Jeff Beck Oxblood 1954 Les Paul, Oxblood
Sound. Sensitivity. Taste. Grace and finesse.
To many guitarists and thousands of fans, Jeff Beck was one of the greatest musicians to ever hold a guitar. From his beginnings with the Yardbirds to his projects with the Jeff Beck Group, Beck, Bogert & Appice, as a studio musician and throughout his solo career, Jeff Beck was one of the most influential lead guitarists of all time. A true guitarists guitarist and sonic innovator, he mastered many genres: rock, blues, hard rock, and jazz fusion. He helped popularize the use of feedback, fuzz pedals, and distortion, influencing countless musicians with his unmistakable style.
An eight-time GRAMMY Award winner, including six for Best Rock Instrumental Performance, Beck also received the Ivor Novello Award for his outstanding contribution to British music. He was inducted twice into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame: once with the Yardbirds, and once as a solo artist.
His heavily modified 1954 Les Paul, known as the Oxblood due to its unique chocolate red finish, was immortalized on the cover of his groundbreaking first solo album Blow by Blow.
