “Modern Family” appeared at No. 40.

There some surprises as several women you rankled high last year, slipped after the 2014 vote. Mila Kunis fell from No. 2 all the way down to No. 26. Rihanna dropped from No. 4 to No. 19 plus beautiful model Miranda Kerr declined to No. 46 after ranking No. 6 last year.

In addition, three women you were in last year’s Top 10, fell completely off the 2014 Top 99 List –
Kristen Stewart, Michelle Jenneke and Jessica Pare. Just proves that popularity can be just a fleeting

moment. Other women who did not make AskMen’s Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2014 list were – Jennifer Lopez, Megan Fox, Blake Lively, Penelope Cruz, Gisele Bündchen and Jessica Alba.
