I'm going to have to go with 'Stairway to Heaven". I was astonished when I found out Jimmy Page used an old Fender Telecaster, so long the poor relation of the Fender Stratocaster & the Gibson Les Paul to record it...
"The extended Jimmy Page guitar solo in the song's final section was played for the recording on a 1959 Fender Telecaster given to him by Jeff Beck (an instrument he used extensively with the Yardbirds)[15] plugged into a Supro amplifier,[16] although in an interview he gave to Guitar World magazine, Page also claimed, "It could have been a Marshall, but I can't remember"."

Just listening to it again, first time in long time... majestic is the only word I can come up with.
