There are few players like Jeff Beck – thus, there are few guitars like the Epiphone Jeff Beck Oxblood 1954 Les Paul. Beck, a guitarist among the highest pantheon of players, has inspired countless with his fiery, soulful playing. Today's Epiphone Jeff Beck Oxblood 1954 Les Paul captures the essence of Beck's heavily modified 1954 Les Paul – known for its unique chocolate brown and oxblood finish.

Beck's original 1954 Les Paul sold at auction for $1.3 million. In 2009, an encounter with the Gibson Custom Shop brought fifty replicas of Beck's oxblood to the world, and now, in collaboration with the Custom Shop, Epiphone revives this Gibson classic for the players of today.

This Epiphone signature begins with a classic Les Paul body shaped from mahogany with a maple top. Imparting that all-important Les Paul authenticity when slung over the shoulder, this body is decked in a finish replicating Beck's original chocolate oxblood color. Extending out, a one-piece mahogany neck takes a Jeff Beck Custom Large C profile for a full grip in hand. An Indian rosewood fingerboard with twenty-two Medium Jumbo frets and aged mother-of-pearl trapezoid inlays lay out a formidable runway off which your best Beck-style licks can fly.

Sonically, this Jeff Beck special comes to life with the addition of two American-made Gibson Custombucker pickups. Wired with CTS potentiometers and Mallory capacitors, these pickups utilize '50s-style wiring for a unique tone mixing experience. These pickups are set to produce all the heat and nuance Beck was known to bring to his playing with taste and finesse. Smaller considerations brought to this guitar that do quite a bit for its overall experience include a low-friction Graph Tech nut and Schaller M6 90 tuning machines that ensure stability past the headstock. A historic aluminum wraparound bridge matches at the scale's opposite end. Specifications for authenticity to Beck's original Les Paul include gold Speed knobs and a pickguard with a gap above the bridge pickup. Visually and audibly, this Epiphone creation is a masterful representation of an icon of electric guitars.

For fans of Beck seeking something authentic to add to their collection or for Les Paul fans universally, the Jeff Beck Oxblood 1954 Les Paul is a decadent example of fine guitarcraft in action.
