Directorial duo Smith & Foulkes at Nexus Studios help visualize an otherworldly trip for the electrified instrument that helped usher guitar wizard Jimmy Page out of the Yardbirds and into Led Zeppelin. It was commissioned by Fender for the 50th anniversary of Led Zeppelin, which is seeing the release of two new, exacting replicas of Page’s original ’59 Telecaster.
