Description
This is the Epiphone Jeff Beck Oxblood 1954 Les Paul, and it's a solid pick for intermediate to advanced players-especially those into blues-rock, fusion, or anything with a lot of expressive lead work. Based on the legendary '54 Les Paul that Beck made famous during his "Blow By Blow" era, this model replicates the custom-modified guitar he used onstage and in the studio, right down to the moody oxblood finish and key hardware details. It's only available for a limited time, which makes it even more compelling if this one speaks to you.
It comes loaded with a pair of Gibson Custombuckers-open-coil, double-black bobbin humbuckers that push vintage-style tone with clarity and bite. The solid mahogany body, combined with a 1954-style neck carve and Gibson's historic aluminum wraparound tailpiece, gives this guitar sustain for days and a snappy attack. Grover Rotomatic tuners with spade-style buttons keep things stable, while the Gibson-style headstock lends that visual authenticity collectors and tone chasers will appreciate.
The chunky mid-'50s neck has a confident, full feel, but it's well-balanced and easy to get around-especially if you're after that expressive vibrato and bending that Beck made so fluid. It includes a replica of Jeff's own guitar strap and comes housed in a vintage-style hardshell case. We've had this one in-hand, and it's built to do the job right out of the box-no fuss, just a rock-solid instrument that delivers.
