Jeff Beck "Blow by Blow" Les Paul

Many great off-the-shelf electric guitars have had their reputations elevated by the legendary artists who have played them. Once in a while, however, a heavily modified instrument is used to make such groundbreaking music that the erstwhile "one-off" becomes iconic in and of itself. The best known and most revered of these is arguably Jeff Beck's Oxblood Les Paul, a guitar from the heart of tone history. Now, Gibson Custom unveils the most accurate recreation of the Jeff Beck "Blow by Blow" Les Paul ever produced. From its aged and authentic Oxblood finish to the custom-tailored neck profile modeled precisely from Beck's original instrument to the blistering and powerful sounds produced by Gibson's legendary Burstbucker humbucking pickups, the new Jeff Beck "Blow by Blow" Les Paul from Gibson Custom leaves nothing to chance. It is simply one of the most exact replicas of any historic guitar ever produced by the master craftsmen at Gibson Custom.

As such, the new Jeff Beck "Blow by blow" Les Paul is available in very limited numbers. The first 50 of these historic guitars will be carefully aged by the master luthiers at Gibson Custom to look exactly like Beck's original, then personally hand-signed, numbered and played by Beck himself. Guitar Center has acquired 13 of these aged, signed guitars, all with low serial numbers. The next 100 guitars will be prepared with Gibson Custom's pioneering V.O.S. finish, of which 25 will be made available through Guitar Center stores. In all, only 150 Gibson Jeff Beck Les Pauls will be produced worldwide. Each one comes with a specially produced Gibson Custom case with Beck's signature silkscreened on the top, a custom care kit and a certificate of authenticity.
