The New Jeff Beck 1954 Gibson Les Paul Electric Guitar

By Robert W. Walker
Once in a very long while a guitar comes out that captures the heart and imagination of those that have come to relish it. That time has come again as that kind of guitar is being brought out again. The guitar I'm referring to is the Jeff Beck 1954 Les Paul Oxblood guitar and it has been considered by many to be the best Gibson Les Paul electric guitar. It's going to be released as a limited run edition and will no doubt become a very valuable collector's edition. The original guitar had such a rich distinct sound that will conjure up many good memories. A lot of people who are familiar with this guitar always tend to focus on the unique sound qualities this fine instrument has been able to produce through out the years. This is just one fine example of a Gibson Les Paul electric guitar.

This will be a limited edition run of one hundred and fifty guitars. The first fifty are going to be very carefully aged to look like the original guitar played by Jeff Beck. Another outstanding feature of the first fifty of these guitars is that they are going to be personally signed by Jeff Beck. The other one hundred of these replicas will be given a special finish. All one hundred and fifty will come with a special Gibson case and a care kit to insure continued care. The guitar also comes with a certificate of authenticity. The cost of these guitars is rumored to be around $8,000.00 to $8,500.00. I'm sure once this limited run is complete that the value will go up as a collectors item.

One thing that a lot of musicians seem to think about is how many of these guitars will actually get played as opposed to merely collected. It's hard to say as only time will be able to tell that outcome. One thing is for pretty sure... these guitars will sell like hotcakes. I'm sure that for most people, a quality Gibson Les Paul electric guitar is enough for them; however for a select few, this Jeff Beck guitar will be so so sweet.
