Description
What makes this guitar special: We get a lot of Jeff Beck models through the shop, but the reason this particular one stood out for us is the way the finish has aged over the last 14 years. The back of the body shows the true color of the Olympic White finish, but the top & sides have aged beautifully into more of a Desert Sand, with the cutaway pockets looking even more on the yellow side. There's some "ghosting" in the top behind the bridge & near the input jack, probably from hang tags. Our best guess is the guitar was on display in a showroom window & the direct sunlight took its toll on the finish. However it happened, it's what we would consider a happy accident, because it just looks so cool!
